Thanks wrd1972 for a fantastic recreation of a game that until now has not captured my imagination. I now love playing it even though my scores are way below the big scorers here.

I cannot wait to play the real one when I next see it!

[Thalamus]

OMG Joey ...

[tcboogiedown]

cracked open a few and could only barely break 10 mil.

a peasant among gods.

 

i'm gonna go play on the steps

[gtxjoe]

Congrats to Joey and Bob! Nice scores! I am out of town. So will update posts later

Go ahead, TOM *cough* *cough* I mean Joey and pick a table

[wrd1972]

Everyone,

Any thing else you all would like to see tweaked on Funhouse? I am planning to release rev_e with the new upper flipper settings that I provided here several days ago. Please let me know ASAP. I would like to release it tonight.

 I like the play with the E Version, One question though. Are the slingshots that sensitive on the real table? I have never played one. I know I can adjust them to my liking but would like to keep it as close to the real table as possible.

I own the real table and I will gladly do a compare to see. Thanks for mentioning it.

OK, guys, sorry but TOM has to wait another week.

 

But we play another fantastic table: Diner (Williams 1990) 1.2 by flupper1

I'm just wondering if it is really that easy to trap on the right flipper from the kicker-hole. If you don't flip it will hit right flipper, left flipper - bounce off sling and come to almost perfect angle to cradle on the right flipper.

Congrats Joey to your amazing score.

 

OK let's play Diner.

 

Bon appétit

[wrd1972]

Thal,

Here is a diagram of the three common paths (on my real FH) of the ball once Rudy spits the ball out. It can be any of these at any time.

 

The only easy way to trap the ball is have it bounce off of the metal wall and then try to trap it with the right flipper. The problem is, the others balls are quickly heading toward the flippers area so trying to focus on the 1st ball, leaves the others likely to drain. Even I dont have an effective strategy for the first ball out. I typically have to play the three balls best as possible and once your down to two, you can employ strategy such as catching the balls on both flippers and concentrate on opening and hitting the trapdoor for the million plus scores.

 

In short, when three balls are on the table, its just chaos till one drains.

Oh, yes, that is sooooo correct.

 

Here is a PAPA-tutorial and you can see very good the real physics.

I think you've made a very good job.
 

The only thing for me is, the reducing of the elasticity of the left and right flipper.

As you see in the video, it's much easier to catch a ball, while it is not so much bouncing.

[wrd1972]

Joey,

Change elasticity for those two flippers to .75 and tell me what you think. Or tell me what you think works the best.

[BobAlbright]

   There's a really nice,new Wildman backglass for Diner--"over there"

[STAT]

Diner, lol, yes - nice, had soo much Games now, because i changed Wildmans directb2s AGAIN ( reduced Resolution, File is <10MB now, random smooth Single Guest Animations), Scores: 13M i think ... have seen: Clark got a BIG Score ...
Edit: Clark at 61M boah

Edit2: today 18.7M ...

I will test tomorrow.

I see now how clumsy I was in explaining where exactly I was talking about - sorry.

 

 

The reason for asking this is mostly, because non moving flippers could maybe tell us something about friction, elasticity etc.

[wrd1972]

Thal. I have done various tests with real flippers and imo, they provide more bounce than one might expect. It seems hard to find that magic balance with respect to elasticity. But this is something i keep researching. See what you think of the diner flipper physics and let me know.

You've just been too good. 10 played games and 9,9Mil only.
