Well I have really enjoyed playing this table!!

I finally hooked up my gamepad, and the results were a little better. (Over 151 million)

capture182_t.png

I had a great first ball that scored 98 mill!!

I am going to try this for one more day, and then get back to my working on tables. (It is kind of like torture not working on tables!!)

I think over 300 mill is not going to happen for me!! But I will keep trying!! Never surrender!!

This has really been a great break for me!!

Last time I took a break, was right after I completed all those VP9 NFL mods. I completed all teams before second week of football season last year. I then took a break until December (a good 2 months off), and I haven't had a break since then, until now.

When you are addicted to working on these tables, there aren't very many things that will take you away from what you love to do!!

I have tried movie weekends, friend get togethers, and nothing really seems to curb my appetite for working on these tables. My whole family is sick of hearing me talk about pinballs. lol I can't help it!! I am addicted!! I can make it about half way through movie, and then I need to start working on tables again!!

Does anybody else here have this problem / addiction?

 

Thanks again for allowing me to join in the fun this week!! This really is fun!! I may not have best score, but I put my all into trying to get best score!! And I will keep trying until the day is over!!

Have a great night everyone!!

Keep on Pinballin'

I love this thread.
Great way to test and bug fix releases.

And good on the authors that pop in with fixes.

Hope to get time to get back in again.

Big back catalogue to go through now.

Enjoy

Since Rothbauerw is the clear winner of this challenge I think we should let him choose the next table. Maybe we'll all get lucky and he'll continue his winning performance on the next one Thanks for all you do Roth!

I added a wall above target near the wooden chest because sometimes the ball remained stuck there

 

Hope it can help !

STAT and others, you can do it by yourself, waiting for Rothbauerw's next update, you just have to add a collidable wall as shown below

 

Show layers 4 and 7 only

 

Have a nice holiday, everyone, back in two weeks !

I'm away from my computer and won't be able to post another update this week. Thanks for the fix batch. You could also move the target back closer to the rubber. I moved it forward to try to fix another issue.

Have a few nice games today with two new personal highscores and the table runs good most of the times.

But I find another issue. The ball stucks left of the lane with the captive ball. He jumps from the left ramp on the lane.

OMG Joey! There now is no hope for me to win this week!!

Great score my friend!!

I had a couple games where I made it just under 150 million, but I was unable to pass that 150 million mark.

I am now going to at least take a couple days off per week, to compete in this weekly challenge every week!!

This really is alot of fun!!

I may not have best score, but it exciting trying to get the highest score!!

And if I hear that guy say "Focus" or "Concentrate" one more time!!!! TO THE MOON!!! LOL

 

Have a great night all!!

Carry on.

Looking forward to the next weeks challenge...

Due to some rl stuff I was not able to play much pinball during the last weeks, but finally I tried this fixed version of the table.  IT PLAYS GREAT, and also the magic wand ball release is working now - yeah.

Thank you rothbaurw and everyone involved for the fixes and improvements! And as this table was a long project, also thanks again to everyone who has worked on it before!

Ok...I played this table a lot earlier in the week. I saw the hand go across the table, but never saw a ball come out of it. What's the trick to get a ball?

when the hand moved across the table, shoot for the left ramp and the ball will go along the magic wand, now try to hit one of the two holes below by releasing the ball with the right flipper button.

Sorry, but if I recall the rules to this competition NO buy-ins are allowed.  You can get earned extra balls but you are not allowed to use the buy-in function.

 

Someone please correct me if I am mistaken.
