Sharing little info on things added to the next update v2.23, which is in the works at the mo but not yet released. Possibly an early 2021 release for it icon_smile.gif

----------------------

Attract - added More Speech to flipper button presses
Paris in Peril - Added more Speech
End of Ball - Added More Speech
Ball Save - Added mMore Speech
Secret Weapon - Added more Speech
Right Popper (Stroke of Luck) - Improved logic to fix a bug where a payback time award would conflict with a lit martian attack mode and result in no ball being kicked out for the payback time duration
Stroke Of Luck - Added new award - ‘Odd Change’
Stroke Of Luck - Added new award - ’10% Player Score’
Stroke of Luck - Improved Collect Bonus Integration. End of Ball Graphics now play when awarded aswell as receiving the score calculated

----------------------

I am also thinking about a new party mode that has popped into my head whilst relaxing over the xmas break.

I would like to hear peoples thoughts on it.

This would be a new Party Mode option added to the list of party modes and would be only for games where there are multiple players started.
The titled of it would be 'Score War' and the the Stroke of Luck shot would be changed to only give out either fixed point reduction for all other players or a percentage decrease of their scores. Everything else would be the same and the SOL would be lit & collected in the same way. Could be a fun option to play with your friends (if you know each other well!!)

Let me know what you think anyway.
 
Following on from you talking about unused speech, some adult. Is all the new speech from discovered unused speech?
Also was talk about adult speech on/off?

There are added speech calls in various places from some previously unused speech on the roms if thats what you mean?

Wondered if you added these unused speech you referred to in previous post "Might need a special adult mode at this rate, some of the things left out originally are, well ... ‘interesting"?

Yes i've added some of the more adult speech quotes in. Some of the ones in alien abduction might need an option to turn off, but thats all. Will see what the general feedback is then see for future updates.
 
Oh you superstar!

It’s great to see updates to this and I am truly grateful for the work you put in. Donation incoming !!

The CRT seems to of been slowly dying in my RFM, so fitted a flat panel, OMG the improvement is amazing. So on the high from this I took out the trough and installed @myPinballs 6 ball mod, very simple and easy to fit, it’s only taken me since November to get round to it. Also installed the V2.23 from V2.21 to enable the trough mod.

Look forward to playing some more when time allows.

Downloaded and installed and working fine. MANY THANKS!!! One question Jim. I have your "Knocker" mod fitted and noticed that when I was playing and achieved a "Credit" score the knocker sounded twice, POP..POP. Previously it only knocked once... is it just that I am so good that I get two credits or have you designed it to do that? ;-)

There may be an issue with 2 extra balls being given for 1 that i need to investigate. Another user reported this also.
