in addition to the "standard" keys (typically "1" to start game and "5" for coin), I've added "3" as another coin input and "4" for coin and auto-start game (like I recall the dime slots generally were) to simulate 3 coin slots
when game is not in progress, holding down left flipper for about 3-5 seconds will bring up the options menu. left flipper selects item, right flipper changes option.
I've also included shadows for the ball and flippers. If you want to turn them off look for these lines at the beginning of the script:
Const ShadowFlippersOn = true
Const ShadowBallOn = true
change to false if you want either of the shadows not showing on your tables

One of the first LM tables I had the pleasure of playing. Love it! Thanks, Jeff.

In this game, the vari-target should hold its position until the ball hits the saucer. This doesn't work. When you hit the vari-target multiple times, it goes down a little, and when you hit the 1000, it resets completely.

 

Fix:

 

Sub LeftVT_Hit(idx)
    Dim x
    Lnewpos=idx
    DOF 238, DOFPulse
    If ActiveBall.VelY <0 Then
        ActiveBall.VelY = ActiveBall.VelY * 0.915
If idx<LeftPosition_Vari then exit sub ' ADD THIS LINE
        PlaySound "fx_solenoidoff"
'        LeftVari(Loldpos).IsDropped = True
'        LeftVari(Lnewpos).IsDropped = False
        VariTargetP.TransX = -(LeftPosition_Vari*10)
        LeftPosition_Vari = idx +1
    End If
    Loldpos=Lnewpos
End Sub

 

Sub vt20_Hit()
DELETE THIS SUB OR COMMENT IT OUT
End Sub

Dear Loserman76, dear Hauntfreaks, dear GNance, dear JPSalas, dear Pinuck, dear Borgdog, dear Grizz and dear Arngrim

 

 

 

thank you for your wonderful recreation. We love the old EMs.

 

 

Sorry I have to mention one findings with this table:

 

 

- nudge shakes the table optically but the ball gets no hit - and stays stucked. (same as in "Batter Up" reported)

 

 

Thank you in advance for getting us a fix, or telling us how to do this by ourselves.

 

 

Sincerely Christian.

The nudging works for me, but the standard value of 2 is indeed a little weak. I always change the value for right and left nudging to 7 or 8. Try it.
