PRO V1.16 - September 25th, 2019
================================
New:
- Collecting Ghost and starting Looping Supers, PKE Frenzy, and Mass Hysteria
have changed:
- Looping Supers will no longer stack with anything. All ghost
collection will stop until you play Looping Supers. Once completed
ghost collection will resume.
- Looping Supers will wait to run until you have nothing else
running. While paused the Looping Supers Light will pulse to
indicate its waiting to run.
- Added a Looping Supers ready state. When nothing else is
running the game will go into a state where the only thing
you can start is Looping Supers. Shoot the left ramp to start it.
- PKE Frenzy will now only stack with Mass Hysteria. Ghost collection
will stop until you start PKE Frenzy. While paused the PKE Light will
pulse to indicate its waiting to run.
- Added a PKE ready state. When nothing else is running the game
will go into a state where the only thing you can start is PKE
Frenzy. Shoot the left ramp to start it.
- Mass Hysteria will no longer stack with anything except PKE Frenzy.
Ghost collection will stop until you finish the multiball. While
paused the Mass Hysteria Light will pulse to indicate its waiting to
run.
- Added a Mass Hysteria ready state. When nothing is running, or
only PKE is running, the game will go into a state where the only
thing you can start is Mass Hysteria. Shoot the left ramp to
start it.
- If the skill shot is still active when the Ghosts Collected
thresholds of 60, 80, or 100 are crossed, the skill shot is ended.
This handles the edge case where one of the Ghost threshold modes is
ready to run (Loopin's Supers, PKE Frenzy, or Mass Hysteria) and a
skill shot will start a mode. In this case, the mode should not be
allowed to start.
- Added an adjustment called ENABLING MODE CHAINING. It allows modes to no
longer start the next mode in order for that ladder. The adjustment defaults
to NO. Modes will not chain by default.
- When modes are not chained you have more time to do other game
features and it allows you to change ladders for your next mode.
- Added an adjustment called GHOST TARGET SPOTS MODE SHOT. During all ladder
modes, after a normal advancement within that mode, the G H O S T target will
spot advancement within the mode. The G H O S T target will never spot the
final shot of a mode. The adjustment defaults to YES, mode shots will be
spotted. This was added to make it easier to progress through the game.
- Added Ghost Collected threshold awards for 10, 30, and 50 Ghost to more
better communicate why STORAGE FACILITY multiball is being lit.
- Added Super Jackpot growing on each spinner spin. Each ball the super can
grow to a maximum value. As long as the Super Jackpot value is less than
the maximum, each spinner spin will increase the value. The Super Jackpot
value will reset to its minimum value each ball.
- The GEAR feature now advances the playfield multiplier rule. When you
collect the GEAR feature on the left 3-bank if the 2X is not lit or blinking
it will light the 2X. If the 2X is lit or blinking and 3X is not it will
then light 3X.
- Added an adjustment called 2ND SCENE COMPELTE EXTRA BALL. This allows a 2nd
Extra Ball to be awarded for completing scenes. It defaults to PLUS 3,
meaning when the player completes 3 more scenes past the first Extra Ball
awarded they will be awarded with a new lit Extra Ball.
- Added an adjustment called BALL SAVE LIMIT AT START. This adjustment allows
the game to give more than one ball back per ball start during the
ball-start ball-save. The default is 2. You now will get two balls back at
the start of each ball if needed. The range is 1 to 5.
- Added a small flasher lamp effect each time the Gozer target is hit and the
Terror Dog hurry-up value is increased.
- Added varied speech calls to the start of "OKAY WHO BROUGHT THE DOG?"
- Added Topper effects all throughout the game. The topper will light up much
more often.
- Revamped some of Mass Hysteria Multiball.
- The scoring changed. The only way to increase the value of the awards
is to hit the center captive ball and change the flippers. Then you
need to shoot at least one shot, collect the new value, to enable it
to be increased again.
- Added sound and light show when the flippers are changing
- Also the shot colors now change based on if the flippers are normal
or if they are reversed.
- Terror Dog target spots Right Ramp
- Added 3 second ball save at end of multiball
- Added award light show
- Revamped the mode STAY PUFT MARSHMALLOW MAN. There are now 4 stages:
- STAGE 1 - CHOOSE OR PERRISH
Here you are presented with 4 shots. Each shot has a multiplier
associated with it. When you shoot one of the four you will lock in
that multiplier for STAGE 2. Every few seconds one of the 4
multipliers goes down by one. This continues until you shoot one of
the four.
- STAGE 2 - WHAT HAVE YOU DONE RAY
Here you have 30 seconds to shoot as many shots as you can to
collect awards at the multiplier "chosen" in STAGE 1.
- STAGE 3 - ONE TWO THREE ROAST 'EM
Here you need to shoot 4 shots to roast the Marshmallow man.
- The Terror dog target will spot the right ramp.
- STAGE 4 - CROSS THE STREAMS HURRY UP
Shoot the STAY PUFT MARSHALLOW MAN one more time to collect the
hurry-up and complete the mode.
- Revamped WE CAME WE SAW
- Sped up how fast you work your way through the movie. Each new award
will work your way through the movie about 4X faster now.
- A bonus is awarded for completing the movie.
- Increased the maximum scores per award.
- Added a new WE ARE READY TO BELEIVE YOU.
- This wizard mode completely displaced the old one.
- It starts as a four ball multiball, but it will continue if you get
down to one ball.
- You have 60 seconds to catch as many ghosts as you can. As you cross
thresholds of ghost caught you will receive new titles: JUNIOR (You
start here), TEX, APPRENTINCE, GHOSTBUSTER, DEMIGOD, LESSER DEITY
and finally "MAYBE A GOD?"
- Each time you cross a threshold a new ball will be added in to play.
- If you reach the end, run out of time, or drain down to zero balls in
play, the mode will end and it will recap how well you did.
- If you reach the end you will start ARE YOU A GOD?
- If you don't reach the end you will continue to receive "WE ARE READY
TO BELEIVE YOU" at the end of each new ladder you complete instead of
"WE CAME WE SAW...".
- Each time you hit the middle captive ball, the stack of books will
start timing out. If you hit the captive ball while it is timing out
you will add time to the clock and the Scolari Brother targets will
rise.
- Added ARE YOU A GOD?
- This wizard mode is a one ball mode with 2 main stages.
- STAGE 1 - Shoot two combos before they time out.
- STAGE 2 - Shoot all 7 Major Ghost in the game one at a time.
- Each stage has a timer. If a stage times out you will have to start
that stage from the beginning.
- Hitting the captive ball will add time.

