Nice table. But there are a few problems.

The lights FOOT are not always correct lighted, wenn rollover.

The ball stucks on a few areas.

I think, extra-ball don't work.

 

And a sharper playfield will be fine.

 

But a good beginning. Thanks.

Thanks.

First let me say, I just rebuilt the playfield, didn't touch the script. And I'm not sure what the rules are...

As for the foot lights do you see that they cycle thru "foot" at the top down to "ball" at the bottom. I am not sure if they are supposed to be doing that, but that's what is happening. It did confuse me for a second. Is that what you are referring to?

Now extra ball, I have made the extra ball light come on, and I think I collected it. But like I said, I don't know the rules so I don't know if it came on at the right time.

I will look for the manual today and try to figure out the answers to these questions.

Lastly, where was the ball getting stuck?

 

Thanks for the input.

Hummm...

I have played quite a few games on this table and never had that problem. Is anyone else having this problem?

 

In general when I have that problem on a table I will turn off visibility on the apron and then play a game so I can see where the ball is getting stuck. You might try that.

*****update*****

I can't find the manual. If anyone has a copy of it, I would love to know what the dip switches are doing....

[user42]

So it looks to me like the extra ball light is coming on at the right time but it is awarding points, not balls. This most likely has to do with the dip switches but without the manual I don't know how to adjust it.

Yes, I do have the same problem. The Bull gets stuck at "Gate2". Looks like it doesn't fit through or that some wall is blocking it.

 

Dboyrecords' 1.1 version has the same problem, btw. At least for me.

Thanks for the report. I will look into it tonight.

I can't seem to reproduce this problem, it is working fine for me.

 

First off, are you sure you are using vp9? With physmod5 the ball will not eject.

 

If you are on vp9 and still having  a problem can you help trouble shoot this?

Just turn off visibility on the apron and see where the ball is getting stuck. Try to fix the problem and let us know what works.

Thanks in advance.

[fuzgi]

First the anwers: No,I'm not using physmod5. I tried the table with VP9.9 that came with the current big installer.

 

Of course I can help trouble shoot. I disabled visibility of the three apron parts and played again. The ball gets stuck at Gate2. I moved that Gate in X-direction a little and the Ball goes through. I think I moved it from 1681.5 to 1685. That was merely to verify that the gate and walls don't allign properly to let the ball through. I can't suggest a definitve fix for the problem that might lead to a new version, becuase it could screw up yours or anybody other's situation (It's working for you).

 

Hope that helps.

 

Edit: That it works for you, but not for me and some others may indicated that it's not the table that's wrong but some called scripts. Could it be that different sys80.vbs scripts result in different ballsizes? Just an idea.

Thank you.

Sound like if I make the gate a little bigger it should fix everyone's problem. I am working on an updated apron so I will fix the gate and upload an update tomorrow.

hello me again good news and bad, ball comes out excellent

bad news sometimes get stuck behind defense target on left 

if it does just nudge and it comes out

plays fine other than that

many thanks

So I stumbled across a tnt video of this game. This version is a lot of fun, but I’m running into the problem, where the ball will not always catch on the right and left kickers and drain down the side instead. Watching play videos, this doesn’t seem to happen in real life. What can I do to stop this? Is there a way to adjust their size? Also, did anyone ever figure out the dip switch to get the extra ball and not points in the top left?

May help with dip switch - Post 37
