Quoted from 27dnast:

Is anyone else thrown off by the sound transition during a ball drain? Clunky?

I havent noticed anything, but mine still has the voice cut off after the ending match part. Does anyone else's do this?

I had this problem after I disabled the "Match Routine" in "Gameplay Features". So I enabled the feature again.
I am very happy that the update solved my credit problem.

I have the match routine enabled , maybe I will turn it off then back on.

To the code writers please fix the guillotine! The latest code 1.1.0.5 ten shots though the guillotine no longer gives an extra ball ,it only lights the extra ball target.Switching back to previous code until resolved.

Thank You

Hasn't the 10th always lit the extra ball lamp?? Pretty sure that is how mine has always operated.

Has anyone added RGB lights to their game like a spotlight or drain hole? I don't want to flood the game, but would like to add three lights more, and remain in the same light show pallet. Or I would like to jump lights off the speakers for a plexiglass topper but be sycronized with the speaker light show.

Here is a very good additional RGB lighting writeup for R&M which is done exactly the same on ACNC (OP of the writeup did it on both). What he did could be adapted to do what you are looking to do for both the holes and the topper...

Who else is diggin the latest code. I really like how the screen and loops show green where the weapon is for the currently selected monster. Definitely takes the memorization out of the picture which is fine by me. Is there any kind of incentive to defeat all the monsters when you reach BDB? If not, there should be, it’s difficult to beat them all.

#6163 3 years ago
Quoted from Lethal_Inc:

Unless they changed it in this code, BDB in unaffected by the number of defeated monsters you have.

Its great, i created a apron card ages ago with the rooms and monsters list for the weapons that i do not need anymore as its displayed on screen and pf. My concern is the number of bugs that have increased in this update over the last that havent been addressed and some are 3 or 4 updates old that are still there. As a ex programmer its easier to add pretty stuff to give the customer a warm fuzzy feeling, than it is to chase bugs. Hope spooky polish it.

#6165 3 years ago

I’m really digging it. Makes a surprisingly big impact as before I ended up ignoring weapons as it was too much effort to memorize the monster/room sequence.

Haven’t personally noticed any new gameplay bugs. But my machine still locks up after sitting for maybe 4-8 hours.

#6166 3 years ago

Do you think we will get anymore updates or is this considered finished?

Can you please list the bugs so perhaps Spooky and team can take a look? What bugs have you noticed with the newest update?

#6168 3 years ago

Post bugs in the 'Alice Cooper ACNC Bug and Enhancement Feedback Thread'

#6169 3 years ago

I recommend getting directly with spooky on bugs.

Quoted from chuckwurt:

BDB is affected by the monsters you kill because you get +1 lives on BDB for every defeated monster.

Ah okay. I was talking BDB value.

Is this update going to wipe my scores? Normally not an issue for me but as there are no rule changes I’d quite like to keep ‘em this time around.
So if it does wipe - what’s the process for backing them up?

It wiped the scores, yes.

A question: I have updated my ACNC with the latest software.
Now, when the magnet under the flippers grab the ball, it won't throw it bach into the game but it drains and the autoshooter plunges a new ball.
Always...

Is this a setting or not?

...there‘s a lot of information concerning this very topic already available. You could search for „magnet adjustment“

Yes. It’s a setting. Simple fix

Can I make the two multiballs harder to start ?Is there a settingfor this?

Mine used to throw it up to the Change Monster standups with the stock settings. Now after the update it is very weak. I'll mess with it but something was changed in the code, maybe to make it better for others....

I have had to change the pattern after every update. There is always one that seems to work for me though. I still haven’t bothered to bypass my resistor yet.

Hey ,got a question for you pinball professionals.Is there a way to disable the pink flashing lights during magnet -save routine.At my location we have had 3 persons go into a seizure when the magnet-save activates.

Thank You

Just picked up ACNC. This game is awesome so far!

Holy hell. Uh..
I would deactivate the magnet. (I think it's possible?) If it's NOT, contact Spooky - I know it's not a hard change to make to turn off that light so, and they may be willing to throw you a bone, for the health of your clientele.

Are you serious about the 3 people? I’d contact Spooky RIGHT away and make sure there’s a way to disable that in code. They won’t want any part of this. And like Coyote said, unplug it

How long do the seizures last? Did they know they had photosensitive epilepsy? Honestly I love that pink pattern and it would take away from the experience. I mean there are a ton of triggers in most pinball games. If you really wanted to do something to prevent seizures, just put a warning on the apron.

Don't ever get a Tales from the Crypt machine, they will seizure for sure trying to activate the multi-ball.

#6189 2 years ago

One would think that people with epilepsy would know to stay away from pinball machines. There are so many that having crazy blinking lights.

The thought that three such people would all go to the same place, play the same machine and take a fit is so far fetched it's hardly believable.

JJP gunners anyone?

I've been having issues with 2 items on game:
1) nearly any shot into the Secret Passage that comes around to the right side goes straight down the middle without fail short of knocking the cabinet 6 inches to the side
2) I keep having issues with the ball going up by Frank and not being recognized by the game. I've tried bending the wire for the rollover but the problem just comes back.

#6191 2 years ago
Quoted from ArcadeVideo:

My left orbit shot has suddenly decided to drain SDTM after exiting on the right side. For two years, it has always come out onto the right flipper, but now goes SDTM every time. I'm guessing the outer orbit metal got bent a bit, so I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced this and how you remedied the issue? Much thanks!

This is a quote from Luke a while back:

"Hey guys on that right orbit the ball guide can get bent in slowly through game play if it takes hard shots. If you just carefully straighten it back out a bit it will send a fast shot right to the center of the flipper!"

Mine was hitting the rubber that made it go SDTM, bending the end of the ball guide slightly fixed the issue.

Having trouble with code update. Here's picture of it on usb I've used before without issue.
While game is off I install usb.
Power on game.
Update done almost instantly.
Remove usb.
Power cycle.
Power cycle again cuz it gets hung up during small text left upper screen during boot.
On 2nd power cycle game gets past small text screen boots and shows code 104.

USB now contains code and user and game settings

Unlike this pic when I first started.

#6197 2 years ago

Did you turn the game OFF before removing the usb???

In the video it‘s a very quick sequence. Update complete - turning off - removing usb - turning on again.

#6198 2 years ago

No it says remove usb and then power cycle the game on the update screen.

#6199 2 years ago
Quoted from tp:

The instructions may not be precise or a bit misleading. I used the video as a guide, no problems.

#6200 2 years ago

This is what it says after the update.
