I owned the game ~ 1979 - '81, so game play and "feeling" of the table is well known. I offer you here "my" 
 
Version 1.0c
- new physic (cab optimized),
° now the ball "dances" around the bumper as in the original game
° when the ball runs in it crosses from the left lane into the right kicker hole and vs.
° more fun to play
- many new sounds
- improved ball and ball position in the plunger lane
- the bumper triggers are now in colored plastic
- new POV for cab use
- in game over state the plastics illumination stays on (the original behavior of all Gottlieb EMs)
 
Version 1.0c2 Thanks goes to jejepinball and kiwi for the hint how to trigger both bumpers simultaneously. This is now realized.
 
Version 1.0d Leeoneil made the following enrichment to the table:
- draw the plastics in VPX, there are now in 3d with light reflection
- add shadows layer for the GI and for tilt
- Add dynamic DropTarget shadows
- adjust ball shadow
- add SSF command in the script
- change the ball rolling sound
 
Version 1.0d2 Leeoneil made the following enrichment to the table:
- improved shadows through the targets
- DOF commands reviewed
- installation of new plastics provided by Kiwi
I was able to make this update:
- new left flipper fingers (without the back spot at the tip in rest position), thanks to Mrtr32
 
Version 1.0e
- ALL object sounds in operation and volume level balanced
- new material assignment and surface picture (JPSalas) for metal guides at upper flippers
- BG with more bulbs and improved light control - like the original
- BG now with "turning" score reels
 
Version 1.0f (replaces by 1.0f2)
- typical flat Gottlieb- styled drop targets
- new lighting concept for the BG using snippits
- "SHOOT AGAIN" added in BG using snippit
- new pics for cab- users
 - now with file attached, thanks to nagaidevil for his pm
 
Version 1.0f2
- new SHOOT AGAIN snippit graphic ennobled by STAT (thank you!)
-> now all light indicators show the same over exposition at the letter edges 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.

Thank you for your work !

For your question : you can use the method PlayHit() for activate the animation of the second bumper :

but it activate only the animation, not the method _Hit(), so if you want to add score and show lights, you must add the code of the Bumper1_Hit() into Bumper2_Hit() and vice-versa.

 

Example with the first bumper hit :

Sub Bumper1_Hit
    If TableTilted=false then
        Bumper2.PlayHit()
        ...
    end if    
End Sub

This is pretty damn nice. 

Thank you Mustang.  I'm sure Loserman76 would be happy with your refinements.  Keep going !

Mustang. always love a meaningful update to Losermans tables.  2 suggestions, you should get with Leeoniel, not sure if he is here but he is doing updates to LMs tables over at VPuniverse and team up because he is even redoing the dof.  also, the ball image is not very nice.  if you are looking for a brighter version of the ballHDR then its out there.  if not find one from JPs tables.  otherwise nice job and thanks

Vielen Dank für diese großartige Arbeit! Ich bin Jahrgang 1953 und habe oft und gern "Jack in the box" gespielt. Was den besonderen Reiz dieser Maschine ausmacht, ist vor allem der Kugeltanz zwischen Sling und Bumper. Bislang gab es keine richtige Umsetzung dieses Phänomens und ich dachte schon, dass man es mit VPX auch nicht umsetzen kann. "Jack in the box" war daher als Virtual-Pinball nicht mit dem Original vergleichbar und die bisherigen Umsetzungen waren für mich relativ reizlos. Irgendwie hast Du es aber geschafft die besondere Dynamik zwischen Kugel, Bumper und Sling herauszuarbeiten und dadurch spielt sich dieser Tisch fast wie das Original. Respekt! Ich habe gestern den ganzen Abend mit "Jack in the box" verbracht und es hat enorm Spaß gemacht. Tipp: Bei "Jungle" hat es den Kugeltanz auch gegeben. Da lässt sich bestimmt noch was machen. 

Hello !

I did the visual update (shadows, lights, etc), add some SSF script for Mustang ;) ...

The ball image is too dark for me, already tell Mustang, but i don't know, he love this one... So on my pincab i change the image ! :D

edit : hmmm, i'm not happy with the plastics rendering on the pincab... I'll do some changes tonight to correct it, sorry for that !

One of my favourite EM tables. Absolutely great work!

 

Thank you very much.

 

Maybe some day there is support for DOF? Would be perfect.

Guess what ?

I didn't check if there was some DOF ! For me it was ok but i didn't check... I was to in a hurry !

 

So i'll do it as fast as possible !

Ganz großes Lob für diese wunderbare Rekonstruktion! Für mich ist das nicht mehr und nicht weniger, als der VPX-Tisch mit der größten Realitätsnähe. Vor allem gefällt mir die meisterhafte Lichtführung, die dafür sorgt, dass diese Rekonstruktion so unglaublich plastisch in meinem Cabinet erscheint. Bitte bitte mehr davon! Da warten noch zahllose Loserman-Tische, die auch eine solche Veredelung verdient hätten.
