I installed 1.12 today and wanted to cancel the time out of modes. I took over "no" in the adjustment 50 "allow modes to Time out", but the modes still time out. Is that a bug? Or have I misunderstood anything? I thought I could take away the Time Pressure during modes.

I could be wrong but that option may change whether a mode progresses to the next mode and gives you credit as if you completed it after time out or not (as opposed to removing the timer...)

I wish the timer on Spook Central had a grace period before it started counting down, and counted down a bit slower.

One of the great things about Shadow was that you could set the timers for all the modes in the game. Underwater Doom was difficult to complete on the stock time level, but you could fix that easy in the menu settings. I would maybe add a few more seconds to Spook Central. Or set the rules so that completed shots add a (adjustable 0-3?) few seconds back to the timer.

This is correct. Modes will still time out, but with "no" selected on the time out mode option, it won't allow you to progress to the next mode in the ladder.

Can you set up to finish the mode before going on the next on the ladder?

ben oui, c'est justement ce qui est expliqué au dessus

time sur off > tu dois finir le mode en cours pour passer au suivant
time sur on > dès que le timer est à 0, le mode est considéré comme fini/complet (trop facile !!!)

Ok.
Et si tu perds la bille, tu repars de la ou tu t'es arrêté avec le timer qui reste ou tu recommences tout?

Hey hey hey. Language people.
No cursing on these boards.

well, some french speaking is not bad for US guys
even more when this forum "is" in the ... Netherlands, just near me
(joking of course)

Colonel : je sais plus, essaye (au pire avec les mains), mais de toute façon il ne faut pas garder le timer sur ON, car c'est trop facile

That's when Gomez needs to step in and explain to Dwight/Lyman that the inserts are there for a reason and to utilize them. I just figured that was part of the process, didn't realize game designers just threw inserts out there hoping the code team would use them all.

quite sure the 2 reds inserts at the outlanes were there for the proton beam toys...

lets admit they can now use it to tell the player flips are reversed (on/off) while being in mass hysteria MB

MH is starting with 100 ghosts. Nothing prevent to lit this light fix or flash to tell you if you play with reverse flip or not. Could have been a color light too (insert is white). But I agree, something to help you.

well, as (quite) all timers in this game, it has !
that timer began to count down after you get 1 switch (or you cut the animation by flipping )

I installed 1.12 on my Pro about a week ago and there were a couple dozen games played at my Christmas party with no complaints. I was playing a pretty decent game last night and had just started Mass Hysteria Multi Ball, and it may have been stacked with one of the scenes, either Spook Central or He Slimed me. Not really sure what happened, lots of balls in the pops at that particular moment but i noticed "Restarting" on the DMD and the game rebooted. Started another game after that and it seemed fine. Has anybody else noticed a random restart? or maybe tied to a particular mode/scene? I havent had much time to play it again to see if i could reproduce, perhaps just a really random set of variables during game play cause an overflow in the code and its error handling can't deal with it and restarts?

polly vu francis would you agree?

No random resets on v1.11. Glad I didn't upgrade yet.

That happened to me once during gameplay but hasn't happened again

my rt flipper still drops out at random even with this code. not sure if code related but it never did it until i installed 1.11.
in test flipper button works 100%.
during game play, sometimes when flipper button is pressed, flipper flips but doesnt hold. it drops instantly. sometimes pressing button flipper doesn't flip at all. cabinet switch ok, eos touching and opening fine. cleaned eos and cab switch.
still does same thing.

how come if the eos breaks, sterns still flip?
i just shoved a piece of cardboard on my lotr in between the eos so the contacts dont touch ever to see if it would flip and it still does.
so maybe its not an eos issue? or are spikes different?

LoTR is an entirely different flipper (and hardware) system than GB.

<<It's something to do with ball search and a lost slimer in 1.12, and is completely repeatable reliably, but unlikely/impossible to get in actual play (I think).>>

Vireland you must be mistaken because JoshODBrown reported seeing this bug in actual gameplay. Not 'Impossible' as you claimed

I wished they would use the PKE ramp and the switches to create a multiball. Complete pke targets x amount of time then hit pke ramp and depending how many switches you hit you get x amount of balls. 3 switches turns into 4 ball mb. 2 into three, 1 into 2

i had another reset today. Was in the middle of We came we saw off the middle ladder, and game restarted. I'm going to take my code back to 1.11 for now i guess and see if that helps anything, possible i even take it back to 1.10. guess we'll see how 1.11 treats me first

Mines still on 1.10 and never has ths issues of the newer codes... glad i havent upgraded

Any chance you could explain how to recreate this? I'd love to try it out. I am compiling a bug list for Dwight and have not seen this happen in v1.12. Thanks.

