v4.4
Converted all pics to WebP format to reduce overall size of table.(VPX7.2 Required)
 
v4.3a
Fixed LUT as I missed adding number to one script command. So toggling LUTs works now.
Added Blue to Backwall Lights selection.
Noticed whistle sound effect was not assigned to play through the backglass.
Now it is.
 
v4.3
Added numbers to variables on all of the toggled options.
So they are all seperated now and do not conflict with other Team tables.
Added Option at top of Table Script to use altsound rom sound fx, and no music.
This option is for Pup Packs that have their own music.

v4.2
Allheart has found a fix so no new core.vbs file is needed. And no need for seperating NFL tables from your other tables.
He suggested I change the rom name to "nfl" right before the nvoffset command in table script, and then change back to alias rom name right after the nvoffset command. This works and solves all problems!! Thanks Allheart!!

v4.1
New core.vbs fix by Allheart that fixes error when using table with B2S Enabled.(Huge thanks!!)
New Instructions and I suggest you follow them!!
This new core.vbs file is not to be copied to your scripts folder.
All of these NFL tables need to be in one folder, and the new core.vbs file needs to be in that same folder.
If you previously downloaded table and overwrote old one in scripts folder, I suggest you download newest beta and copy that one back over the one I previously included with table!!
Sorry for this inconvenience!!

v4.0
32assassin shared all of the resources he had for this NFL table.(Huge Thanks!!)
If you are looking for just the Original table with no team mod or music, then you will have to wait for 32assassin's version to be released.
He is waiting for High Definition scans of the plastics and playfield, before he will release it. (It will be worth the wait!!)
He sent me a new table based off of his work on Striker X-Treme table that he had helped work on with Kalavera3.
He made all new primitives,(Including the Football Primitive!!).
He added fluppers Flashers 2.0.
He added the Apron, Stadium Crowd, Drop Target, Flippers, and Back Wall Flags artwork, and many script changes.
 
I added Original Plastics.
(The whole reason for me wanting to update was to add the original plastics.)
(And to fix the sound mods, as I didn't know how to add timers back then.)
Upgraded playfield pic with new logos, wood inlays, and much more.
(Compare this playfield pic next to the old playfield pic and you will see exactly what all I have done!!)
I added original Plunger Cover art, Spinner art, and Back Wall Crowd Art.
I made the Goal Post primitive,(Thanks to 32assassin for teaching me how to use blender!!), and made the primitive behind the red flasher.
I also changed the "GOAL" light art behind the Linebacker to "SCORE", and added yellow rim like the original NFL table.
I also added Original Linebacker art.

Added Many Options that are saved and loaded on next table run!!
The Team Plastics can be toggled with Left Magna-Save when game is not in play.
(Original Plastics are on by default.)
Plastics change goes as follows..
Original, Home, Away, Color Rush.
(ALL TABLES WILL AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE HOME, AWAY, AND COLOR RUSH PLASTICS.)
The Back Wall Lights can be toggled with Right Magna-Save when game is not in play.
(Original Lights are on by default.)
Transparent Plastics can be toggled with the L key.
Non-Transparent Plastics show the Team Colors better.
Linebacker Color can be toggled with the W key. Change from White or Black Linebacker.
(So if the star Linebacker on your team is white or black, you are covered!!)
Added JPSalas Lut Script,(Huge thanks JPSalas!!)
Luts are toggled with the Buy-In Key (2 Key)
All the choices you make, are saved and loaded on next table run.
(Thanks to a modified version of JP's Lut and STAT's Team Change script that I modified.)(Thanks JPSalas and STAT!!)

For the sounds, I switched from MP3's to OGG format. Cuts down on file size tremendously!!
I have used the altsound method, combined with regular music method.
I found that some of the alt sounds were not being played, so I told Toxie about the situation.
Toxie looked through the PinMAME code and found the problem.
The PinMAME code didn't handle a special case of the whitestar sound command lists yet, so he added that to new version of VPinMAME!! (HUGE THANKS TOXIE!!!)
YOU WILL NEED THE NEWEST VERSION OF VPINMAME FOR ALL THE ALTSOUNDS TO WORK PROPERLY!!

I have muted all the music in the rom to a decibel level of 0.
This way we still get all the cool sound effects from the rom!!
I will only be adding Touchdown calls from radio announcer for each team in the altsound folder.
The SoundMod is on by default.
To turn off SoundMod, go to Line 20 and change SoundMod=1 to SoundMod=0
Also there is no reason to have to hit F1 and change to altsound, to use this altsound package!!
I have scripted it into table to automatically turn on the altsound, and it turns off on table exit.

There are 41 Main sounds that will be same for each team. There are 7 for the Bears.
These are kept in a folder named NFL STERN, that is inside your music folder.
(That way if you download all the tables, all the music for all Teams will be kept tidy in 1 folder!!)
1 of 10 NFL Films music is played on start of game, and continues randomly.
15 seconds after the last ball has drained, the Attract Mode starts.
1 of 20 John Facenda talking sound effects is played when in attract mode.
1 of 10 other Football sound effects is played after John Facenda in attract mode.
1 of 7 Bears Music is played after the second talking sound effect in attract mode.
2 versions of Bear Down. And Superbowl Shuffle from 80s team.

There are 14 different rom Touchdown Calls, with 4 Radio TD calls divided between the 14 of them.

Also added random sounds on Coin Insert.
Each team will at least have...
Defense Chant, 3 different Football Grunts, Whistle, and TD call on Coin Insert.

ColorDMD is on by default.
To switch to normal DMD colors with the Original plastics, go to Line 16 and change CDMDWOP=1 to CDMDWOP=0
This can only be adjusted on the Original Plastics. They are defaulted ON for the Team Plastics.
This automatically turns off the Colorize DMD that you usually have to manually checkmark in rom options.
And it automatically turns on the Colorize DMD for the Team mods, so no need to checkmark in rom options.
