About the tilt: it was working the last time I checked, so I must have changed something in the script, I'll take a look at it

Actually I had not any plans to make other EM tables, but I can add those tables to my endless list And if I find nice pictures I can make them sometime in the future

As usual another awesome recreation!

[EalaDubhSidhe]

I'm pretty positive that each 1-2-3-4 must be done in sequential order to make it more difficult. This being a single-player Gottlieb wedgehead, all the lights on the real machine will hold after each ball, until that Special is scored. If they were intended not to, the designers would have made it a four-player System 1 machine instead (System 1 was the only PCB from the four major manufacturers that didn't incorporate any memory-holdover capability between players).

The kicker hole will be on a three-way system that toggles with each 10-point switch hit (which is normally how it's done), to keep track with the status of each 1-2-3-4 in turn. So completing one 1-2-3-4 make the hole light after every third switch; completing two makes it light two times out of three. Based on the behaviour of other Gottliebs, Specials will not reset the 1-2-3-4 and 5000 when lit lights until that ball drains.

I think Eala is right. The numbers should go in order. Though really who am I to know, I am only agreeing because I shouldn't have broken the score counter on my 2nd play, Looped the numbers, not sure what the right term is for that, but I made the numbers go back to 0 and start counting again. It should't of been that easy on just my 2nd play.

Thanks Eala! I knew someone knew how those Gottlieb worked.
I can change the script if nobody is against it. Both humid and I tried different combination and at the end I took the decision to turn off the lights after each ball, if not the scores went too high.

Anyone working on FS version?

[Rawd]

Anyone working on FS version?

I would love to see this in FS, but where would the reels go? Maybe on the apron, or above the table...

I wouldn't even mind digital scoring on the backglass. Is there any way to tie a default rom into the table to give a pinmame score display? (I don't know much about how that works)

[moogster66]

I got the playfield rotated and centered, but the reels are the problem. I am not that good with the editor. Can the reels be rotated? Bob has made a few of theses types of tables, maybe he has some suggestions. EDIT: I found one way around the reel problem. I replaced the horizontal number image with vertical numbers. The reel is now working vertically.

Amazing work of art! Thanks JP!

JP, concerning the "tilt" issue, I mentioned earlier, the problem seemed to go away when I changed "If NOT Tilted then" to "If Tilted = 0 then" in the following subroutine:

'*****************
' Scores AND Bonus
'*****************

Sub AddScore(sumtoadd)
If Tilted = 0 then
Score = Score + sumtoadd
ScoreBox.AddValue sumtoadd

If BumperHits = MaxBumperHits Then
BumperHits = 0
SetLamp 38, 1 'turn on special light
End If
If Score > 100000 Then
Box100t.text = "100.000"
End If
Select Case sumtoadd
Case 10:PlaySound "10"
Case 100:PlaySound "100"
Case 500:ChimesPause = 13
Case 5000:Chimes2Pause = 6
End Select

CheckSpecials
End If
End Sub

I don't know why your original NOT command did not working properly in the script. Maybe you have an explanation.

[jpsalas]

I don't know why it didn't work. Maybe a different version of windows with some changes in the vbscript? But I'll change that line just to be sure it works.

JP, thank you for the table. I never really got into the EM tables (I like all the crazy sound effects), but I like this table a lot. Mostly, I just love the artwork on this table. I don't know where you got such a good source. But you did an outstanding job with the lighting; I sometimes just like to stare at the table for a while.

Thanks again.
