But consider that you get "Balls of Steel" already for $24.90 at cdacces, here in germany for DM49. Hyper 3D contains 6 out of the 11 tables and is pretty outdated. Another interesting thing is that Space Cadet use 2 different scoring systems. The one of the Plus pack grants you only 500,000 points for each completed mission - the other one 1,000,000. -Carsten [ To quit the Pinball Simulation mailing list, send the message ] [ "unsubscribe pinsim" (without the quotes) to majordomo@xmission.com ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Gregory A.

If you manage to order it somewhere (I belive it can be quite hard to locate some store selling it in the us or anywhere for that part) you might be a little disapointed on the physics, functionality etc, though in the end if you really want a pinball editor you might be quite happy with this one since it has lots of fun tweaks and things you can try out. Belive me, constructing a good table with this editor takes time and the result might not be really top notch but it can turn out quite ok or so :) When I first got the editor and played with it I thought the results of constructing were kind of acceptable, haven't used it for quite some time now though. The trouble is the usuability of the editor which is not exactly userfriendly and that also includes a strange graphic editor which is hard to use, when placing something on the table the mouse was sometimes hard to steer preciesly by pixel exact. So many things could have been done better, developed more, worked more on, with the editor to be short >Actually, my main two questions are: 1) Is there an English >version, and 2) how are the gameplay physics? don't think there is an english version, the distribution for this product was kind of lousy unless you lived in german I think. gameplay physics aren't superb, a bit like epic pinball but not really quite as good if I remember correctly, but then opinions differ (!) :) I'd say the physics are ok (there is a demo for the editor where you get to play a "professionally" constructed table with the editor if you are really curious about the physics).

One is to make a copy of your current registry (mine is stored in the file C:\Windows\User.dat) and put it in a safe place. The second way, which I used to transfer my high scores from the Windows Plus! version of Space Cadet to the Full Tilt! version of Space Cadet, probably will work for Balls of Steel, too. I hand copied all (5) high score registry keys and the registry keys for each of the five names. But most importantly, I copied the verification registry key, which worked as some sort of checksum to make sure I didn't try to alter scores by modifying their values in the registry. Attempt to duplicate scores without also duplication the verification key resulted in a wiped-clean high score list in Space Cadet. However, once I duplicated all 11 pertinent keys (5 scores, 5 names, 1 verification), the high score list was accepted.

The more interesting registry key is "Kids the password is" :) Some unwary adult might put their "kid protection" password in the game. BOS writes it out to the registry un-encrypted and then the kid finds it. The kid then has access to all the things protected with that the adult might have used that same password with (net-nanny, porn pics protectors, etc.). Just a thought. On a totally different note Joel - Did you guys use simple "Eulers" integration for ball movement? Working on my own simple game and was interested if you real developers of pinball sims used fancier methods... Just ignore if you think I might be asking questions that violate your non-disclosure ;) Dan.
