Beta 1.31 #5

This is an old build.

http://androidfiles.pinballarcade.com/beta/AndroidPinballActivity1.31BETA_v5.apk

And here are the changes:

- The LCD displays have been changed back to the way they were to improve performance.
- The "Talking" flashers on the people should be fixed
- The ball shouldn't be getting stuck on the ramp anymore

----- For Testers -----

This Beta is mostly to help determine if there will be any performance issues with the LCD fix implemented that now displays on the back glass as well as the HUD.

----- Mobile Bug List -----
• Ball is not aligned in the plunger
• The scoreboard on the backglass is not scaled properly and doesn't fit in the cutouts.
• The plunger faceplate on the front of the machine currently has no texture and should be chrome.
• The plunger cover graphic is also visible under the plunger box.
• The orange rectangular cover caps at the top of the criss-cross ramps are not modeled correctly.
• The screw attaching the left transparent plastic ramp to the backwards L-shaped chrome bracket is missing.
• Playfield looks flat and needs baked-in lighting like High Roller Casino currently has.
• Several lamp textures need to be updated.
• The juke box is missing it's front texture.
• Several plastic covers lack transparency.
• Extra Ball goal is not rewarding in every scenario.
• Cameras need to be updated
• When customers speak, the flash breaks the texture.
• Table render background is too dark.
• Music begins to loop if paused during certain audio files
• Left ramp collision is lifting the ball which triggers the right ramp switch
• The ball sometimes goes through the ball lock area and doesnt lock.
• The ball is getting stuck on the left ramp at the crossing.



----- End Tester Notes -----
• CV: Judges are all the same in Cirques Voltair
• FP: Firepower sometimes does not end the game correctly after draining three balls.
• HRC plunger needs to be lowered.
• HRC is requesting to update whenever entering the table.

----- What's New -----
• Table of the month is FunHouse.


----- What's Fixed -----
• Transparencies in plastic covers.
• HUD elements were set
• LCD is now working on the back glass and HUD.
• Skill shot goal only rewards on the 1st ball.
• HRC apron card is displayed instead of Diner.

Flashers and ramp seems to work fine now. And no perfirmance issues, but then again I didn't have any in the first place, which is weird because I'm on older device and os than most (s3 quad, jb 4.3) and as said before, I have performance issues on last two tables but others don't seem to have them.

With this new version, app forces me to download high roller casino every time I start that table. I can then play it but if I exit table and choose it again have to download again. Played it earlier today before update without issues.

And don't forget to fix that #2 portrait cam on diner

Flippy, can you please enter the issue below into the bug tracker.

"I was really hoping you guys had fixed the bug (actually, it is an optimization tweak implemented by Ryan early in TPA's life cycle before more recent optimization tweaks were implemented) that would cause either the top or bottom of the scoreboard display (on the hud) to disappear on many of the System 11 tables. The best example of this issue is when the Wind Tunnel Mystery Mirror reward is displayed on Funhouse."

They should of been in. Time to crack some skulls.

It's in our database and I emailed the programmers as well.

Background image looks VERY dark to me

Do these new betas automatically update, or do we have to download and reinstall them every time?

 

[Mad07]

*Cam2 in vertical mode still not ok (parts of flipper not visible) Cam3 looks more as Cam2 is all other table
*Stripping lines in HUD during multi player still there
*Is there same Grafik design work missing in the upper left corner? Ramp is still in gray?

Btw.
That's the ball hang sometime on the ramp:That's already temporary happen on a real table. I haven't see this as a bug, if the ball runs the most of the time over the ramp without any problems

For the beta you have to download them and reinstall them every time.
Only the official updates are automatically updated.

Not having problems with this issue any more, maybe it was my wifi messing with me or something.

You're not crazy switch3flip, I made an error when building the last rez file for High Roller, and I was able to fix it very quickly when it was brought to my attention. Thanks for pointing it out!

Beta 1.31 #5


----- What's New -----
• Table of the month is FunHouse.

Not yet it's not. Cactus Canyon is still the table of the month in beta #5.

Cameras should be coming in soon, something was throwing it off. The floating HUD stripping lines is by design, are you talking about something else? And the transparency issue in the back corner should be fixed in the next build.

Good to know!

WaD? I don't think so:

I'm re-posting all of the outstanding issues as of the latest Android beta build (1.31 #5)

Galaxy S4 running Android 4.2.2

• Funhouse is not yet set as the Table of the Month.

Diner

• The background image of Diner on the table select screen is way too dark. The background images on the table select screen, beginning with Black Knight 2000, have been getting darker and darker with each new table release to the point where it's just barely visible. The background images should be as bright as all of the background images on all tables released before Black Knight 2000 for consistency.

• The scoreboard needs to be completely removed from the backglass which is done for all non-DMD tables on Android.

• The scoreboard on the backglass is not scaled properly and doesn't fit in the cutouts.

• The scoreboard on the hud at the top of the screen needs to be centered.

• Camera 2 in portrait view needs to be re-adjusted as the tips of the flippers are cut off at the bottom of the screen.

• The plunger faceplate on the front of the machine currently has no texture and should be chrome. See the FLYER for reference.

• The inner and outer plunger rod springs are missing.

• The plunger cover graphic is also visible in the shooter lane just below the plunger rod.

• The speakers on the backbox are stretched vertically on all camera angles in portrait view when the camera zooms to the playfield after launching a ball.

• The clear horseshoe-shaped plastic behind the cash register is currently opaque and should be transparent.

• The orange letters on the "Top 5 When Lit" cutout turn black when lit.

• The on and off state textures of all five circular cutouts on the cash register are not aligned properly.

• The on and off state textures of all of the customer cutouts (except for Babs) are not aligned properly.

• The on-state textures of all five of the customer cutouts are exhibiting black areas that should actually be the same color as the off-state texture but brighter so as to appear lit.

• The pop bumpers are always lit and do not flash at the appropriate times.

• The screws are missing on all three pop bumper caps.

• All three pop bumper caps need to be rotated so that the screws are align vertically.

• The three playfield flashers are not modeled correctly and should look like THIS.

• All four purple flashers, especially the purple flasher on the left-hand side of the back wall, are not scaled correctly and look a bit too small.

• The spinner and all wire gates rotate/swing in the wrong direction causing the ball to clip through them.

• The orange rectangular cover caps at the top of the criss-cross ramps have sharp edges and the textures look flat. They should have more rounded edges and have a bit of shine to them. See THIS pic for reference.

• The screw attaching the left transparent plastic ramp to the backwards L-shaped chrome bracket is missing. See the left side of THIS pic for reference.

• Playfield looks flat and needs baked-in lighting like High Roller Casino currently has.

• The scoreboard shows the third highest score instead of the first highest score just before you launch ball 3.

• Nudging is way too lenient and needs to be adjusted.


Here's to hoping most of the above issues are taken care of before release.

Performance on N10 is still not very good.

Ball spins around the cup far too easily, I got 3 million off one shot.

 

[kinggo]

does anyone have weird impressions about inlanes? It seems to me that quite often ball enters slowly from tip of the slingshot and goes slow verticaly but when it comes to the flipper slope than accelerates. I missed so many balls.

 

[Mad07]

Ball spins around the cup far too easily, I got 3 million off one shot.

That was my first impression, too. But it's happen only very rarely, that I received more as 1M points in the cup
