April 16, 2018 at 5:14 pm #82024What you can’t score 50,000 on Capersville??? A deaf, dumb and blind kid could do that!
Oh wait only a deaf, dumb and blind kid could do that…
Uncomment lines 141 to 144 (remove the ‘ before each line), run the table and then re-comment them (add the ‘ before each line) and that should fix that score issue. A new version with lower default scores is now on this site.
What do you think about the ability to play the table in either English or German? That took quite a while to get working correctly but this opens up a lot of possibilities in VP. For example you could use this technique to bundle both the 2 and 4 player versions of EM’s in a single table. Just go to the “Options” menu and select “Sea Ray” for 2 player of “Mariner” for 4 player without ever having to leave the table for your front end software.
The biggest problem that I see to this is that I’ve been told that primitives cannot show reflections so the secondary playfield will not show reflections like the actual playfield does. Maybe this feature could be added into the next version of VP along with integrated backglasses.  Â

April 16, 2018 at 5:37 pm #82033It’s fixed … table plays differently so it was only correct to reset.
11,888 is my new one. Harder to get into Code Zapper Caper.

April 16, 2018 at 5:42 pm #82037I played about 100 games on EM machines this weekend and I was impressed with the fact that the EM tables that I’ve made play WAY too fast. I decreased the table slope and toned down the strength of the bumpers to help make the tables play a little more like what I experienced this weekend. I left the flippers fairly strong since there seems to be a wide variation between EM machines in their flipper strength. I suppose this has to do with coil degradation.

April 16, 2018 at 11:34 pm #82066Looks great, I love the colors of this table. I like the bilingual option, not that I speak German, I just like the creativity and thought of everyone to pull this off, and the desire to easily include other languages in the table.

April 17, 2018 at 6:44 am #82090Thanks I really like this table’s ability to seamlessly switch between two completely different tables via the option menu.
Great pick up on the bumper contactors!  I never touched the code for those but for some reason the DOF calls were switched in three lines in the Bumper Sub so that DOF 104 changed to 1104.  Weird but now fixed, new version uploaded.

April 17, 2018 at 9:00 am #82105No problem, not enough caffeine on board yet so I missed the bundle when I fixed the script. Both are now together in the zip, thanks for letting me know!
As I think more about VP, in addition to making primitives have reflections it would be great if the playfield image could be changed out in the script. That would save making a primitive playfield in the first place.

April 17, 2018 at 2:26 pm #82138Thank you for th update, lovely table and it looks so good!!
I noticed this, minor thing….when in the options menu (left flipper on start) I turn off the chimes they are on and when in the menu on they are off.
And…when the are on (so off in the menu) they sound very soft (not loud enough compared to the flipper sound).But just a minor thing…. (using SSF)
Then…about the
Sea Ray Super Bonus Caper
when I read the original Capersville instruction the special can be set on a real machine to be the value of 5,6,7 or 8.
Here…am I right to see in lines 1286 and 1287 that the value is 5 AND 9?
So…is there an E.B. when this values are reached with the ‘super bopnus computer’??
Thanks!

April 17, 2018 at 3:24 pm #82142nice table, thanks.
this is a wonder rescued from the 60s,
I have an error: the right bumper wall (I mean the wall that is above the right flipper) does not work, what can I do to make it work?You need to login in order to like this post: click here
April 17, 2018 at 3:44 pm #82145Glad you guys like the table!
Jopp – The chime unit setting is to turn a real chime unit on and off in the code. If you don’t have a chime unit leave this set to off. I put this in because my chime unit is really loud and my wife can hear it through the floor so with this I can play at night and not have to mess with DOF.
The only instruction manual that I have access to is in German and I can’t read it so if you have access to an English version please send me a copy. You have the correct section of code for setting the special payout which is a replay not extra ball. I believe I set this at 5 and 9 because that is what I saw on an old VP9 exe table. The extra ball/replay setting is for the point total goals.
Micronaut – Capersville is a little different in that there is no kicker on the right slingshot so what you are seeing is what the original table did. To tell you the truth I’m glad that there is only a kicker on the left sling because in many of these EM games you can end up with the ball cycling between the slings and if you don’t nudge the table the ball will end up going up and over the top of the slings into a side drain!

April 17, 2018 at 8:47 pm #82210It never ceases to amaze me, you can work on a table for a month and still miss things! PsychoSonic messaged me about going for 20k tonight so I thought I’ll play a few games. I’m staring at the playfield on Ball 1 and I see that only one of the Mushroom Posts is black metal, the others are all black rubber (grey). New version uploaded if things like this bug you…

April 18, 2018 at 4:00 pm #82269Thanks for your explanation.
done some ‘research’ on how the Sea Ray Super Bonus Caper (SRSBC) is working and this is what I found out by reading rulesheets and reading the schematics:
Inside the machine (I guess in the head) there are 4 wires for the SRSBC.
These wires can be connected to the number 5,6,7 or 8 of the SRSBC wheel. So…the minimum is that you do not connect any of these 4 wires to 5 6 7 8, the maximum is that you connect all 4 wires to 5 6 7 and 8 of the SRSBC but any combination (so 0 to 4 wires and 5,6,7 and/or 8) are possible.
When the wheel reaches the number (5 6 7 8) where a wire is connected to it can either give a free play OR it can give points determined bij the Code Symbol is on the Code Zapper wheel at that moment (so, Triangle = 100 points. Circle = 300 points and a Square = 500 points).
Well….it won’t affect gameplay like it is working now but if you want to be it as accurate as possible…this is how it’s working on a real Capersville.
Thanks for your work on this beautyÂ

April 18, 2018 at 4:52 pm #82280Hey Jopp, thanks for pointing that section of the schematic out. You are absolutely right about the adjustments so if you want to modify your table to reflect this, then change the section of the script that handles the SeaRayLights. You can change the values in lines 1286 and 1287 to whatever values you want (5-8). If you want to put the machine in novelty mode you can replace the call to the Special subroutine with a call to AddScore and feed it the CodeZapper value (100,300,500).

April 20, 2018 at 10:37 am #82460New version 3.2.6 uploaded that incorporates Jopp’s detective work into how the SeaRay circuit actually works. You can comment or uncomment sections of script to set the payout for the Sea Ray to either Special or Novelty modes. Special pays out specials and Novelty pays out the value of the Code Zapper reel. You can also control how many Sea Ray’s are needed to pay out (any combination of 5-8). The instruction cards on the table have been redrawn for payout of specials at 5 and 8 Sea Rays.
I also fixed the sound management for the reels.
