CONFIGURATION OF DIP SWITCHES

[alturas]

I've downloaded the table "Attila the Hun" by Game Plan and I've found that it doesn't give (I don't know if this is the correct word) specials.
I suppose in these cases you must configure the DIP Switches that appear at pressing F6, but I haven´t found any documentation in IPD.
I wonder if this configuration is the same for all the tables in the same brand, and in that case where can I get the manual to configure those switches.
I've had the same problem with others tables, and I must confess that I can't enjoy a pinball if I don't hear the wonderfull sound of "clack" when you reach the special

Thank You

I've made a lot of dipswitch scripts.
Including a few Gameplan tables.
You could try and copy the dips menu into the script.
The biggest problem is, you have no way of telling if it's correct without the game information (manual).
The Special Award should/could be a general setting.
It might be worth a try.

Going on your info of No Special Award, I would suggest you copy the text of Andromeda and give it a try. (see attached file)

Good luck,

Well, that's what I was thinking about: to use the configuration of other table.
So, as I also have Andromeda (v.1 by Destruck/Lander) and it awards specials,
I went quickly to see the configuration of Andromeda DIP Switches.
But, surprise..., at this table doesn't work F6.

Then I went to the scripts of both tables for if I can see the difference between
award special or not, but I found that they are completely different.
Then I tried to replace Attila's script by Andromeda's script, but it didn't work

So, I don't know what I have to do with the text file attached at your post,
or in where part of the script I must copy it.
Any help?

Sorry to say I have had problems like this in the past, I wanted to make all my old Bally tables have dip settings like strikes and spares table does but when I copied them into say 8 ball script it did not work ,can anyone help

First: look for the follwing text in the table script;

Controller.Dip(0) = (0*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 0*32 + 0*64 + 0*128 ) '01-08
Controller.Dip(1) = (0*1 + 0*2 + 0*4 + 1*8 + 1*16 + 1*32 + 1*64 + 1*128 ) '09-16
Controller.Dip(2) = (0*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 0*32 + 0*64 + 1*128 ) '17-24
Controller.Dip(3) = (0*1 + 1*2 + 1*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 1*32 + 1*64 + 0*128 ) '25-32

Second: delete these 4 lines. If you don't, the menu will NOT work.

Third: copy all the text (ctrl-A, ctrl-C) from the text file.

Fourth: go to the end of the script. Make a new line (enter).
Paste (ctrl-V) the text from the text file here.

Fifth: save the table file and play the table.
Press F6 and be amazed..... :D

Enjoy and have fun,
Peter

OK. ¡Great job! inkochnito
The true is that I realize now that this table doesn't give any sound when you reach the special (¡what a pity!), but at least you can see increasing the number of credits.
Thanks
And... I don't want to abuse, but I have a similar problem with the table Arena ver. 2.1 by MNPG MooonchilD. I think that this table doesn't ward specials because the High Scores are at 0000. I enter the the menu with the key "7" but I don't know how to change this value, I have tested with "up arrow" and other keys but
it doesn't change the value.
Any help?

Do you have a manual with the right instructions to set the score level?
Then try the credit button.

Short instructions:

Goto selftest function 11 for 1st level score,
function 12 2nd level score,
function 13 3rd level score,
function 14 High score to date level.
Press credit button briefly to reset score level.
Press and hold credit button to raise the score level.

O.K. Thanks.
I made that adjustment some time ago with other table, but I forgot the correct key. I thought it was "up arrow".

 

[bossgp]

Great thank you to all

 

[bossgp]

Thanks I will do that once I am back in Australia as now I'm in the UK on business

And... what about "Hot Shots" (Gottlieb) ver 1.1 by Destruck/MNPG?
Do you have any dipswitch script for this, inkochnito?
This table neither wards specials. I've adjusted the High Scores, but I think it's a problem ob the DIP switches
Thanks

 

[inkochnito]

Hot Shots is a Gottlieb System 80B game.
I still need the manual to know the dipswitches.
However, most System 80B games have the same basic dips.
The only dips differend should be #31 & #32.
These are game specific most of the time.
You can try the attached file.
It's a basic dips menu for System 80B.
