Plays great guys!!...

Only thing (more of a question/comment)... What does the real table do when you hit a bumper or a slingshot or.... I think the bumpers should flash on/off GI Lighting when hit myself.
I tried finding a video, but all i could find was some stoopid video with a terrible FOV, someone doesn't know how to film is all i am sayin..gee wiz

Cheers,
Maceman

Nope. It seems actaully not uncommon either as a few Williams ones I know of around this era have the bumper lights triggered solely by the GI events. The ones I've recently looked at were this one, Sorcerer (during assessment for my MOD), and High Speed (personal MOD).

The video from PAPA.org confirms it, check it out here:

Gonna release a small update in a day or so with a minor plunger script enhancement... was curious if anyone had any issues/suggestions that haven't previously been shared before doing so.

Yes, can you worsen the graphics and mess up the ball flow? its a little too addictive as is, my wife is "concerned". great job everyone, this is a pearl, i love playing tables that i had zero expectations and they turn out to be gems.

Alright, table has been updated to v1.1.1

Changes include:
Rescripting of plunger for more consistent behavior when using an analog plunger
Removed non-default GI images from table file to reduce size, but have provided a link to download in the description if desired.

You did a great job on this game! Thank you for your time and trouble on this!

Thanks koadic! I'll take a look at the new plunger script. I always liked better the impulse plunger
And the table plays really nice too

No prob man, anything I can do to contribute I agree about the impulse plunger, much easier to tweak and more consistent. Just keep in mind that my code has been tweaked for use with the Mot-Ion kit with the 'real' plunger being used. Sometimes there seems to be extra friction on the shaft of the plunger that causes it to slow down, and a fast 40ms timer defeats the purpose (but needed for the animation), so the script modifies the timer in a way to make it 5 times longer allowing the release to be properly read by maintaining a reference point to 5 frames ago

I also have a 25 step (well, 26 really) animation included for the plunger instead of the basic 12 step one.

With the new method of changing the image instead of switching the ramp, it's really easy to do now. Images named p0-p25, grabbing the images based on plunger.position, aPlunger being the ramp for the images, all you need is

aPlunger.image="p" & Plunger.position

with no need to assign an array with all the different plunger images. Can do the same with a 12 step (13 with 0-12) animation. Just set a variable like

PlNewPos=INT(PlungerPosition/2)
if PlNewPos>12 Then PlNewPos = 12
aPlunger.image="p" & PlNewPos
