Also, who has made a save state with all characters in jail and used that save state as a mini game to play???

I've been playtesting the new game I'm making for the Heist playfield a lot... and last night I had a first - perfectly timed shot got a ball trapped underneath the crane after it had lowered and before it performed a sweep!

The crane pulled the ball across for the entire sweep and everything was fine, I just wondered if anyone else had ever done that before?

I've gotten two of the stuck together during the crane multiball, but I haven't done what you are describing. That would be a heck of a shot.

*raises hand*

I have not but I'm going to have to do that now!

I've gotten to the 15-ball MB, but haven't beat it. That damn last shot..

Is the switch that tells it the crane is fully retracted registering?

I’d open a ticket with support. They’ll probably reply before you finish typing it.

Yes, out if the box I had a similar issue where a screw had dropped but in my case it kept the crane from retracting. And like with any new pin, it does not hurt to check for loose bolts on top side and bottom side of the Heist module.

Protip! If you have the 15 Car Monte saved as a save-state, the 6 character jailbreak save point is just one crappy ball away (assuming you don’t have any pesky donut bribes lol)

Sorry to hijack the thread - but my next game comes out on Monday and will utilize the Heist playfield module!

Silver Falls will be revealed on Monday 6/28 at 8PM Eastern by Kevin Manne on the Buffalo Pinball Twitch stream (twitch.tv/buffalopinball)

This game design was a collaboration between myself and my 10 year old daughter, Sophia.

It's a very different style of game. For a bit more information before the reveal, check out https://silverfallsforever.com/

The music for the game is a unique chillhop soundtrack, created by the amazing Scott Danesi!

Sophia and I will be at the reveal stream, and I hope to see you all there too.

The ability to purchase on Multimorphic's site will go live with the reveal stream Monday evening.

Fun Twitch stream with KevInBuffalo completing Heist a few days ago;
https://m.twitch.tv/videos/1087921992

Can't watch - want to get there myself! Just finally got good enough to make it to the Final Heist pretty regularly!! Slowly working my way through the final heist stages.

Such a great game!

That last crosstown shot, so satisfying! <3 Heist

And so stressful!

I’m having some trouble with my jail settings - the door does not seem to stop in it’s up or down position consistently, and I’m getting rejects because the door does not appear to go up all the way.

MM support (TJ) suggested I make sure my scoops and walls were all level with the playfield so as to reduce potential airballs. That made a HUGE difference with the flow of the game but did not fix the issue with the jail. Now that I’ve been fooling with it I’m not sure how to land on the exact correct settings.

So first off, Does anyone have a photo of the jail all the way up so I know what I’m aiming for

And second, what are your settings ?

gstellenberg can help you out! I will upload a picture of my settings tommorow . As I don’t have my heist installed at the moment

I know he can! I’ve been bugging the support guys a little bit this week, but wanted to hear some real world experiences too

.. and thanks! Bedankt!

The heist and silver falls shouls

Let me get a pic!

EDIT: hope these help

Thanks! That helps me out a ton. It seems like for the most part it is raising the proper amount, but I have to figure out why it's not consistently going to those settings. Sometimes the gate isnt' raised far enough, or it doesn't quite come all the way down, but other times it's perfect.

Could you go into diagnostics, then just lower and raise the gate a handful of times. See if the actuator/motor just is having a miss step every so often?

Or play a few games and when it does act up, try to get a picture of where it is height wise.

Have you followed the instructions in the support doc? https://www.multimorphic.com/support/projects/customer-support/wiki/Servo_Not_Operating

That shouldn't happen. It should consistently get to the up and down positions every time. PM sent. We'll get to the bottom of it!

Wish there was one of these in the northern California area, that I could go see and play.

Got your email, checking the game in a bit! Thanks for always going over and above with support!!

When Press Start opens in Reno we will have a P3 Heist game to play. They should be opening this fall as long as there are no more delays.

Put up a pretty damn good game (for me) last night after finally remembering to try the “save” and “restore” feature. I start lots of games with my profile but just never remember to save.

Does the save/restore keep track of what ball you are on, or just progress in modes and score? I didn’t take note of this last night

Man, those multiballs are brutal! I’ve had more games than I care to remember where my Crane MB score is like 10,000, or worse, 0!

