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.
