Quoted from musketd:
Hey just remember I still have not even gotten to play it yet
Fly over and play it lol.
No problem brosky I just know not everyone on here is on facebook I hope the new code has a lot of updates. Hey just remember I still have not even gotten to play it yet
How do you know whats in the update? Let me guess you have to play the game and figure it out?
It would be nice to have a 3 line text document of the main changes.... that should take 2 minutes to make.
These are not public updates so to speak. People need to chill with there whats new shit. These are in house updates that we are very lucky to have access too. People need to stfu with the no comments comments.
This is EXACTLY why I didnt make it public on Pinside. EXACTLY! So yeah Derek thanks for that. I posted it on FB because i have FRIENDS who have the machine already. Not everything should be made public to pinside.
I think I've figured out how I can find the next update without help from Derek or the highly excitable Akumo...

Excitable has nothing to do with it. People get all ass hurt over others not posting videos and rule changes or how dare lyman go take a piss rather than right out a change log. Its very ungrateful is all. Sure it would have been posted sooner or later but its lame when people take a nice thing that does not have to be done and turn it into a bash fest of why lyman didnt do this or this.

Lots of secret club shit, that is not on pinside .

Amen to that. Guess I just need to evaluate my FB friends is all.

Hey, that's tricky. Slow down so I can figure out the pattern. 
Someone run this out of a shell.
#!/bin/bash
mymail="email@person.com"
currentver=105
count=105
while :
do
wget http://www.sternpinball.com/downloads/MTL"$count".zip
latest=ls -1art |tail -1 |cut -c 3-6
if [ "$latest" != "$currentver" ]
then
echo "Version $latest is now available"|mail -s "MET Update $latest" "$mymail"
exit 0
fi
sleep 1000
(( count++ ))
done

Lol alex alex alex auto update lol thats borderline stalking Lymans uploads. Is that the JJP way of doing things? I dont know if you are a official employee or not but everyone accostaites you with jjp. Might want to take that down. Sure its just a linux script but er......i dunno lol.
I am off to Mortimers.

LOL i have a metallica on order 
That is just a watcher for code updates since you guys said its incremental. Hell rewrite it to point at JJP's update server. I don't care 
No problem brosky I just know not everyone on here is on facebook I hope the new code has a lot of updates. Hey just remember I still have not even gotten to play it yet
Not yet but hopefully soon at my house you will. I sent you a text earlier message me back when you get a chance. Hopefully I'll see you soon with the new pin!
This makes me sad to be a manager. Software developers have all the fun!

Well now that this is out there I suspect Stern is smart enough to just simply put the code under a different name.
Be careful or a script like this could cause a DOS attack type situation.
This is the type of the thing that might make Stern NOT post code on their site.
At the very least, if anyone runs this, change the sleep to 1 hour.

Since this script only wait 1 second between iterations, if enough people run it, it could cause a DOS attack type situation.

it should have been 1000 seconds
It also stripped a whole bunch of quotes and ticks.. that code won't run.

Lol, no. It doesn't work like that.
has anyone noticed that several inserts are stuck on with the new code 1.6?
left ramp red arrow, right ramp snake insert, upper left skill shot lane, left loop cross insert, crank it up led on top of scoop, and a couple more... any light insert that has a yellow wire with purple stripe..

You could have a faulty mosfet. Check the light matrix to see if it's a row or column and which transistor is associated with it (Q-something)
Quoted from Profgrif:
does anyone know if another update is due out yet?
Supposed to be weekly updates I'm told.
You'll see the links posted here before you'll see them on Sterns site. I know that sounds odd doesn't it?
also anyone know what the Crank it up blue light does at the Mystery scoop or is that not working yet?
This game is so dang good i cant stop playing it
mnpinball, how do I get these weekly updates? I have tried Sterns site but the link doesn't work for Metallica
Myself or Mnpinball will post them as soon as we know about them. I am sure others will as well.
yes, the diverter should not be used at all with this game ever
Yes it should. We disabled it for a little while but the ball will literally never go to the pops without it. There is no center shot like in IM that will take the ball to the pops anyway if it is disabled. It needs to be activated. During combos it drops anyway to let the ball go all the way around the orbits.

5 games after doing this, I think I have to agree. It's too fricking fast to keep up for me. It's only good for the skill shot and you can disable the shot by holding the left flipper on plunging.
ok, if it drops and lets the orbits open I will enable it, does anyone know what the Crank it up Light on the Mystery scoop does?

Was wondering this too, I don't even thinks it's a feature enabled yet?

Are we talking about pinball code or the equation for making a nuclear bomb???

I believe the crank it up light is the mode start for the individual band member modes. They are not implemented yet.
