Looking forward to the gameplay videos when they become available. Also, please post the link to the next project in here when it is time! I'm afraid I will miss something otherwise.

Quoted from grivin:

Hi Amigo !
I'm sure you struggle a lot with the mission pinball framework, I bet there is many exchanges with Brian and the MPF team.
I'm particularly interested by the software part, do you think you will share the Minion's code ?
It could be "the-very-best-of-mpf-tutorial" as I'm sure you cover a lot of rules, actions, lights, ...
I don't know if it's a possible great source of inspiration, or something too dark from someone who don't know exactly how the pinball work.
What do you think ?
Anyway, again, great job for what you did !

Vincent.

Yeah i've been thinking about doing a piece of topic about mpf and sharing the code.
If the code is neat and organised i will totally share with everybody,plus explain how it works.

Quoted from j_m_:

great work guys. so, what's next?

Curious george..
We are not done yet!

Quoted from Manimal:

Gentlemen, been following you from the start of the thread, like so many others here! Very well done! You made a lot of Friday fun for a lot of folks, and you cost a lot of employers valuable time from their employees who were refreshing the screen all day Friday to see your next episode!

Hahaha,yeah a fun ride it is.
It is great to make people laugh and have a good time together.

Quoted from Redknight87:

That is EPIC!!!!! Great work! The attention to detail is incredible!

Yeah he brushed the hell out of that wall right?
It is my favorite piece that Mic did.
Mainly because it was a brutal amount of hours that went in and he really had the determination to finish what he started.
Just my kind of crazy.

Don't worry Desertt1,we won't leave you hanging

#3204 7 years ago
Quoted from pinballrockstar:

Thanks,it is a quest by now..
And you know what sucks the most?
I have to lock two balls in order to start multiball,wait for the ball save to expire,then toss the balls in the through,only to find out the light stays on again
It is so time consuming.
Earlier on i had an issue with the wizard mode,had to play all 6 games by hand for over a hundred times in order to start the wizard mode so i could see if my adjustment repaired the problem
Went borderline fruity...

Bas, You can run mpf in simulation mode for testing your modes. With the mpf monitor, you can load an image of your playfield, place your lights and switches on it and test on it very quickly.

You can also set up things like shortcut keys - like pressing 'W' on the keyboard completes the 6 modes for wizard.

If you need any help, let me know.

Oh that is way better,where were you a year ago!
Is that in version 0.3 or in 0.21 too?
I am still a bit anxious to upgrade to 0.3.
Everything works so good right now.
I am planning the next build on 0.3 from the start...way easier.

#3211 7 years ago

Just finished showering my beer and boom!
Good day for my wallet!
Sold acdc luci to a real cool guy from France(pulseman),had an appointment with him at dinner time...an absolute pleasure to deal with him,sadly he had to roll back fast..we talked a good half hour of pinball before he had to drive the 3 hour drive back to his place.
He came prepared with a very good pinball lifter.
Always a pleasure to meet another pinballer,he was so happy with luci.

I love my list table, but I hate picking it up to put it in the trunk. I move pins to and from my location by myself normally. Thinking about getting a second lift to keep there, but don't really have a good spot to hide it.

It takes space too,but man it is handy!
I myself carried 200 pinballs through the years .. a bit too late to get one now

#3216 7 years ago

We have to take one step backwards this week,we cracked the mylar sheet while bending it up to collect dust that was trapped there...but!
No sweat,we depopulate the playfield in an hour or so.

#3217 7 years ago

#3220 7 years ago

Damn that sucks about the mylar! I just hate when shit like that happens!

#3221 7 years ago

Way to go Bas & The Amigos! It's Friday!

#3222 7 years ago
Quoted from SUPERBEE:

Yeah awful,but the crack has side cracks,so it is over and done.
It does not matter,we take two steps forward and one step back every time..but if you do the math,that is also a path to the finish.

#3226 7 years ago

#3229 7 years ago

Lol some drilling dust settled for the letter "E".
We don't care doing the mylar over,we need to clean the playfield too...
I drilled some holes with the playfield in upright position,the dust fell onto the backboard and when putting the playfield in the machine,the dust creeped under the mylar.
You cannot forsee this sh!t

I Still like that Whiskey Barrel Table you guys made! 3 glasses , 7-up - Looks like JD & 7 tonight?

#3238 7 years ago

nice work on the strip down.

after copying as a template,I would be even tempted to draw up in cad or send to your cnc buddy to draw up and have on file for future reproductions - alot of valuable information there.

#3249 7 years ago

Great thread for a friday night as always.

#3250 7 years ago

Use petg rather than acrylic as you can bend it up without it cracking. You at least have a template for a future one.
