Brainwaves Problem

It's happening because this one was made before MFME supported 4 colours/images per lamp. The method in use when this was made was to position 4 different lamps all on top of each other. The lamp in use would then jump to the front and be visible to the person playing the layout. That no longer works, because Wizard introduced support for 4 lamps.

It just needs a bit of tedious work to bring the 4 on images together into 1 lamp. One of the DXers may know a quick way to do this.

Blend the lamps that might work. I’m sure some one updated the older one to work in the newer mfme 

try searching brainwave and see what comes up

although it could do with a update and I’m sure I’ve decent flyer or images somewhere

blended the lamps, did not work. it does need an update now that i think about it.

😮 I fixed this problem before, you have to edit the coloured lamps and delete the off image, then send to back and do the same with the image that's now at the front 😁

Brainwaves fix 😁 - YouTube

Yeah that's the old school workaround. Our friend Wizard did introduce support for 4 lamps so that this wouldn't need to be done, so I've done a fix for Brainwaves the way he would have wanted :)

@jackymiester - I have sent you the layout via PM. If anyone else wants it, just PM either myself or jackymeister.

With the layout, there is an annoying blue part constantly visible at the top of position 10. This is part of the background and, since I'm not a DX designer, I didn't even try to fix it. There are also some obvious missing lamps on the layout too. It's badly in need of an update. For now though, we have a playable Brainwaves at least.

There's a very simple fix for this version.

Simply click on design, then edit mode, then design, then misc tools and click amalgamate lamps. The option was named as consolidate lamps, in v5 and possibly in v6 also, if you are using an older version.

In general, on this layout, there is a bit of spongy effect on the lamps, because of the way they have been cut out.

This above method will work on any other versions of this machine or other machines with 4 lamps, as long as the 4 lamps have been created by the layout designer, in the hope that the emulator, would be updated to allow more than 3 lamps. Which of course in 2016 it was.

Dammit - I thought I'd seen a post some time ago saying there was a quick way to fix this issue, but couldn't track it down. I did it the long way, but in any case we now have a fixed version of Brainwaves, and know the quick way to fix other layouts.
