Hi,

I am testing version 1.3 tonight.

I fixed the slingshot issue, added illuminated slingshot-plastics and removed some unused droppable walls - as Noah suggested that they are reducing performance.

For the not recognized center lane passings, I have tested the trigger and all seems right as it always fires. So it seems to be a Bios issue I can do nothing about at the moment.

ArcadiusMaximus, I experienced the same and reduced the vpmNudge.Sensitivity from 4 to 2. We cannot get rid of the nudge influence, as two normal balls are used to simulate the wrecker ball movement (they are hidden within the boxes left and right of the playfield). If a sensitivity of 2 is too low for You, You can adjust it within the script.

In version 1.3 I will no longer use the LockJam switch to release the ball at the fridge. Everything seems good by now but I will leave the actual code to be activated with a mere constant "UseLockJamOnFridge" set to TRUE, if someone encounters ball losses again.

If all goes well, I will upload both versions (FS/Desktop) before the weekend.

Regards
Michael

Michael,

I am very happy to see an improved Junkyard table.  Thank you for al your hard work on this!

[grunger106]

Is it my system or do the balls on this table feel very 'floaty' all the other tables run fine. This looks fantastic, and doesn't feel slow generally, its just the ball seems to float around.

@grunger -> in the editor click on "backdrop" and then "physics & graphics"

 

edit these settings as you like , I copied over the settings from a different table where i liked the physics...

Well that worked perfectly!

I copied the settings over from TAF and now it plays great.

One more thing - the mechanical flipper sounds are very quiet on this table, but not any others (I thought these were controlled globally though?)

[gogo69]

nope ! again go to your favourite table export flipper sounds

delete flipper sounds on Junkyard ( check name of deleted sound should be the same as the ones you gonna import)

import sounds you just exportet from your favourite pin into junkyard

go play

 

btw if you going to ask for dB2S support next ... you have to edit the scipt ... exchange first part

Thanks for your help!

I've got UVP rather than dB2S on this one

(I've only been doing dB2S on the tables that have moving backglass for now as otherwise I'd have to go through ~100 tables...)

[grunger106]

Is there any way to remove the Windows Shopping area on the playfield if using DB2S?

Other than that I think this is now perfect on my mini-cab!

[gogo69]

Windows Shopping area ?!

[grunger106]

Sorry - There is a Window Shopping set of lights, right at the top of the playfield just to the right of the toilet. 

They do the job that you'd look to the back glass on the real machine for (Similar to Scared Stiff you have the spider on the apron unless you modify the table)

If you have the DB2S working this is redundant as the back glass lights do the job.

Sorry if I'm not being clear!

[gogo69]

ok

click on backdrop

look for the blue standing rectangular shape with the 5 yellow squares on top (on the left bottom)

select them all and move them to the left away from visible area

 

play the table

You forgot to say "save table ".

You forgot to say "save table ".

Ohhhhhh, that's what I've been doing wrong.....

[gogo69]

your're welcome

[grunger106]

Thanks for all your help!

Working perfectly on my cab now...

This is a fantastic community

[gogo69]

i made the playfield a little darker - easy move to make it look even better

(optically seperates the playfield from the parts that stand out )

Hello folks...

Does anyone still play these games? I still exist and have all the files on a hard drive somewhere. Haven't thought about this game in a long time. Maybe I could send my WIPs to one of you to complete.

[oooPLAYER1ooo]

i was planning on using that playfield redraw soon, its on my list

[mfuegemann]

Hi Nealtron,

 

thank You for the offer. I am quite happy with my FS table (V1.4) so far. With the increased gravity it plays really well. If You could provide better quality pictures of the bus ramp and/or a better playfield, You would be welcome.

 

Regards

Michael
