Firecracker is a EM table I found on another forum a while back, from what I remember the discussion was taken place 2008ish.... so I'm guessing it was a VP7-8 table... anyway it used old techniques and older redrawing programs to create it... since the the playfield would be an easy redraw I went ahead and did it I also redid the apron... the plastics were low resolution, and would be a much harder redraw so I "re-worked" what was there (redraw sometime in the future)... the table was also build to be in desktop so the backglass was visible... I use a cab so I spun it... I have to admit i'm F'ing clueless when it comes to coding... so VERY little coding was done, I also dont know how to add a B2S code, even tho I did clean up a backglass from a few different BG's i found on the internets ;)  so for now this is where its at....

I like it!  Looking forward to playing it. 

Rat Fink is awesome. Love that table. Just tried Nip-it on FP. Good stuff. Glad to see you are making a VP version as well.

Thanks for making some great tables!

Doing the B2S is not difficult - once you have the table itself working because it ties into the script of the table.

I have learned to create a "simple" B2S like "Cherry Bell" in a Hour ... go through the B2S-Designer-Help-File, its easy and funny too.

Updating Tablescript with "B2SSetData and Score ..." at least is also easy ... Commands are in Help-File under "Do some VP script coding for 'Baseball' "

Wow Haunt, your playing like me now. I can't hit much but I can sure hit those drains! Lol.

 

Jokes aside table looks really sweet, looking forward to draining a few balls!  Wait, that came out totally wrong.
