Wow, JP. I love 80s Gottliebs. What a treat!

Hi, thanks for the table. I have a problem: DMD doesn't show. I tried to open the script ( and change hidden=1 -> =0) but the window just blink and script doesn't open. Any idea on how to fix?

PS: I had the same problem with class of 1812 yesterday.

Today I tried to modify random tables script, and none opened. So it's not specific to this table, but I can't remember what I did to break the script view.

Which version of VPX and VPinMAME do you use ?

 

It's very strange, I didn't know there was a VPX version of "Class of 1812"

JP, maybe you can use this for your Future Projects,

if B2SOn = true then VarHidden = 1 'also Hidden 1 for Cab Users / this after the first VarHidden Check

 

Thanks for the Lady,now i Play some

Ohh man, thanks JP ! Nice playing table, another great one ! (still stunningly small filesize   , how do you do it ?!)

[vanlocke]

Allright, i solve my problem: my script view was minimized and I didn't noticed, restaured it to normal size and made the change, everything 's ok now.

I did not know this table at all. What a gem!

I like the typical Gottlieb background sound from this era.

Thanks a lot

A very small finding, maybe you want to look at when updating something else anyway:

When the ball drains through the right outlane and rolls along the wall, the wall acts like a rubber and stops the ball almost completely.

Enjoying this. When I make a shot on the ramp next to the big ramp in the upper left, I get a Line 241 (null) error.

Mmm, I can't reproduce that error. There is a lot of space there. I guess you haven't changed the ball size?

I'll take a look. I guess you mean the loop at the side of the ramp. That line is the left spinner. I guess the spinners should not use the "Activeball" since the spinners may still rotate while the ball drains, and then... error since there is no more an active ball I'll fix that.

Have you had Italian lately?

Wondered if 54 be a 64 on that line? When I changed out of curiosity the error went away. Seems like value on those paired lines match.

Also, I'm getting same Outlane ball drag when the ball is against the drain wall. Both sides.

I see the error now. The Apron is only 50 units high, and it should be higher, if not the ball hits it. I thought I fixed that last week. Well, that happens when VPX crashes amd you forget what you were doing, hahaha.

The left spinner is switch 54, and the right spinner is switch 64. And I already wrote what was wrong, it is a script error that has to do with the activeball. It is the same why you can't use that ActiveBall variable when hitting a kicker which destroys the ball. You'll get also the same error. Believe me, I have been doing this for a long time

i re-read your explanation and realized your explanation made sense in my occurrences. And apologies. I realized it was like asking Einstein if maybe its E=mc3

[jpsalas]

UPDATE 1.0.1

- fixed a possible error in the spinners script
- added check for B2SON to turn off the vpinmame window.
- Fixed the apron being too low and it could stop the ball, or reduce its speed.

[The Loafer]

Thanks for the release JP, and your usual swiftness is fixing any issues. You are awesome sir!

[Mark70]
