Got balls stuck here after a particularly long 13 ball multiball. They just kept bouncing around down there.

I am impressed at how smooth this table plays with 13 balls on the table at the same time during multiball. Great job vidmouse!

The outerhole can't handle so many balls..

What I think happened was that instead of shooting them back into the upper left area where the 8 balls are kept, it kept on shooting them back into play, so when I drained my last one there were 13 balls down there, lol.

I wanted to see 13 balls in play, but on my cabinet this game is hard to start a ball in play. My Plunger was messed up and also saw many graphic glitches. Wish table could get a update, Please.

Sorry for your problems. I'll look into recreating the error and fixing it
in an update.

Thanks for the beta.

It seems like during 3 ball multiball, the table is not registering when balls drain. Happened every time to me. Then when you drain your last ball you can't plunge the next one. DMD gives you "mission locked" when you try.

I've been playing with this on my cab this week and think I found a similar problem...
seems like I can insert coins and select "regular play", then it just hangs like its constantly
trying to launch a ball, but no ball comes out. -- is this the error you got?

It does this on my cab and on my laptop with version 1.2.0. On my laptop I am able
to start it going, sort of, by nudging the table...?
My laptop plays correctly with version 1.3.0; will update my cab with it this weekend and see if it fixes the problem.

I tried spanner's beta on my desktop (non cab) but my desktop's too slow to run it... DMD stutters like crazy.
I will try to play around with this this weekend as well.

Here is a video of what I have do so far..

This is the Pinball I am working on at the moment ,redrawing the playingfield and adding new graphics to it..

Sorry about the quality of the video..upload a better one soon.

Its working fine now

I found out if you stretch the ball then it has launch problems...so DON'T STRETCH THE BALL GUYS..

Hard to play with one hand and videoing with the other..

Did you upload a new beta? Because I just tried the beta I have with the ball "not stretched" and it had the same problem at the completion of multiball.

No not yet but I will..

Had to start again cos if you look at the beta the digital countdown and arrow light below is not working ...

I made it a BETA so I can work on it and post a copy of it to you guys to play with so you don't have to wait years for it to be completed...
I will release a update for it today.. v131.1 BETA.

Each one I release will go up by one so...v131.0 BETA becomes v131.1 BETA.

This fixed what was going on in my version 120... good one mate!

[spanner]

And it depends on the pc you are using,my pinball layout is a p4 with geforce 6200 but in my laytop where i am editing it is a AMD Athlon II x2 - p320 with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 and it act different on both of them,its weird must be to do with the script and it was made for VP v8.

All most ready for the next update...

I found a cool HD video of Apollo 13 on you tube and taking some pics from it to help with the graphics.

If anyone want to help and take some shots from it that would be brill.

Pretty good! I like what you've done so far.
Do you have access to an actual table or are you just finding images?

[JAM0]

Yeah, nice job. I played it and for the most part it worked perfectly, including in 13 ball play. One time a ball appeared to get stuck right where the last ball in the ball reservoir (upper left of playfield) is held. Then my ball drained and the table thought I still had a ball, so I guess it got stuck.

I am just finding images from the net and editing them in Photoshop.

It happen to me too will be fixed in next version.
