Rafal,
I'm not sure why but when I press "N" or "P" for next or previous custom ball, I don't see the name of the ball anymore. The ball changes but I don't see the name on the screen anymore. The name flashes sometimes so fast that I can't read it. I am using BAM_v1.4-185.
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?
George

George I tried to reproduce error without luck. It is on specific table or on all tables? Can you try without backglass display? Can you send me you bam config files? _________________ http://www.ravarcade.plBetter Arcade Mode current BAM version: v1.5-289, released: May 10, 2020

I don't ever use a backglass. I always have the display set to the playfield. Here are my files: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/hi33cnwiiwy0 ... jXQZa?dl=0George

Rav,
I have a request for a small enhancement. I like your new high score screen but the numbers are difficult to read without the separators between every 3 digits. I think you may have taken them out because of the different conventions that are used in different countries but you could provide an option in the setup menu for the different separators like a comma (,) period (.) or a space ( ). You might even provide an options to make it appear as it does now with no separators.
If this enhancement would reduce the number of digits that you could get for a 15 digit score, then let's not do it.
George

George Try this version: http://www.ravarcade.pl/beta/BAM_v1.4-186.zipYou can select between space/comma/dot . Missing ball names should be visible now. _________________ http://www.ravarcade.plBetter Arcade Mode current BAM version: v1.5-289, released: May 10, 2020

It is great to have the options for the separators. It makes it so I can read the score now. My only comment is the separator should be a global option that is used for all tables. It looks like this option has to be changed for each table. I'm pretty sure everyone will want their selection to be used for all tables. There is a minor issue. The score gets pasted over the players initials when you have a 15 digit score on the highest score in the bright green. It is probably not worth fixing because it will be extremely rare that someone will get a score that high. The scoring for 15 digits still works with the changes. We should probably let everyone know that the old high score list does not support 15 digits. We have to use your new score list to display all the digits. If you use it though, it does not produce an error if you exceed 10 digits. George

Rav,
I performed some additional testing. I verified that the default value of the separator (a space) is applied to all tables. However, if you change the space to one of the other options like a comma, then you have to change the separator on each individual table. Would you fix it so that changes to the separator are applied globally to all tables?
George

George Update: http://www.ravarcade.pl/beta/BAM_v1.4-186.zipNow it wil save selected score separator as global value. _________________ http://www.ravarcade.plBetter Arcade Mode current BAM version: v1.5-289, released: May 10, 2020
