Medieval Madness Remake (MMR) > MMR Support [MMR Members Only]

Need software update for Catapult to eject two balls !!!!!!

(1/3) > >>

Rat:
I have put my Catapult eject up to +1 power but it still has some trouble ejecting two balls and sometimes tries multiple times and then gives up until the other ball in play is lost. This can ruin a good games as it gives you the chance to play with a single ball for jackpots so is not a legitimate score IMO.


If I turn it up to +2 it will eject two balls more successfully but it slams the balls around the wireform too quickly when there is just one ball, which is most of the time.

An easy solution would be to include in the software that if there are four Catapult ejects in a row (within 2 seconds) that the next ones will be at full power until there has not been an eject for 5 seconds, then it would revert back to default power.

Then I could go back to having the smoother default power and better ability to eject two balls, win win  8)

Please send me a code for my fee Color DMD upgrade download for sharing this awesome idea  ;D

PPS:
it's wms object code, there are not 'software updates' to that level that modify the logic of the game, so without that then you have the same game as you already have, which I would expect has the same situation. But a great idea and we will note it ;-)

PPS:
not likely. not unless we start recompiling the code and adding features to MMR, which we've never discussed. Changing the code has the ability to create all new issues, and the testing of that type of code would take alot of effort to ensure nothing got broken ... so I don't see it happeneing anytime soon.

From what I understand this is also an issue on original medieval madness machines and that some have removed the one-way gate from the catapult area which effectively solved the problem. On my MMR I have had two balls stuck in the catapult a few times  but they seem to clear fine without adjusting any coil strength Settings

On my original MM, when I got it. I watched where the balls were hitting the wireform. I bent it a little down right there, so balls would more go up it than at it.
