UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 16.10.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound.

- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table

- Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).

- Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.

- Some small script updates, like the Rolling sound and PlaySoundAt routines.

- Made the light inserts warmer.

- Added SSF sound commands.

Another great new one for me, thank you.

WOW, great job again JP! One question/remark - in previous version drop targets on the top were on, now they are off. Could you please check?

Grande abrazo desde Polonia!

I'll take a look.

UPDATE

 

4.0.1 Updated 18.10.2022

- Fixed top playfield droptargets not being visible.

 

That was my fault for doing last minute changes and not checking everything after that Thanks Wudek for telling about the error.

The sheer volume of tables you are updating is simply amazing JP!!

I have a little clue of how hard the work is with just uploading them, as I have just completed uploading 1,492 FP tables at Pinball Nirvana.

It is not easy!!

Keep up the great work!!

Hello everyone, everything good

 

a question about this table... when the game ends, shouldn't the ball or balls left in the holes be ejected for the next round?

 

because starting a new game the ball will already be in the hole

 

 

hugs

I'll guess we'll need to check Youtube for some videos.

If the ROM does not kick them out, then i would say No
It is a ROM table, so it dictates whether to kick them out or not.
If the ROM does not fire the kicker solenoids at game over then i guess it isnt meant to kick them out.

Balls in kickers pre game start

 

also note, no kicker ejects heard at game over

Hello all,

Balls have to stay there. Same as it works for Flight2k, FreeFall and others from those golden years.

I'm having a weird issue with 5.5.0 - when I launch the first ball, I almost always get it "locked" in kicker1.  Then when it gives me ball 2 and I launch it, ball 2 just rolls to the top, hits the top, and comes back down.  IT's as if the gate (5 I think) doesn't open again - so my ball is just trapped in the launch lane.

 

I just tried version 4.0 and I'm having the same issue.  It's very weird.  I tried a different rom and deleted the nvram.  Still same issue, my ball is more or less stuck in the plunger lane.  Just hits the top of the wall and rolls back down.

It has never happened to me, but I'll check the table in case there is something wrong.

Did you use the same .ini file for both versions? If so delete it and try without adjusting the POV, you may have a rogue Z scale setting.

[jpsalas]

I have only tested the table using a keyboard. I know you need to hit the ball hard to get the ball to the upper playfield. There is just a simple VUK made of one primitive, and the ball needs some speed to go up. That's all.

That was a great idea, but unfortunately not the issue I'm having.  I just deleted the .ini file and same problem.

Hmm, I'm pulling the plunger back and giving it a good wack.  So weird, the problem must be unique to me, but I have a fairly consistent setup with over 800 tables installed and haven't had that issue with those.  I'm going to keep trying!

[Abhcoide]

I updated the firmware in Pinscape to the October 2024 and then re-calibrated my plunger.  I can now get the ball to the playfield most the time - it must not be hitting the ball hard enough, which is strange because it was giving a good "knock" when it hit the back. 

[jpsalas]

As I said I have only tested the table with a keyboard. It is good that you got it working

[Roadblock]

Hi Abhcoide,

Sometimes the plunger physics need to be adjusted.

In the table editor select the plunger and adjust the Release Speed to 120 (or whatever works for your table).

Hope that helps.
