Is there a way to turn off the new plunger feature. We have a auto plunger in the Playboy table that keeps going backwards and forwards while you are playing. I gather this is because of the new digital plunger feature?

 

Thank you guys for starting this great beta release.

Ciao e grazie per il lavoro fantastico :-)

I was wondering for years why setting the friction of walls does not do much, at least I see no big difference if I set friction to 0.3, 0.7 or 1.0. Even friction 1.0 does not have much influence on a ball rolling down the inlanes, it's not getting slower with higher friction. I wish there could be done something about that.

 

Change the curve points of the wall to not be `smooth`.

Up to you how drastic you want it but use fake curved wall as visual. I do it in most places as it tames that spin which friction variables don't touch.

 

This does not help at the inlanes in any way...

Thank you for your continuous effort to make VP more better
Appears to load Games faster
Never loads the back glass
The editor Always loads full screen

Ok, it doesn't.

@fuzzel Can we not rename the layers?

[fuzzel]

You can rename the layers. Slowly double click the layer name like you would do that I the windows explorer let you edit the name.

[chepas]

Oh yeah, takes a little practice, thanks. Habit of trying an F2 here but assigned to SoundMan.

[fuzzel]

Yeah I know. If I find the time I can add a context menu and add this option to it.

[TerryRed]

Excellent work as always guys!

 

The new sound and layers features alone are huge deals, and are VERY much appreciated!

[chepas]

All good, it doesn't take long to get used to, nice job. It's going to save time having organized named layers with the filter.

Thank you very much for the work on properly integrating music in the sound manager. This is a big improvement as an original table creator.

Please report any differences you can find to the .WAVs being played then 

If you add any script based physics changes - please only optional.

Of course, everything else will break existing tables.

B2S does not appear ?

very weird, anybody else seeing this?

It's just the new default. One can change it to the old behavior in the key/etc preferences.

Or do you need it per script/table?

Always loads full screen

You mean exclusive fullscreen or just never in windowed mode?

[unclewilly]

Sweet

[Halen]

Here too: B2S does not appear,

Do you have a simple repro table, maybe, please? (like multiple inlanes with different friction params, where on each a ball runs down at the exact same time)

Yes - Never loads the back glass B2S back glass serve

Sorry - The editor Always loads full screen

[Thalamus]

Yes. The editor seems to always start  maximized full screen on first display. Un maximizing it - moving it to my backglass and exit. It will start back on full screen - first display. My pref. is windowed mode. No issues playing Frankenstein with working dmd and b2s.

 

Same behavious in 4009.

My goodness! What a start! Thanks a million! Coming from a CAD system the layers were a pain! This one is really nice! Hat's off to the devs! 

[kyrexx]

Me too, B2S does not appear.

I think its great for the default plunger, but for a autoplunger, I think it should just fire at 100%, don't you think? We are talking about a solenoid fired plunger (no interaction from the player). Perhaps, if the property is set to "Autoplunger" the backward/forward action should be disabled. I had to make the plunger invisible as a workaround right now, because you could see it going constantly while it was in waiting to fire (waiting for the solenoid to fire that is). Then I'm worried that it is not going to fire at 100% when the solenoid does fire it. I hope I am clear in explaining this. I don't want to disable the nice default action for the normal plunger, I just want to be able to disable it for the autoplunger.

Take any table and change the inlanes friction. You will see no difference, wether it’s 0,1 or 1,0.
