Help some assistance

[tiltjlp]

First, I have an image with major glare problems in one area. I'm not able to fix it due to lack of knowhow and version problems. Is there anyone who could either remove the glare, if that's possible, or maybe do a minor redraw for me? If you can help PM me with your e-address, or give it to me in a reply. Thanks.

Second, I'm working on Poosh M Up Rodeo again, in fact, I'm going to concentrate on bagatelle for a while, and need some coding information, and eventually, maybe some help. Rodeo has a four score system, Baseball, Color Flags, Put & Take, and regular number scoring. Is there a way to track and display all four scores for each ball? Assuming there is, I'd need an example, since I am weak as a pup when it comes to coding.

And start practicing your nudging, since I have a lot of bagatelle, both home sale and toy type, and with luck, I should be able to crank them out. Well, cranking them out for me isn't really that quick, since I always overtest, but anyway, practice does make perfect.

You can try looking at other table that do same thing

John, check your PM.

Joe, I would if there were any other table that tracked four seperate scoring methods, but bagatelle are the only tables I know of that do, and I'm the only author who is making bagatelle recreations, at least on a regular basis. my biggest problem is that I am a lousy scripter.

Thanks kristian, got you PM, and you should have the image by now. I appreciate anything you might be able to do.

And now for another coding problem, which probably isn't very difficult, but is way beyond my abilities. I have another bagatelle which uses 7 differently colored balls. The scoring is keyed to if a certain colored ball lands in that same colored cup. If it does, the score for that cup is doubled. If a ball of a different color lands in a cup that doen't match the balls color, the score isn't doubled. I'm guessing that an IF statement of some sort might track the right scores, but I have no idea how that would be coded. Any ideas? As always, thanks loads.

I think the 4 different scoring methods would be easy, that is, if you have 1 of them working properly I think it would be easy for me to add the other 3. I would give that a shot for you :)

The different color ball scoring would be a little different... I think I tried quite a few ways to use an "If/Then" statement with Ball.Image and ActiveBall.image, but all of them resulted in errors. I think you could do it easily though if the same number ball was always the same color. For example, if the 3rd ball was always blue or if the 2nd ball was always red, then you could just set a flag or variable at the blue cup or red cup to give double points, this would be easy also.

Thanks for the offer Bob, I'll keep it in mind when I finish working on Rodeo. As for the one with the 7 different colored balls, I don't see any reason not to have the colors reamin the same every game. One thing I'm noticing is how often back in the days before flippers, when there so many small pin companies around, designs were either borrowed, adapted, or outright stolen. If one company had a successful game, you'd see a dozen like it in short order.
