That's great. It's a wonderful table. Thanks.

The fix was quite easy in this table, but it is a secret.... og well, here it goes...  After searching for solenoids and lights which turned on or off at the start or game over, I found that only one switch use to behave like that, the number 6 which is on at game over and off during the game.

But since there is only one ball then I simply check for if there is a ball on the table and then activate the flippers and if not then I deactivate them. It is the same I have been doing for the Gi lights which turn off when the ball drains. I the script I simply added a few lines to the UpdateGi sub  

In this table it is ok to do it since there is only one ball, and there are no initials to enter in case of a high-score. So I can get away with it, and then we get the fastest flippers we can get

 

But I'll make the update tomorrow, as I want to change a few colors here and there to make both tables look more closer to their originals, and I have to take new pictures... and just now it is bed time for me. I know, a little early in Europa, but I wake up early So the tables will be up in a few hours

UPDATE

 

1.0.2 Updated 23.05.2020

- Added "fastflippers"

- Fixed some lights not working

- Added original red top lane plastics and red bumpers with the new logo.

- changed rubbers to white (mostly to differentiate from the first CEB)

- changed flipper rubbers to red as in the original table.

 

The "fastflippers" didn't work 100% using the ball on the playfield as a reference point as they didn't turn off during a tilt. So I used that switch 6, which didn't work much better. I had to add extra code to the table to handle these "fastflippers". I also had to add some code as the Tilt didn't seem to disable the flippers as they do not operate anymore  from the solenoids. Now that I think off I could have added some more code to disable the bumpers and slingshots, oh well, just don't tilt

From what little I understand about pinball, now this table is already working well on the pc that I have a lot of thanks.

UPDATE

 

1.0.3 Updated 24.05.2020

Thanks to everyone for this table and backglass!

Great table so thanks for the hard work. I do have a question about the rom. Special does not seem to work for me. Let's take the bank shot for example. I knock  all the targets down and the blue light comes on. Once I hit that the targets reset and the special does not light ever. Is there a rom setting for this?

You just need to do it twice. The Special lamps lits opp and making COWBOY the second time it will give you Special (extra credit). I think next time it will take longer to lit up.

Thanks, but I am talking about the bank shot (2X, 3X,4X, 5X, special) and the one on the extra ball lane, do they ever light. I have gotten the cowboy special.

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 21.9.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- 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). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.

- Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.

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

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

- Made the light inserts warmer.

The three round-bumpers in the center aren't working. The ball just collides with them and nothing happens.

No issues with the bumpers. And, well, don't know if this LTD has "ekky" sound, but, if you've got a recent pinmame, Gaston added it; so, some should be improved. Wonder what Ekky is though

[jpsalas]

No problems either with the bumpers on my two computers. The table use simple plain VPX bumpers, nothing special there.

[wryker]

The other table plays fine - this one the 3 center round bumpers do nothing so there's something amiss. Going to d/l it again and see if that makes any difference.

Ok. Downloaded it again and now it's playing proper. Not sure what happened with the first one but it's working as it should!
