'*  Bendigo - routines for rotating arrow target
'*  GNance - new high score routines
For this table, I am using my new method for enabling/disabling the dB2S backglass. By default the backglass is disabled. The easy way to enable it is this method:
1.Launch table and then exit. It will auto-create a file in the USER folder of VPinball named "LMEMTables.txt"
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" and save.
3.Next time you launch, the backglass will launch.
Or for the die hards out there, create a text file in the USER folder named LMEMTables.txt and put a "1" (no quotes) on the first line and save it.
 
Operator menu options are as follows:
"[" - open/close the operator menu
"6" - changes balls per game (3/5)
"7" - changes whether the 1-4 lights are reset each new ball or only at start of game
"8" - change replay settings
On the full screen version, pay attention to the apron to tell whether it is set for 3 or 5 ball play and which replay settings you have selected.
This table includes new high score routines (from GNance) that allow the table to keep track of the top 5 scores. If you get a high score, flippers change the letters and start key (default "1") enters that letter.

Another excellent table LM, Hauntfreaks and Zany! PinballShawn is right the ball speeds up nicely coming through those tracks after popping out of the outholes. I'm going to have fun getting the hang of this table.

Everytime I watched someone play it for the first time, they will immediately lose that first ball that hits the ramp. At first they get happy they finally hit the kickout hole, then ZING!... sadness.

   Thank you LM! Nice table. And I see you figured out how to implement your name in the HS post-it note. AND for 4 scores to be recorded. Great! Would be really cool if you could add that to your other tables as well!

Can someone help a New Cabinet builder?  In the script line 50 says: Dim B2SOn            'True/False if you want backglass

 

I have attempted to add True after B2SOn but that creates an error, I also attempted to add a line B2SOn=True but also an error.

 

I do not see any place in the script to set B2SOn = True

 

What am I missing? Thanks...

See note above on how to Launch Backglass

I installed it and played it a great deal today. It plays and feels EXACTLY like the original. Well done. Physics and ball weight are spot-on again.
