Godot 4.4. Kick the Table Pottery Pinball 164 amendments Upgrade

  1. In the fire shader script introduced the following to the alpha float (temp loss of transparency bug fix)
    float alpha = smoothstep(0.0, 0.9, c.x);
    //float alpha = 0.5;
    if (c.x < .9){alpha=5.5;} // remove if not wanting transparency
    COLOR = vec4(c, alpha);//*effect_enabled;
  2. In the option_manager script replaced func _ready() with func _initialize(): (initial screen draw bug fix)
  3. Unchecked single thread options (bug fix)
  4. Introduced Pickup ball with mouse. Hover mouse over ball1(only) & press Key P to activate. Use mouse movement in conjunction with camera movement keys to raise & lower the ball in any direction. Press Key E to disconnect. Camera view 1/2/3 can also be used to assist with the ideal position.
    If wanting mouse ‘is_pivoting=true’ uncheck REM in Camera script under func _View1_Pressed(). Clamp tweaks may be needed for other views.
  5. Dmd Rotation key_Pad 8 changed to 5. (shared arrow key bug fix)
  6. In User_Guide_PageTwo’s Labal added
    Move Dmd Position
    keys
    ‘KeyPad 9’
    Use mouse over to drag
    LMB/RMD =
    move left/right
    arrow keys =
    move left/right/up & down
    Keypad + or - =
    Even Scale
    PgUp or Pgdn =
    Hieght scale
    Home oe End =
    width scale
    MMB or 'KeyPad 9 =
    = exit movent mode
  7. In Spinner script increased the star burst animation Spnr_scorei (Time on bug fix)
    Spnr_scorei+=1
    if Spnr_scorei==1:Star_Spray.play(“Star_Spray_Pnts_ani”)
    if Spnr_scorei>150:
    Spnr_scoreb=false;Spnr_scorei=0
    Star_Spray.stop();Spinner_1_Score.visible=false
  8. In Cab Glass & O_O_Bounds Area Marker3D added an Out of Bounds area for ball body which re-uses ball1.ball_restart.position
  9. Bumper_set_1 scale reduced to 5 (jam bug fix)
  10. Introduced zylann.debug_draw addon which runs with the mouse pickup ball feature.

Does the game have online leaderboards? If so, how did you make them?

23

Regarding your comment ‘Does the game have online leaderboards? If so, how did you make them?’. The game engine is a standalone engine with no online functions.
Window co-pilot could point you in the right direction which is where I get most of my code snippets from. Although, it can be a challenging quest using windows co-pilot. However, saying that I have experienced many good moments with it.

I see, the leaderboards are local then. I ended up finding a good backend for leaderboards called SilentWolf, I’ll likely implement it one of these days.
Thanks for the info!

  1. In Project manager under common increased max physic steps per frame to 64 (performance bug fix)
  2. Key binding label spelling corrections.
  3. Mug3 now runs Bank_2_DropTgts addscore (table ani addscore bug fix)
  4. Hud_Mesh_Txt_Ani.on_Shader() & firework shader now will re-start after pressing F12:- using the following to assist the process
    Q_Dmd_Txt.Hud1_Txt_message(“Press Enter”,100000000,“MeshText_Wave”,[0,0,0],“”,“”,[-0.077,0.722,0.016],“courbd.ttf”,16,[0,0,0.0],“Bloop_Snd”,0,“”) #Bloop_Snd is from root//Node3D/Camera & Audio/SondManager
    Q_Dmd_Txt.Flush_Dmd_Queue() added to EOB_Players_Manager script under statement ‘if Started_Gamei == 60:’ which will flush out the above ‘MeshText_Wave’ long time on period.
  5. Shader firework now runs during start-up/re-start periods until ball jitter bug is fixed. Carousel now runs the sprite fire works (ball jitter bug fix) +
    also removed the shader image mesh from the subviewport else it does not parent to the Hud.(mesh parent Bug fix)
  6. In Plunger lane trigger script introduced the following to the ‘ball saver text animation’ list:-
    if QTi==1:Q_Dmd_Txt.Hud1_Txt_message(“BALLSAVER”,50,“MeshText_Wave”,[-0.077,1.965,0.016],“”,“”,[0,0,0],“courbd.ttf”,16,[0,0,0.0],“Bloop_Snd”,0,“”)
  7. Added Pickup ball with mouse instructions to User Guide page two
  8. Introduced a glass apron33 above rollover peg lanes.
  9. In PlungerGate_Addforce.gd reduced the force to 360 and added Mouse_Pickup.grabbed_object==null and ball_active==true to the
    ‘if Plunger_Stick.Transform_z>1.80 and Ball1.ball_active==false:’ code line statement…(eat ball1 on ramp bug fix)
  10. In Spinner_Col_Area.gd put ‘if score!=0:’ in front of Spinner_Score()…(‘O’ score projection bug fix)
  11. Shifted table Spinner score text position so that it does not hug/smother the spinner.

