No, you're ok. That's when it resets. If you had a 30 second mode that got down to 2 seconds left, and you successfully hit the AT shot, the clock would reset to 30 seconds for you to do a bit of scoring on the galactic award you have just activated with that shot. Those numbers might not be exact, it's difficult to look at the DMD while doing this, lol, but that's the idea.

Me four on sending the movie music bin.

That sounds pretty cool! That definitely makes the tier 1 modes more interesting than they were. They were completely lacking in risk/reward, now it's there.

Finally had a good game.
Double Super Jackpot on Klingon Multiball is awesome.
I finally figured out why I was having so much trouble hitting the Warp ramp shot. My boulder was loose (screw halfway out) and the boulder was leaning down enough that it would interfere with a majority of the shots. I got to warp 9.2
Bug- The laser stayed on after Klingon MB ended and didn't turn off until I drained the ball.
I have to say after getting sometime on the game the code update is great.

Well done!

Another thing about the warp shot, if you're using those crappy super bands or whatever on the upper flipper, it'll mess with the design of the shot and make it increasingly harder. Stay factory for that flipper, black rubber.

Yep I have the factory rubbers on. No superbands here.

I did notice when I was playing Destroy the Drill I hit the last shot with the multicolor/flashing insignia and it gave me 3.2 mil or so points which I thought was huge for that shot. My total was 4.2 or 4.3 mil for the Mode. Not sure if I had double scoring on or it is a bug. I'm not sure how points are calculated for those last shots for modes when they are flashing.

I saw that also. There will surely be a bug fix release or two soon after such a massive update.

I don't now about the pro but the Klingon mufti ball start on the le has to be one if not the best MB start of any game ever,the sound effects with the shaker really feelsl like you we're hit buy a Klingon ship and the whole effect with the laser and black out is just flat out fantastic

Not a bug. It was there on the old code. Some of the multicolor shots score big. Combo it and it's even greater.

I was just saying the same thing to a friend. Those few seconds are really intense and pump you up for what is about to come.

the klingons multi balls build up is also pretty awesome on the pro.

I would like this as well please...

Fantastic. Tons of new stuff, but like everyone has said already some of the karl speech is a little flat. But it could be the volume issue with it too. And after playing more and more its less noticeable.
KMB lightshow is outstanding, rescue, galactic modes etc.
Are all awesome additions.

The only thing I noticed is some modes still lack sound fx to match the animations on the DMD.
This would make those modes far more exciteing. (Future update i hope)

And after how good the start of klingon multiball is now, the vengence multiball start sequence lights seems like it needs better treatment.

But overall its a blast to play.

Indeed, especially with my new external sub hooked up. I've never seen the Premium one with the laser, but it must be nuts.

man i need to get me one of those.

I have the Flipper Fidelity system with the oversized woofer and it does just fine.

'Crappy Super Bands' here. I can hit it just fine.

Those who want the movie music should follow the procedure in the thread. It's not that bad and a few people have already done it. The good thing is that once you have edited the music, you can re-use the music with any new released code. As you can imagine, sharing the BIN is a problem because it would contain copyrighted music.

For a lot of us who are not computer savvy that thread might as well be written in Klingon...

Of course Ieft for Houston (LSU game) just an hour before this was released. Will be Monday night before I can play it. Sounds amazing though.

I think maybe you misunderstand what I'm saying ( not that it is important at all). I want tge punch it button to work for torpedoes and mission select, just not launching my ball. Not sure how that 'handcuffs' me. ?

You can just use the shooter rod.

Go Badgers! Oh sorry.

Good Luck LSU! Hope you have fun TigerLaw.

My name is bemmett and I too use "Crappy Super Bands" and hit it just fine.

Had the "crappy Super Bands" on my STLE without issue as well. Have them on most of my pins.

Pretty good update, but nothing on Metallicas'.

Sounds like a SuperBands Support Group Meeting.

Do the apron lights do anything?

thanks for the nice explanation, I am a slow player. I mean I'll play like 10 games on a machine in a week (or less) so I don't see a lot of this as soon as some of you guys so it helps if I know what to look for.

I just don't understand what you mean about if you are about to make the final shot to end the mission... (could you explain what you mean?)

I'm trying to make the call outs louder but the adjustment does not seem to relate. I mean if I set it higher it sounds lower and vice versa. Also some 'voices' like in the intro don't seem to get louder in the same way as the 'call outs'. Am I doing something backwards?

