Download Rapid Fire (Bally, 1982) VP9 FS Analog Controls Version 1.0.0

This is a reskin of the existing Rapid Fire table (originally by Destruk, Gaston, TAB and Inkochnito) made for high definition displays. 
 
The main purpose of this release is to allow for analog control input. The original table had two rotating handles that could be turned to aim anywhere on the playfield.  The digital controls make it hard to make precise shots and to turn quickly from one side of the table to the other. I have included an updated digital-control version for those wishing to play with their flipper and Magna Save buttons. 
 
I designed this as a desktop version as I don't have a full screen cabinet. Sir Cheddar helped with the full screen conversion and has made a backglass for it.

There are 2 versions of Rapid Fire included in this download:

If you are using the DIGITAL VERSION, then no special installation is necessary. The shooter will rotate at a set speed. 
 
Digital Controls:
 
Flipper Buttons - Turn Shooter
Magna Save Buttons - Move Force-Field left and right
Tilt Left Key - Panic Button
Tilt Right Key - Fire Laser Cannon button
D-Toggle Auto Fire On/Off
Plunger Button - Fire (if Auto Fire is off)
1 - Start Game (Press again for two player)
2 - Start Extended Game (Press again for two player) 
 
If you are using the ANALOG VERSION, you will first need to install Rascal's VP Mouse and Joystick Input Plugin. I have included this in the file.  Run the setup of this program and install it into the folder where your Tables are.  The installation does tend to hang for a bit it shouldn't take longer than a minute or so. 
 
Note: The Plugin can be temperamental. If the controls aren't working, close Visual Pinball and try again. They may stop working if you pause the game. It is best to only have one joystick/gamepad plugged in when playing this. 
 
There are multiple methods of analog controls that can be used to aim the shooter:
X-Axis
Y-Axis
Z-Axis
X-Rotation
Y-Rotation
Z-Rotation
Slider0
Slider1
 
First identify which method you will be using. The Analog Controls version defaults with this Z-axis for those who have an analog plunger and wish to control it that way.
 
If you wish to use another axis or slider, then you need to modify the script.  Open the Analog Controls version and click replace in the edit menu of the script.  Search for JXAXIS and replace it with the one of the following that you wish to use:
 
jxaxis for Joystick X Axis
jyaxis for Joystick Y Axis
jxrotation for Joystick X-Rotation
jyrotation for Joystick Y-Rotation 
jzrotation for Joystick Z-Rotation*
jslider0 for Joystick Slider 0
jslider1 for Joystick Slider 1
 
*If you have a flight stick with a rotating handle, this is the input method that is the most accurate to the original machine.  Typically, this is the Joystick Z-Rotation axis.  I personally recommend this if you have the means.
