Hey There,
Here is a vpx update to my Black Hole table.
New Stuff... First off, big thanks to wrd1972 and rothbauerw for helping me finish this one up... Without them, who knows when it would have been finished. I do know it would not play nearly as well!!
Wrd helped rescale and resize both the upper and lower playfield. (we rebuilt the lower twice to get the angle just right) He also spent way too much time on the physics.. (trust me it’s a compliment) I envy his attention to detail in that area.
Roth rescripted and cleaned up most of the code. Took out all of my timer based hacks.
hauntfreaks Helped out with the lighting among other things I forget. It was also his idea for the Blacklight multiball.
Leaf switches stolen from BorgDog.
Various bolts and screws from Dark and Zany.
Lots of new stuff by me.. New primitive plastics, gates, spinner, ball mod, etc, etc.
Again, thanks to wrd and roth for all their help, table testing and attention to detail!!!
**************************
Check script for options!!!!!
So many Options!!!!!
**************************
-----------------
See below for the old info from the VP9 version with notes of changes I made. Again thanks to them, this table would not exist without that version or their help
-----------------
Black Hole was one of the first tables I loaded onto my cabinet and it rocked!! I played it a bunch then moved on to the other 300 or so tables. Looking for another table to work on, I decided to give this one a go. I'm happy with how it turned out and hope you will all enjoy it!!!! This is a complete from-scratch build of it.
Things I did:
I started with only a manual and blank table. I did have to peak at the old versions to figure out how couple of things worked.. (so thanks destruk, PataTrox and Mostly Decaf for your original tables).... it was mostly just A LOT of trial and error.
I did a redraw of both the lower and upper playfield from the ones TAB uploaded to the site. (Thanks!!) Plastics I redrew from the best pics I could find. Only things I didn't redraw are the space men and planets/asteroids.. those are taken from the best pics I could find.
----------------------------------------
Take a look at the top of the script... lots of options. (even more than before!!)
----------------------------------------
Old Credits and Thanks that still apply:
Thanks to the test team!! The Loafer, Shadowsclassic, Nemo, Arngrim, dboyrecords, Zany. With their help we squashed bugs and tweaked the playability. They pushed me to make it the best looking and playable table we could. So thanks again!!!!
Thanks to freneticamnesic, He helped get the lower bonus score working right!!! He also did the primitive spring, re-entry tube and ball diverter!!! (I did redo the spring for the VPX version)
Thanks to Zany for doing the primitive pop bumpers and flippers! He also did the window, much more windowy now :-) (new window model by me, but used Zany's texture)
Thanks to Arngrim for adding in DOF, and helping with the sound code!! (Roth Updated the DOF code for the VPX version)
Thanks to all the Table Authors, Table Template Builders, Primitive Builders, etc. that have come before me. It's AMAZING(!!!!!!!) what you have all done with this program. I'd give you all credit but I'd never stop typing names. Thanks!!!
----------------------------------------
If you find any bugs or oddities let me know and I'll do my best to get them fixed up.
Once again I hope you Enjoy!!!

What's the best ROM and B2S you recommend?
Below list 6 B2S versions:
https://www.vpforums...=B&num=10&st=50
I see the Table defaulted to ROM blkhole7.zip (Gottlieb 7-digit), so would you recommend B2S (Black Hole (Gottlieb 1981) 7-digit 1.0) at:
https://www.vpforums...&showfile=10929
But, I see the popular one is the fantasy version (Black Hole (Gottlieb 1981) directb2s 1.0.2), but only looks like 6 digit displays, so do I need to use a 6 digit ROM (blkhole2.zip, bhol_ltd.zip, or blckhole.zip)?
https://www.vpforums...s&showfile=8106
Thanks...
UPDATE...
Kept getting a VBScript error (terminated before initialized, check rom path) when trying to run blkhole2 or blkhole7, would not run till I put a copy of the version 1 rom (blckhole) in the rom folder...
Just running version 2 rom, cause the animated BG only supports 6 digit...
Hello
I cant seem to get the table to play with the only rom that is out there to download. Anyone have a suggestion
This table uses a shared rom setup, where as you need 2 roms to run. Use blkhole2 or blkhole7, but you also need a copy of blckhole in the rom folder to work. In the script, only specify one of the two above, the blckhole just needs to be there too, not is script, some how needs some files in it to run. PM me if you have other issues with roms.

Problem is i cant find the other rom, blkhole2. The only one i see is 7. And also do you know what line in the script i would change?
Thanks
This script is a little diff on selecting rom, see Line 86 in mine, RomeSet=2, so mine is running blkhole2.zip:
75 '*****************************
76 'Rom Version Selector
77 '*****************************
78 '1 "blckhole" ' Gottlieb Rev.1 - blckhole
79 '2 "blkhole2" ' Gottlieb Rev.2 - blkhole2
80 '3 "bhol_ltd" ' Gottlieb Limitied Edition - bhol_ltd working????? acts CRAZY
81 '4 "blkholea" ' Gottlieb Sound Only - blkholea
82
83 '5 "blkhole7" ' Gottlieb 7-digit - blkhole7
84 '6 "blkhol7s" ' Gottlieb Sound Only 7-digit - blkhol7s
85
86 RomSet = 2
how come i cant find any of the roms.....
none of them come up in the download lists, only hbol_itd; which is not listed as a rom for this version???
thanks,
chris
