Look at why i can't have more decals on the feature board.

That's how far i am at present. As you can see the holds are in, so i would have thought the majority of lo-techs could be re-produced now... Once i have got the cat moves in for the cat and mouse trail i will stick a release up.

Then later tonight i will stick up a W.I.P. version of frank-n-stein as i should be able to complete that when i get home.

[barcrest]

Here it is the log awaited version... I will release a beta frank-n-stein tonight all being well. AFAIK the code is complete for it...

Have fun guys and let me know how you get on with it..... There is a lot in this release over the last one even if most of it is bug fixes and behind the scenes stuff.

[barcrest]

Here download this...

http://baja.ods.org/project45c.zip

extract that to a folder an it should run. There are 2 machines in there...

The defaul Pie Factory W.I.P. and Frank-n-stein W.I.P.

Let me know hoe you get on.

When I have extracted the "project45c.zip" file to another folder, and go in and click "Project45c,exe", the following warning fault pops up:

Project40

"X" Failed to load control 'CommonDialog' from COMDLG32.OCX. Your version of COMDLG32.OCX may be outdated. Make sure you are using the version of the control that was provided with your application.


I can only use what has been downloaded into the .zip folder, so could you please tell me what is missing - or what I am missing

[barcrest]

you need this... Stick it in the same folder and your away.

Complete 11mb version here..

http://baja.ods.org/project46.zip

But you'll still need the attached comdlg32.ocx anyway..

That full job there has all 3 machines in it.

It's me again!!

I have downloaded and added version Project46.zip, and added in the COMDLG file too, and I am still getting the same message when loading the "Project46.exe" application.

Is anyone else getting the same message too?

What am I doing wrong? Or is soemthing wrong with the program? Either way, I would love to try this new project - given the chance!!

[barcrest]

You need the comdlg32.ocx in the same folder as the exe.....

As for how long until it's perfected well the answer is it will never be perfected...

I am working on it all the time at the moment, bug fixing and adding features but to be honest as new fruit machines are released they have new features and i also susspuct we'll come up with some ideas ourselves so it will be a never ending thing. As you can see from the crappy WIP machine i made you can make machine in it's current state although they are limited. I would have thought in a couple of weeks things will look a little better and it should be at a more usable state, although i think it's fairly usable now...

Here is my W.I.P. agenda for this week...

------------------------------------- Still To Do ---------------------------------

Replace gamble button with start button, for turbo gamble.

Add cancel code for nudges.

Add cancel code for holds.

fix BUG where feature band is flashed if cash trail is turned on...

Fix the Hi-Lo Reel...
Re-initialise if changing the maximum number
Numbers not scrolling into view correctly leading to loops
Doesn't re-size properly if changing from one machine to another.

Look at why i can't have more decals on the feature board.

Add Bonus Code.

Add all nudge settings to .fck file.

Add all hold settings to .fck file.

Add code for 3 heads in view to start feature.
Also 3 heads on win line.

Add death code to cat and mouse trail.

Add death code to wrap around trail.

Add 3 reel top feature code.

Fix bug where win value can be greater than jackpot.

[barcrest]

This is how far i have got today.. Just so you know i am still working on it.

Replace gamble button with start button, for turbo gamble.

Add cancel code for nudges... (Fixed)

Add cancel code for holds... (Fixed)

Select Collect to Double as Cancel or use seperate cancel button...(Fixed)

Add death code to wrap around trail. (Fixed, and sample added.)

Add death code to cat and mouse trail. (Fixed, and sample added.)

I will try and post a release up this afternoon. Failing that there will be one tomorrow.

[barcrest]

Here it is.. The daily release. This one's a bt different because it comes without any machine bundled with it at all... It should work with the machines from the project46 release so if you havn't got that then you'll need that as well. As you can see from above a lot of bugs have been fixed. I think that is what i will be spending most of this week doing, however i have added a few new bits,

The death code for the feature board
The start of the bonus code
I have also squeezed more things together on the main page to fit more on.

Anyway for thoose still interested here it is.

EDIT: I have included the .FCK files as i did have to change them to add a new sound event.

Here is how far i have got today....

I have an LCD font for the ALPHA it's looking great.
I have started a manual (This will take some time, Suggestions and amendments please).
Credits are implemented, just need to add a temporary credit button.
Bank is partially implimented (50%)
Fixed a bug where the ALPHA always said 1 nudge no matter how many nudges you had.
Now reelband items have 2 cash values to allow for mixed 7's mixed bars and boxed wins...
Reel editor lets you change the cash values and saves these out to the FCK file. (This means an update to the .FCK files again)
3 heads on win line starts feature now in.

I don't know how far we will get today but I will endevor to get a release out today.

I am working on adding the 5 liner code now.

Move tool now lets you position the nudge decals.

The five liner code never made it in but i will be doing that tomorrow. I will also work on a number trail type machine tomorrow. The one just contains the EXE and updated .FCK files. You still need project46.zip for the re-sources and then just stick this over the top.

EDIT: Also included is the manual and the LCD font for the alpha display. It's a true type fornt so just install it via the fonts folder in your windows control panel.

Guys the .FCK file in the project52a.zip have errors. The first entry for each reel is wrong... They should be 1,1,0 not 1,0,0 or 5,0,0 as i believe one of them is. You can fix it in note pad or wait for tomorrows release. All it means is that it treats the single bar as a 7 for mixed 7 wins :S

I noticed it too late to upload the fix. It was due to a bug in the reel editor that i have now also fixed.

[barcrest]

It only spend a couple hours a day on it... That is why progress is so slow.

[barcrest]

O.K. No more releases of the kit for a while....

But here is an updated frank-n-stein. It now looks a lot more like i wanted it to when i started it. Still not up to the standards of the DX masters but looking a lot better than it did....
