***THIS TABLE WILL NOT WORK WITH FLIPPER BUTTONS!!!***
 
This version is designed to only work with an analog input to rotate the shooter.  Flipper buttons will not work. Please use lizard's original version to play with buttons.
 
INSTRUCTIONS:
 
To play this version, you will first need to install Rascal's VP Mouse and Joystick Input Plugin. I have included this in the file. This is the identical file included on my VP9 version. 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. 
 
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
 
A second version of the table is included to allow usage of a mouse instead of a joystick.
 
First identify which method you will be using. The joystick version defaults using the X-Axis which works with your standard joystick analog stick. If you have a flight stick that can rotate, I recommend changing it to use it's Z-Rotation 
 
To use another axis or slider, then you need to modify the script.  Open it 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:
 
jyaxis for Joystick Y Axis
jzaxis for Joystick Z 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
 
*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. 
 
***Disable analog nudging when playing!!!!!***
 
Additional controls:
Left Magna Save - Disable/Enable AutoFire
Right Magna Save - Shoot Ball (if AutoFire is disabled)
Plunger Button - Z-Bomb
 
Additional mouse controls:
Middle Click - Disable/Enable AutoFire
Left Click - Shoot Ball (if AutoFire is disabled)
Right Click - Z-Bomb

Thanks for this table.
I set it up, for giggles, to run with a sim pit control setup.

Took a bit of doing to get it to respond to the rudder pedals, but it does.

It's kind of fun like that in manual fire mode

Nice. I haven't tried it yet but I think it would actually work well with a steering wheel and paddle shifters. 

Thanks so much for the work on this - one of my all-time favourites, I dropped a lot of 20c pieces in to these machines back in the day. Such a unique table, a real mix of arcade and pinball. 

 

I found the button version of this game first, and frankly, as good as it was to see and play the table again, it was disappointing. The aim control was cumbersome and inaccurate, and just didn't take me back to the original experience - those that played it and loved it will understand.

 

I've set this table up with a spinner and - seriously - outstanding! I'd encourage others to give this a go.

 

I'm about to lose a lot of sleep!

Glad to hear. You are welcome.
