QUEEN - THE GAME HITS 1 & 2
This is a set of MOD tables based on WizBall's great Watchmen table.
Many thanks to Wizball for permission to create these mods.
 
*** THESE TABLES HAVE BEEN STRIPPED OF MUSIC ***
 
INSTALLATION:
 
These tables DO NOT INCLUDE ANY MUSIC PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR MUSIC FILES!
You will need to pull music from your own Queen collection.
 
These tables will not work by simply dropping Music files in the VPX Music folder.
It will require a bit of work on your part to get music working on these tables.
 
You will need to use some sort of Audio Editing software (Audacity, Sound Studio, etc.) to
break the music up into some system of length. (I used 25ms increments for mine) This is
done so the game can “remember” roughly where the track left off if a ball was drained. If you follow
My song setup and 25ms structure you won't need to do anything to the code. If you use
different music and lengths then you will need to change the script to reflect those
changes.
 
The music has to be OGG Format
 
This was how the music was set up in “Watchmen” which these MODS are based.
(If you look into the table script you will still see a bunch of references to Watchmen)
 
Place your music files for each game in the MUSIC folder of VPX. There should be 217 files total
For “Hits 1” and 196 files for “Hits 2”. These should be loose files and not within folders.
The script refers to the music as "queen1" and "queen2" for each table.
 
If you want to change the music to different songs from what I set up you would need to follow
the same naming structure for the files (I.e. "queen1-00.ogg, queen1-01.ogg" etc) However,
bear in mind I chose songs from albums in the Queen discography that coincide with the lights
and elements of the gameplay.
 
The timecode info is needed in the game script and it is specified in Milliseconds (so 25 seconds
will be written as 25000 in the code). There are a number of places in the game Script where music
files are referenced so make sure you find all the places where the song title is referenced.
 
DMD SETUP:
 
I set the DMD up to show in the Apron. It is because my own personal build table has no 2nd Backglass
and DMD monitor. I just have a single monitor setup. Because of this I like to have my DMD’s shown on
either the playfield or Apron.
 
I have built the DMD assets for this set up only. You can move the DMD if you want, but be aware the
DMD is made for DESKTOP setup only. You may also need to reposition the DMD slightly to fit within the
Apron’s screen setup based on your own personal angle and preferences. It doesn’t take much to nudge it
in place with the arrow keys.
 
Unfortunately I cannot help with other setups for the DMD as I have no way of testing on my own machine.
If you have the knowledge how to set up the DMD yourself - by all means do so. I have even included
different Apron art in the Image Manager for those that don’t use
the DMD-single-screen-in-Apron setup.
 
HAVE FUN and ENJOY!
