It's another beautiful fun Spanish table. I also could not use the post it note, Also the high scores are reversed, where score 2 is higher than score 1 making score 5 actually the highest score. Thanks to all for gifting us with another rare piece of pinball history.

I have just tested the table, and I got a 1st hisghscore, and a 3rd and a 4th highscore (cheating, of course ), and I managed to write the initials. The post-it system is the same as Loserman use (made by GNance), I only changed the ramps for flashers, as they require less cpu and they don't cast extra shadows (the use of ramps comes from the VP9 era).

 

Posible errors:

- The User folder inside your Visual Pinball folder does not exist, or you don't have write acces to the folder. Give yourself write access to the folder (Windows folder security). This can happen if you have your Visual Pinball folder inside Program Files (x86).

- The bumper.txt file inside your User folder contains some wrong characters and the table can't write to it. Simply delete the bumper.txt file. Play again and see if the bumper.txt file is there. Open it in notepad and see that there are no blank lines. After playing one game it should looks like something like this (without a highscore):

 

0
0
500000
600000
700000
800000
900000
AAA
ZZZ
XXX
ABC
BBB

Well, there is kind of a bug with that high-score. Here, if I play a game between 500k and 600k, nothing happens. First when I managed to do a 900k+ game was I allowed to write my name. That is the #1 spot now. The odd thing is that 2nd place is 500k, 3rd 600k etc. So, something is turned upside down here.

 

Fun game though - took a while before I understood the bonus feature.

[jpsalas]

Thanks Thalamus! I didn't catch that error, because I had a working highscore already sorted! I actually wrote the default values in the wrong way in the script. But I have uploaded a fix

 

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Fixed the highscore

Thanks to both

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 11.9.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table

- Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.

- Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.

- Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.

- Made the light inserts warmer.
