Awesome.
Can't wait to try this out later.

Thanks for another great B2S table, soooo much better looking that the one before (old CF B2S). Plays just like a 70's table should.

Anybody have Wheel art for this table?

I was taking a break from VP, but I had to try this table. Excellent job! 5 stars. Nice stuff. Awesome! Rosve for president!

[Pintrepid]

STUPENDOUS, Rosve!!!

Another fabulous Arcade Classic table to add to the growing collection of FS B2S! Thanks, dude!

Thanks, Roger!

Awesome work, as usual.

[KEG]

Great job Rosve. Thanks for all that you do.

[OuchTilt]

Nice work Roger....

Yet another for my collection, thanks

Found a small bug, scored over 100,000 on my first go.
The 100,000 is not showing on your high score sticky note.
This problem also exists on your skyrocket table.

Thanks again.

Great updates/upgrades! This was never my favorite table but, it is now in rotation and quite enjoyable, that takes a lot!

I'm stuck on plugging in the PinWiz Controller code on this one though. We really have to chip in to purchase you one so you'd have the desire to ensure that functionality (and most likely tweaking it) while updating the tables and creating the awesome B2S.

The code to me looks like JP's Alpha Ramp Plunger setup but, I'm lost as to what lines to remove as it appears to be scattered throughout the code. When I just try to plop it in I get an error relating to the PRefresh. What I did was add a PR array since it looked like the animation went by PR1-PR11 and then changed the side to reflect that. I'm most5 likely completely off here because if it's not like the other tables I've converted, I'm completely lost (but getting there).

Any assistance (Todd ) would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Rosve! Great work and nice touch with the worn looking rule cards. You're the man

No, it is not the JP's plunger. It is rosve's plunger. I made it yesterday .

I'm not familiar with JP's plunger code or what is needed to add PinWiz support.

Gottcha, that explains why I couldn't find what I was used to. I guess I just need to figure out how to replace a plunger in full but, more importantly, how it ties in to the table.


Thanks again!

My plunger code works as follows,

When you push the plunger key the PRLight timer is started and the variable PRdir is set to 0 (pullback)

CODE

    If keycode = PlungerKey Then
        Plunger.PullBack
         PlaySound "SSPlungePull"
         PRdir=0
         PRLight.TimerInterval=60
         PRLight.TimerEnabled=true
    End If

The PRLight timer is cycling the ramps in the collection from 0 to 10 in the first section of the sub,

CODE

Sub PRLight_Timer()
   If PRdir=0 Then
      If PRpull<10 Then
         PLU(PRpull).WidthBottom = 0:PLU(PRpull).WidthTop = 0
         PRpull=PRpull+1
         PLU(PRpull).WidthBottom = 30:PLU(PRpull).WidthTop = 30
         PRLight.State=Abs(PRLight.State-1)
      End If
   Else
      If PRpull>0 Then
         PLU(PRpull).WidthBottom = 0:PLU(PRpull).WidthTop = 0
         PRpull=PRpull-3
         If PRpull<0 Then PRpull=0
         PLU(PRpull).WidthBottom = 30:PLU(PRpull).WidthTop = 30
         PRLight.State=Abs(PRLight.State-1)
      Else
         PRLight.TimerEnabled=false
      End If
   End If
End Sub

When the plunger key is released the PRdir is set to 1 (release) and the timer intervall is set faster,

CODE

    If keycode = PlungerKey Then
        Plunger.Fire
        PlaySound "SSPlungeRel"
        PRLight.TimerInterval=10
        PRdir=1
        If InPlunger=1 Then
           PlaySound "Shoot"
        End If
    End If

The PRLight timer is now reversing the ramps back to 0 again really fast in the second part of the PRLight Sub. then it stops the timer.

Alright, if you are interested, I have adapted a small part of JP's code to keep it in line with what you already have and inserted it into your code to allow for the analog plunger...

Just need to make some minor adjustments to the plunger in the editor first, namely:
Check Enable Mechanical Plunger box
Change Break Over Velocity from 30 to 20 (think this only effects analog plungers anyway)
Check Timer Enabled box
Change Timer Interval to 40

Then make the following changes to your script:
under the KeyDown Sub, change

CODE

If keycode = PlungerKey Then
Plunger.PullBack
PlaySound "SSPlungePull"
PRdir=0
PRLight.TimerInterval=60
PRLight.TimerEnabled=true
End If

...and you could always take a look at Noah's Pinball Wizard/Nanotech DIY plunger kit tutorial over here:

Updating tables to use the mechanical plunger

I have used it to update all of the tables in my cabinet.

Thanks gang! I really enjoy when the think-tank pulls it all together.

Rosve, your B2S iterations have been fantastic and the addition of the 3rd screen graphics really helps make the 3 screen cab pull together.
