      This was total guesswork on my part. What if it is inverted and you check extra ball off. Does it light then?

        :good: Yes it does. Set it to off and it works :)

        I’ve looked at those settings a few times before. But, I haven’t figured out how they work exactly. Guess this is good time to ask.

        I mean, I don’t think I will have a problem with switching on and off here. But, how does this refer to switch 14 ?

          Ok, so the line to add then is:

          .AddFrame 400,310,120,”Extra Ball On”,&H0002000,Array(“on”,0,”off”,&H00002000)’dip 14

          I barely understand how these work. There are some good reference posts at VPforums but I haven’t dug into them. If someone wants to clean up my positioning to make it look as tidy as the other menu items feel free to post your suggested positioning numbers.

          So I’ll leave the game as-is for now since the fix is a simple DIY job. I’ll do a full physics/lighting revamp as planned in October if I’m still alive.

            I’m going to put it in the repo once I have it “fixed”.

            Will hunt that vpforum thread first.

            Oh – and, I was wrong. It was actually correct the first time around. I don’t know how I managed to screw that up :)

              Ok, found a great tutorial from destruk on the subject. So, I learned something new today too :)

              https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=16902

              Fix is uploaded to github : the change https://github.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts/commit/c405d22161c8261a2e65fa8de99dae688f3351ca

              and the full script : https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts/c405d22161c8261a2e65fa8de99dae688f3351ca/Dracula%20(Stern%201979).vbs

              Recommended : Go to this url https://github.com/sverrewl/vpxtable_scripts – press that green button. Download as zip – extract all the scripts to a temporary folder eg. c:\temp. Take the script that matches the table you want to change. Put it in the same folder. Start the game. If it pleases you, press save button. Or just let it be. Don’t like it ? Delete and no change has been done.

                @max-k, @bord, @thalamus, thank you for your work and especially your time in finding and fixing this issue with the table. It is very much appreciated. THANK YOU.

                            VPX

                            Got everything moved from Blender to VPX. Still a few gameplay issues to tame before working on sound.

                            Really this is all a practice run for rendering Genie to VPX. Wanted to test raytraced mesh star rollover inserts and a few other things I hadn’t tried before. Results are pretty good but as with all new things it adds modeling and scripting time.

                                Wow! Nice comparison. Here’s hoping gameplay is improved as well.

                                    I’m not normally an EM guy, but this get’s my flipper-fingers hot.  I’ll be-a-watchin’ for this!  Thanks! :mail:

                                      @brandonlaw, I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised – both in the gameplay/fun domain but also that this is an early SS. It does show its lineage to EMs, though. Even has an option to use real chimes instead of its sound board.

                                          Fun lineup, @thalamus. I’ll send you the Dracula WIP beforehand and you can do some play testing and comparison on a real one.

                                            @thalamus  …Copenhagen!  Wow, that IS quite a list.  Would take a week to spend enough time with all those titles.  Very jealous.  I don’t get out in the wild often but a Munsters just got installed at an establishment next to my shop.  Meh.  Had more fun with the WCS and Metallica they also had but WISH they had a Centaur, Taxi, Comet, Xenon, Paragon!! line-up.  Haven’t played those in real life in years.  Don’t need to say it but will – – have a blast!!
