I have Norton too, but I have no problems. Try to change the firewall in the application control, and set the mm.exe and the rules.exe to a safe status. But my norton didn´t report anything at the first start. It says that the files are ok.

The Jackpot light for the catapult does not light. It is the only light that doesn't light in attract mode, and it doesn't light in game, even during catapult madness. Also, as billyrjse mentioned, isn't there a green light or something in the castle mote?

Other than these two very minor things, 1.1 seems to be playing perfectly. I have been playing mm quite a bit recently on my xbox360, I have to say that I much prefer this vp version. Thanks again and please forgive the nit-picking on your awesome creation.

ok i will check the lights to see if there is an error.

About the Moat Lights. I didn´t add them, cause I get glitch errors when i add the wall in that area. So i leaved it away. Just like the GI Lights. I didn´t add GI to my new tables, since VP have a nice solution for it without dropwalls. Its so much work to get them working without glitches.

Hi GRONI! Do you think you could make it so that the castle stays at it's ruined state in the animation for a little while after the explosion and then returns to normal at the point where the ball is going to get back into play like on the real table?

Yes, I thought about that too. I guess i will try to add these effect, and release it with the next update.

You are awesome GRONI! Thank you for your great work and thanks for the quick response!

ok, I checked the light, and I must say, I simply forgot to add the Light It´s added now, and after some other fixes, i will release the update.

Thanks for help Groni.

Fantastic table Groni!!! I noticed just one thing and it is extremely minor hardly worth mentioning but I figured I'd ask if you could put it in just to make it look that much closer to the real deal. Anyways on the Catapult there are the 5 wire rings on the wire catapult ramp which you have put in but at the bottom of the wired catapult ramp there should be 1 more(larger than the other 5) ring. See picture for what I mean. Again it is very minor and hardly worth mentioning but it will make it look even closer to the real table. Again thank you for the AWESOME release it is greatly appreciated.

Thank you so much Groni! It plays smoothly and it feels real!

[slam23]

Hi Groni,
I now have played a couple of games with your new 1.1 MM and I'm really impressed with it! Play is smooth, graphics are crisp and I love the little details like the trolls reacting to hits, the part of the wall that takes locks for multiball looks very realistic, the litte knight's masks that light up and the new bridge/gate animations are just smashing! The only thing I would change is the oblique correction, it could be me having too little experience with the table but I think the ramps (especially the dragon ramp) and orbits/catapult are too hard in comparison to hitting the castle/merlin/lock hole. I had one game where I destroyed all castles before I rescued the 2nd damsel. I haven't had time to experiment thoroughly with other settings but I think somewhere between 4 and 5,5 will yield more realistic results? I know you are a stickler for realistic gameplay, so I'm curious to know your view on this and any other player that has experience with the real life play of this table. Just aiming for the best experience!

Hey Guys

The Table has been updated to Version 1.2

Changes from 1.1 > 1.2

Added the Destroyed Effect to the Castle. After it´s destroyed, the castletowers stay in the destroyed position till the Ball gets released.

Thanks to JP for working this out for me!! You´re the best!!!

Added the sixth Ring to the Catapult

Fixed the Catapult Jackpot Light

Enhanced the quality of the Castledoor. I removed green particles, and sharped the images. Looks much better now.

Have Fun with 1.2

Thanks for the update.

[bolt]

Thank you for the new update, your table is the best

[GRONI]

Thanks Bolt! I really try to do my best, to make the tables as close as possible to the real thing.
It´s good to know that much people like my tables, and appreciate the work behind it.
I hope LOTR will be a Christmas Present. I will have lots of work in December in my Job, and I will
also merry at 12.12. so this things need attention in first case.

But my wife is cool, and she loves LOTR too, so maybe it will work

Thanks again to all People including you, that supporting me.

Thank you so much for the update GRONI! I agree with Bolt! You continue to raise the bar with every VP table you create! You are very skilled and I really appreciate that you are sharing your beautiful creations with the rest of us!

A quick repeat question: everybody's fine with the flipper settings? Just curious, maybe I've grown to accustomed to easy settings on other tables?

I like the flipper settings, it is a little difficult to shot the right outlane.

In my last game, i played round about 1 hour, i got in my last ball a bug. The ball stops in the damselramp roundlane and i must "TILT" the Ball (damnet ).


Now after approx. 1 Hour fantastic gameplay i will say: THE TABLE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST TABLE EVER"

Grand Champion: AS 452.371.060

Castle Champion: AS 10, Joust Champion: AS 12, Catapult Champion: AS 7

Peasant Champion: AS 10, Damsel Champion: AS 8, Troll Champion: AS 25

Madness Champion: AS 22.325.000

DAMNIT!! You´re a scoring Junky

Great Score. I thought I am good with my 285.000.000

Seems like I have to train a bit more

But it seems like, that the Ballstuck Problem on the Damselramp is still there

I think I will add an trigger to that critical point ( right before the dragonwing right?? ) that pushes the ball
forward.

So there will be another update soon

About the Flippers ( Slam23 )

They are adjusted to the real Machine, but you have to find a good middleway.
I can make each shot easy to manage, but other things will not work anymore, or not that good.
For example the Flipover between the Flippers. So I think the Values are not to easy ( rampshots ) and not too
hard ( Castleshots ), but every function including the Flipover is given.

But If you don´t like them...hey...change the Values for yourself

I´m glad that all of you like the table. Maybe a Nominee for the Table of the Year

Thanks to all

Groni, this table was simply wonderful!! One of the best!!! You are fantastic in the construction of tables. I like and prefer your table physics. Your MM is greeeeat!!! Since you want to release another version of MM... I would like to ask you a favor, if possible ,to turn on the green light of the lake in front the castle when hit. The effect of light reflected in the castle provides a beautiful visual. It can be seen on the VIDEO 2 and 4 released by Vati1. If it is complicated to implement or make the table more heavy or if you simply don't want turn it on, ok. Then, please forget my request ... I will understand
Thank you!!

By the way, beautiful high scores ... I'll just try to break them!
Greetings!
