Great work, Maybe a bug?
In two player mode, if 1 player locks two balls (or vise versa)and other player locks a ball. The machine searches for balls. Matrix is full, rather than picking one up from the matrix and putting one back into play like on the real machine.
Then you have to exit table and restart. Hopefully there is a fix for this.
I think i managed to fix this bug, it makes me crazy but i have to use a workaround for now.
When 1 player locks two balls and other player locks a ball (or vise versa) now one of the ball present on the matrix will be released over the table trought the ramp under of the matrix (and not picked up by the glove).
I have understood that in real pinball the magnet of the glove pick one ball up and release it over the table but this effect is a bit difficoult to be rendered.
For drunkeykong:
I have tried in two player mode and ball loocking work perfect i think:
if pl1 lock two ball and pl2 one ball during pl2 gameplay one ball is released over the table.
if pl1 lock his 3rd ball multiball start with the 3 ball over the matrix
if pl2 lock other 2 ball the multiball start with 2 ball over the matrix and one ball is shoot win the shooter lane.
Is this correct ?
Thats right, If two balls were locked by a player, and the 3rd matrix ball is locked by the other player, the glove would pick up the previous ball that was locked and place it back on the playfield. 3 ball multiball always starts in the matrix. The glove always removes the last ball previously placed in the matrix. So for each player there is only ever 2 balls in the matrix untill multball is officially starter by the player that locked 3 balls. JM is a 4 ball install machine but the 4th ball is in the trough for quick return on ball saves.
Great recreation, I owned the real machine for about two years, sold it last fall. I reget selling it graeat gameplay. Did you include midnight madness mode in the script? I'm going to check it out and see if it will work. It is in the original game rom.
Thanks for the update/fix. Fantastic work!
