DE Star Wars program mods coming...

just to update the thread for those that aren't keeping up with it over on pinside, here's the current list of changes made to the game:


Here is my current DE Star Wars mod status:

1) 10 second ball save implemented.
2) Ramp no longer gives force awards. You must now collect them via the Force Scoop.
3) Ramp bonus score awards are reduced to 10% of original value.
4) Starting Jackpot value changed from 10 million to 25 million. This makes the Jackpots in Tri-Ball the most valuable shots in the game. This is how it should be. Since you really have to earn this (advance the moons, shoot the DS trough, start tri-ball which complicates things as now there are balls blocking and deflecting your shots, shoot death star target, then shoot the ramp for Jackpot, and then shoot the Death Star trough again for Double Jackpot). I think Double Jackpot (minimum 50 million now) should be the highest award overall. This needs to be the money shot. Nothing in the game should trump it.
5) Combo shot has gone from 1 million to 15 million. Super Combo has gone from 5 million to 10 million.

And... there is still more to come!





the guy's name over there is "ChadH" and he's an absolute badass for doing this!! i can't wait to play my "new" star wars pin.

I sold my DE starwars a while back, but wow this is WAY better!
 
Cool...

....I've been wondering what mods (if any) have been created for the SW DE pin. I got my pin a few months ago. I have a few pieces that need replacing and new to pinball repairs.

Are there any suppliers out there that have replacement parts for these?

I need the small yellow plastic square pieces (mine are all busted up) and the plastic piece with the yellow, green and red lights (Darth Sidious) has the corner broken off of it.

Attached picture for reference (not my actual pin):

Are there any links someone can post for other mods, like added figures that light up or other cool stuff like that?

Lots of suppliers.

When you say "the yellow plastic square pieces" I assume you mean the targets. In that case, this looks about right:

The way to know exactly what you need is to get a manual and look up the part numbers. You can then go to any of the pinball part suppliers, marco specialties, pinball life, bay area amusements...and just type in the part number.

As for the specific plastic mentioned, looks like MAD has one:

As for mods, can't help you there. I don't have a Star Wars and are unfamiliar with whats is available.
 
Sweet.....

....Thanks!

Looks like this pin noob (me) has some good reference material now.

WooHoo!!

today's update from ChadH....new features in bold:


Today's update. Three new items added at the end:
1) 10 second ball save implemented.
2) Ramp will no longer Collect Force Awards. You must now collect them via the Force Scoop.
3) Ramp bonus score awards are reduced to 10% of original value.
4) Starting Jackpot value changed from 10 million to 25 million. This makes the Jackpots in Tri-Ball the most valuable shots in the game. This is how it should be. Since you really have to earn this (advance the moons, shoot the DS trough, start tri-ball which complicates things as now there are balls blocking and deflecting your shots, shoot death star target, then shoot the ramp for Jackpot, and then shoot the Death Star trough again for Double Jackpot). I think Double Jackpot (minimum 50 million now) should be the highest award overall. This needs to be the money shot. Nothing in the game should trump it.
5) Combo shot has gone from 1 million to 15 million. Super Combo has gone from 5 million to 10 million. Giving a total of 25 million.
6) The 'S' in 'Star Wars' is no longer spotted at the beginning of the ball. Just plunging the ball will spot a letter as it goes around the loop anyways.
7) The ability to light Extra Ball via the ramp shot has been set at 18 shots permanently. It will not adjust over time. The default value was 5 shots and would adjust over time and eventually bug out and not work at all.
8 ) The ramp shot will now Light Force Award in a normalized manner every 5 ramp shots. Meaning, on ramp shot 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, etc. It used to be on shot 4, 8, 10, 14, 18, 20, 24, 28, 30, etc.

Things are moving right along!





can't. wait.
