Wow, I can't believe it. So many fantastic tables in the last days.

The gate on the right lane should be a two-way gate. I had to check on youtube first to see if I was mistaken on this. Beautiful recreation and I love the lower flippers. They look like red marble.

Yes, you are right, I'll fix that gate and I'll upload a revision

Updated to 1.0.1

Great table. I had this real machine in the past.

I found a small mistake.
In the backbox, d5 is overlapped with EMReel1. EMReel1 should be deleted.

 

with kind regards,

Wow! Awesome! I passed up on one of these earlier in the year, I regret it. It was in need of a playfield swap and I hear this is quite the beast to do one on so I will now instead enjoy yours Thank you!

Great - Thanks JP

Wicked table, plays very good, thanks a lot JP.

 

But the ball looks very pale and greyish in my cab. Importing a darker ball does not really help it seems there is some white lighting overlayed. Had this on some other tables, too.

Is there a way to turn off that effect?

[STAT]

JP, at Line32: Table1.ShowDT = true Then VarHidden = 1,

should be VarHidden = 0, the other should be = 1

 

Also i added all TextBoxes from Backdrop to Collection "aReels",

otherwise they are also on FS Screen.

 

But VarHidden Change is on your other Tables, like Big Game too ...

Doesnt matter, most of us know, what is to do here, esp. at FS Users

Well, that variable seems to be right to me. In FS mode I don't see any of the reels or the texts. The text boxes are not updated if the VarHidden=1. And the reels are shown in desktop mode and they are not shown in FS, where the vpinmame is visible. But if you use b2s then it may be different, since you want to hide both the reels and the vpinmame window. I guess the VarHidden is right like it is if you use a single screen, but it is not if you use b2s with its own scoring. But it is ok that you are able to fix it

[STAT]

Strange, i think it doesnt matter with/out direcbt2s ( yes i use it always - on Cab) ... just DT or not, and first i had all the Reels and "Game Over", "Hi Score" ... Text from DT View in my FS Screen ...

Is it just by me, Guys ?

 

And then, shoulnt it be VarHidden = 1 at both ?

OK, if you dont use directb2s and use FS, of course then not ( = 0 )

 

Best would be anything like: If Table1.showDT = false and B2SOn = false Then VarHidden = 0 Else VarHidden = 1

Just at SS Tables, not DMD - and only if you use Reels at DT

Nothing strange here Stat - I also, always run b2s + FS. Well, at least on my cab

[STAT]

"Double Strange" ... ok whatever, works now for me ...

I played a bunch last night, great game. I did get the little flipper between the bottom two flippers (Shield of the Gods) stuck in the up position once when I ran out of flips for it. I will playing around with that flipper after my first ball had drained and once it was stuck in the up position and I looked over at the plunger there was no ball there. So I don't know if something get messed up trying to eject the ball into the shooter lane or what happened but I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. Other than that it played pretty great.

It did have me wishing I had an addressable LED setup rather than a stand 5 flasher setup as there is a real opportunity to mimic the 21 lights for the Olympus Bonus.

 

Thanks jp, another awesome table!
