Is there anyway to choose what color ball you want. Can't seem to figure it out

the pins dont knock down

im to dumb to spin the ball idk how xD

This is a great mod! Played with my brother and had a ton of fun. Haven't found any bugs yet or anything but for what it's worth, it's the best bowling mod I found so at least there's that going for it. Thank you! :)

This worked for one session. Now for some reason every time I try to flick the ball at the pins, the bar goes down and blocks the ball before it can hit any pins.

i just tried this with my friend and only one of us could use flick even when the permission was clicked in the permission settings ?

Just thought I would let you know: for some reason, after you throw the ball and the bar comes down to remove the pins, it just stays where it is and the game returns an error. This is a super great mod, but this one part doesn't work for some reason.

great mod!!

This is a really well done bowling game. Thank you so much we had a blast!

Awesome! Glad you enjoyed it.

Amazing mod! Best virtual bowling experience I've had

Thanks for your feedback. That's a good idea. It's kind of how I ended up playing it myself. I'll add that to the list of items I need to work on for this when I can.

This is awesome! Is it possible to just have the balls be deleted instead of getting sent to the return system? I find it's easier just to copy and paste a ball than having to pick it up from the return, which means loads of balls get sent through it, eventually flying off the rack and down other lanes.

Thank you!

nice game

Well that's a choice the player makes. You can cheat in any tabletop game. That's not really a thing I can fix, that's a flaw with your friend.

When we played, we was able to take the shot, and if we didn't do well, we could pull the bowling ball back and keep trying. Cheating!

@Taker
" she was able to pull the ball back every single round" I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Can you please explain in greater detail what problem she was having?

Excuse me, i played this bowling that you provided for me and my friend but she was able to pull the ball back every single round. Please fix. Thanks.

I'm glad it worked. I still don't know entirely what's preventing the sweeper from raising for you, but I'll try to find a solution when I am able.

me and my friends where able to play through the entire game thanks to the force reset you added thank you!

@Maxio68
The bowling where I live behaves in the way I coded it in the mod. I'll get around to adding some functionality for those who wish to change the order, but that is not a priority for me right now.

still needs to be fixed, the pins are put down before the sweeper goes back.

[Update]
Possible fix for the sweeper not resetting while cleaning up the lane.
If it doesn't reset automatically, type -r or -reset to force it to reset. I'll try to find a better solution if it still isn't fixed.

Ok thanks a lot. I'll look into fixing that issue. I can't promise success as I've been unable to reproduce it on my end.

the pins do get placed in the correct place and the score gets calculated and the bowling ball come back through the thing. its just the sweeper that's messed up

Thanks for the feedback. I've never experienced this issue myself so I'll need as much info as you can provide.
Does everything else work besides the sweeper staying down? Do the pins place again? Does the score calculate as well?

If you could record a bit of the bug that would help me understand the issue a lot more.

its a good mod and i would love to keep playing it but we get 1 turn then it breaks by that i mean when it sweeps the pins to clear it the sweeper just stays down and wont go back up.

good mod though 9/10 would love to play more of it

Thank you

amazing!

How is it breaking for you?

Definitely disappointing how you can only go once before it breaks.

Thank you for the feedback. I'll look into that issue as soon as I can.

Yeah mine does everything except life the gate back up. It doesnt let me continue even if i reset pins

@Maxio68 After reviewing the way the pinsetting system works, it works the same as the local pinsetting mechanism does. I'll try to make some in game options to customise the user experience in a future update. Once again thanks for your feedback.

So, the pinsetting system is broken, it should be pick up pins, sweep pins, reset sweeper, lift sweeper, put pins down, not pick up pins, sweep pins, {put pins down, reset sweeper}. The order of actions are wrong.

Just amazing.

No problem. I hope you had fun!

thx for this mode

[Update]
Gameplay:
-Pins that fall during setup are now counted towards your score
-Ball spin mechanism behavior modified due to some optimizations
-Reworked ball return mechanism
-Reworked pin setting mechanism
-Optimizations in several areas
-Fixed a case in lane 10 that caused the wrong score value to display

UI:
-Reduced screen space of the score card
-Added "Reset Pins" button to reset any fallen pins
-Help button reworked
-Buttons now better represent mouseover and click
-Button tooltips added

Use the flick tool to throw the ball. After you have thrown it, drag the mouse to the side that you want to spin it. The distance the mouse moves effects the total spin. I'll probably make an introduction/tutorial video when I am able.

How do you throw the Ball properly? And how to add spin?
Do I have to use the Flick Tool?

Thank you. I'll keep working to make it as bug free as possible!

Aside from some of the pin occasionally fall over when resetting, this is really good for TTS bowling.

I really appreciate the feedback. I'll see what I can do to eliminate any of those issues

- The score UI at the bottom does not work well with non-widescreen setups, as my friend has:
https://steamuserimages-a.akamaihd.net/ugc/780742143541869458/885BF59E01626F22934E00A89BA017322342D6BB/

Still, those are not super big issues and we were able to play. My friend also admired the beauty of the room, especially the floor!

I have played a round with a friend now and we found the following:

- The pins were more stable than before when I had tested it alone. We only had two occasions when a single pin was knocked over upon setting.
- There was a strange bug that caused my friend to not receive messages or see the setting animation for a few seconds after a ball has been thrown, it was like a semi-freeze for him. Not sure if this is only related to this setup, but we never had something like this before.
- The ball return rail tends to get clogged with 2 or 3 balls in it, even though there is space for 4.
- The score board did not update correctly both in the personal score board and the player score on the right a lot of times, especially with strikes. The score was correctly shown at the end, but when strikes were made mid game, the points would not be counted until the next non-strike round. However, the round result was shown correctly in the small boxes above.

[Update]
-Knocked over pins that are missed by the sweeper should be taken care of
-Possible fix for pins falling over after setting (I will try to add a manual lane reset button in the future as I haven't experienced this issue to verify)
-Fixed issue with end of game message not appearing in certain circumstances and appearing incorrectly

Thanks for the feedback. I never had the pins fall over on my end during the cleanup, but having a button to reset the pins sounds like a great idea.

As for the picture-in-picture, I don't think there are any real scripting options for it yet. I will use that feature when possible though. I guess you can still manually set up your own until then.

[Minor Update]
Forgot to remove a bit of test code for Lane 1, the lane should now start with a clean score instead of nearly a perfect game.

The pin cleanup and setting might need some work, as for me pins were often falling over after being set or did not get cleaned up completely. Maybe a button to redo the placement without affecting the score would be good?

But apart from that, this is perfect. Looks wonderful too. And the spin mechanic is a great idea and works very good. Thanks a lot for making this!

A suggestion: I am not sure how accessible the new picture-in-picture feature is for coding, but I think it would be great to display a little window for the player in which the remaining pins are shown. It is easy to set up by yourself, but if it were to come up by default, it would be more convenient.
