Download ADDAMS FAMILY WITH TOPPER 1.0
1 Votes

Hi guys, while talking to my 6 year old tonight about the real world whirlwind topper.
i explained the in whirlwind, there is a spinning fan that blows air on you etc.
he asked to see the fan on my virtual cab.
when i told him that it is not on my virtual cab, he asked why not?
then i asked myself why not, and got to work on this addams family topper backglass.
since i don't know how to do an animated fan, i figured that i can try this out with just lighting for addams family, and possibly inspire somebody that knows how to animate, to get creative. on some more involved toppers.
the only drawback, is that the backglass has to be squashed down a little for the topper to fit on the backglass. i am using a 16:10 monitor, so i have a little extra space:)
i based this off of my other db2s addams family, so please read below for additional setup instructions if necessary.
this is a version i created using Herwah's Addams family db2s as a base.
i created this to use on my cab, and thought i would share it for anyone interested.
This version is for 2 or 3 screen setups, and has the THING lights displayed on the third screen UNDER the DMD when using the 3 screen setup.
PLEASE NOTE WHEN USING THE 3 SCREEN SETUP:
for this effect to work properly, you will need to change the "FOCUS" of the DMD to display over the THING lights.
when launching from VP,
this can be done by using ALT/TAB to bring the DMD in front of the image, then ALT/TAB back to the table.
Best Results
when launched through Hyperpin,
this will happen automatically, if you are using the newer vesrsions of FPLaunch.
i know it works with FPLaunch WIP 10
or you can use another utility, that brings the DMD to the Front for you.
unfortunately, this is the only way to make this happen at the moment....sparky

I had suggested something like this a while back
http://www.vpforums....615#entry275900
Even better if there was an implementation of B2S that would handle toppers on a 4th screen, but that's a whole other thing, isn't it?
Thanks for implementing this as a trial. I too hope that the effort inspires others to try to animate some topper effects. Another one that might be relatively easy are the beacons for F-14 Tomcat. I could have sworn that somebody did that for the background image for the table years and years ago, VP5 or VP6.
