Some Tii tables drive me crazy... in this one specifically, I can't get the score in the Backglas... in desktop mode it appears in the play field, but in cabinet mode the score is not visible anywhere... other times I delete the score in the playfield and put a new one in the back glass with the same name, but in this case I don't see the score in the playfield when I am editing it... any solution?
 
@retroseriestv50 did you figure this out? I decided to check the table out to try to remember how I've done this on a Tii table before. I put in the reel, copied some code from the hud reel, gave it a run to see if the backglass reel was working, it was, but then remembered how bad 1.0 physics were... So I whipped up a quick FizX version. I don't have a cabinet so I disabled PUP and DOF, but everything else is there, along with shadow maps, flipper nudging, plunger timer for skillshots and custom batman ball. You can have it. If you want the original table with scoring in the backglass I could send that too.

Be sure you have 1K Ball to play

"If you want the original table with scoring in the backglass I could send that too"...Yes, please, send it to me if you can... I try to have all the tables in cabinet mode, with the scoring in the backglass and not in the playfield as it appears in this one... thank you!
 
You must of misunderstood, I added a scoring reel to the backglass on this table, I just added everything else with to bring the table fully up to date too as I was at it. At least check it out and see how it plays. But if you really still want physics 1.0...
 
Also, for future reference if you want to add scoring in the backglass on tables without, (while keeping the hud as well) open the editor, go to translite, create a display, in this case a reel, default name is DispReel1. Place it where it'll look best. Be sure to match the number of reels the hud has for the new display in the side panel, in this case 7. Everything else is cosmetic for how you want it to look. (this method should work on all Tii tables others the code may vary.) (more parentheses to warn I'm really bad at explain scripting but I'll try)

Now look at the script and search for the name of the hud, in this case, well "hud", find a line like this


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' add the points to the correct display and light the current players display
Select Case (CurrentPlayer)
Case 1: hud.AddValue(points)

End Select
End if
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just below End Select duplicate that code and rename "hud" to "DispReel1", it should now look like this

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

' add the points to the correct display and light the current players display
Select Case (CurrentPlayer)
Case 1: hud.AddValue(points)

End Select

Select Case (CurrentPlayer)
Case 1: DispReel1.AddValue(points)

End Select
End if

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After that continue searching for every instance of "hud" the script, and duplicate each line with one just below it with one replacing "hud" with the name of the backglass reel, in this case again "DispReel1" It should all look something like this

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hud.state=1
DispReel1.state=1
hud.ResetToZero
DispReel1.ResetToZero

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do that until all scripting for the hud has been duplicated for the backglass, and that should be that

Like I said I'm not very good at explaining scripting but thought I'd try
 
You are incredible...thank you very much!!!...this is going to help me for many Tii tables for which I couldn't get a score on the backglas...thanks again

Gald my explanation helped. I don't know much about scripting, just look at similar tables and look for patterns and whatnot and take advantage of the copy and pastes here. Definitely not easy for me to explain it.

You should try adding FizX, the enhanced rubbers can make this a very bouncy table, which goes perfectly with all the bish bish pow sound effects Tii added. Makes it a funny table to play.
 
thanks guiness
looks and plays good in my cab; i enabled pup (ssf) and dof, all ok.
 
did this on the 'I a Batman' table, but it gave me an error!
At Batman data East, there weren't those lines in the script!

    @xenonph, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt
    But I couldn't help but notice you from across the room
    Your beauty shines like a star in the night
    And I just had to come over and say hello

    Excuse me, but I couldn't resist
    Your smile is like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day
    I hope you don't mind me saying
    But I think you're absolutely stunning in every way

    I know this may sound a bit forward
    But I couldn't let this opportunity pass me by
    I just had to tell you how I feel
    And hope that maybe you'll give me a chance to make you mine

    Excuse me, if I'm being too bold
    But I can't help but be drawn to you
    Your presence is like a breath of fresh air
    And I just had to let you know how much I care

    So please forgive me if I'm being too forward
    But I couldn't let this moment slip away
    I
