Beta 22

[Dylan_h]

Thanks for the updated build Ryan as the table plays much better but now my high score seems unrealistic. Is there anyway to delete it?

Ryan, the color of the chrome railing was darkened on the iOS version and was wondering if you could have that color tweak brought over to the Android version. The rails look too bright as is and don't blend in with the rest of the table very well.

I think nearly all of the bugs reported were addressed, I will leave it to you guys to regress

I'm getting some very strange behavior indeed with download the latest RES files.

The first time I attempted to download Black Rose, the app crashed just as the download finished and the table was about to start. This sometimes happens, so that isn't the issue.

So I went back into the game to play Black Rose, and the table download didn't stick. I think the issue with the crash at the end caused some corruption.

So I went and tried to redownload the table again. This is where the issues started. The table refuses to get past about 5%. The same with Central Park. I managed to download the updated Firepower again before these issues started.

I"ve tried all the usual fixes: cleared the app cache, verified there is no REZ file in the folder. None of these solutions work.

It's like there is a corrupted temp file somewhere that is preventing me from proceeding with the download.

Also, take note how the star rollovers behave in Fire Power now (they are animated!). Tuning for pop bumpers and the upper eject is great now.

LoL we actually have no idea what you are talking about, it must have been a fix by coincidence that the art team reverted since I have the latest textures and Stewart and I are pulling from the same directory. Which railing is this?

It's the chrome walls along the sides of the ramps and other parts of the playfield.

Must be a cdn thing, ill purge the directory.

It's issue #0002360 on the bug tracker that has already been addressed on iOS even though it hasn't been marked as "resolved" on the bug tracker.

 

[switch3flip]

Damn, you sure didn't make it easier, that's for sure! Everything is faster and harder. Only thing easier is the 3-way ricochet. And the whirlpool. The locker loop is almost, dare I say it, too hard. The ball is all over the place. And I'm sure not one to complain about difficulty. I love the challenging tables. Well maybe I'll get used to it

 

[Ryan Routon]

yeah, im guessing though if he rebuilds, it will be back to unresolved. I'll forward it on.

I would post pics, but I'm posting with my phone at the moment.

 

[Ryan Routon]

yeah, art team says they didn't touch it, I am not sure what you are seeing on ios but apparently they weren't going to update it since it would require reworking a lot of the metal. We will look into it.

 

[Ryan Routon]

ok, I think I found out what happened. looks like they are making some updates to the metal walls and Bobby vetoed the fix you saw so it didn't get applied properly, they are going to make a better pass. Ill purge the rez file when that happens.

I can assure you that the chrome railing textures were tweaked on iOS on the newest BR res file as they are much darker now and don't look as bright as they are on the Android BR res file (which is how they previously looked on the iOS version), but thanks for looking into it anyway.

 

[Ryan Routon]

yeah they updated it and either reverted it (due to Bobby's veto) or just didn't apply it to the lower lods. Sounds like they have a better texture fix, instead of just darkening it they are adding baked in lighting to improve the look.

Thanks again and I'm glad to hear they're going to take another pass on the chrome railing textures. When they tweaked it, the color was darker but it still seemed a bit rough to me and I wasn't sure if the art team was going to have time to do a detailed pass on it.

 

[Ryan Routon]

yeah, that's probably what Bobby thought too (as far as the roughness). I think they will have a new one tomorrow.

 

[Pinetwig]

I'm getting the "ball thru flipper" glitch (also present in WhiteWater) on the right flipper.

Didn't see it in the first build and only had a hand full of games on the new one.

Central Park is still not downloading for me. And I got in trouble for typing while recording the podcast. :'(
