Still having a few issues in the latest beta when a game is aborted and restarted. None that bother me too much, but I figured Id report them.

about 70% of the time if a game is aborted and another game is begun, the skill shot for ball 1 player 1 is not available. no light in the lanes, and secret skillshot does not work.

on rare occasion a pop bumper hit will cause the shaker motor to become stuck on. destroying a reactor usually fixes this, but not always. This seems to happen more if the game has had aborted and restarted games since its power cycle

I am in! Just picked this up today!!

Thank you for this. I will look into these issues and get them fixed.

What is the safest way to hook up a powered external sub?

Finally beat Total Power Annihilation! Almost did it with a spare ball, but with 1 target left the Powerball made a screaming fast B line for the drain, as they do.

Anyone know if there are still NIB TNA's at some distros?

None that I'm aware of

Of all games, I can't imagine this one needing an extra sub! I have never even thought of needing more sound or bass outta this thing!

I emailed KT and she didnt know of any either. By listing a WTB here on Pinside I found mine, which is practically new. There may be someone sitting on a NIB but I doubt it.

I have had my game a while now. I love it, and have never updated any code. So, is it an ongoing beta thing or will there be a "final" version once the kinks are worked out?
I had considered updating, just to see what changed, bit it seems like it would be kinda quirky.

I updated to beta a few days ago. Plays fine. I did experience an odd E6 error during a multi-ball but it didnt seem to affect gameplay. Testing beta and giving feedback only makes a game better.
You can always downgrade code.

Eb = Extra ball

Now that's funny. thought I broke smth.

If you can't tell I have not put a ton of plays on TnA yet.

Lol! That is hysterical!

Oh man, that is awesome!!! I was thinking to myself.... What is an E6 error? I programmed the damn thing.... I thought I was losing my mind.

If you guys are seeing balls fly off the shooter lane launch ramp by default on the new beta code, just turn down the coil power for the shooter lane and you will be good to go.

I will be getting right back to developing the new code as soon as I can.

Thank you!

Thank YOU, Scott! Always appreciate and enjoy your willingness to continuously improve an already awesome game!

Awesome !

TheNoTrashCougar I'm getting Drop Target 1 down error. However the switches and optos work for all the drop targets and it doesnt seem to affect play. What am I missing here?

Reset the error report and see if it is still an issue. This indicates that a switch is probably flaky. You can just replace the switch or ignore the issue.
--Scott

I've been ignoring it, and I've reset it a couple times. It definitely registers though. Just not sure why it shows up since it does register.

Scott,
Do you expect a new run of TNA’s in the future?

Spooky said if there was demand and time between games they would consider another run

My siderail light mod went dark today anyone have advice as far as components that might fail etc?

Reach out to the company that made the mod.

Yes, I did. Just figured someone here might have found an easy thing to check. When something isn't right in my pinball world, it throws my universe out of whack!

Without owning the lighted rails myself, I would check all connectors that power it. Beyond that, I would tend to think it would be a problem with the mod itself.

check the connection to the control box and where the box gets its power

Good thinking thanks, if anyone knows of a distro with a nib left, or has a low play huo game they want to sell, please send me a PM

So Scott said (on KPP) that he’s planning on revisiting some of TNA’s light shows using the knowledge he’s gained from R&M. Some point down the road with a code update.

Very interesting little tid-bit of info! I’m super curious to see what he comes up with... especially because I think TNA’s lighting is top shelf!

It would just be minor things to make everything a bit more cohesive. I know the guy that made the lightshows, so this is confirmed.

Really awesome, Scott! Let us know when the code is ready to download!

Calm down, your games are all pretty solid as is. Lets let the man work on R&M for a while...

Yeah, I was playing mine yesterday and thought to myself, this game seems to lack cohesiveness.

You're killin me, Smalls!

lol. Eric and Bowen primarily work on R&M from what I understand, so Scott has tons of free time on his hands now

Just sharing my excitement for his continued support on code for a game that, in most people's eyes, is 100% complete.

Hey @thenotrashcougar,

Now that you clearly have a ton of free time, any chance this update will have lighting options for Clear targets. I seriously can't wait for your clear target kit.

Scott spend as much time as you want on the lighting. What a canvass you have to work with - every single lamp is RGB....think of the possibilities...

- Colors getting more intense as reactor gets more unstable (or as more destroy targets are hit)
- GI turning red fading in and out after reactor counter reaches 100 until reactor is destroyed
- Lighting effects for hitting drop targets (jackpots) during multiball (I don't think there an effect already? never noticed...but for the points these give out, it should be more prominent)
- All lighting blue to white GI explode effect like on Dialed In big bang (the one lighting effect they absolutely nailed) when reactor destroyed
- Increase blinking speed of important lights (this one probably doesn't require a PhD in pinball lighting but would be helpful for novices - guests often don't know they need to hit the Start reactor scoop)

Sure, Rick and Morty is cool and spend the time you need to on it, but it's just 750 people. On the other hand, think of the hundreds of millions of people that will experience TNA and surely you'll agree that's where the attention should be.

Just got in the coolest club 2 weeks ago. Awesome game, destroyed reactor 9 already.

Don't really know if Scott is reading actively here but I had a small idea for 1.4
Sometimes when MB starts, you can get a super-jackpot straight if you either shoot fast on the fly or with a weird bounce. Would be awesome if that would be considered as a Dirty Pool, and let's say, doubles the value of next super for 30 secs.

Been loving this game, thanks again!
And can't wait to try Rick And Morty!

Kaboom!

Upgraded the monitor to this cheap $55 monitor + $28 control board on Amazon so a little more than $80 bucks and the display is much more saturated and has better viewing angles and not so washed out. Factory monitor is junk. Was actually very easy to swap out.

My pop Bumper finally "self dissembled" on me after about a year of owning it. I haven't frequented this thread much over the past but luckily I found some posts that had the same thing happen to their game so now I know the order in which these go back on the pop bumper. Now to find the other nylon locking nut, It seems to be playing a really good game of hide and seek...

It happened to me too. No biggie, put it back together and put some locktight on the threads and you'll be set.

anyone getting a crazy amount of dimples where the ball lands after the scoop?

TheNoTrashCougar

Here’s what new code needs. High scores for coop mode. I have a couple of buddies that come over every wed and we play coop mode. It would be nice to track how far we get and have some high scores or something similar to single player.

That's already in there. Think it only keeps track of one score though, if I remember right...

Just fix the coin audits everything else is perfect.
