I decided to spent more time on the updated code and the more I follow the "read.me" for the update, the more I feel NOTHING substantial had been done.
New Code features in RED
- Finishing a song (adjustable) lights all shots for one of them to be
collected for 2X scoring on that shot for the rest of the ball. These
are multiplied with the combo multipliers.Nope. Tried this for three songs - "Hotter than Hell" (easy to complete - 4 Drop Targets). "collect" gives you the bonus, but it starts the song AGAIN, and you cannot choose a new song. Not even the "New Track" is lit AFTER you collect the song ! LOSE the ball and you have to start the song again.
- Finishing a song (adjustable) lights 2X, 3X, 5X (2X+3X), Colossal (10X)
playfield multiplier for the rest of the ball.Um no. Even after the display tells you you have completed the song and collected the song (rewarding the bonus) you definitely do not receive any X Bonus. you can't advance to the next song (read above).
- Max playfield multipler is set at 15X.Can't even light "2X", so I can't follow this at all.
- Playfield multiplers can be combined and are advanced via:
- double scoring (2X)
- demon multiball lock timer (2X, 3X)
- completing song(s) (2X, 3X, 5X, 10X)No they cannot ! Can't even advance to "2X"..
- 2X, 3X, Colossal inserts are now used as playfield multipliers instead
of Bonus X multipliers.How many times do these morons refer to the bonus multiplier - It does NOT work FULL STOP !
- Fixed a problem where the last player in a 4 person game could not select
a city.Um. No. WHY would ANYONE select a city, when the CITIES DO NOTHING
I LOVE the artwork and the flow is AWESOME, but Stern have done SFA to update anything significant on the code. I've put in 2 hours on the new code and it is NOT a update. It is done to placate owners. The are no objectives, the GRID does SFA and the only aspects of the game that work is the awesome multiball features.
The code is so SHITHOUSE, that Stern are hoping KISS fans don't worry about "updates" as they just bought the game because they are KISS fans and NOT pinball fans.
