I’ve spent quite a lot of time playing this improved version of KK. I must agree with Lukpcn that the multiball ramp is a tad too steep. I’ve made the shot many times, but also had many times where the ball would get almost over the top, but then drain right down the center

increase flipper power a bit ??

[cyberpez]

Yeah I've felt like it's a physics thing... I didn't mess with what's there much at all. To get the missel launch and black ramp both working the metal ramp had to be pretty steep. The missel launcher is pretty close to the right height (from eyeballing pics). If the steep ramp is much lower the ball gets stuck on the black ramp (it hits the wire ramp coming down). Not a lot of wiggle room.... I'd say mess with flipper or the collidable rapms physics a bit.

thanks javier

I tried to smooth the collidable metal ramp out a little bit...(around the bend).  In a quick game or two I hit the ramp 4 times, and made the shot 2 of those.  One was obviously not going to make it around the corner...  so might be better?  Give this one a try..  Find "pMetalRampCol" and re-import the linked obj..  check the "place at mesh's absolute position ........"  Give it a few games and report back if its any better...  I still think some physic tweaks might help though ;-)

@cyberpez : I've tried your re-import method and here I often now see that the ball jumps off the ramp and ends up coming down the "Jackpot during multiball" ramp instead. I'll try to adjust the ramp friction or the flippers a tiny bit and see if that resolves it.

Thanks for testing!!!  Hmm, now I see that too...    ....  Try this ramp version along with these flipper physics. (copied from tmnt, because why not?)  with this ramp and these setting I hit the ramp 10 times, and made the shot 9 of them, no ball launched off onto the jackpot ramp.

    Sounds like you got it fixed---looking forward to an update!

This is a very crude fix to the previous suggested solution (not the latest ramp ). I had some balls getting stuck in the lower left bumper as well. All just ugly hacks in order to see if it now works. My play testing says it does. Not tried CP' fix yet. If case his isn't working. Give this one a shot.

I hope so, but thought I had it fixed before too...  only more testing will tell forsure ;-)  *wink wink nudge nudge*

Just tried it on the crude wall fix version I made and it plays great now CP !

New primitive left ramp for a better shot and Thalamus added walls so that the ball does not escape from the sides.

The size of some images was reduced for an improvement in performance.

[rtkiii]

my flippers seem to not respond from time to time on this table...suggestions?

[Thalamus]

Yes. Wait for Cyperpez release

[rtkiii]

Yes. Wait for Cyperpez release

 

LOL..no idea what you are talking about   hahahaha

[Thalamus]

Well, it is a WIP that is in progress and it is the ultimate KK. Cyperpez should already be known for a lot of options. I've told him a few times that this was ridiculous trying to mach all the prototypes in one VPX. I've been lucky enough to learn from him, seeing the progress and I believe we even found the lost millions banana switch. Awaiting his feedback on that. And the best thing about it - yes, it is a crazy idea. I actually believe that he is going to pull it off.

I can't wait to try this new version.

 

As it is rtkiii, check to see your backglass is set to .exe mode.
