Thanks Hmueck for posting that tip, I was able to get the B2S backglass working great! One thing on the playfield though, when the cannon fires, I still see the original cannon ball flying across the screen under the flippers....does anyone know what part of the code handles this? Not a big deal but i would love to know how to change this.

Wow this looks incredable. Might be the table that finally pushes me to use 9.1.3. Id like to say excellent work as usual, but each table you do gets better and better ! Thanks.

That's the

CannonKicker.kick 45, 15

in the SolCannon routine. I left it inside at first, because i didn't check if the apron cannon does something that the B2S cannon doesn't. But after checking it looks like you can remove the kick command because they do the same.

Awesome! Thanks Hmueck!!!

has the outside loop/Orbit been fixed?

has the outside loop/Orbit been fixed?

Not yet no.

I tried adapting the above code (copying & pasting), but i still am getting "line code" errors.

Don't forget to copy the Cannon timer. Or create a new one with no checkmark in "Timer enabled" and Timer Interval 600.

Thanks! ...that's exactly what I was missing. I appreciate the help

If anyone wants to have some fun with the magnet on the left ramp, change the script to the following. It replicates a "weaker" magnet.

    ' Lock Magnet
    Set mLockMagnet = New cvpmMagnet
    With mLockMagnet
	    .InitMagnet LockMagnet, 35
	    .Solenoid = 5
	    .GrabCenter = .5
	    .Size = 220
	    .CreateEvents "mLockMagnet"
    End With

Here is a video of what i am talking about

Thanks everyone, I have the code & timer in and the table works, but I still see no animation of the backglass. Do you remove the existing cannon coed from JP's table

Sub SolCannon(Enabled)
If Enabled Then
Playsound "fx_Solenoid"
CannonKicker.kick 45, 15
End If
End Sub

Sub CannonTarget_Hit
CannonTarget.DestroyBall
vpmTimer.PulseSw 11
PlaySound "fx_Bell10"
CannonKicker.CreateBall.Image = "CannonBall"
End Sub

When exactly is the pinwheel supposed to spin during the game?
Is the cannon ball that fires across the apron supposed to be on the backglass? Sorry, but I have never seen a real CV.

[Aaron James]

It's suppose to shoot the cannon a lot during the game.
You can test this in the ROM operators menu under "tests"... Then "solenoids".

Cool I got it working now, Thanks a lot guys! One last question, the cannon is just barely visible at the bottom of the backglass and the speaker grill is missing entirely, is that the way the B2S BG is for this table or do I have something set wrong?

[Aaron James]

Here ya go, here's how it looks on mine
It sounds like you've got it right though...
*Some of the artwork automatically gets cut off unfortunetly because of the lack of the dmd...and only the speakers..one of the few pinball games like this.
I have a 3-screen cab, so i put my DMD on the 3rd screen, where it is on MOST pinballs. With a virtual pin, its, for me, just TOO flat on the playfield to see during game play.

Okay, seriously, it's time for people to pool their money and buy JP a virtual cab.

My thoughts exactly. Did you read my mind?
Noah, can you add a donate button to the forum?

mod it and upload it. JP wont mind.

What makes you think you know what bothers other people?
I already modded it for myself, which you are also free to do. I think the honor to upload the updated B2S version should go to rosve who created the B2S.

I can't speek for rosve on the matter, but last night in chat he menchened he wasn't doing much on FS tables anymore. He said he was looking forword to his next project another original real build.

Ask JP & rosve maybe they will let you upload your B2S mod..

Yep that's what mine looks like. I'm good then thanks again, everyone!

[Aaron James]

I'll upload a B2S mod of it if JP and Roger don't mind, or if hmueck doesn't...lol...I've never uploaded anything before, i'd like to maybe contribute to the community...but first we need to fix the loop around! It's the "top eddy switch" error that CaptainNeo is talking about.
I'm going to see if i can modify/add some coding in the script to get it working tonight.
What a beautiful table :

I encountered maybe a little bug...has anyone else had this happen to them? ...or am I just the lucky one...hehe

Assuming your running 9.13 right?

But it looks like the width of the ramp needs to be adjusted!

[Aaron James]

i'll scope it out...thanks for the tip.

[htamas]

I have the same slowdown like in the video above when the shot is not strong enough to leave the plunger area. This was definietly not like that in the previous versions, I'm not sure if it is intentional now or a bug.

Thanks to hmueck for all tips about getting the B2S working, and to Aaron for the weaker magnet idea. After a few mistakes while making the changes, finally everything appears to be working

That would be a deff. No!!! I'm sure I would remember that! Just wondering, has anyone ever died in your house?

[teppotee]

Could someone attach the working B2S script with all the changes mentioned in this thread? I can go through the script changes myself too when I have time but since many of you already seem to have it working it would be so much faster just to take the full script.

[mavritanos]

sorry for the second post! can somebody help me with the rom problem?? thank you