When you “restore” a save state, it starts over at ball 1.

Yeaaaaah I still need to pull the glass and get everyone in jail and save it. Breaking everyone out as a reverse multiball is intense!

I have a few save states and when guests are over it’s fun to load them up for guests to try specific things: like breaking ppl out of jail, a big heist; or other rooms on silver falls

Great ideas!

I need to make a list, but There do seem to be a handful of bugs in the game - I know the MM has a ton of stuff still planned for release, but I’m curious if there are any plans for a bug fix release ?

Rdoyle1978 - Yes, we'll continue releasing updates for all of our games when we have bug fixes or new features to add. We have a couple of known items to fix on Heist, but the list is actually pretty short. So please make sure to send any issues you've found. With SysMan 3.1.0.0 or higher, you can update logs with just a couple of button presses. So... turn on "All" logging in Heist, play until you encounter an issue. The go to SysMan -> Manage Apps -> Heist -> Manage Logs -> Send Log to Multimorphic. Ideally then follow up by opening a ticket on our support site describing the problem and when/how you noticed it.

My list is fairly short as well; I can't even remember what the bugs were - minor things to be sure. Hey, I can submit logs via wifi now!

Heist enters the Top 100:

Top 100 (resized).png

nice! Now how do we get a mod to approve all the reviews I added?

Having played both Heist and Godzilla this weekend, I have to say that I enjoyed Heist quite a bit more. The callouts and the graphics make the rules much easier to understand in Heist. With Godzilla you either have to invest a good bit of time playing the game, read about it online or have an experienced player teach you how to start the modes get a multiball and or score the big points. With Heist, the game teaches the player quickly and effectively how to advance the game. With both games, I like the fast paced action.

Number one by next week! You heard it here first!

congrats to Heist, one of the few games to ever sit above Medieval Madness in the charts, and the one game that took the LONGEST to get on the chart to do it.
Most games that top MM are there for a week or two as the LE owners have their honeymoon phase, but to come out on top after this amount of time? Very impressive

Enough people actually have the game by now, it seems

they can maybe add stuff like that for some Challenge game modes as part of the base software.

These guys just keep getting better. They are a small team of extremely talented individuals who have ‘gone against the grain’ of flashy toys and gimmicks and have concentrated instead on deep rule sets and clever, new ideas in design. I can’t wait to add a Heist to my collection. Lexi Lightspeed needs a playmate.

in the week since Heist was #2 on the Top 100 list it went from 25 ratings and a 9.201 rating, to 55 ratings and 8.126

(the math shows that of those 30 ratings accrued in the last week, the average score was 7.23)

Yes, it was review bombed. Expected, but sort of pathetic.

Only 2 of the negative reviewers actually had the guts to post a comment. Aah well, back to complaining about how the Top 100 is so unfair!

Heist Classic???

As everybody knows, the 1.0 release of Heist came with a lot of rule changes, designed to make the game easier.

Only two shots to recruit a member, easier jail breaks...

Thing is: I was just use to the original rules.

Is there a set of config changes I can make to get close to the original rule set, without going to an old version of the software?

- Mark

Idk what the original rules were, but when I was in the settings everything is changeable, how many shots etc

Thank you for your note. I knew that there were a bunch of settings available, but I did a bad job of asking my question. I guess what I really meant was:

Does anybody have a snapshot or list of the pre 1.0 settings?

- Mark

Sjsilver should put top men on this... you know before the flood gates on Monday.

Actually; strike that... why can't you do this yourself?
You can install the earlier version; infact, if you like it so much - just stay on that version indefinitely.
If you really want the new code with old settings; can't you grab those snap shots and do it yours?

Not trying to be combative; just generally asking why you can't do it yourself?

Good point!

However, I don't have a copy of the old software, and I just checked the Multimorphic Web Site, and they don't have older software versions available for download.

I don't want to stay on the old version of the software, as there are lots of additions and improvements that I do want to keep. I know that one change I want to make is to raise the shots require to recruit a character by 1. I don't know what other values I'd like to change, as I don't know what the old values were.

Anybody got a Heist V0.8.1 laying around that they could upload to a dropbox or google drive?

- Mark

Shaker, I’m of one of the software developers for Heist. I can get you the original settings tomorrow. Gotta get ready for date night.
