Just read this... please elaborate! I go for the chapters because I didn't realise there was much else to do... would love to know what 'going for the sixes' is all about!!

If you get all 6 multi balls going at same time. 5 movies and tortuga you get a cool bonus. If you haven’t done it yet it is a blast to achieve.

I've had 2 or 3 running at the same time, but I'm sure not 6... when they start following each other I get a bit lost as to what's running... I find it hard to tell how close I am to starting a multiball, there's probably an indication of how many shots are needed to start them, but I've not noticed that... the chest is obvious of course... and I thought there were only 5 MBs... clearly I need educating more on this game

Yellow: Boat spinners, load target, sink in cannon, shoot boat. Then shoot left orbit to start.
Green: Lock 3 balls in the chest
Blue: 5 non-consecutive loops
Red: All 9 major shots hit, then maelstrom
Purple: Spinner rips to the depths shot
Tortuga: 50 gold then shoot the scoop

Yellow and purple are the hardest to do during multiball so try and tee those up first before popping off all the crazy.

This is the 'On Stranger Tides' one if I'm not mistaken...

I've noticed on mine that I can hit consecutive loops and that MB will start... maybe it's a settings thing, or I've got old code...

So the Tortuga is not linked to a wizard mode then I take it... I think I need 45 gold for mine

Regarding the spinner rips to The Depths... is there any way to tell how close you are to starting that? Or On Stranger Tides for that matter...? Or the Maelstrom... maybe on the display...?

Factory settings for Tortuga MB is 50 gold, but it's adjustable.

Multiball progress is tracked on the map on the LCD. If you look closely, you can see the colored paths completing on the map as you progress towards each MB.

Progress toward starting each is shown on the screen. Graphically on the map for each of the 5 movie multiballs and via gold count in lower right corner for Tortuga (need 50 to activate saucer shot to start 1st, 100 for second, ...).

And when you have triggered the 6 multiball you will hear a great sound like when you won the jackpot at the casino !! It's too good

Cool!! In that case I've definitely never done that!! I notice from your quote of me I'm suddenly able to write in French

With Google traductor you are able to write in all the languages ​​of the world

This exchange between possibly the ONE thing I really like about the Internet: a guy from Czech and a guy from France can talk to one another about an amazing game! Haha

And then rolling over activated switch further up in Depths area. This last part can be a challenge as the ball doesn't always trigger this switch due to the geometry of the turnaround area. I needed to bend the guide rail (next to the switch) inwards on my game to improve this.

Number of spins translates to how far along the required path on the screen that the ship travels. Much like the ring traveling (via spinner hits) in Hobbit. Multiball requirement is reduced if you're playing the Captain Armando Salazar character.

And I'm looking forward to the new code with the integrated scorebit. Throwing challenges to players all over the world on the same machine must be awesome !!! I will have to make friend requests on this thread ... I hope there will be some

Code?

On Wednesday

Looks like Wednesday came and went. Was really Hoping for something to happen at Expo

Yeah me too! I guess we will continue to keep up hope.

When is the knocker used for this game? Is it only for grand champion?

Wow. Had such an amazing game again yesterday! Still love the action and everything that is happening. Gibbs is the best with all the callouts to me! Thank you so much for all the work that has been put in this game!

I'm on the hunt for two mods that a friend of mine has that came with his used Pirates.

-Cannons that fit on the sides of the ramp to the Pearl. I've seen some shorter ones, these are long and thin.

-Starfield map that covers the back board, compatible with the LE

Does anyone know where these are?

Pinball mod company for the star map and some other very nice mods

https://pinballmods.co/

Just FYI on the star map - it is fairly complicated to install (even more so if you have the Lior Dauntless mod), and it doesn’t really add much to the game. The (optional) extra lights aren’t terribly visible unless you set them to Go Crazy mode, and the backboard is easy to scratch so be careful. Also, to install the mod, the main star map circuit board is pressed right up against the wood, without a spacer. I just didn’t like this very much.

It’s a nice mod though, just set your expectations thusly! And IMO don’t bother with the extra lights

Thanks for report about, im wondering if i will buy it or no...

I've been wondering for a while, but it didn't shock anyone the official CE visual and reality?

the color of the armor is totally different ...
in reality it is very very dark almost black while the flyer is really khaki green and I find this color so much better!

I installed the star map with the lighting option on my SE and the rendering is really great. The lights illuminate well I think. On the other hand, on the LE, the contrast with the already existing card does not seem to me to be the right compromise. It is better to leave the original card or remove it completely and put the full mod of the SE. it s just my opinion.

Very good point! I should have made clear that I have an LE and I can see how it would make a greater difference on the SE.

And I want to be clear Im not trashing Harry’s mods at all - I had just set my expectations far too high for this star map upgrade

The CE is definitely a sea green in my opinion.

Thanks for the heads up. I watched the install video and pretty quickly changed my mind on it.
Still looking for those cannons though.

IT HAPPENED!!! A new release is imminent!!

Really!? Where did you see that? I can’t wait to explore this game all over again!

Holy crap! Just checked telegram (beta sign up)!
Thanks Rdoyle1978 for the heads up!

Ok I'm not promising there's anything other than Scorbit updates, (I'm still downloading), but still, who cares!

From where ? Not on the website.

LTG : )

It is in the telegram channel from the JJP Open beta program. Being beta, it is not officially on the site yet.

Beta program sign up info here:
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/jjp-open-beta-program#post-6225712

Btw, is there an achievement for answering @LTG?

I was in there. But telegram kept not letting me in so I gave up.

Yes. When beelzeboob has a day off. You get to be the official boob for a day.

LTG : )

It was just a matter of time.

Thanks for the heads up!

Awesome! Downloading from the Meijer parking lot! Psyched to get home and see what’s what!

Yep sorry, I’ve just been waiting to connect this all up.
Worked pretty flawlessly! Not sure what to expect since it’s a beta, but some bugs surely remain to be squashed

Would someone please upload to a Dropbox and let the rest of us Poor schleps get access? They’ve never allowed me in the beta

What is the version number?

I believe it’s version 1b. There are some score balancing changes but the biggest change is Scorbit integration, which is very cool. You can see your score adding up in real time on the scoreboard

Also it does wipe out your high score table!

What do you mean? We don't exclude anyone from beta.

JJP has been very good about adding people into the Telegram group; I really like it because we get these interesting insights into the games that there's no way we ever would have before. Plus, updates!

Once you update your game with this latest version, you can add a Wifi dongle and opt into beta code updates as well. Win-win!

Sign up for the Telegram account and the link is in the chat room

Could someone give me the procedure for integrating the new code? In fact I have never updated and I don't know where to go or how to do it !!

https://marketing.jerseyjackpinball.com/general/install-full/

dr_light Does this include the character balances in the last beta? I didn't get much time on it last night, but on the telegram posts it wasn't really clear to me if the character changes were included in this beta version.

Thanks

BTW: this update is frickin awesome

Sonuvabitch I’m even considering getting a couple Scorbit boards for my other games

Thank you
