Tiny patch up to fix the score reporting.

Version 1.43.8
- Fixed scores reporting over 9,999,999,990 on the leaderboards

We'll also have someone adjust the leaderboards so they show the correct value.

it goes back to 1.38.10 so my original theory was correct, that is last build before official dx11 build was released

This was mentioned last night in the Twitch live stream. They know about it and a fix is supposedly coming. Hopefully.

Version 1.43.8 Bugs:

Ball can easily go into the Ice Cave scoop from the bumpers.
Music keeps looping after the end of a game and into Attract Mode. Applies to Operator Mode as well. (Maybe for Menu Music though, in which case is not bugged.)
Frankenstein's head is not moving. Known issue.

FYI, I set the public beta to 1.43.8. I'll update it to the new UI when that build is ready (looking like monday due to a bug with the DX11 version) and I'll post a new thread for that.

sounds like, we get the new UI on DX11 .... next week

Anyone know how the new UI functions? I have a feeling it will break the script that my cab uses.

Have a peek from their stream and I was there and it was asked in chat if straight table launching was possible, Mike replied its complicated.

Thanks for posting that. My cab runs off a script that already auto-launches straight to the table and that UI will definitely make it quit working, but worse that UI looks anti-cabinet.

Honestly that UI actually looks even worse than what we already have. It also looks like instead of the simple, fairly cab-friendly menu we currently have that can be navigated with simple up/down keypresses and just 2 buttons, they decided to spread it all around with icons and options scattered about the screen. It looks like it has menus buried in menus, a messy windows-box filters menu, special balls showing on screen even if I never want to use them and worst of all it looks like it needs a mouse to navigate it all. No way... If it does requires a mouse to navigate the menu then they just killed off dedicated cabs.

I'm already getting angry at what I saw, but there's no way that could actually be how it turns out. Could it? The only thing that could even save it with that UI would be built in straight table launching.

 

[relaxation]

While I don't personally care for it aesthetically there are options users have been asking for, mainly sorting, which I welcome but, what I meant by straight table launching was command line arguments for table launching.

The UI will be across all platforms not just PC, hopefully we'll get our hands on it to evaluate it further on monday.
I had a feeling the UI update took so long because it had to be about the same on each platform, everyones going to get stuck with a touch-looking interface if mobile is their biggest market

 

[Metalzoic]

Aesthetically it's really ugly, but my problem is that if it requires a mouse then it won't work well with anyone's cabinets and that menu is so overly convoluted writing a script to navigate it would be a pain.

The design is not pretty, I also like bigger table pictures better than those tiny icons. At first glance they all look identical. Maybe you can resize them later.
The functions and features are pretty cool I have to admit!

I hope it works like zen, which looks similar and can be navigated by cursor. The submenus make me worry though. What a bad design idea, especially for consoles and mobiles. My god, there are a million single layer UIs out there... Why they always try to reinvent the bad ideas.

As last resort you can use xpadder to emulate a mouse. Just need some extra buttons to map it.

 

[SilverBalls]

The existing UI is much nicer - this new one is way too complex for a video game.

It reminds me of Windows 8 when the start menu was removed, and tiles were added in a totally random order.

I think I will make the current public version of TPA my last update for the cabinet, locked and working with the latest camera/cab mod until some kind of command-line table launch is added by Farsight (like Zen added). Hopefully that can be done.

 

[NoEx]

Let's see if the direct table launching couldn't be one of the next feature of the mod

 

[mpad]

That would be epic.
I don't care if it screws the score / leaderboard function.

 

[Robert Misner]

Glorious!

Same here - have never looked at them.

 

[frostyarcade]

Ugh. I just hope at the very least it can be navigated by arrow cursor. I agree- not a big fan of the tiny icons menu, it's not as visually eye catching when browsing through tables... Will miss the hyperspin menu style.
