To enable this setting you'll need to load the table and close switch 5 (Tournament Switch) - The table script editor makes this easy.

In the keydown routine -- 

 

Sub Table1_KeyDown(ByVal keycode)

if keycode=30 then controller.switch(5)=1 'Press A to close the tournament switch

 

Then play the table.

Press the left flipper to change the selected option in the tournament settings menu.

Press the right flipper to change the value of that setting.

When it is to your preference, go ahead and exit the table back to the editor.

 

Add a timer to the table (enabled) and set the interval to 2000 for 2 seconds.

Add this routine to the script

 

Sub Timer1_Timer

Timer1.Enabled=0

Controller.Switch(5)=1 'Enable tournament mode

Controller.Switch(6)=1 'Close coin door

End Sub

 
Then save the table, and the game will boot up into free play mode now.

Thanks!

 

Wouldn't it be better to move it to the tutorials section? 

If it stays here, we'll forget about it.

True Joe, but for those that don't have a free play adjustment available in the stepper menus, it's just another thing to try. :)  ie Cactus Jack's has it in the menu already.
