I wouldn't say you did anything wrong, you just missed two extra segments in the digit. The ones that are used for the number 1 aren't accounted for in your code.

It reminds me of problems when I create a UVP backglass and forget to check if the display I'm recreating has the correct number of segments. If I use a 7 segment display, but the real display is a 9 segment, weird things start to happen.

To get the table displays working properly, I re-introduced Pac-Dudes "Case" logic:

Very good, Thank you!
Will put in script tonight!

Alright, i updated the files last night! LEDS are fixed!
also had some grafx changes and physics changes!
Enjoy

Well, the 1's show up now, but they're still in the wrong place. It's this type of attention deficit disorder that is all too common these days. Once again, here is a picture of the backglass.

And the 1 would be bumped slightly to the left for the two vertical middle segments.

Well can u fix it then ?
i just pasted in the above code from sast ?
can u fix and post the script fix then
when i played it..it seemed fine to me ?

You need a new emreel image if you want to continue using reels. Your image doesn't have the required segments.

Well, what do you think? The score displays don't look like the real thing to you do they? Listen, it works, who cares what it looks like...oh wait, you used emreels so you made an attempt at making it look realistic anyway.

Hey griz, Use this reel and it should be politically correct now.

I was actually saying really to your remark about attention disorders, sorry that not all of us are as smart as you.

I am super surprised too that YOU in particular are complaining about what it looks like, oh master of coding and ugly tables.

Everyone has to be good at something. I can take a few guesses on what your claim to fame is, but it's rather obvious by now.

Please tell me. I want to know. What is so obvious??? oh mighty great one.


edit: truth is I was only trying to defend Grizz and his FIRST table release.

Not only is it politically correct, it now looks like a real Gottlieb machine! Thanks. If you continue to care, the game also has comma segments on the displays.
I posted before the table looks and plays great - most likely in the other FS thread. Just I think it's stupid to go all out redrawing plastics, the playfield, putting in a custom plunger, and go to all the effort with physics adjustments only to screw up on the score displays. It looks better now than it did.

Congratulations on your first table(s).

The difference between a good table & a great table is in the details.
Your table(s) is (are) becoming (a) great table(s).

I wasn't being smart, and I understand making the games as accurate as possible. I didn't look at the displays for this as I didn't build it. I just used a led reel I had on hand. I found the other one that is more correct for a gottleib display. I'm in the middle of a 75 hour work week, when I have a moment I will attach a reel with the commas added, I didn't have one on hand and just attached one that was closer to the original
