      Wow. I didn’t realize you did 24 Fren. Fun table. I LOVE Transformers! But I also understand beggars can’t be choosers.  B-)

        Yea 24 was my first real “build” – Sharkey’s Shootout was more-or-less converted with updated graphics from destruk. Transformers was with gtxjoe and was right after 24 so it is farther along if I were going to convert it. WWF was the first table I really built from the ground up with primitives. I don’t particularly enjoy playing that table though so it’s not likely to ever get converted.

        Punch it!

          Dozer, I guess DJRobX only fixed showing extra data in VPM. I just sent him a screenshot and explained what was happening so we’ll see. Probably an easy directb2s fix right?

          Punch it!

            No lamp for the PRO versions assigned to GI – just use the gicallback channel.

            set GICallback = GetRef(“UpdateGI”)

            Sub UpdateGI(no, Enabled)
            Select Case no
            Case 0 ‘Top
            If Enabled Then
            GI_AllOn
            Else
            GI_AllOff
            End If
            End Select
            End Sub

            But don’t forget to remove manual calls to GI_AllOn and GI_AllOff from switch hits etc.

              It was/is at Gameover, locked Balls goes down – now i got 2 Balls out at a new Game Start …
              But not always, i think at a Multiball …

              No one had that before ?
              Ok, i have to say, i use the German ROM, but that shouldnt be the Problem, ill try it with the _a now …

              Found one Situation: i got the “Ace in a Hole” Multiball, then i shoot 1 Ball back in the Lock above,
              at the End (all Balls to Drain), i got 2 Balls to Plunger …

                Hmm. I seem to often loose balls on this table. The oddities have been related to multiball play. One time I seem to be able to get a ball rolling endlessly under the playfield, going faster and faster. It sounds just like on Congo, where the ball begins to roll if you leave the game alone for a while.

                I haven’t played this table enough to be able to tell exactly what happens and when. I have only seen that I often do get ball searches after multiballs.

                  Stat, I don’t think it’s caused by the german ROM. I am pretty sure I saw the same bahavior with a different ROM yesterday.

                      Looking great Fren !! Hope you keep converting those VP9 tables ! I know of at least one table I would like to see in VPX ;-)

                      Which one? I don’t particularly enjoy rehashing the old ones, I’d rather do something new, but WPT was probably my best VP9 table and had a solid enough foundation that converting it was relatively easy, I had it visually up to my standards in only a day or two, the rest was making the script work with VPX. With a table like 24 I’d have a lot more trouble getting it ported to VPX since it uses a lot of old VP9 elements still. WWF RR might work, I’m sure IJ4 would work. Transformers would be 50/50… it’s not all VP9 objects but it’s close…

                      WWF RR would be my favorite. I really like the pm5 table you did ! Transformers would be great also  :good:

                        Ah ok – next update then

                        DJRobX fixed the missing lamps in ChangedLEDs and has a new directb2s build that fixes it

                        Punch it!

                          I’ll look into it. Probably misaligned switch or something dumb.

                            Looks and plays great!

                            One thing I’ve noticed is it won’t tilt…. Nudging works fine and other tables on the cab will give warnings and then tilt (in VPX and VP9/PM5) so it is working generally.
                            But on this I can shake the legs of and nothing!

                              Believe it to be related to this issue

                              https://www.dropbox.com/s/wdik1ngm89c0woo/wpt_ball_locked.png?dl=0

                              Ball has a tendency to get trapped behind the targets on the right side. Some ball drains later and the rom gets confused.

                                  Thanks for the table Fren, plays nice and looks great.  Always a treat to play one of your tables.  :good:

                                  As much as i like more modernish tables i just don’t know about this one.  Am i playing pinball, playing poker, or just staring at the girl talking to me?  Guess it was all about capturing the poker craze of 2006 – ?

                                    I can’t get this table to launch…I get a rom error message. I can play the VP9 table which uses the same rom. I’ve noticed this rom issue on other Stern tables, but usually can get the table to launch if I just try again. Relaunch doesn’t seem to get it done on this table. Any ideas?

                                      Thats odd. No error here so something you have is not right. Double check rom? Re download table? What are your hardware specs? You running newest vp 10.2 betas?

                                        I’m running XP in a Virtuapin cabinet from Paul. I think the computer is  a 3.1 Ghz. I will try downloading the table again. The rom is ok because it works with the previous version. Thanks for your reply

                                          Bob, do you play in true fullscreen now?
                                          Maybe you have to delete the (Visual Pinmame) registry key for this table once, if you not have already done this before.

                                            This table uses the WPT_140a rom.  If you already have that and are running in fullscreen check that your ddraw setting is 0 in the registry.