and will kick out balls until you have six balls in play.
- Completing this will award a bonus ONE BILLION points.

- Increased the scores
- When you collect River of Slime in the right scoop, the rule may

the list if you have played one or more of the Librarian ladder modes.
- When inserted it will go here:
- Scolari Brothers, Terror Dog hurry-up, Librarian, Terror Dog
hurry-up, and last Gozer Hurry-Up. Then it repeats.
- When it is lit you need to shoot the Librarian scoop. You will only
have a few seconds to do so and then it will begin.
- Once started the ball will kick out and you will have the choice.
- 1 - Shoot the middle captive ball to increase the value of the
Librarian award.

There are no longer 2X or 3X Super Jackpots. They just stack instead.

- Correct the delay between multiple Q24 knocker requests. Previously the
knocks would happen too rapidly and sound like a single loud knock. Now
there will be a 3/4 second delay between knocks. If the sound effect
knocker is also enabled, it will be synchronized with the Q24 knocker.
- Updated COIN DOOR EDITOR to display the selected settings and whether they
are the FACTORY default or CUSTOM configuration.
- Added Custom Coin Door Editor.
You can specify the UNITS PER PULSE for the base coin and the number of
PULSES generated by each coin switch (left, center, right, 4th, 5th,
6th). The UNITS have a range of 1 to 10000 and PULSES have a range of 0
to 100. For example the USA coin door has a UNIT of 25 and the left and
right slots generate 1 PULSE and the center slot (the DBV) generates four
PULSES. The coin mechanisms accept quarters and the DBV dollars.
Therefore, the UNIT is 25 (for 25 cents) and the left and right generate
1 PULSE for a single quarter and the center slot generates 4 PULSES for a
dollar bill being four quarters.
If Standard Adjustment "Game Pricing" is changed to a selection with
different UNITS PER PULSE than the active CUSTOM coin door, the custom
coin door will be reset to the factory default for that Game Pricing
selection.
