Beta 1.14

[Ryan Routon]

Ok here she is: http://androidfiles.pinballarcade.com/beta/AndroidPinballActivity29.apk

Took me longer to get Amazon out the door so I figured I would give you guys the build as is while I implement front nudge, invert nudge, event camera toggle etc.

Fixes:

-All time ranking screen introduced to rank a user for the last 6 tournaments (server side script still being written so the only score in there is dummy data)
-New season pack/pass flow has been introduced.
-Auto pause fixed for when the app loses focus (phone call etc).
-whats new screen, continue button was covering text in landscape, this was moved down.
-cancel button fixed on the download screen.
-fixed a bug that might have cause the rare download loop due to thread timing.
-Fixed a bug where an orphaned file was confusing the file manager.
-Fixed a bug where files were not being closed properly (this could possibly cause hitches after a lot of menu navigation).
-Fixed a bug where tmp files were not being deleted when a download was canceled/failed.

Some background fixes you won't notice
-All leaderboard interaction is now using a secure method of posting scores, we hope this will tighten security.
-Some tournament strings are now hosted on the database so that we can change the rules text to award different prizes without an update to the apk.

Thank you! (getting my wallet out to buy pin*bot)

Really happy with the look of the plungers on both tables.

Looks like the bottom of the sun is cut off in bot

Framerate isn't too great on Centaur or Pinbot on N10.

 

[etamme]

yeah - seems jaggy on my N10 for pinbot. rebooting it to see if its any better on a "clean start"

Edit:

Reboot didn't seem to help at all - plays a lot like RBION.


Pinbot seems to play smoothly on my GSM Galaxy Nexus (Stock).

Thanks Ryan. Appreciate the work you and the team do to get these out each month.

atlasing issue, I knew I was forgetting something. Let me test it real quick and I will upload a new table file.

 

[grashopper]

I felt like there was a very minor framerate issue on a N7 on both tables when it scrolled up once in a while. Also why is season 2 10 bucks more?

 

[Carl Spiby]

When you complete the free version up to the score limit, quit table quits the entire app.

 

[Ryan Routon]

hmm I will forward this onto the art dept, perhaps its an emulation issue there isn't too much on these tables. And no clue on the price, newer?

 

[Carl Spiby]

Happy to say ball collision looks fixed.

 

[Scottee28]

Wow, both new tables are very slow on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1, Centaur is better of two, but very slow compared to Space Shuttle..

Honestly - I can't say I have ever had such a fantastic experience with any company. Direct access, excellent communication, quick feedback, and a great product. Thank you and everyone at FarSight for being awesome.

Any reason why nudging has been inverted?

I only have Bride of Pinbot left to buy from season 1, I was saving it for a rainy day, but now it's 4.99 $ and can only be bought with MM which I already have...if the old tables can't be bought as singles anymore there will be a storm of unhappy people to say the least

That's the way it always should have been. Nudge on the right side to move the machine left (and therefore move the ball right). However, after a year of playing TPA with the "wrong" nudging, I've found I can't play it "right" anymore.

In the table options menu there should be an option for Invert Nudge that you can change to make it go back to the way it was. If it's not there, then Ryan hasn't implemented it yet for Android.

 

[Ryan Routon]

The message is wrong but it should allow you to just buy the table.

Bobby change, ill add an option to switch it back.

[Ryan Routon]

Speaking of Space Shuttle, Score board is cutting off..
