This table looks great and I loved the detailed playfield! But I noticed when I rotated it for 16x9 FS play that the light in the top left corner has the wrong off/on texture applied to it. This light is barely noticeable when in 4x3 screen view. It is the light with the name L39 on the top left of the top playfield. The off image should be LiPlayf2, and the on image should be LiPlayf2L for people who want to fix it.

Thank you very much for this table TAB!!


Best Regards,
Todd.

That's mystery. All lights copy and paste. But you are right.
Also strange on the table - don't know why - when i have on and off image on L59 it doesn't work. That's why it has only a on image.

I modded this table for Fullscreen mode back in August 2009. I could upload it to the Fullscreen table area, if enough people are interested and TAB authorizes it.


Best Regards,
Todd.

I love your table. It plays almost exactly like the real one my uncle used to have. I have however noticed a bug. The lower left drop targets fail to reset after they've been knocked down. They also keep scoring as if they are always being hit once they are down. This is leading to unusually high scores. The only time they are up is when the table is first loaded.

Playtesting results for Stern's Lightning:

Listed Problems and fixes:

1) When target 27 is hit, adjacent lamp does not light.

Typing error in script needs fixing:

Sub T27_Hit:T27.TimerEnabled=1:vpmTimer.PulseSw 25:T27.IsDropped=1:T27a.IsDropped=0:End Sub

Change to:

Sub T27_Hit:T27.TimerEnabled=1:vpmTimer.PulseSw 27:T27.IsDropped=1:T27a.IsDropped=0:End Sub

2) When target 25 is hit, adjacent lamp does not light.

Change lamp assignment from L6 to L39 and change timer interval to 39.

3) When target 8 is hit, adjacent lamp does not light.

Change lamp assignment from L53 to L55 and change timer interval to 55.

4) When target 31 is hit, adjacent lamp does not light.

Change lamp assignment from L39 to L6 and change timer interval to 6.

5) When target 32 (hidden from view) is hit, corresponding lamp does not light.

Change lamp assignment from L55 to L53 and change timer interval to 53.

6) Upper playfield, left outlane, does not light corresponding lamp.

Change lamp assignment from L12 to L60 and change timer interval to 60.

7) Upper playfield, right outlane, does not light corresponding lamp.

Change lamp assignment from L28 to L44 and change timer interval to 44.

8) Lower playfield left inlane, does not light corresponding lamp.

Change lamp assignment from L44 to L28 and change timer interval to 28.

9) Lower playfield right inlane, does not light corresponding lamp.

Change lamp assignment from L60 to L12 and change timer interval to 12.

Of minor concern: The following lamps need to have colors changed:

Lamp L11 (Shoot Again on Lower Playfield) - From Red to Orange
Lamp L9 (Left Arrow to Center Target on Center Target Bank) - From Red to Orange
Lamp L56 (Left Arrow to Center Target on Upper Target Bank) - From Red to Orange

Hope this helps, because I really love playing this table!

Not sure what you meant. Is it OK to upload a version with the corrected lamp assignments?
