Hello Stat!

Thank you for good work.

You are right, at the moment, the Match Number isnt at the B2s ... ok, i will think about to add it ...

Also cant find correct position on ipdb.org for Match Numbers ... and if there are some.

Hello Stat, i play desktop versions vith backglass...how i can rotate the post it for high score?

[STAT]

Apollo ... uh ok, first i am not the big fan of "matches" but of course, its part of the complete ( Apollo a.s.a.p. )

 

Postit rotate ... i dont know, only i use the tutorial from gtxjoe and its made for FS tables ...

i think its not easy to mod for DT, and i havent the time to check it, because i have more WIPs on my list ...

One trick is to write some script in _init() of the b2s.exe table that lights up all the matches :-) This of course assumes the matches in that table were somewhat correct.

 

You are right, at the moment, the Match Number isnt at the B2s ... ok, i will think about to add it ...

Also cant find correct position on ipdb.org for Match Numbers ... and if there are some.

I found a pic of the Straight Flush backglass with a shot from the reserve side.  I did not see any indications of where the numbers for match are located.  That does not mean that they are not there I just did not see them.  See the pic below:

 

 

Hope this helps.

Thanks, thats curious, the numbers 1 - 5 ( i have 3 only) should be the BIP ... but whats the 6 - 10 ?

Also BIP, when you get Extraballs ? I think, it is ... cool ...

Instead of showing "Extra Ball when Lit" on the backglass when the extra ball is gained the machine would "add a ball" which would advance the ball in play.  Maximum would be 10 balls.

Hello Stat,

i play pinball from  the age of 12, now i have 67.....so i can tell you exactly the rules

in the Straight flush, the number of balls to play is 5.. then you can win more balls till max 10.

So need code the balls from 5 to 1, and when you win a balls increase it on backglass.

I am happy to give my experience....

Greetings

What you can do then, after you get the add a ball routine properly done, is create this machine's twin - 3 Jokers - which is basically the same game except there is no awarding of replays.  When you reach score thresholds in the game instead of awarding a replay you would add a ball.  There is also no match involved as well.

 

To give you a little history:

 

There was a time when pinball was considered a game of chance instead of a game of skill.  Certain areas of the US - especially the state of New York - and other parts of the world prohibited the awarding of replays on a pinball machine.  To combat that the pinball companies had similar versions of the games - one that awarded replays and one that awarded only extra balls.  Or they would make their machines where the operator could change between add a ball and replay modes.  Thus the term "add a ball" was coined.

 

For more info on add a ball look at this page on the IPDB: http://www.ipdb.org/....php#Add-A-Ball

Yes, in Italy the  government made the same, only balls, not replays.....and all the pinballs before 1980 have 5 balls, after have only 3....

[STAT]

Ok, first release from Leon Spalding / and this FS, is a 3 Ball Script ... and i think, you get Extraballs ...

But B2S show only 1 to 3.

 

Always interesting Stories about Pinballmachines

 

I could mod it to Display up to 10, Balls 3/5 ... maybe ...

1.2b online: Line 41: change BallsperGame to 3 or 5 Balls
Ball Card on Apron auto change to 3/5
B2S displays now Balls 1 to 10 (Extraballs possible)
HiScorePostit auto load/save 3 or 5 Ball Games

 

I am curious, who reached up to 10 Balls
