Hello again, it's me, and I don't know what I'm doing

I have four Backglass segments for each of four possible players.
What I want to do is when the game loads, and when it ends and goes into attract mode, is have the top four highscores displayed in the four backglass segments.
I assume the highscores are stored in the fpRAM, but how do I get to them?

And also shoot off some firecrackers if the current highscores are beat.


And as a side note; I'd like to disable the built in highscore entry from fp...



Again, thanks for any help

The "Global Methods and Variables" article in the "Scripting" section of the manual contains a lot of the stuff you're searching for. The highscores are stored in "nvHighScore()". The high-score entry is triggered by "EnterHighScore()"; search for it in the script and remove it to disable the build-in high score entry system. Use the "PlaySound()" command to play the sound of your firecrackers. =)

Thanks. It took a bit of thinking, lol, but I figured it out!

I had the same problem, but I got It to work after awhile. The Dmd now displays the player's name (In the three initials) and their score.
