Yes, the next player can use all that the first player has achieved, it is how I have programmed the table. If one player lock 2 balls, the next player can lock one ball and get the multiball

Scarface is my favorite table for quite a while now, and is basically the only table I play currently (next to installing new tables and trying them out). 

 

It seems to builds up achievements even playing one player games. This table is only played by me and I would like to have a reset after each game to be sure nothing remains from a previous game. I now just exit the game and re-enter but it would be nice to have an easy permanent fix.

Any solution? Thanks

I checked the script and I think I found the location where I need to put the restart / re-initializing code. Line 1274. I was hoping for an easy good old basic option 'goto 10' but VB doesn't work like that. Calling a sub routine table1_init() that was already defined gave an error message (also tried table1_init(1) ) 

No luck. Definitely missing some basic scripting knowledge. Feel free to educate me

I think you have misunderstood something or I have forgot to reset something But, what doesn't reset after a new game? What I was talking about is that if there are, for example, 2 players playing a game and the first player locks a ball, then the second player can use that locked ball. But when the game is over everything should start from 0 again. So each new game starts you from the beginning, no need to stop VP and start it again, but if there is something that doesn't reset then just tell me and I'll fix it

I have noticed that the 'sell yeyo' lights were still burning after games and I also encountered that with the 'Bank mode'. 

I only saw the lights still burn at the start of a new game and did a reset. Not tested if the logic was also impacted. Now I just restart after every game to be sure my score is 'fair'

That's strange, I have never seen that happening. I guess I need to play the table a little more and see if those lights don't get reset. I have taken a look the code and they should do that.

The yeyo run should reset the lights when you loose the last multiball, and the bank should reset the lights when loosing the ball in play.

Strange indeed. Could there be differences between versions? I am not sure anymore what version I am using right now, but I am playing the FS version on a cabinet. 

Don't want you to spend time on something that might just be an incorrect version. I think I installed this one http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=7467  but it could also be the one in this post. 

I will download the version in this post to be sure we are checking the same table, try again and let you know in a week or so if this helped. The issue doesn't appear every game, so it needs some longer playtesting. I will then also check exactly when it happens to give you a better bug report. 

 

Thanks

Yes I am now pretty sure http://www.vpforums....showfile=7467  is the version that I am using. I will add this comment in the relevant thread. Maybe luvthatapex changed something in that version that can explain it. 

[TedB]

Hi JP, I did some more testing and now also compared your version and the b2s version. 

They both have something you can already spot easily. Hit the bank on the left, let the balls go and try again. You will see the bank light(s) are still on the next game you will play. 

I also noticed once the B went from off to on after hitting the skillshot (car) without hitting the B. That only happened once though, but just thought I should mention it. 

Hope this helps you finding some error and they will be all related so an easy fix. Of course please let me know if you need more playtesting. 

[jpsalas]

I'll take a look at the script, I'm sure I forgot to reset those lights.

[jpsalas]

To restart the BANK lights after the game is over you need to add InitBank at the end of the "Sub Initialize", like this

 

Sub Initialize   ' First Ball

...

...

    InitEvents
    InitEasterEgg
    InitBank
End Sub

 

I guess I forgot to add it

[TedB]

Thanks JP! I adjusted the script and indeed the lights reset after each game. I will do some more playtesting to see if there are more issues. 

[TedB]

Today one ball was stuck beneath the car 

It happened after a skillshot that ended exactly at the position of the 'valve'. Lost the ball and only after pressing the tilt a couple of times I saw it moving under the car. 

 

Not a big deal, I have played this game a lot and this never happened before but I thought I should mention it. 

Still not managed to add my name in the highscore list.. Came close once, but couldn't handle the pressure  

[coelbox]

are there also rom files for scarface?

Do you have a link for all the rom files.

Thanks

[htamas]

No ROM needed, it's an original table.

[TedB]

It took me a while but today I managed to beat a high score on the table - unfortunately resulted in a crash of the table. Line 1589 Variable is undefined "HighScoreFlashTimer".

Also - I am sure there are more bugs in the script especially when you start more than one mode and multiballs. Problem with identifying those bugs is that it is impossible during playing to keep an eye on everything.  Some examples of issues that recently happened: modes I finalized got unchecked / modes suddenly started / extra ball light still on after playing a game.

Hi when I start the table on my cabinet, the table is horizontal and not vertical.

How can I change it as I really would love to play this table...

Thx guys

[gtxjoe]

You need the desktop version of the table, not the FS (full screen cab) version