Godot 4.4. Kick the Table Pottery Pinball 166 amendments Upgrade

  1. Table top glass introduced which loses it visibility when you press enter.
    The glass ‘visibility will = true’ when the end of game runs & during the F12 reset table period.
  2. In the Camera.gd script added ‘KeyInputLabel.visible==false’ to the 'if Input.is_action_pressed(“V”) statement.
    This will prevent the camera view from being activated when the key setting screen is visible. ( keysetting screen bug fix)
  3. In Label3D Tgt_Score_B1/2/3/4 script.gd the addscore index now runs the + .score_M which adds 100 to the score when the imission ball trailer=true (score bug fix)
    • increased Sprite3D_Trailer ‘var starti to > than 200’ (more time to hit the objects for a better score)
  4. Ramp ball jam (bug fix).
  5. In Spinner_Col_Area1.gd removed the ‘if score!=0:’ in front of Spinner_Score() &
    In Spinner_1_Score.gd put :-
    ‘if SpinnerCol1.score!=0:Spinner_1_Score.text=“”+str(AddPnts_Point(AddPnts_idx))’
    which eventually prevented the score from reading zero. (bug fix)

Notes
Wire ramp built in VisualPinball (Table has a waterfront export tool)
Wire ramps can also be built in futurePinball (Must use Blender 2.79. The import script, msd is preloaded, you must add the io_scene_fpx script to blenders addon folder which loads the fpm/fpl & fpt scripts)
Fpm Editor & MS3d will be needed to convert the fpm files to msd.

Wire ramp can be done with Array & curve modifiers in blender. (Although I have not mastered that procedure yet will upload Blender file setup one day when experimentation period completed)

In light attract gd script preserve the in game light visible=true events for the func Check_which_light_was_True().
Run a Randomizer for the LightAttract_Mod that is run by func Ready() & EndofGame().
Multiball,Loop circuit & magnaball to be introduced.
Introduce salt, pepper, viniger, red & brown sauce for the meat menu super bonus score for the unused playfield light/image holes.
Underground Table to be formulated/designed.

corrected 25 e statement line in the last reply + post reply format corrections.

func Dmd1(_TimeOn,_Last_Frame_Pause,_FrameRate,_Scalex,_Scaley,dotscale, _TxAction,_MusFile,MusVol,Var):

e. Last_Frame_Pause introduced, use “p” in text line if wanting to extend the time on period for the last frame/image else leave it “” blank DMD.Dmd1(1.5,“p”,12,“Menu_Bonus”,0.400,0.400,0,0,0.60,“Bloop_Snd”,0,“”)

1.when using pause there shoud be a positive value in the _TimeOn text line slot. without the pause “p” it will loop until the time expires.
2.corrected the example text line which should have 10 slots.

Your game looks amazing still, and it is really coming along. May I make a tiny suggestion. It’s about the art and sound. The ball has a shadow which is lovely, but I think it might need a shimmering glass layer that the ball is actually rolling on. Then perhaps an extra shadow/reflection on that too. There are times when it feels like the ball is floating along. Then perhaps to aid the rolling on a surface feel, a constant, fairly quiet, rolling sound. Perhaps pitching up with the velocity a bit when moving fast and pitching down when moving slowly.

You see here:

Its rolling but silent and floating.

Anyway, perhaps you are busy with the guts of the game rather than the polish but I hope you don’t mind me making that tiny suggestion. Good luck with the renovations. Its amazing you managed all this whilst studying and moving and renovating out in the sticks too!

Thankyou for the comments. You hit the nail on the head. At some point in time I will experiment with the ball physics, plus the roll pitch sound effect and see if I can improve on them. Lots of works to do with it and the upgrade job list is getting larger.
