Hey! I have a Pirates of the Caribbean machine, and I edited a message ( "LIGHT|TIMED|BALL LOCK" ). I believe that the "|" symbol makes a new line. After I edited it, I noticed that it was all on one line with no spaces. Then, I changed it back, making sure it was exactly the same as the original. It did the same thing. It says "LIGHTTIMEDBALLLOCK." I've checked it and retried it a bunch of times and it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Quoted from oga83:I can confirm that this is a bug. It will be fixed in the next version.
In the meantime, you can use the following workaround (that I have tested) :
- Modify your message as follow : LIGHT+TIMED+BALL LOCK
- Use the "Search Firmware" button (at the bottom of the Message tab) to locate the same string
- Modify the string to LIGHT|TIMED|BALL LOCK
This time, the | will be correctly converted to a line feed.
It’s fixed! Thank you so much for the help and for your quick response.
Hey oga83! Thanks again for your help before. I was thinking of a possibility for something in a new update. It could make no sense as I could never do what you do, so let me know if I’m way off. What if there were a way to change the actual programming of the machine (like pairing switches and coils and whatnot.) For example, maybe being able to make the right flipper act as the left flipper to make a tournament extra challenging (or perhaps for something more useful.) Again, I have no idea if this is a realistic idea. I cannot even imagine the amount of work you put into this, so I won’t act like I understand it
Quoted from oga83:This is beyond the scope of PB.
It would be hard to have an easy-to-use tool that would allow modifications in the game logic.
Got it, thanks!
I'm trying to setup communication, but I cannot find the hex file. Any idea why or where I can download it?
Quoted from oga83:You don't need it anymore with PB v7 : for Sam firmwares, you just have to click on the "Comm Patch" button (Sam tab).
I'll look into it.
When I click “Comm Patch,” it says, “patches should be applied before any other modification...” and I just get a bunch of warnings. Does this just mean it’s not compatible with my firmware?
Quoted from oga83:Open a stock firmware and apply the patch before any other modification.
If you have any error during the process, the communication patch cannot work on your game.
Once the patch is installed, you can modify anything you want like sounds, messages, ...
I tried that and still got warnings. I guess that means it's not compatible with POTC. Thanks for all the help though!
