The Script was full of errors.

Like the titular spacecraft, it crashed and burned.

And I was looking forward to this "Pinball I've neither seen nor played" and its 13-Ball Multiball.

Thanks Noah for the fast reply on my requested table!
However this table needs the A13.vbs file and this file is not in the zip!

Well...I wouldn't say that "the script was full of errors" - you do need A13.vbs to play it though (without it, it throws up lots of errors).

Does anyone have it?

Thanks,
Dan.

Is the above file the vbs or something else?

[Noah Fentz]

It's the .vbs

I updated the download, too.

Where do I put the VBS?

Where do I put the VBS?

(Tempting....so very tempting......no I will resist!)

You stick it in the same folder as the table.

Regards,
Dan.

Apollo 13 needing its own VBS?

I thought this was SEGA, not Gottileb!

Current High: 2.5B thanks to 13-Ball Blastoff.

Thought it might be weird to bump a 'New Releases' thread after 4-1/2 years, but this is where I wound up when I hit the 'Support Topic' button.....there's no place like this place around this place, so this must be the place!

 

Reading about the new Future Pinball version of this table, but still using a lame computer, I checked out the VP8 version, and was surprised that my rig handled it pretty well---even getting an almost-perfect 13-ball multiball release! Of course, usually there is a fair amount of stutter, but it's smoothed out by the time all of the balls have dropped down and are resting on the raised post, and from there on the main issue is Ball-Through-Flipper (it's really crowded out there) but I'm a VP8-ophile and I'm accustomed to dealing with it.

 

Anyway, I looked at PINemHi and the high score topic PDFs to see what it took to be competitive, and neither lists the table! I was ready to just submit a score to the high score topic and wait for the next update when I found the FS SpannersMod WIP thread and the apparent bad news after all that work.   (Okay, rickeb; what is F.G.S?

All the updates are suffering from F.G.S., and are no longer available. )

 

 

I hope A13 hasn't been canned from lack of interest (or trust) because I think it does, or can, work well enough to put some scores up. I'm gonna log a 4B+ game and I was at 5.8B with an extra ball collected and the right orbit lit for a 273M Super Jackpot when the rom froze up in conjunction with my nod32 A.V. pulling a start-up scan---its second in twenty minutes(?!)---but things were rollin' up til then!

 

Thanks to El Condor, Biffman, vidmouse, spanner, and Noah---someday y'all'll nail it!

 

Cheers, all! Gregg
