Hi bmiki i have try to rescale picture at 1024x1024 its better but something wrong with the Trex

original table before fixe http://vpforums.org/...t/82/error1.jpg

now table after rescale playfield http://vpforums.org/...t/82/error2.jpg

do you think there is another picture needed to be modified ?
thank you

Error1 is the typical error of old video card with few ram so rescale image solve it.
For t-rex animation unfortunatly i don't think is related to image size but to CPU power becasue it look like some ramps skip to disappear (timer lose some step and ramp remain on video).
Try to rescale all t-rex image but i'm not sure it will fix, or try to increase timer interval of RexTimer to 400 in spite of 200

Hope you can solve

Hi, Pardon my dumbness, but I don't really know how to rescale etc. is this the only way I can make JP work?

Try this Preferences-->Video Option and then set 1024 , try to check or uncheck hardware render (dipend on your video card) and slider to max left as in image

O.K. here ARE 2 bugs I have noticed.
1) The ball should have more force when shot from the plunger lane to make it to the pop bumpers.
2) This is related to #1, during multiball the balls can get stacked in the plunger lane and don't have enough force to eject from the shooter lane.

Thank You, Thank you.....
It WORKED!!!!

This is truly one of the best pinballs I have seen.
It is as close as I have got to playing the real thing on an emulator.

Thanks again, and keep up the great work...

Bug Report:
Ball seems to get stuck in odd places creating problems during the game.
In photo 1, the ball disappeared from play and a ball search began. Pressing "O" shows the ball stuck somewhere underneath the habitrail. In photo 2. the ball went up the ramp, flew off and ended up in the captive ball area.

In the first situation, the ball is between the gate and the bumper, under the plastic.

The picture is wrong

How to fix?

O.K. here ARE 2 bugs I have noticed.
1) The ball should have more force when shot from the plunger lane to make it to the pop bumpers.
2) This is related to #1, during multiball the balls can get stacked in the plunger lane and don't have enough force to eject from the shooter lane.

Here's a short video chip to show how balls bunch up in the shooter lane....

Thanks bmiki75.

The ball is stuck between the rubber and Gate2.
I used another invisible Gate and some invisible walls to solve the problem.
For Gate2 I unchecked the box collidable.
For all drop targets using a negative value for the bottom height, so you do not see the top when it is dropped.

Should be public now..
Also lucky enough to get into "CHAOS" mode but 4 balls ended up in shooter lane, with not enough plunger (gun)energy to get them out!

Thanks for the fixes but I now have a new bug.

When the ball goes in the danger kickout next to the captive ball it should send it towards the flippers/ flipper gap but sometimes it sends it to the T-REX hole. I don't know how this happens since they are on the same part of the playfield.

I have tried to force 4 ball in shooter lane by code and now plunger had the stregth to put them out in different try.

Locate line sw29.Kick 180, 30
and change in sw29.Kick 185, 30

Hi Max thanks for Gate2 I'll try to add it in next release, for negative value the target are not dropping target the are hit target so they do not have to fall down.

[kiwi]

Hello Miki if you use two target for the animation, the target behind is down, see the image below.
Initially the two targets are both up, because this code is missing in the "Sub JurassicPark_Init()"

Sub JurassicPark_Init()

sw25a.Isdropped=1
sw26a.Isdropped=1
sw27a.Isdropped=1
sw38a.Isdropped=1
sw39a.Isdropped=1
sw40a.Isdropped=1
sw49a.Isdropped=1
sw50a.Isdropped=1
sw52a.Isdropped=1
sw53a.Isdropped=1

The target behind you do not see because it is under the plastic, but when I hit the target in front, the target behind is down and you see the top.



I found two walls unnecessary
SZ29A5
SZ6

If you do not need to avoid using the support of the Gate.
Thanks
