Hey Coindropper, thanks for letting me know you uploaded a new build of your LOTR WIP. I like the aesthetic changes you made to the switches on the POTD. It’s shaping up nicely.
– Hey I noticed the Plantir switch now registers a hit by moving and giving feedback, that is new and its awesome.
– Balls are now auto-plunging on multi-balls, thanks!
– I noticed this before but did not report on it. During 3 ball multi-balls the table does stutter badly when all 3 are in play. When it drops down to 2 balls it plays fine. Have you tried using a different HDR image to see if it improves performance? Got this info from this thread on VP10 performance issues on the Space Station VP10 Table:

“On a GTX 980 with 4GHZ I7 I was getting dips to around 70 FPS near the flippers. I replaced the HDR image you used with one I use in my tables and started seeing frame rates of around 250fps in the same area. Looks like that image is causing a frame rate issue.
“Environment Emission Image. It’s the HDR image file that is used to light the whole scene. You can try different ones by loading a table and seeing what the author has used and then exporting it from the image manager and then importing it into the table you’d like to try it on.”
– Is there a script change I can make (line number?) to use the sound samples instead of the ROM sounds, it is cracking pretty bad when I start of the multi-ball modes.
– As well, in my testing so far, I have not made the ring ramp shot successfully. I have hit the ring to start a mode maybe 3 times, but the ball has not actually gone through. The magnet has never grabbed the ball in my testing. I am not sure if you need to increase the flipper strength or reduce the friction on the ramp, but the shot for me right now is not possible. In the real pin installed the PinballLife LOTR flipper kit to give it the extra power needed to make that money shot every time :) I could basically start a mode every time when I had the ball trapped on either flipper.
I will keep testing. But it’s coming along nicely.
