thanks for this beautiful table.

 

There is a problem with the launching of ball. The table put a ball in the launching lane, and if you wait and arm your plunger, another ball is added. i even get 3 balls…. it seems that the table add ball if you didn’t launch them after a certain time (you can hear an auto ball filling clicking even if you didn’t arm the plunger)

same you get the multiball, the ball stay in the launching lane and you add balls .

Second problem : if you set the BIGFLASHERS = 0 in the script (line 23 ) , you get 2 errors at lines 493 and 494 (Warriorflash2.visible = true and warrioflash3.visible=true)

First of  all this is a masterpiece,looks and plays beautiful. I read the description carefully if may i say a constructive feedback and you told this:

“so please leave constructive feedback or comments in the support topic and will try to make it better.”

So i think it’s not problem if i say what could be better.

The table itself is beautiful, the models, lightning absolute masterpiece.

The only i changed is the Slingshot power from 4 to 3 becouse with 4 from 5 ball 4 go one of the outline.

 

And now the feedback(graphic thing only): I think the only thing must improve is the inserts. A masterpiece table like this maybe needs better looking inserts later in an update :)

Every other thing is beautiful and lovely. Just my 2 cents and i really hope it’s not problem i said this :)

 

Thank you so much for the amazing table! I will play a lot.

if you set the BIGFLASHERS = 0 in the script (line 23 )

Just block those line 493 and 494 putting ‘ at the beginning of those 2 lines

‘ Warriorflash2.visible = False
‘ Warriorflash3.visible = False

Is this version only for FS user?

Tested the v1.0 version, this version looks better in the DT view. Only 2-3 steps and the version looks good, not so with v1.1

Awesome job. The community appreciates all the effort in bringing this table to life.

@goldchicco is there a way to make this kickout to the right flipper more random in strength. If I wanted I could just keep flipping it repeatedly into the hole by cradling the ball and hitting it with the magna-save flipper. Not sure if it’s like that on the real machine since I have never played this in real life.

Thanks for the upload. I know it’s a lot of work to put together a table for release.  There are a couple visual issues that I see.   First your flasher images for the flashers are floating way above the flasher objects. This is probably fine for cabinet view, but not great for desktop view.  Second is that many of your objects are missing material assignments.

My recommendations are; first ‘Enable flying around’ in the Keys preferences.  Then use those in the camera mode to look at the table from all angles to look for things out of place (ie: the flasher image heights)

Second change your editor/UI options so that the ‘Default Material color’ is crazy neon green (or some other color that really stands out).  This will make objects that are missing material assignments much more apparent.  You can also use the edit(menu)>Select Element screen to sort through your objects to find ones that do not have material assigned as they should.

Thank you for another table @goldchicco. A couple of issues that don’t seem to be functioning right with the table. As part of one of the skillshots, There should be magnets at the top of the table to stop the ball above the b.u.g lanes and drop it into one of the lanes when the ball is launched from the plunger. When doing a full plunge, the ball travels completely around to the flippers and when doing a softer plunge to the top lanes the magnets still do not stop the ball. Also during gameplay I think they also should activate at certain times to stop the ball when shooting the orbit shots.

Ok, so I’ve not played this game on a real machine… Not sure if these are problems with the VPX version or if this is part of the real game as well.

1. Ramps do not seem to score Jackpots during multiball.
2. Yellow standup target to right of right ramp does not seem to trigger when lit.
