The last version I can play of this is Fozzy’s beta 1.4d_withMixMaster, but once I hit 1.4f I get the rolling ball sound on 2 left flipper presses.

If I continue to play 1.4f I get the error…

Line: 1229 Subscript out of range: ‘b

1.4u does the same, but the error code is associated with 1172 from memory. (same bit of script, it just exists on another line now after updates)

I’ll have a look in DiffMerge and see what the differences are after Fozzy’z 1.4d

Test Kicker key codes first appeared in 1.4f and carry through until 1.4u

If I comment out the sections associated with these key codes (leaving the Test Kicker code itself), then the table works fine.

Try this rev guys. Physics are much closer to the previous release.

Table is playing fine on my table Rusty. No errors or hiccups at all. Try the above.

It does the same.  The Test Kicker code #46 creates a ball.  It appears that code happens to align itself with my left flipper button.  That’s why it’s not effecting others, as our button assignments differ.

Well done @drybonz turns out you were right :)

Should there be a ball drop sound on entry to the mixmaster?

Also, is there a way to add L/R balance to the ball drops at the end of the wire ramps?  The code to is different to what I’m use too.

Should be able to add the ball drop sound there. Cant speak to the balance though.

Here is my latest Refresh WIP:

More lighting changes and I have rolled in the MM changes fozzy referenced. Also photoshopped the plastics.

I am still dialing in the Mixmasters exit width. Still seems the ball is exiting too fast but that can be dialed in with the two posts and rubbers at the MM’s exit.

Let me know what you guys think please.

@wrd1972  I have looked at the ball drop sound out of the wire ramps, as the actual sound file used appears to favour the right channel. So when the ball drops out of the left wire ramp, I hear it to the right. :(

Without importing a new sound (so that my PMD becomes more than just a script update) I have added a new sub in order for me to increase the volume and add balance. With this code I now hear both left and right directions to match the wire ramp in use.

I think this mod would also benefit non-PMD/non-DOF users who hear the ball drop from the backbox speakers. (Change the 2 to a 1 for standard volume in both left and right calls)

Modified code in Red and original code in italics for easy view…

Cheers mate and thanks again for the hard work on this dudeliscious! table. :)

 

PS: I still need to comment out the KickerTest key codes. Not only do these produce the rolling ball sound on left flipper use, but I will get a rolling ball b “out of range” error during game play.  Once commented out, it plays perfectly. ;)

I know this wont effect everyone, but just for future reference if someone else comes along with a keycode conflict

What’s your left flipper button mapped to, Rusty?

I’d recommend increasing the plunger strength a tad from 1.4_x, sometimes a fully pulled back shot won’t hit the skillshot target. It’s pretty uncommon though, like 1/30 shots.

Have we lost the sound at the mixer?

Hey wrd, what you’ve accomplished with this table even in it’s current wip state is staggering. I can’t believe this is still VPX, because to a layman it could pass as next generation software. I realize a lot of the visual changes are work of many skilled artists (thank you all!), but your vision of putting it altogether and where to go next is second to none. I have to say I like how you have the physics dialed in 1.4_x, even if not accurate to the real thing makes playing this table immensely enjoyable. Overall fantastic effort and very much appreciated!

Good call robert. It really is an epic achievement.

The LRampEnd trigger was already there, it just needed activating.

I added another dummy sub with volume and balance…

Sub BallHitSound3(dummy):PlaySound “fx_balldrop”,0,.5,.3:End Sub

and changed the accompanying sub to call it…

Sub LRampEnd_Hit()
vpmTimer.AddTimer 150, “BallHitSound3”
End Sub

As far as play goes…. I think it’s playing really really well.  The mixmaster exit is pretty good as is now and any further improvements would bonus. :)

Ok… just wanted to reproduce that rolling ball… which, of course, I can hear now.  I guess that “test kicker” section of code was used at some point during the table design to create a ball to… well, test stuff… lol.  Probably should be removed.

Okay gang. Try out my latest refresh:

I think I am nearly there barring any issues you guys might find. Should be able to wrap this one up by the weekend. Let me know what you think.

How you do these updates is beyond me! Takes me days to do simple stuff in vp. Really great work your putting out

No sound on the mix master & the keycodes are still an issue for those of us with assignment conflicts.  Otherwise it’s playing great at this stage.

Also, I noticed no more launch sound. Was this intentionally left out in favour of just the rolling ball sound on shooter lane?

[wrd1972]

Rusty, Yes I pulled the launch sound especially since it sounded EM’ish. Is that a word. I would prefer something more realistic. If anyone has one, I can add it in. Are you referring to the audible motor sound effect for the MM? I did not notice that since I have a real motor. If someone will send me a revised script line. It will save me some time.
