Marvelous work Tab. It looks like a tricky table to create, all those ramps and hidden walls to keep the proportions right. Plays very well, and looks great.

Was back playing this great table tonight. It seems that sometimes when the 3 ball multiball engages only two balls are released. The third ball remains in the lock which causes the game to not continue after the other two drain.

I exited and reloaded and had the same lock problem in three games out of six. I'm not positive but I think the third ball is hitting the second before it clears and gets knocked back into the lock.

I do enjoy how this game plays like a cousin to 'Black Knight'. Nice tight flow Tab.

Try to set in line 112 the ExitForce from 25 to 15.

Tab I have the myself problem that humid.


Cheers

The lower force doesn't work for you?

[destruk]

No TAB, the force won't make a difference. It's an issue with the table layout, not the scripting.

The trouble is the shape of the lock kickout. The rom kicks out two balls at the same time and then releases ball 3 from the saucer - which falls into the empty lock and gets kicked into play.
The original two locked balls are supposed to enter play at the same time - from one activation of the visible lock. Trouble is that the kicked balls are either hitting wall118 or wall50 - which causes one ball to enter play and the second to fall back into the lock, and sometimes both come out as they are supposed to. Basically reshaping those walls will fix it just fine, and changing wall48 will make for a smoother exit. I'll upload a newer version shortly so you don't need to deal with it.

--edit-- updated to 1.1 - thanks for the bug report Humid.

[bolt]

Thanks destruk and TAB for the new update.

[humid]

Thanks for finding a solution to this small glitch Destruk. Glad you were able to save TAB from searching for an answer, he always has so much on his plate.

[destruk]

You're welcome. This game could use some more work, just we're both really busy on our other projects. I needed a break from mine today so I could spend it on this issue. TAB is still working very hard on those Geiger games.