Negative numbers are higher, positive are lower.

has anyone noticed a difference with the balls getting stuck on magnet during vengeance multi ball??? read me says there is a code change that addresses this issue, just wondering if it has helped anybody...

also what about "captains chair" does this mean anything other than I got 3 in a row?

Seems a lot smoother to me.

Then help out! I have attempted to make it clear, but if you have problems at any point, PM me and I will help. Hopefully that also results in a more idiot proof set of instructions.

You can at start by downloading those free programs and installing them.

been trying to understand this change. Does it mean you can select a new mission after the final shot or only if the final shot is to the start mission lock?

thanks..I am going to begin to re read everything posted and see if I can figure it out but I will probably have to pm you at some point.

I got my STLE last month from a fellow pinsider who had already added the movie soundtrack and now with the code update I have lost the music and really want it back.

If you hit the left lane as the final shot, it will now let you select the next mission immediately.

If you have Away Team lit, it will now function as a final shot (I don't believe it did previously). Hitting it will finish the mission and let you select the next one immediately.

Likewise, if you hit the left lane with the third lock lit, you get to select a mission before Klingon MB starts.

thanks, and how do you start Galactic event?

so do you play the mission before Klingon MB or at the same time as MB?

Not a problem. I'm rather eager to see what I can do to make the instructions more clear. No better way to do that than to have a fresh set of eyes trying it out.

The game feels so natural with the soundtrack music - I can't even remember what the original Stern music sounds like!

Struggling with volume control. Factory setting just too loud so I backed of music and voice (15/15) but it sounds like there is no change with the sound effects.(Still too loud and covering up voice). What am I doing wrong? Didn't have this problem with the last code.

+1

Releases when its suppost to at timers end and when a ball hits it. Works perfect

Galactic events: in any tier one mission, hit three lit shots. This lights away team. Make that shot and the galactic event starts.

I cannot confirm the the multiball as I haven't gotten in that situation yet, but I'm pretty certain you will start the mission and multiball at the same time, thus avoiding the old code problem where you can start the multiball in "no mans land" between missions.

I've had a near 100% rate of the ball getting stuck with Vengence multiball. After several games with the new code, I've had 100% success with the ball releasing. Seems like they have found a software solution to the problem. I've been hoping that would happen after the warp ramp chase lights were fixed in software and all the hardware changes for the magnet issue haven't worked for me. Just hope it's gone for good.

I had a ball get stuck today. It's rarely been a problem on my machine since I twisted the opto wires, but the code change either didn't fully fix the problem, or didn't address my exact issue.

Thanks but mine has always been on 'standard settings' from day dot apart from changing it to Free Play and turning off the horrific replay screech. The Air balls were 2 going for the warp ramp at Warp 5 and a couple in the lower playfield. No slingshots involved.

Finally made it home and installed the update. Haven't really had a chance to dig in yet, but initial impressions are solid.

If you were expecting a Metallica like transformation, where the whole game really changed you might be disappointed. If you thought it was a good game with some flaws that kinda of ruined it then I think you should be really pleased.

It's the same game, but smoothed out. The Away Team shot is a definite game changer, you *want* to play the Level 1 modes now to try and get it. The clearest indication of change is I'm no longer annoyed when I get the Black Hole aware for more time on a Level 1, it just means there's more chance for Away Team.

Combining the final shot to the mode start shots with being able to start the next mode really speeds things up too, it's a super welcome change.

Biggest let down so far is the Karl Urban speech. Man, he phoned that in big time. It's super obvious he just didn't care about pinball and really bothering to do a strong performance, which is a shame. If I was Ritchie and Stern I'd try a trick out of the Thiel book from earlier in the pin's life, and try speeding up his quotes without pitch shifting them. Might help a lot of they were faster, make up for some of the deadpan, almost lazy sounding speed at which he's reading.

Still, it's not a big deal, and it's cool to have them for sure. Beats anything Lars did, and the Metallica quotes have all grown on me. So I'm not worried.

Looking forward to playing some more!

I'm also seeing some bugs, I'll document more as I get more time, but I'm hoping we see a little update to this soon to fix issues that crop up with wide play testing.

i never had balls get stuck until the new code,now i am looking at the optos and they are both fine in test,

I wasn't having a problem before the update. Now, with the update, most of the time the second ball hits the first on the magnet and takes its place on the magnet, trapping both of them. A third ball releases, but I need to shake the machine to release the other balls. They are not magnetized so I'm not sure what is going on. Kind of a bummer.
