This fun table is from Bodydump, Dark and HauntFreaks.
I've done a makeover and fixed some ball traps.
2.0 has new physics and updates
Enjoy :)

What's New in Version 2.1 (See full changelog)

  • 1.0 Lights, lighting, layout, physics, sound
  • 1.1 Ball traps fixed, layout, physics
  • 2.0 Physics, layout, sound
  • 2.1 Fixed FS lighting error, reworked flashers, reduced image sizes, layout tweaks




The mirror that I made for Hook is unique. It uses a single element, no images, lights, flashers or anything else. I spent a whole week, maybe 100 hours, pissing around with lights and reflections on the flupperdomes table, trying to make distant lights reflect on the backboard. It's not great, but it kinda works. Plus I discovered a whole bunch of other useful lighting tricks in the process. I'm not blacklisted anywhere that I'm aware. And for someone who has spent the last several years undermining this website to think they can just slide back in after their caliphate collapses and start preaching about manners, etiquette and respect, and expect to be taken seriously, is just hilarious. Think ISIS bride. So, whine and lie all you want - you won't get much sympathy here.
Oh, you might also want to check with your mates as to whether they'd like me to PROVE which Hook table they used for their mod. I suspect not.

You were already credited for Hook, why the hostility? They got distracted from the table, lost track, brought on the original author, thought they'd burned all the elements to the ground, and fixed the attribution when it was brought up. Just people doing their best. We can all be civil now, yeah?
Full disclosure - I primarily contribute to VPW and other authors through the VPW discord right now. They are (mostly) just humble dudes who are contributing their specialty to make cool tables. Nobody's plotting what to steal from where or anything.

The giant ball as a mirror in Hook is a legitimately clever workaround, btw. It's too bad it's so fiddly with the stretching settings - maybe Toxie or Fuzzel could add an individual non-stretching ball option or implement an actual mirror object someday.

I didn't start this and I work within the rules of this website. I did, however, take the opportunity to expose the character of my accusers. Not so squeaky clean after all. Excuse is feeble. I highlighted your mob because that's where many of the attacks are emanating. I'm happy to get along with those that want it. But if you run around liking every nasty comment or making your own, let's say, ill-informed comments with the aim of ridiculing or discrediting my efforts, then you're in for a fight and you'd better make sure your own house is in order before you do. I too am just doing my best with what I have learned, and I've been sinking 80 -100 hours a week for the last 2.5 years into learning this software and trying to enhance tables. I'm sure that dump-truck full of money will arrive soon.

Anyway, I'd also like to see ball reflective properties added to flat surfaces because there are more than a few tables with mirrors at the back.

thats alot of time to still be so bad at what you do my friend.... and I'm not trying to be a dick I'm being 100% honest.... if you spend that must time... with the crappy results you get , you might need a new hobby... again just being honest 
I must have missed something, what are you pointing out about me??....that I call you out on your BS.... again WHY was I not contacts about modding NNG??  its because you didn't try to, you dont contact anyone for permission... are you going to say that a F'ing lie??.... really?.... this is the point of it all.... you think you can do whatever you want because for some odd reason your being aloud to here.... NOWHERE else but here and VpeeD can you get away with what your doing.... prove I'm lying.... what part of what I just said could be a lie??.... all i can think is that your a sad talentless curmudgeon in your mom's basement.... again go full time on VpeeD where you types belong...

There was no info with this table where I found it and the script says table by Bodydump, models by Dark. That's it. I saw your name on the table info only, but I thought I'd include you in the credits as well. I thought it proper. Why you are claiming authorship is beyond me. If you aren't the person that publishes a table, I see no reason why you should have to be asked. I've collaborated on a few tables and I certainly wouldn't expect to be contacted about mods of those tables that others published. Maybe instead of hurling abuse at me, you could explain what your input to this table is, for the record and the viewers.

I spend many many hours testing the tables that I release, and that is reflected in my review pages not being full of "great table but this doesn't work and that doesn't work" like so many others. I suppose that doesn't matter if all you care about is bling, but I think it's paramount to make sure it works. It was broken tables that never got fixed that got me started with all of this. And let me reiterate - I follow the rules of VPForums and I'm not getting away with anything.

On the lies front, you said on the other site that I had NO proof that the Hook table came from me. That's a lie. Up above you say you've never lied. That's 2. Too easy. Your efforts to paint me as an idiot is just pissing into the wind. You're entitled to your opinion of my work, as is everyone. Doesn't bother me.

