Use the Right Magnasave key to feed a ball to the plunger (usually the right CTRL key), or you may change the variable AutoBallLoading at the start of the script to True if you prefer the balls being ejected automatically.
If you want to use any other key then you'll need to change the line 187.

The rolling ball sound stops after the first or second ball in play. I also had 5 balls get launched at a single plunge. Thanks.

I added only two rolling sounds to the table I have added a few extra now, so download the table again and you will get a rolling sound for each ball

A great game in real life and you built a beautiful example. There's a hole in the bucket, err, the ball lift channel though and the balls are spilling out all over the floor

[yukiko1701d]

It's very well made, but there are some problems...    

 

Problem 1:

The ball leaks from the ball release in front of the plunger and falls to the floor...

 

Problem 2:

The advance arrow above the elevator does not move from 0 even when the elevator opens...

 

I played the game and this is happening...

 

I apologize for the inconvenience, but I would appreciate it if you could fix it...

 

P.S.

I'm using Visual Pinball X 10.8.0 beta 1 & Visual PinMAME 3.5...

Thanks JP & Halen!! Looks & plays great. Tried with VP 10.7 & 10.8, no problems.

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Updated 29.11.2023

- Fixed the elevator arrow.

- Tried to fix the ball falling off the plunger lane, although it never happened to me.

 

The elevator arrow was a last minute fix, which actually broke the arrow by not turning off a timer 20 years involved with VP and I'm still learning

In my setup, the ball never fell out of the plunger lane, but I have done some changes which should prevent that from happening.

DB2S UPDATED

 

I have uploaded a new db2s made by Halen and hauntfreaks,

There's still a hole at the lifter. You can see your desktop backdrop behind it

[hmueck]

It's this thingy with a bottom height of -20. Punches a hole in the wood.

 

[jpsalas]

Yes, there is a hole, I know, I put it there but you are changing the POV, so you will need to change the backdrop image too, what you see is the backdrop.  If you don't care to see the hole or its wooden wall, then just make the top of the hole visible and make it black. And by the way that "hole" wall is there so the ball doesn't fall, and it is also there to show a wooden wall inside the hole.

Anyway you need to download the table, since it has been updated.

I haven't changed POV. Just ran it straight as-is. Never saw this hole on any of your other tables so was a bit surprised. You're usually great at details which is why I wanted to point it out in case you missed it. If by design then, ok, thanks!

Anyway, if you don't want to see that hole then just select that wall (hole020), make the Top visible, change the material to Plastic Black.

Better yet, just slap a little wall on the bottom of it (top -20)
(copy existing hole wall, paste wall in place, set wall top to -20, bottom to -21)

and give it an appropriate texture

not sure if it should be wood? it darkness or?

[yukiko1701d]

Thank you for the update...

 

I filled in the holes as instructed...

 

I hope you have a happy end of the year...
