Hot Hand (Stern 1979) FS



Version: 1.1
Category: VP 9.x Cabinet Tables (FULL SCREEN)

Author(s): tamoore, destruk

Description:
Hot Hand pinball, Stern 1979.
New build using Destruk's VP8 VPM code.

Something cranky is going on with the magnets around the rollover pockets. Occasionally, a ball will hoover over the pocket without getting gobbled up by the kicker cup. Will release a new version to fix this once I figure it out.

I used a bunch of stuff I got from other tables. Sounds, code, graphics, etc. If you notice that I used something of yours, and you would like credit, just tell me and I'll post your name in the release thread.

1.1
*Fixed light positions. Thanks to bha19 for finding the error, and sast05 for finding figuring out what was wrong.
*Fixed the upper flipper rotation direction. Thanks to sast05 for the code improvements.
*Fixed the upper saucer scoring. Thanks to sast05 for the code improvements.
*I think I've eliminated the magnet weirdness. Thanks to Sabbat for giving me an idea on what might be wrong.


1.0
Initial Release.

Absolutely brilliant table - great quality images and plays really well too. Many thanks!

I increased the radius of the 10 uMagnetxxx triggers to 55 and the ball seem to 'spiral' into the hole a bit better - probably not the best setting. I also added a kicker eject sound effect to line 668 (playsound "Mysound"), as that was the only sound that seem to be lacking.

Excellent ball rolling sounds too.

Great table, very playable......thanks.

I think I've found a problem though.

No matter how good your shot is through the spinner,
the ball just bounces off the metal thing at the top (insert technical name here!)
So there's no way through the spinner to the top of the table.

Good work, thanks

How do I do 4:3 settings?

Huh.. I just tested this and hit it through the spinner to the top of the play field from both flippers... Unless I'm not understanding what you're saying, it seems to be working.....

Thanks tamoore, just tried this and love it I agree with the comments about the great physics! Yeah I had no problem with the spinner. Fun table!

You are understanding me correctly, it must be my poor play then.

In over 2 hours of play I couldn't hit it through there once....some strong shots through the spinner just kept bouncing back.

Maybe somebody else are getting the same results.

D'load WS mode and adjust X-scale to 1.That should do it.

[OuchTilt]

Thanks for the update, tables playing really well now.

Spinner shot to top of the table working well.

Great table, thanks

It's not just you.  My spinner shots also fail to make it through the one-way metal gate at the top as well.  You can see the gate start to open, but then it rejects the ball back down through the spinner lane.

 

Still a brilliant recreation though.

Wonderful table! Thank you. I adjusted bumpers (10) & flippers (8) to have more power and I gave the table more slope (7,6). These DIP SWs should be on to have most fun with this very nice game:

 

6,7,8,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,27,31

 

7=off -> 3 Balls | on -> 5 Balls

 

Greetings, Christian.
