Download Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Gottlieb 1978) 4.0

 

Dont change that from 0 to 1

that is not the fix, as that is not the reason for the error.
I just uploaded what is the cure for the error as the error is simply due to VPX 10.6 not being able to use an audio type that VPX 10.7 can.

All setting that to 1 does is turn on ROM sound and the table does not use the ROM sound.
The original author went to a lot of trouble to give the table good sounds.

 

As for the ball issue

I can not replicate that.

Make sure you have a good ROM
Try clearing the nvram for the ROM

Try clearing the pinmame config for the table

 

 

The sounds are better without the rom.

But I am still having the ball issue after ball one is drained.  

It is not the ROM.  It works with the other version of the table.

Cleared nvram.

Cleared pinmame.cfg

 

I am using the table in a cabinet.  Fullscreen. No FSS. 

 

It seems like the ball is trying to come out but it is being rejected because the wire is moving near the eject point.  Maybe open the end a bit???

 

Thanks for your help

 

Did you touch the Z scale?
If so, set Z scale back to 1

there is already an excellent vpx version of this game. why do another one ? I mean good on you and all, but i don't get it... 

There isnt one here that i see, care to show me the link on this site, and i will delete mine.
If there is one some place else i would not know.

Dont like it, dont down load it, the world does not revolve around you.

hi, sorry I before do not understand that you used vpx 10.7

That's ok.
I did not realize that Toxie had already added the new sound capabilities to VPX 10.7 and that 10.6 did not have the ability

Anyone know how to get the game to display properly in cabinet mode ?

Your comment is not polite at all. I am a VP user since 2001. EVERY TABLE is already done by other authors...But new versions and new authors are wellcome to me. Scapino was great! Eala and Pac Dude were great!  But..come on! The show must go on!!!! You shoud complain if there are no new tables.

Open table in editor, click backglass
uncheck show FSS space, pick Full Screen for view, uncheck test Desktop.
Then click file and Save.

 

 

How do you switch the table from FSS mode to DT mode?

 

I'm a desktop user and while it would be cool to play the game in FSS mode, it comes up in portrait mode.

change rotation from 270 to 0

 

So how do you do that? I see no rotation property in the table options.

UPDATE: Figured it out - you have to do it in the backglass properties. Weird.

The shadow of the game is very strange, how can I solve it?

great, the eighties pinball..thank you very much

wheel not spinning when i play.
