Thanks for the update. Have the ball drain issue posted above, but only when ball drains down the middle(not the outlanes). Table doesn't recognize the ball drain, goes into ball search mode, does not find it requiring a table restart. Posted this on the other site too.

[DCrosby]

Yeah I'll try and post a patch tomorrow, where I narrow the corridor, I don't know how it deals with concave collision, so I may just gut the bottom of the apron and use walls....

[robwaade]

a lot to figure out for sure having a lot of issues when ball drains where game cycles through places where ball might get stuck and ball is in with the other balls and it doesnt register for some reason

[DCrosby]

I didn't get to it this weekend I'll see if I can steal some time during the week

The sing again light comes on when you earn an extra ball. It also flashes at times as part of some of the in game light sequencing shows. There may be a ball save function, in the rom settings, but it's not a default.

 

I recall a lot of settings, and one that lets you enter a custom message into the rom. Mine said "VP version by Shockman" back in the day.

 

The balls work correctly, I'm sure. The Three ball multi ball starts with putting a ball in the plunger lane after triggered with two balls in the organ.

Allllllrighty then.... 

 

So I released version 0,97 and 32 Assassin of course put my skills to shame, he adjusted the ramps, and added a physical subway, so this one should be more predictable.

 

I fixed the Drain, so it should no longer miss. 

 

I also found the issue with the blinking pixels, and fixed that... 

 

So, Enjoy!

[Thalamus]

Great news. Thanks to both of you !

[robwaade]

thank you

[robwaade]

any fixes yet for 3 ball not working you guys did good job on visuals on table

[vogliadicane]

For finding unknown lamps or solenoids, Blacksad's dB2S, which lights up active lamps and solenoids is of very big help.

I'll look into that, maybe it'll let me know which switches are being triggered, and which are not reporting correctly.

[DCrosby]

The Switches being hit, as I recall, as I did this this morning, were 18 and another, all documented in the script, and 32Assasin did a great job with the new subways, the only thing I can try is to make it all physical, where the ball moves through the table like it really would, but something tells me it's not counting the number of balls in the subway, so it never gets the right number to eject back into play. Maybe I need to make a Dim/Variable to count the number that fall into the Organ, and then need to be re-ejected on a timer...

[robwaade]

can you ever go off the vp9 table scripts to figure out the issue

[Bladeof]

I dusted off the vp9 version I have of phantom, the 3 ball mulitball works fine in it. Table was done by rob046. It was an updated mod of Lord Hiryu table where the 3 ball did not work. Maybe this script might help. Here is link to the table https://www.vpforums...s&showfile=7579

Here is link to his vp9 FS table version https://www.vpforums...s&showfile=7578

[robbo43]

I've sent a fix over to DC which will hopefully sort out the three ball multiball issue. It's probably worth some of you guys testing it as it is really straight forward to implement.

 

Replace line 81 in the script with:

 

if bsSaucer.balls = 2 then

 

It's due to sw29 not being implemented in the table, and I'm pretty amateur at this so no matter how hard I tried I couldn't implement the missing switch and make the logic work with kicker1.

 

Anyway, hopefully that fixes it.

 

Cheers

 

Rob

[robwaade]

rob cool will try it

[robwaade]

fixed it though at times the skill shot lights dont light up after draining a ball when shooting and organ spits out ball at times the left ramp is the only exit for ball after going in organ if that helps out

[DCrosby]

The update is in, in the downloads over at the original Location, and I fixed the Bumper Lights, which were bugging me during match, as I get to see and fix more and more of my own bugs, I'm starting to get better at spotting them in code I wrote earlier... Like " What was I thinking ", so as I go on I'll keep patching things. 
 

Again big shout out to robbo43 He's been fantastic with helping sort these kinds of things out.
