Albert supplemented his enrichment with:

The „Kicker Hole Lights“ are now changing in the correct sequence (triggered by various playfield elements): Two are lit with four unlit lights in-between; changing anticlockwise.
After the drain bonus is given, the bonus lights will sequentially unlit.
Bumper lights now alternating, with a scoring of 10 or 100.
Plastics: New picture of the girl in the upper right corner.
Saucers now with animated kickarms.
Mushroom bumpers are now animated.
Post now with an appropriate picture via primitive.
Two rubbers (Rubber50 and Rubber100) now with scoring.
Extra Ball error fixed.
Plastic lights now translucent.
Sound effects changes.
There is also a sub (Sub licht_Timer) for five blinking lamps in your backglass. If you want to use this, you have to modify your backglass.
Thanks to Kees for making all this possible in the first place.
 
My view on Monte Carlo:
When I worked while school vacation at an amusement operating company (late 70's) they owned one in a cheap family restaurant. The machine was completely (including the BG box) covered with carpet inside in order to reduce the mechanical sounds of the game. And - in fact - I never heard again such a silent EM. Here I offer you (with kindly given permission by -=Kees=- and Albert) "my" Version of this game.
 
my changes were:

- many sound & sound events (gate clicks)
- all indicator and bumper lights
- slight corrections on all lights to realize the "bulb" effects at indicator lights 
- sequencing for alternator lights now in line with the real game, as visible on YouTube
- added few lights under plastics, not original, but looking good
- missing screws are supplemented (plastic at top right & bumper caps)
- new game physics
- new POV for cab users
- side lanes now with mini posts in order to look good and to reduce ball losts
- delayed new ball release, now the bonus counts to its end before the reel illumination changes
Two problems I was not able to solve, 1st the "wires" around the gates at the top of playfield, has anyone of you an idea how to solve that? And 2nd the missing transparent plate over the center kicker hole, here my skills are the limit, can anyone help?
 
Enough words, enjoy!

[Mustang1961]

Hi batch, I regret that. Please try to comment out the respektive line, I had many time success with this simple method ... (not on this game, but at small few others)

 

Are you playing cab or DT?

Thanks Mustang, VERY nice table!   

How did you get the displays to show up? I get the table surrounded by black. Really nice backdrop too!

I'm a DT user

 

It doesn't work even if I comment the line

This table will not work without B2S enabled.

For Desktop users who want the DT reels to show, go to Line 71 and you will see this...

 

Object.Visible = 0

 

change 0 to 1 so it looks like this...

 

Object.Visible = 1

 

Now you can see the scoring reels in DT mode.

 

There is no DT backdrop image included in table so it is blank black, so you will need to get it from another Monte Carlo table that has one in the image manager.

You can export it from image manager, and import into this table.

 

Great job Mustang1961 and all who had previous helping hands!!

[mcgrumet]

I got it to work without B2S.

 

Line 71 fix from above.....Thanks

Comment out lines 1581-1590 & 1551

Also adjust pull speed on plunger from 0.1 to 0.4. Seemed sluggish at 0.1

hi how to i change to 3 ball play   thanks

[Mustang1961]

go to line 1038:

 

if ballinplay>5 then

 

change the "5" with a "3" and you are done.

[Rajo Joey]

Thanks for this table.

 

There are doubled subs:

 

Sub LeftFlipper_Collide(parm)

Sub RightFlipper_Collide(parm)

 

You can delete both after line 1513.

 

And to stop the controller error:
If you are playing in DT mode and has marked "disable b2s" in the "keys, nudge and DOF" settings, it happens
