8.1: Default settings are now with no music, table sounds only.
To be able to listen to your mp3 files when you play this table, you have to open the script and do the following :
UnComment Lines from 1042 to 1063
Line 1042 : Change -> Const myMusicFolder ="THE PATH TO YOUR MUSIC FOLDER"
to, example : -> Const myMusicFolder ="c:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Music\MotorHead" (the name of the directory that has YOUR mp3 files)
UnComment Lines 215 and 216 to add the commands to catch the right and left Magna Keys in the KeyDown function
In addition, you can UnComment the Line 209 in the Table1_Init sub to start music when you launch the table
Thanks a lot to Jogrady7 for his method and for telling me !
8.0: Updated lighting for VP10.8 (no more sunglasses needed !). Thanks to JP Salas for his help !
You can now listen to music using MagnaSave buttons (CAB) or CTRL keys (PC), RIGHT (launch music or next track), LEFT (stop music).
You just have to create a "Motorhead" folder in VPinball -> Music and put your mp3 files inside.
I did a mix of "JP Salas" and "HiRez00" methods.
I also added a new ball sent to me by "me337".
1.2: Removed mp3 files from the upload
If you want to listen to music when playing this table, you have to import your own mp3 files into the VPinball / Music folder
Rename them like that, Motorhead01, Motorhead02 and so on, and then uncomment lines 85,86, and from 94 to 130 in the script (see the image below)
If you import less songs, don't forget to change the quantity, line 125 (mod XX)

1.1: No changes, all the files (Table, B2S backglasses, Music, Wheel) are now in the same download
1.0: I wanted to do an original table, trying to use all I had learned since the beginning of VPX,
but I realized I knew not much, and I sure wouldn't have been able to finish it without VPForums community's help
So, at first, thanks to 32assassin for his permission to use his table "Blackout" as a starting point, and his help for the script when I started to work on this table
Special thanks to:
Flupper1 for his flashers template and his help, he raised this table standards to a much higher level !
Here is what he did:
- Flasher domes with prerendered additional flashing effect on the playfield
- flashers in the shooter lane with a dimmed looping light effect when the ball is waiting in the shooterlane
- script option to change the color of all flashers and GI lights
- shadow layer on the playfield
- FS Settings
Thalamus for his help, advice, and his 7.1 sound
Xenonph for his help and advice (b2s, rom sounds... )
Wizball for telling me how to make a new song start when the one before is finished and the ball didn't yet went to drain
And thanks also to many others like Kiwi, Fuzzel... for their availability and help (sure I forgot some of you !)
And, of course, enormous thanks to VPX and VPinMAME developers !
Sript options:
If you want to change the color of all flashers and GI lights, it's from line 5 to line 9 in the script (just uncomment the line with the color you like, but you can also add your own ones)
If you want to change sounds volumes, it's from lines 25 to 36 in the script . (WARNING ! Bumpers value never more than 1, it could make your speakers worse)
You also can change Right Slingshot volume (line 797) & Left Slingshot volume (line 815), default value is 5
For Desktop users, the default backdrop is GREEN, but in "Table / Image Manager" you'll find a BLACK & WHITE, a BLUE, and a RED ones
As I used table Blackout (Williams) to make this one, you need to use the ROM "blkou_l1"
You can find the rules with the table file, and also in Table / Table Info
Why a Motörhead table ? Because it's the best rock 'n' roll band in the world !
All the 30 songs you will listen to while playing this table, except "Motörhead", are from the three albums "Overkill", "Bomber" and "Ace of Spades",
with Lemmy Kilmister (1945 - 2015), Fast Eddie Clarke (1951 - 2018) and Philthy Animal Taylor (1954 - 2015)
Extract mp3 files from "Motorhead_Music" to your VPinball / Music folder
Hope Motörhead and Rock 'N' Roll fans will like this table, and perhaps those who didn't know this band and don't listen to this kind of music too !
Lemmy said, "We are Motörhead and we play Rock 'N' Roll"
So, let there be Sound... Lights... Drums... Guitar... Bass Guitar... Let there be MOTÖRHEAD...

What's New in Version 8.1 (See full changelog)
- Updated Music Mod in the script
- Big thanks to Jogrady7

Can anyone help me? Where can I download the script to modify it and play the music?
You don't download the script. You open the table file in VPX then click on the script icon. It's just above the play button and to the right of the cabinet button. If you hover over it, it'll even say table script editor. You can make a change then hit play to test it out. If you don't like it, you can change it back or close out the table but DONT SAVE. Only save when the table is how you want it.
this version no longer plays the music. I put the mp3 files into a new folder called "Motorhead" as directed. Is anyone else having this problem?

Did you name your folder Motorhead and not Motörhead ?
Awesome looking table, great work !!!
Happen to me that the music does not work if you launch this table from a different path that the "tables" directory, and the table crashes if you press the right magnasave button.

Hi, first of all, thanks for the thanks ! very few downloaders do this !
I'm a desktop user only, and all my tables are in the "Tables" folder.
Perhaps that if you launch a table from a different path that the "tables" directory, VPinball doesn't find the link to these mp3 files ?
Did you try to create another "Music" folder in the same one than your other "Tables" directory ?
And perhaps you can post a topic about it ?
Yes there is a bug in the Music routine, this occurs when you move your tales folder. JP did not write it, I did. He doesn't make those type of mistakes. Anyway. I'll fix it and repose the correct code. In the meantime this will get it working now
Do this. comment out lines 1046, 1048, and 1049. For 1050 put in the Full path to your Motorhead folder on your Computer, mine is shown
1046 'myMusicFolder = "Motorhead" ' the directory name where your mp3 files are storied, must be a subfolder of Visual Pinball\music
1047 Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
1048 'musicPath = FileSystemObject.GetAbsolutePathName(".") ' get path to Visual Pinball\table
1049 'musicPath = Left(musicPath, Len(musicPath) - 6) + "music\" 'get path to Visual Pinball\music
1050 Set folder = FileSystemObject.GetFolder("C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Music\MotorHead")
Also to get the music to start when the table loads change line 209 from blank to
209 NextTrack
Accept has the same issue
Sorry

First of all, don't be soory, the part of the script I copied was noted as "by courtesy of JP Salas", and, as I'm not a script specialist, I took it for true.
Secondly, as it worked on my PC, I couldn't know it wouldn't work on some other computers (or cabs).
Finally, unfortunately, not all users put VPinball under the same directory, for me it's ("C:\VPINBALL\VP-ALL\Music\Motorhead").
So, how can I update the table if not everybody has the same VPinball folder location on his computer ?
