Selling my Rob Zombie LE about 75 to 100 plays, mint condition. Updated code. Just don't play it. Pm me if interested

So this cracked me up. I thought there might be two stuck but was amazed there are three. They are wedged just perfectly that the up kicker can't touch a ball and no amount of shaking was fixing it.

Anybody have an issue with their game acting like its "shorting out" while playing , audio and video both fade out for a second or two , always comes back from it and doesn't lose any game info
Thanks

How did you fix - this happened to me today

I just used an extendable magnet and pulled the balls out. I haven't decided what to do long term. I think it's happened one other time with two.

My thought is I probably need to add something extending from the cage down so two balls can't get wedged there.

Thanks

Ok. I'm either seeing a bug or have something odd going on. Sometimes when playing, the lock lights and cross lights just go dark. Then it seems like a mode changes and they start working again.

On another note. I saw where during living dead girl if I get the bonus going by shooting the upper playfield the bonus lights continue to Flash after the mode has ended. Is the bonus supposed to continue???

I had one double feed into the trough on ball three of a game after I noticed the light issue above. Only one I've seen and I've been playing a bunch.

I did get my mods and mirror blades on too. Been a RZ sort of week.

I also had the lock lights go out the other night. Thought something was broken at first but then they turned back on. I can't recall what modes I was in or had just started but that seemed to be the cause (overlapping modes?)

There could be playfield light animations playing and interfering with mode lights. I'd have to see it in action before confirming.

I just had it happen on ball one with no mode started. I'll keep an eye out and see if I can figure out what is triggering it.

Btw. Is the liquor shot coded yet? Swear I have hit it and not sure it did anything. Seems to be working because I can hit it during one of the modes and it registers.

Liquor shot? You mean spamming my the ramp 6 times then shooting right orbit? It should start G Ober. Assuming you are on V20

I've seen this a few times too.

Yes, OK I saw GOBER start once (on V21), but doesn't seem to start consistently. I wonder if that switch isn't registering at highspeeds. I'll pay more attention since I know what its supposed to do now.

Happens to me too.

Fawzma gave me the latest beta, but I still saw this occur once. I think those lights going off is definitely a bug. I'm hoping to play some more tonight and see what happens.

It may be related to the living dead girl mode or workup to the mode. I know I didn't ever hit the orbit to start one of those modes when it happened.

[EDIT] Not a bug, read below... I just wasn't understanding what was happening.

I've been making it a mission to correct the playfield anytime a ball gets stuck instead of just removing it.

If anyone else gets a ball stuck on top of the pop bumper cap for the robot, simply loosen the plastic over the cap and place it on top of the clear plastic protector that is supposed to stop balls from getting stuck. This lets the ball roll better because everything is angled. I can get a pic if this doesn't make sense.

My next one is this picture. I'm hoping a simple round plastic protector from CPR on the screw will be enough. Otherwise I'll have to make a clear plastic to extend over the post. This one was stuck good.

It seems to happen when a hurry up is started . ( hitting the 2 blue standups on the right ) I thought it was done on purpose to focus your attention to the hurry up .I was still able to lock a ball even though my lock light was not lit at this time .

This wass the intention. I am going to move the lock lights out like I did with the chop lanes.

Yep that seems to be it. Just doesn't feel quite right when all the other lights on the playfield are still flashing in the center etc.

To focus attention you could try animating all the playfield lights over to the hurry up (right to left) and then animating those lights going up and then flashing the hurry up and arrow quickly. Something like that might get you to look that way on the playfield and not just look like some went out.

On a side note. Whatever sound is being played when you switch the selectable modes seems to be pretty distorted when the bass is up. I've been playing the game a little louder and trying to balance the bass/treble. I'll play with that some more.

That was a complaint I've heard from others ... there is a block of bass noise that is about 2 secs long when a mode starts that blasts the machine.

rd

the mode select sound is a sfx of a radio tuning to a new station type sound.

That sound comes out distorted and rattles the cabinet. Is there a way to lower the volume or just remove it?
I'm just checking it's the bass sound that is played just as the ball is kicked out of the vuk. Beginning of the mode.

Fawzma you are doing a great job I appreciate all the work your doing love the robots and American witch animations.
This game is really coming along great I just need to learn how to play better pinball its a ball buster.

