Please refer to the script for additional credits and table options. Big thanks to GTXJoe for allowing me to complete the table he started. Hope you guys enjoy it. All table Options available at the beginning of the script: -VR room -GI Color change mod -Bumper caps color mod -Select the apron color and style (sys11 and WPC) -Select flippers style (sys11 and WPC) -Add or remove Cheater Post in center drain -Add or remove the special effect "Excellent Ray Beam".

lminimart Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Howdy.... we've been playing this most excellent table in the VPC Discord competition this week. It rocks! Love it. Found a very minor fleep bug. Noticed that sw51 (left upkicker) was triggering the saucer kick sound just fine, but sw32 (right upkicker) was triggering nothing at all, so I looked at the script. The only real difference, code-wise, between those two sections of the script was that a tab character was inserted just before the "SoundSaucerKick 1, sw32" call in case 0. That tab doesn't exist in the sw51 section of the script. So I took that tab character out to see if this was just a syntax issue.... and that fixed it! A minor thing to add to your list for the next version. Keep up the great work, this table is fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It needs to look like the below; 781 Sub sw32_timer() 782 Select Case sw32step 783 Case 0:Rightupkicker.TransY = 10:SoundSaucerKick 1, sw32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lminimart Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Thanks for getting specific with that @Cliffy! I should have mentioned line numbers. Visual Basic syntax is *really* forgiving so I was kinda surprised something like this could even happen, but, it sure did.

lminimart Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 (edited) Ah, I was too quick @Cliffy! That's not the fix. It's confusing because, tab or no tab, the sub gets triggered in some cases but not all. So I thought I fixed it, but there are cases where that right upkicker still doesn't trigger the sound, but should. So I was right about Visual Basic syntax being extremely forgiving, but wrong about the fix. It's something else, unfortunately....

Cliffy Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 ah well, it'll be found some way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFun Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 A few of us from the discord tourny have experienced balls getting stuck behind BigShot during gameplay. It happened to me once during multiball ... not sure exactly where as it's not visible on the playfield. It's game-ending when it happens, requiring hard restart.

BigFun Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) It happened again, and I saw more clearly it pops right behind the rubber target, going through the target (or squeezed between white & red targets). If you look closely here, you can see the ball behind it. Edited October 6, 2023 by BigFun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigFun Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Also, this is minor (and may even be normal) but a very slow roll back up into the inlane and the ball dead stopped here. Is there a force keeping it against the wall? ...was easily dislodged with a nudge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxian Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 If someone can help. Every game starts with Dud-o-Meter stacked from the previous games. So no game resetting reslts in this meter to begin from the start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