Sorry, i should specify this was on a Pro model... mentioned in my original post a few posts back, but i should reiterate on all posts going forward.

I didnt notice any other particular patterns, but there was a lot of stuff happening, both times its reset was during a major multi ball like Mass Hysteria or We Came We Saw...

did you know him & than have real contact ?

if yes, i'm happy already (and may be you can show me the list in PM, i could add few points you may have forgotten)
if not, than we're already few guys here to be reporting bugs from time, but seems all our infos are lost in the twilight zone :/

now, may be today IS the day !? 31 of december, just before midnight, we could get new codes dropping, KISS, GB, WOF... come on, i'm positive, it will happen !!!

yep i know
in fact it was a bit, just a bit, sarcastic...

Yea Lyman needs his hand slapped and some correction from gomez for going off on a tangent and implementing something like vip pass rather than thoroughly focusing on the game inserts. Good fricken plan dude. If you want a robot that codes the inserts real fast, jist stay away from Lyman games.

Great job reproducing the bug. This is the way you get something fixed and you followed the correct channels. Hope a new update comes soon for the owners. I have no doubt.

installed red tremor shaker from CoinTaker. Went to adjustments to lower the setting from max to moderate and still fires at max setting.

Even if I set it to off/None, it still shakes at max. Anyone else having this issue?

Change one of the weights so it's at least a 90 degree offset from the other (instead of 0 offset). It will help reduce the vibration. I have a red tremor in my GoT and had to do this. I didn't want a red tremor, but it's what my reseller had brought in for me.

Rob

There is no software adjustment for shaking intensity in stern games. It's frequency of when the shaker runs not intensity.

changed the EOS switch and the issue still exists. right flipper drops out at random and sometimes doesn't even flip.
its intermittent.
the EOS opens and closes just like the left. gaped properly. also tried a different node board and issue still exists.
kinda running out of solutions unless its an actual coil issue.
who sells the coil and cabinet switch? cant find them anywhere online.
i tried a new cabinet switch used on other sterns like lotr, elvis, etc and they are really too long and full circle contacts and it makes the flipper worse.

Anyone have an issue with the video mode when you choose the cards? I got through 5 or 6 of them last night and the mode just ended and sent me back to the game. When I played this game before, it would say that you got it wrong and then end the mode. Is it a bug or by design?

well, while we're talking about GB, for sure its a bug...

:/

You might have a switch that's making intermittent contact somewhere on the playfield.

Issues I have found with the Pro game...

Bugs:

- The DMD frequently says it's going to Light Tobin's Spirit Guide (through pop bumper random triggers, or collecting ghosts) and it almost never does. I have tried to keep an eye on it and I'd say the spirit guide only lights up 1 time in 3 on average when it says it is going to.

- Negative re-enforcement does not always light when the DMD says it is.

- 'Add-A-Ball' is lit when "we came we saw" is lit but not triggered yet? this might be by design, but it seems odd.

- sometimes when the ball goes into the right saucer it immediately pops it out without scoring anything. Like it was just waiting for a contact to eject. this behavior seems very rare and random.

- Hitting the PKE ramp on the right often triggers 2 hits on 'spooked librarian'. I cant tell if that is being triggered by multiple rollovers being hit and its intentional?

Issues and requests:

- the Mass Hysteria is currently not fun. It's just frustrating. I would request one of the following solutions:
- have a Light/sound change when the flippers are reversed. Maybe play music backwards? that would be kinds cool.
- Keep them reversed throughout the mode.
- have the reverse trigger changed to something easier to keep an eye on, like the inlanes, right saucer, or left scoop.

- Triggering the right orbit skillshot during your ball plunge seems to be an easy thing to take advantage of.

- would love to have control over the slingshot power on the Pro.

- Gozer mode is not clear what the objectives are.

I thought this was a bug, too, but realized I was in a scene. When I completed the scene, the lights were lit. Have you seen this when not in a scene?
