This virtual pinball is eye candy like a hawt prom date!

I have the problem with the ball not going into the shooter lane when starting the game, can anyone offer a solution?

[faralos]

Woot!! Looking sharp! Thanx.


Edit: The only thing i don't like about this table (and nothing of your work fellas as it is beautiful) is the fact that the card targets are so boring when hit. Gottlieb did a great job on how they spin around, but I feel this would have been a better table if there was some play on the targets when you hit them somewhat.

cheers,
Maceman

ps... any plans on making a plasma version?

I think if you're going to mod a table but keep the theme (especially a movie theme), the music should be related to the movie somehow. Don't like the plasma bumpers too, since we never seen anything plasma related in the movie... but would probably look cool on the frankenstein table or Monster Bash . To each is own I guess.

Oh I almost forgot, thanks for the release Pinuck!

I think this table was made before music could be used in pins but I could be wrong
but most anyone with some coding knowledge can drop in a music file to play during the game
and I think the FP version has the cards that spin when hit as FP has that as one of its default pf toys

@tamoore:
The plunger placement?
Never heard from the few testers of any problems. There were problems that got fixed with the plunger animation code, but nothing that created any physical problems. Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes I've the same problem. I think the problem is only present for Pinball Wizard users.
On my cab the problem is present (it could be on the first; second or third ball).
In fact if I pull the plunger back, the ball come but if the plunger is not pulled the ball not coming.

I've not this problem on other table.

If you want, you can add me for testing with the digital plunger.
If other creator wants a tester with the pinball Wizard i'm OK.

Thanks a lot for this table

bundyboss, did you fix the plunger so it works with your pinball wizard? could you send me that file?

chas>>>>use the editor to widen the control points in the drain and ball release....then use the script window to correct the direction and strength.....

I've never tried to modifiy a table but I could try.
In fact we need just to pull back a little the plunger to solve the problem.

Actually I pull back manually the plunger to release the ball. If I forgot I need to launch another game .

I'll try to find a solution and come back to you.

Weird, the version on my pincab works fine with my Nanotech diy plunger kit - which is identical to the Pinball Wizard...

It seems it's depending the calibration of the plunger.
I've solved "the bug" by changing the Y plunger position from 1721 to 1741.

In fact I told a mistake I've a diy plunger kit too. You're right the hardware is the same.

In conclusion changing the Y position of the plunger is the good solution. Now all is working fine on all position of the plunger. Nothing change for the game.

Persons who have the same problems could test with this parameter?

Thanks alot mate worked for me.

[pinuck]

thanks JamieJC666 for confirming that.

I've just uploaded a new WS and a new FS (v.1.0.2 )

Hopefully this is the final version.
I believe that everything mentioned so far is fixed.

- The Maceman Htamas Bump - fixed that flipper return lane guide
- fixed plunger issues for some analogers who had a broken ball feed (thanks for the fix bundyboss)
- added some missing sounds on roto-target
- fixed a point on one of the plastic edges ramp that was AFU

Also, I forgot to thank the always helpful Popotte for giving me some background info on roto-targets when i started the project.
Wow, EM gottliebs seems to get a lotta love over there - serpiko, bundyboss, et l'autre J.P. - thanks again!
