writing new rules for DM - still in beta but here is a video of my 2nd video mode

#7 11 years ago

what would you suggest for video mode changes?
Moving super jackpot not really possible since there is a sign above right ramp.
Claw modes are different on my code - freeze is eliminated. maybe you will still find it easy though. You can set the machine on hard if you like. Fonts are being checked out now actually, so hopefully we can come up with something more to everyone's liking. Haven't found the exact same ones in the game yet. Thanks for the kind words and hopefully this takes the game up a few notches.

Thanks Chris - the shooting gallery video mode code is set up for max of 3 bullets at a time.

The beta testers requested a shooting type video mode and the game does have gun handles so that makes sense, but I get that the aliens are out of place. I am thinking to change out the aliens for something different from the movie to shoot at. Any other ideas?

As for the appearance of the mode, I understand no one wants too many video modes in a pinball machine because it is a pinball machine not an arcade game. I had the same problem with Dr Who. The VMs are actually pretty rare how I have it set now. It doesn't look that way in the youtube video because I had the machine in test mode so they would keep coming up. Currently the VMs are awarded by collecting a certain amount of combos, just like the computer awards, except the computer award is collected at the subway while the VMs are collected at either the eject saucer or the top popper. There are 2 different VMs and I suspect that a typical game might see one of them or maybe 2 on a 3 ball game.

Oh and by the way - thanks for the suggestion about baddies firing back - I will be incorporating that so that the player is forced to move. Don't know why I didn't think of it.

All the other modes and multiballs have been written already and are completed by the way.
Thanks again for all your input.
