Welcome to Hawkins ... stranger things thread

New code! button works!

LE/PRE V1.02 - January 6, 2020
=====================

- Added game play tutorial videos to the attract mode.
- Added a Swipe-A-Ball award lamp effect and shaker effect.
- Added logic to allow the Swipe-A-Ball and Demogorgon Bomb display effects
to kill each other when awarded with 2 qualified lock down bar button presses.
- Added logic to disallow the lock down bar button from querying/awarding the
Swipe-A-Ball and Demogorgon Bomb rules during non-game play events,
i.e. bonus, test mode, attract mode, etc...
- Increased the volume of the Swipe-A-Ball award SFX.
- Added logic to disallow Demogorgon Bombs from being awarded during Final
Showdown Challenge.
- Added a new Swipe-A-Ball Display/SFX.
- Added logic to the lockdown bar button to independently handle multiple awards
at once, i.e. if both Swipe-A-Ball and Demogorgon Bombs are available at the
same time the game will recognize a quick button press as a Demogorgon Bomb
and a long button press as a Swipe-A-Ball award.
- Added logic to allow the lockdown bar button to flash LIGHT BLUE to reflect
the availability of the Swipe-A-Ball rule. (LE/Prem Only).
- Fixed a bug where some Demogorgons were not killed by a Demogorgon Bomb.
- Added a Demogorgon Bomb rule. This rule allows the player to kill the
Demogorgon, when available, by pressing the flashing RED lockdown bar button.
This feature is available once per game.
- Added speech to the Swipe-A-Ball event.
- Removed an unused adjustment.
- Added a new Swipe-A-Ball rule. This rule allows the player to "unlock" any
Telekinesis locked balls they have accumulated prior to starting Telekinesis
Multiball. Release the locked ball(s) by pressing the lockdown bar button
during a multiball event (and Snow Ball Dance).
- Note: Telekinesis rule ball lock progress is reset upon each Swipe-A-Ball use.
- Added a Swipe-A-Ball rule adjustment. Default setting = "Any Locked Ball".
Setting are:
"Off" - The rule is disabled.
"Physically Locked Balls" - Only balls physically locked on the back panel
by the player are added into play.
"Any Locked Balls" - Any balls locked (either on the back panel or trough)
by the player are added into play.
"Physically Locked Balls + Stealing" - Only balls physically locked on the back
panel by any player are added into play.
"Any Locked Balls + Stealing" - Any balls physically locked on the back panel
by any player, or balls in the trough are added
into play.
Note: A Ball Saver starts at the beginning of Swipe-A-Ball that will save any
earned locked balls, i.e. any stolen or unearned balls that are released/unlocked
are not saved upon draining. (this is a LE/Prem ONLY feature).
- Added topper light shows for modes/features.
- Fixed several topper lightshows.
- Fixed a problem that could occur where the background display effect would
be seen for one frame as the Mystery Award display effect finished and
transitioned to showing the given award display animation.
- Fixed a bug where the Mystery Advance Dart award was playing the wrong Dart
evolution sound effect.
- Fixed a bug where the game was playing the wrong pop bumper Dart evolution
 
Awesome. Glad they finally added the 'smart bomb' rule :) It was a no brainer really.

Whats the deal with this swipe-a-ball thing though??? I don't have that on the pro as I don't have locked balls on the backboard. Is it a something useful or not???
 
my lock board works 99% of the time. Its just with some weaker shots.

Cheers,
Neil.

Nabbed from Chuckwurt on Pinside:

"It’s essentially an add a ball feature to all multiballs that aren’t the TK MB

So if you lock a ball or two on the backboard for TK MB, then start total isolation or a Demogorgon multiball, the balls stay up there. Once during that MB you can press the center button and get those balls put into play and your ball save restarts.

I’m not sure if it’s once a game or unlimited. I haven’t played around with it a lot."
 
Yeah walking dead had the same issue - mylar...

From this week iepinball is streaming Stranger things with an epic setup first stream in the wee hours of tomorrow morning and then at the weekend.
 
Finally had the option to use swipe-a-ball!

Had two balls locked and when I got to total isolation I had the option to reclaim them.

Very cool!

Don't use them straight away though, I realised you can use them when you go down to one ball, it'll also activate the ball save again.

He's just started now pinball prowser has been updated, from pinside earlier today
"It's so hard to try and squeeze in new music with an already fantastic music package. I think my initial changes are spot on, and add to the experience.

But, I have made a custom mix for Telekinesis mode which is stock music for 40 seconds, then cross fades to "Should I Stay or Go". I'm not sure how this will play out, flashing my card now to test on my game."
 
Has anyone fitted the Premium UV kit to the Pro? I think I've read on Pinside it fits no problem, and for the same price you get a metal apron as opposed to a plastic one. Not a big deal but I'm hearing rumours this will be Stern's last run of them so I'd pick up either when/if I see them in stock.
 
I love that UV kit, I'm struggling to think of a better mod on any machine I've played. The projector is okay but I could live without it but I'd seriously miss that UV kit.

My only criticism is that the upside down is not long enough to enjoy more UV.
 
Yeah, I have to agree. I was critical of Stern charging extra for the UV Kit, but it didn’t stop me buying it (grin and take it moment) and I have to say it‘s amazing.

I am a fan of the show, but I have no idea what that thing in the middle is supposed to be.........

I think they copped out with more Demogorgan theme, I would have liked to have seen one with the other characters, like the kids on their bikes etc.

I think my money will be staying firmly in my pocket this time!
