1.0 : This is a conversion from FS to DT of table "Lady Luck - VP915+ - FS 1.0" from Lucasbuck & Herweh

Big thanks to them for this fantastic EM table and for their permission to MOD

Here is what I did :
- The backdrop and the new apron
- Replaced everything I could by primitives (pegplastics, rubbers, wire ramps, bumper caps ...)
- Improved definition of playfield and plastics
- Cleaned plastics (removed screws from images)
- Added green cover (50.000 POINTS) on left plastic
- Updated targets
- Added Reels for scores, credits and ball in play

My special thanks :
- Lucasbuck & Herweh for their fantastic table
- Gtxjoe for telling me what to add to the script for Scores Reels to work
- BorgDog for telling me what to add to the script for Ball in Play Reel to work
- JPSalas for his fantastic Ball "JPBall2"

Thanks from Lucasbuck & Herweh (and, of course, myself) :
- EalaDubhSidhe for his version of the table as I learned a lot bout the ruleset of the table from his version
- JPSalas as I used his "Big Brave" table as my startup and of course took some stuff from his table
- Arngrim for adding some cool DOF commands
- Alpha Ramp Plunger code by Koadic
- Fading Lamps code and much more from JPSalas
- Some sound files and ideas from JimmyFingers
- Ball rolling code by JimmyFingers and/or Rascal
- B2B Collision code by Steely & Pinball Ken and Koadic
and to all I've forgotten here maybe.

I am getting the mechanical sounds flippers, ball rolling, bumpers, etc. but no bells or chimes.... Do you have any ideas what could be causing this?  

[allknowing2012]

Says it uses DOF - which is physical solenoids for thuds and such .. do you have this on your rig? If not you need to disable that to hear the sounds themselves.

Look for something in <vp>/user/ directory .. likely controller.txt and disable those entries?

[batch]

Thanks again for your help, Allknowing

 

I have many problems because, I think, all the features I add on the desktop were on the backglass

 

Gtxjoe, Borgdog and you kindly helped me to edit the Sript but for me it's new language I don't understand very well

 

At this time, I'm trying to add EMReels for High score, and I need your help again (I use EMReels "EMReelHSNum1 to EMReelHSNum7" which were on a postit stuck on the apron of the FS version)

 

The High score displayed is allways equal to "1.111.000 points" minus "my score" (Ex : if my score is 111.000 the high score will be 1.000.000)

Thanks for this advice allknowing. I am away from my machine so I can't check now. However, I think you're describing the opposite of my problem. I am hearing mechanical sounds, but I am not hearing bells or chimes. Is this what you understood I was saying?

[Thalamus]

Same problem.

[batch]

For information, I use VP992 with VPinMAME 2.7 (windows 10) and I can hear bells & chimes

Does this table use a ROM?  You link a ROM to it but it is for Bally's Lady Luck and it seems to me that this is an EM. (Recel table I think is an EM)

[batch]

I think you're right, the only thing I found in the script is : Controller.B2SName = "LadyLuck" whereas it should be : cGameName= "ladyluck" if this table used a ROM

 

It's the first EM table I MOD, so I didn't know that !

 

Thanks for the information, ta2686

[Scorpion]

please, try to resolve this....we wait for 1.1 version.

Thanks

Here is, I think, the solution

 

As I did a MOD of a B2S table, you just have to open the Script and do the following

 

(line 20)    Const Start_With_Backglass    = 1        ' 0 or 1 to disable or enable the dB2S backglass

 

I'm on the version 1.1 but I have a problem with the High score Reels I want to add

 

I need some help again (I use EMReels "EMReelHSNum1 to EMReelHSNum7" which were on a postit stuck on the apron of the FS version)

 

The High score displayed is allways equal to "1.111.000 points" minus "my score" (Ex : if my score is 111.000 the high score will be 1.000.000)

I uploaded version 1.1

 

For me High score is working and I can hear bells, chimes and targets

 

I spent many hours on trying to solve these problems, with kindly help from Gtxjoe, BorgDog and Allknowing and I hope you'll enjoy playing this table

[batch]

I just uploaded version 1.2

 

I forgot to add something in the script

 

Now I go to bed, good night !

[batch]

Uploaded version 1.3

 

Added EMReels for player's name, so, now everything should be fine

 

Sorry for all these updates, and this time I really go to bed

[Scorpion]

Good night and thanks for your efforts
