Based on the 2003 Stern table Lord of the Rings.
Special thanks to bassgeige for suggesting and testing the table.
I build the table from scratch, so it is not a conversion of my old VP9 table.
Original 3D models from GLBX. I have adapted them to VPX and adjusted their textures.
The path of the dead figures are simple images since I didn't have any 3D models of them.
This is a lighter table, not only because of its textures & lightning, but also because it is under 14Mb.
This table is simply an alternative table which is lighter on resources for systems with older graphic cards, for ex. laptops, although the Stern rom emulation is quite heavy on the cpu.
It uses the ROM sounds since they have been greatly enhanced by the latest vpinmame.
Most of the images are from the real table, I have only replaced or redrawed a few of them, mostly the apron, the lower plastics and the light inserts and texts.
Enjoy!

Hello, in Preferences -> Video Options, check the option "Alternative Depth Buffer proccesing"
I hope this help.
Thank you, looks good now.
Not sure if im missing something , other files etc, but i don't have any music or anything. I hear quarter dropping sounds and nothing else. the rom file seems to be fine, it didn't error out or anything. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
Did you figure out the sound? I have the same.

Beautiful table JPs. However, I need to move the DMD to my second screen. Anyone have any idea on how to do this?
Nevermind, figured it out by following the Support Topic (red button) in the description above.
Thank you again for such a gorgeous table. Will be played often.