I too am just doing my best with what I have learned

Went back and forth whether to make this a private message, but ultimately it's addressing things that are already public and my own stance, so I'll keep it here.

VPW is a really small number of people, you can see that in every table's changelog, and controlling the "mob" is even more difficult than, say, a YouTuber who speaks directly to their audience. I agreed with you before about the frustration caused by them. For individuals who do interact directly like myself and HauntFreaks; we're still individuals with our own opinions. I can start recommending a disclaimer, if you want.

On my own comments, likes, and opinions:
As I've said before, I always try to be positive, helpful, and/or informative. If I come across as anything else, just read what I wrote again with a different tone.
If someone else's comment is helpful, funny, or otherwise deserves to see that I saw it, I give it a like. Ridicule? The running joke of adding sparkle to a table is funny to me, and you've joined in on it before, too. I already explained why I gave Thalamus' comment a like that one time, and here I feel that HF (even if he's a -bit- lot coarse) has a valid complaint and you should have reached out after seeing his name, even if you found the table stripped of the requirement.
My opinions are based on what I've seen in the last 6 months. I don't know all of the personal histories between everyone, just bits and pieces that add up. I've seen "live" multiple people upset at your actions, and I've seen your aggression and dismissiveness. If I'm ill-informed, then feel free to write me here or in private and inform me.

since your not the sharpest knife in the drawer, lets break this down:

1)   I follow the rules of VPForums and I'm not getting away with anything..... 
A: this is what its like when someone starts to believe their own BS.... if you would like I can go thru your list of scrap mods and point out the ones you got NO permission to mod which is 99%
this is where you will spin some BS, and your the only one that you have convinced its true , well or the clueless crew

2)I found it and the script says table by Bodydump, models by Dark. That's it. I saw your name on the table info only, but I thought I'd include you in the credits as well. I thought it proper. Why you are claiming authorship is beyond me.
A: this is where you are vacuous of any etiquette for VP builders (IM NOT TALKING AT ME) I mean in general.... the table info is where resectable builders put things like that.... ME being on that list mean if the rest couldn't  be found, out of VP etiquette aka common decencies.... you dont seem to have any of the qualities to be part of this hobby..... as for what I did , Body dump and I worked on the table back and forth , he being the project lead man... Dark built the center lift/ramp feature (3D model)

3) I suppose that doesn't matter if all you care about is bling, but I think it's paramount to make sure it works
my primary contribution to the hobby is unique ideas and visuals, this is inherent because of my 30+ years as a graphic designer, so when you try and blow smoke up these poor peoples @$$'s that you "hand draw" blah blah blah...LOL..LOL
as for "making shit work" I do VERY minimal code work.... i do some but not worth mentioning, do you know why I dont and or need to?... because unlike you I work with MANY different people that can make stuff "work"... ie. the roaches in CARtoons would have NEVER worked if it wasn't for Borgdog and the VPX devs.... unlike you were there is one quality builder that would ever think of working with you, unless out of pity.... I'm sure to you and the clueless I'm just a dick... but in reality , i'm blunt and when i see a duck, I call it a duck.... I've helped with countless builds, literally countless.... so if I was this "bad guy".... who the fuck would ever want to work with me... I'm blunt and to the point.... 

4) On the lies front, you said on the other site that I had NO proof that the Hook table came from me. That's a lie. Up above you say you've never lied. That's 2. Too easy. Your efforts to paint me as an idiot is just pissing into the wind. You're entitled to your opinion of my work, as is everyone. Doesn't bother me.
A: since you delusion  proseeds you, EVERYthing your saying you did on HOOK like "inventing" a mirror on a VP table... there are countless mirrors in VP tables.... everything from Theater of Magic, to Michael Jordan.... so goody for you for adding something to a table that is in many other tables.... whoo F'in hoo ..... AAANNNDDD the PF???... you found a PF on the internet and used it, maybe someone gave it to you??.... again whopt-dee-F'n- doo.... look its healthy to have a sense of wealth.... yours again is dilutional and because of this your taking tables you were NEVER to touch and sh!tting on them...
 

"If you aren't the person that publishes a table, I see no reason why you should have to be asked."

 

100%. Seems like there are a lot of 'modders' that get triggered every time their mod of the original table gets modded. LOL...I've confused myself. Either way, the Bigus Hook update was fantastic. BIG improvement of the playfield.