I like that idea. Maybe it's just to deep and needs to be resampled to a higher pitch? Maybe cut out everything under 100hz or whatever the crossover top limit is on the amp. When it comes across it seems to add a huge amount of bass and just distort/rattle everything.

I just added a couple layers of anti rattle tape to the glass so will try playing again in a few minutes and see if that helps. Helped a lot with the jukebox.

I hope none of this comes out as complaining just trying to pass along observations. Having a good time playing the new code and appreciate all the work.

This may be one of the biggest understatements. It's a mean game but I keep hitting start.

Yep , I am very much addicted to this game . It gives me a glimmer of hope and then crushes me . And I love it for that . It makes having a great game on Rob Zombie is very rewarding .

Same here. I completed 4 modes the other day on my first game and felt I was gonna have a good session. Very next game I scored under 1 million.

Game is an ass kicker but a damn fun one. Can't wait to see everything else we have in store to round this game out code wise.

I finally completed 1K corpses with 1001 corpses. Woo hoo! I did not think I was going to make it...

Pussy Liquors is still a tough shot to hit consistently.

I'll be move the v21 beta back into stable as soon as I hear back from a couple people. So far it looks like that chronic double eject issue is fixed.

Agree. Hardest shot in the whole game and it's necessary to advance jackpots. I dont think there is a way to consistently hit that. Seems more like you try and sometimes you get lucky.

Very difficult shot messed up many attempts to finish American witch.

For whatever reason I combo'd the right orbit on several occasions last night. Better to be lucky than good I suppose

Nice! Feels pretty good to get there for sure . Did you have to get to corpses multiball twice or did you get them all with one multiball? I usually need to get corpses multiball twice to collect enough .
Yeah that right orbit is the toughest shot in the game , I got the left one nailed down, but the right one not so much .

In a rare occurrence, I got it on the first attempt @ 1K corpses. I usually don't try for that mode because it isn't my favorite. Scores pretty well though. I will definitely be trying for it when playing it during pinball league. Normally, I go for modes, especially Goobr. I think this was a clever addition to the game.

I was getting ready to host a pinball tournament last weekend and one of the things I do with all my games is tighten the tilts. I noticed on RZ that quick hits were not always registering. During the tournament people were getting away with some strong shakes where you could hear the bob hit the ring but warnings weren't always registering. A friend of mine came up with a solution that seems to work well so far. Basically he added a small capacitor.

Here's a pic and an explanation. https://www.reddit.com/r/pinball/comments/6vkejn/i_modded_a_rob_zombie_because_it_wasnt/

Software requests: On a related note I also noticed that I would not always get a tilt warning on the display when one was given. There would be an audio call out but I think any tilt warning should also always display. Also, the tilt bob does not work while the ball is in the shooter lane. Is this by design?

Bally used to have capacitors on its switches for the same reason ... so the quick hits registered properly. Mind you, their CPU power was less than a Casio watch, so I'm sure the PinHeck board can sense them better.

Tilt does not work properly....i have access to 3 machines - they are all the same - i know some kind of software fix is in the works.

Hmmm, wasn't aware of a software fix coming, I hope you are correct. Good thing about this mod is that it was cheap and easy, and it can be easily removed when/if their is a software fix.

I have have been doing more updates on v21.. i was working on tilt stuff today among other things.

There was an initial fix for the phanton tilts.. but I never removed all the extra stuff I put in to help combat it.

Had this issue. Start LDG with drop target up. Knock down drop target during LDG. Drain out of LDG and drop never returns up and can never lock ball for H1K no matter how many times I hit the lock shot. I would guess I looped it through at least 10 times with no lock??

Version 20?

Yes V20

I will however will say I can not emulate it with glass off last 15 minutes. I have noticed it twice during game play?
I will say that I Love the Update Fawzma.

I'm certain this is already noted but when I'm playing in a multi ball and drain both simultaneously with the ball save light flashing a lot of times it will only kick out one ball and end the multiball. Is this a product of how the trough is set up?

The code is really getting awesome with so much that's been added. I'm really enjoying the game.

I'm thinking it should be like that any way...It's "Ball" save, not "Balls" save. Usually when a ball save is activated, it goes away. Not active for subsequent balls.
