Sounds good, thanks a ton.

I'm a couple hours ahead of you so I might be crashing soon.
I'll be sure to check first thing in the morning though if i don't see anything.

Can't thank you enough though

Super

It seems that VP 9.09 has messed up something with the kicker hole (it won't hit it anymore). I took a quick look at it and was not able to fix it (dropped the kicker from my wall at 15 height to none, and tried deleting the code for jumping the hole, also tried changing the size and strength of the magnet). If anyone has any ideas, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

JP said it was something to do with the timer on the kicker so maybe ask him

Triple Strike FS has been updated to 1.4.3

- Fixed a problem with 32-bit textures showing as transparent in VP9.10 (changed them to 24-bit)

- Kicker working again! (didn't work in 9.09)

Cheers Buzz

Sorry for the back to back updates.

Version 1.4.4 has new Layback view! Tell me what you think please. Thanks Cupid!

[Rawd]

Sorry again guys.

For now, I have reverted back to version 1.4.3

I was seeing some graphics glitches with the layback view, and I would like to get that perfected first.

[Sabbat]

I think its safe to say you could update this with the reflections now.I haven't come across any bugs or physics probs that we didn't already know about.

I'd like to update the WS with the backdrop it already has for now since Bob says its fine already and its pretty good for me but i'll wait for your command chief.

the flippers were too small in the old FS and the newer 1.43FS.
scaled up the flippers, mover them on the grid to get a fair gap then straightened the flippers rails so they are smooth.
the ball is now getting stuck just after the trigger in the inner lane on both sides.
the outer drain seems to be ok.
i think it was a rar file.
no folder.
i have the table and the scripts including the core script in the vp911FS table folder.
it plays good in 912 but the ball is getting stuck in the flipper inner lanes after the trigger.
suggestions

Flippers too small according to who? I feel they are perfectly scaled with the real machine. They were never changed from one version to another.

If you changed the flipper size, and 'straightened' the flipper rails... then maybe that is why the ball is getting stuck?

maybe the vertical table flippers are scaled ok.
when a table is rotated for FS on a WS the flippers shrink.

scaled up flippers and straightened rails to all or most of my FS tables.
used the editor to create an equal gap on the inner flipper and outer drain lanes.
general play is fine.
the ball passes fine on this table but the ball gets stuck at the trigger on the inner fliiper lane.
not complaining.
dunno why it does this.
this is the only table doing this.

if you want to, try and simulate this.
scale the flippers to length @140, endRadius 13-14.
left click on the L/R flipper.
use the the arrows on the keyboard to move them out and create a fair gap.
for the left flipper use the left arrow.
press left arrow about 10-15x to move it out.
then about maybe 10xup.
do the same to the other flipper to align them.
use editor grid on 10 to create an equal gap on the outer drain and inner flipper rails.
i use a spacing of 8lines or 8spaces.
then use the control points to do the rails so they are smooth to the flipper with flipper start angle 120/240 and end angle 65/295.
the rail spacing is fine.
the spacing is more than enough for the ball to pass through.
the outer drain is fine.
dunno why the ball gets stuck at the inner L/R trigger in the inner flipper lanes.

No they don't.

No they don't. >>>>>>>>>>>>>

when you have time try my suggestion and scale up the flippers to see if you can simulate the ball getting stuck in the L/R inner flipper lanes at the triggers.
spacing is fine.
its not getting stuck because of a narrow lanes.
if i nudge it will release sometimes but then it might tilt.
i dunno.
this is the only table doing this.

Sorry Chas. The flippers are the same size in the FS version as they are in the WS version.

Re-download the table, without your changes, and the ball will no longer get stuck.

the flippers are the same sixe in the editor settings.
when rotated for FS they are too small.
the rotation changes everything.

Chas, clearly in this case, Rawd has chosen not to take your advise so you should probably just leave it alone.

chas do you have your windows rotated also?
when you work in windows is your screen portrait or landscape?

can you post printscreen or photo of your screen, before and after fixing flippers?
