Dan,

I don't know how to thank you.
Without you, the table wouldn't be possible.
I am eternally grateful to you for your help. Your tutorials are amazing. Really magic!! We can do anything with them.

You're the man!!!


Although I will make some improvements, adjustments, I will try to put your alphanumeric display and fix some small bugs that still appear, but overall it's working well.

Cheers to you, my friend!

I'm Trying to forget the first post cause I posted the table in a Wrong Url...

Tiltjlp:
I'm really impressed with this being a first table. Lots of fun, and quite a challenge. Of course I'd do a little better if it didn't have those pesky flippers, which always give me problems. Keep in mind that 95% of what I play is flipperless.

@ John: Thank you very much for your comments!


Itchigo:
I didn't send a picture before, the x is because I tried to put a picture on my signature but screwed it up. (Don't know how). Here's a picture of what happened.

@ Itchigo: Yes, I saw the problem. I tryed everything before... but I will try to correct it again in the next release.
Thanks Itchigo for the feedbacck!

Greetings!
Billy

I had a bug happen while playing lastnight billy. I think multiball caused it. The MIDWAY drop targets on the upper playfield, 3 of them stayed down forever. I was actually suppose to hit the blinking M in midway too but their was no target.

Very strange. I have no idea what happened. But it is possible to happen. I tested a hundred times and apparently I found only one small error that dont affect the game. Well, It may be one of those intermittent defects that I have found even in tables of great authors. But in any case I'm preparing an upgrade and I will do a general check up. I am adding a new display... now will be nice ...
BTW, The upperflipers defect shown in pic, sincerely I dont know why it happens. I believe because of overlapping images...

Thanks for the feedback, Sabbat!

If you need any help putting the alphanumeric display in let me know - you'll only be the 2nd person I know of using it & I'll be interested to see what (if anything) you have difficulty with, as I tried to design it for (almost) anyone to use.

Regards,
Dan.

[faralos]

Wow! great looking table for a first! Actually for any table that is one sweet looking PF. Lots of bust things happening. Hope it plays as well as it looks.i too am glad you stayed with this one and finished it, as I know the fun times you had trying to get it all working ok.

Thanks Dan!!

I've already started changing the text boxes. Then I will try to insert the priority messages. At first, everything is Ok!
But I'll have to change some variables cause they are the same that you used. if I get stuck I'll call you, ok?
Congratulations! Great script!








@ Faralos:
Hi Faralos! how are you?
Wow, I'm happy to have almost finished it. Fun times? For those who knew nothing about scripts...
I almost lost my hair trying to make the drain routine working ok.
Hope you enjoyed the final result.
Greetings!

Score Display is looking great!

[gordon]

Thanks for the table

[DedRok_V]

Will the scores be rotatable when converting to an FS?
This is a great game, well done.

[slam23]

Wow, great work! I like the layout and hope it plays like it looks! I'll fire up this one for sure. Had great fun playing the arcade back in the days, nice theme for a table.
Keep it up,
Slam23

[faralos]

yes it DOES play as well as it looks! some stuttering here and there but i think that's just my processor chugging along...nice sounds and events too! I like that 360° ramp they are a major bitch to get working properly, yet you did it! At times it is tough for me to see the ball at the back of the pin but again my eyesight sucks, so I can't blame you for that. nice displays you are putting in! Outstanding job for a first table (or any table for that matter!)!! now of course every table must be 'better' than this one, since there is always room for improvements! Can't wait for your next one...

[billyrjse]

@ DedRock_V: Thanks! Yes, Now it's easier to rotate things on the table. Thanks to the great Hizards Hat And The Great Bob!

@ Slam23: Thank you for the words! I’m glad that you like.

@ Faralos: Thank you very much, Faralos. Yes I am already looking for the next. But I know it will be a big challenge (and I'm not experienced with scripts). In the next one I have plans to recreate a Taito machine - Old ones with no ramps but great pinball machines. But I believe, using a Rom the things should be very different. How to trigger the Rom with scripts? That is the question. This original table was a good "laboratory" for me to have the first contact with scripts and thanks to you all I finished it.

[ynneBBenny]

Super impressive!!!
It almost looks like a recreation of a REAL table.
I see you are using the new transparency feature on the plastic ramps.
Can I make the suggestion to put some lighting highlights on the ramps so they look more realistic.
It's a work of art. 10/10
