This is a VP10 recreation of the 2014 pinball machine "America's Most Haunted", based on a fictional ghost hunting reality TV show, created by Ben Heckendorn and Spooky Pinball
Ben Heck does a lot of entertaining videos on YouTube, I recommend subscribing to his channel here
Spooky Pinball is a small pinball manufacturer located in Wisconsin, they produced a limited run of 150 America's Most Haunted machines, it was their first table. They're currently designing a Rob Zombie pinball table in a run of 300, their website is here 
 
All of the script was converted from the original open source code to VB by Shoopity. I used his VP9 table as a base and used all available resources from Ben Heckendorn, from the original plastic images to the 3d models of the ghost and ramps and such things. A lot of work was done on this before I ever even touched it, Shoopity deserves all the credit for bringing this to life. Thanks to Spooky Pinball and Ben Heck for the fun table.
Thanks to arngrim for the time he spent adding DOF to these 12000 lines of code!
 
I haven't updated this since the last beta release so if you still have that one, keep it.
 
THIS TABLE REQUIRES ULTRADMD
 
Thanks for the work UltraPeepi has done on UltraDMD to make recreations (and originals) like this possible.
 
REQUIRED FILES AVAILABLE HERE - GIF PACK, MUSIC PACK
 
Here's a quick install guide, covering UltraDMD and AMH installation
 
NOTE: This guide presumes that you have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 installed in advance, if not, get it here: http://www.microsoft...s.aspx?id=16614
 
1. Download the .vpx table and place in your Visual Pinball\Tables folder
2. Download the GIF pack and place the folder in your Visual Pinball\Tables folder (dir should remain named America's Most Haunted.UltraDMD)
3. Download the Music pack and extract it to Visual Pinball\Music
4. Download XDMD beta 0.2 from XDMD.info/download, unpack to C: or anywhere you're comfortable (for this example I'm placing the XDMD install directly at the C: level)
5. Download XDMD beta 0.3 preview from XDMD.info/download and replace the XDMD.dll in C:\XDMD\XDMD Demo\bin\Release with this one
 
>>> MAKE SURE YOU UNBLOCK ALL FILES IN THE C:\XDMD\XDMD Demo\bin\Release FOLDER
 
6. Download the latest UltraDMD from ultradmd.wordpress.com/download/ - currently 1.1.150215, and unpack this to C:\XDMD\XDMD Demo\bin\Release
 
7. Now you need to register UltraDMD, you can do this potentially two ways. The easiest way, if it works, is to open a command prompt in ADMINISTRATOR mode and navigate to the C:\XDMD\XDMD Demo\bin\Release folder, type "UltraDMD.exe /i" (without quotes) and press enter. It should register and give you confirmation. If this doesn't work, you need to open a command prompt window in ADMINISTRATOR mode and navigate to C:\XDMD\XDMD Demo\bin\Release and then paste this into the command window:
 
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\RegASM UltraDMD.exe
 
this will confirm that the EXE is registered! You should be good to go now!
 
***The following is not necessary to play, but may be helpful for those who want more:
 
If you wish to use a B2S, navigate to your Visual Pinball\User folder and create a Text document, name it LMEMDOFTables.txt
 
In this file place a single number:
0 - No controller (no b2s, technically not needed)
1 - B2S - this will be most common
2 - B2S with mechanical sounds disabled! This is for those buggers with all the fancy contactors and solenoids and strobes and such. You know who you are!
 
If you have any questions about the installation, please let me know in this thread! I'll do my best to help you out. Please specify which step you were stuck on or ran into problems with.

What's New in Version 062018a (See full changelog)

  • Fixed ball rolling sounds (Thanks Dozer316)
  • Fixed material issues on kickers
  • Adjusted bumper force and table x scale




Unfortunately the other site that hosted the music files may have been the one that shut down in April.  Not sure.  Either way, I also haven't been able to track them down.  Anyone have a copy to re-up?

Looks like Bigus' mod version has the music included:

Awesome table! My wife watches ghost shows so this table is for her. The DMD is "Spooktacular"!

Agree with the music being too loud.... I made this change in line 11583 (it's line 11590 in bigus' mod):

 

PlayMusic song, .04

 

This level is much much better to my ears.

 

The only issue I haven't been able to solve in either version is that there's approximately 5-7 seconds of pause between the ball drain animations ending and the next ball release. Can't figure out the cause. I thought it might be because the associated MP3 is too long and is mostly silence at the end, but if you lop off the silence at the end, the MP3 loops, so that's not really the cause, or an improvement at all.

Thanks for the music files!
