Neverending Story Falkor Atreyu Bastion Empress Gmork 80s Movies Fantasy Blacklight Rock Biter

The Neverending Story Pinball by Marcade MODS
A MOD table of JPSalas Serious Sam 2 (MOD Permission given)
I created this table as a sister table to my Dark Crystal table since both are popular 80's fantasy movies and both are MOD's of JP's Serious Sam tables.
Many thanks JP! Your designs, as always are impeccably constructed.
For this table I was inspired to create a table that looked like it was lit by Blacklight and give all the colors in the design that "alien glow" that is attributed to blacklight.
Some may not care for this approach as it gives the table an overall violet/purple hue, but I have been pretty happy with the final result.
Once again: my tables are all designed with no external Backglass and DMD in mind because my own personal table doesn't have one.
The DMD displays on the table backwall (which is how it was constructed in the original Serious Sam 2 table)
For those that have the knowlege to move the DMD to an external monitor I have included a separate "Backwall" image in the Image Manager (Titled "backwall_noDMD.png")
You can select the Back Wall in VPX and chose the noDMD png file to remove the dark rectangle that helps the DMD display when it is on the back wall.
I have set up the table with a Green glow ball but have included other glow ball options (if green isn't your color). There is also a more traditional metal ball available called "MPBall_2"
if you like. Just select your choice under Options/Ball.
All music has been stripped from this table and replaced with blank audio. You can download the music I set up by downloading the Media Pack and swapping each "mu_" file. The Media Pack includes a PDF with instructions on how to do this.
All art, design and 3D toys were created by me with exception of the Southern Oracle 3D model which was created by "CharmCity3D" at MakerBot Thingiverse and re-edited/fixed slightly by me.
Gameplay rules are the same as Serious Sam 2 just with different names. I tried to make the gameplay slightly more forgiving but it is still challenging.
Someone here I'm sure will make a nice Backglass and Wheel art image for this table so please don't ask me for one.
N'Joy!

What's New in Version 1.0.3 (See full changelog)
- 1.0.3 - Removed CatL and CatR from table which were remnants of Serious Sam 2 I considered reusing somehow, but never did. The code for the "shake" of each Cat asset has been commented out.
- Fixed Falkor Plexi lighting which was WAY off when viewed in perspective but not off when viewed top down.
- 1.0.2 - Never released
- Minor adjustments
- 1.0.1 - Initial Release. All Music files have been stripped from the table. No Backglass is included with this table. DMD display shows on table back wall.
Great Table! I just downloaded it and the script says version 1.0.1. Did I get the most up-to-date version? If we want to add our own music, how can we do that? Aslo, I'd be willing to program some DOF for this table if you'd allow me. Let me know, thanks!
you know there is afix for 3d objects geting cut off for being too tall... you just need to add a wall over it, an invisible one and then it wont cut. they had to do it for guardians of the galaxy too.
Nice one!
Thanks for sharing
For those who want music in this table :
I you have the score album of this movie : "Neverending Story - Klaus Doldinger & Giorgio Moroder (1984)" :
Add a folder named "NeverendingStory" in VisualPinball\Music\
Add this mp3 files in Music\NeverendingStory folder :
01) Neverending Story.mp3
03) Ivory Tower.mp3
06) Bastian's Happy Flight.mp3
09) Theme Of Sadness.mp3
Add a timer named PlayMusicTimer in the table.
Add this lines into the script in Sub ResetForNewGame() :
' you may wish to start some music, play a sound, do whatever at this point
PlayMusicTheme
And add the following lines into the script :
' Init timer for playing music
Sub PlayMusicTimer_Init()
PlayMusicTimer.Enabled = False
End Sub
' The music timer is stopped, we relaunch a new music
Sub PlayMusicTimer_Timer()
PlayMusicTimer.Enabled = False
PlayMusicTheme
End Sub
' Play music
Sub PlayMusicTheme
Dim SoundShuffle
SoundShuffle = INT(4 * RND(1) )
Select Case SoundShuffle
' NeverendingStory is a folder in VisualPinball\Music
' Duration in ms
' PlayMusicTimer is Timer object
Case 0:PlayMusic"NeverendingStory\01) Neverending Story.mp3":PlayMusicTimer.enabled=true:PlayMusicTimer.interval=209000 '3.29min
Case 1:PlayMusic"NeverendingStory\03) Ivory Tower.mp3":PlayMusicTimer.enabled=true:PlayMusicTimer.interval=190000 '3.10min
Case 2:PlayMusic"NeverendingStory\06) Bastian's Happy Flight.mp3":PlayMusicTimer.enabled=true:PlayMusicTimer.interval=195000 '3.15min
Case 3:PlayMusic"NeverendingStory\09) Theme Of Sadness.mp3":PlayMusicTimer.enabled=true:PlayMusicTimer.interval=162000 '2.42min
End Select
End Sub
OR... Alternatively, you can use the music file loops I set up myself for this table which are remix's (not everyone's bag I realize) as well as film music.
All this was put into the Download Changelog description:
"All music has been stripped from this table and replaced with blank audio. You can download the music I set up by downloading the Media Pack and swapping each "mu_" file. The Media Pack includes a PDF with instructions on how to do this."
The media pack link is right there next to the downloads button under "File Information"
Its a Zipped file which contains a step by step PDF README on how to easily swap the Blank files that are in the Sound Manager with the actual music files.
I only stripped the music files because VPForums has a policy of not including Music files.
The PDF Instructions are as follows:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR MUSIC FILES
1) Open Never-ending Story (2021) Pinball table in VPX
2) Go to Table>Sound Manager. Sound Manager Window will open.
3) Search for these files in Sound Manager:
“mu_battle1”
“mu_end”
“mu_main”
“mu_war1”
4) For each of these files in the sound manager select and choose “Reimport From…”
5) Navigate to where each of the zipped music files were extracted on your computer
6) Each file should be updated seperately with the downloaded Zipped files. The Audio
Will play once imported so the audio will sound crazy.
7) Once all the above files have been replaced click “OK” in the Sound manager
8) Save the table and relaunch. Music should now play appropriately.
N’Joy!
Wonderfull table, thanks wpilot.
one of my top 3 tables right now incredible
I'm a little new this this but I have the table and a backglass setup. Does anyone know how to add a DMD to the table so that I can move it to the backglass?
