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.




Awesome table!  and thank you for the music fix!

 

I downloaded & put the vbs script for flexDMD  in the right folder (it is named properly) but don't see any change (hoped for magical appearance of 3rd screen DMD).  I didn't see anything in the table script to enable it.  How do I get the flexDMD script to work (from shaggysrsg) ?

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
****************************************************************************************************************************************************
 

 

I tried this I receive an variable undefined:'PlayMusicTimer' error message  in script yet the music does play .  It just stops the table.

 

 

I added this into the script in Sub ResetForNewGame()

 

   ' you may wish to start some music, play a sound, do whatever at this point
 
    vpmtimer.addtimer 1500, "FirstBall '"
vpmtimer.addtimer 1500, "PlayMusicTimer "
PlayMusicTheme
 
what am i missing?

Not sure if this is a site issue, but the download link for the table seems to be broken.

 

*edit*  Looks like it is a site issue... getting the same thing on other downloads.

Good evening, thanks for the table!

 

I have a problem: I can't hear the music. I can hear the sound of the pinball, the ball, etc., but not the music. I really like the table. Any ideas?
