Thanks to the previous authors. Visual layout changes only. Some pinup girls from artists Gil Elvgren, Alberto Vargas and Edward Runci with accompanying background music at media pack link (unzip to Music/hottip folder, right magnasave = next song, left magnasave = stop music). Backglass included in updated media pack link.

ALGUN B2S PARA ESTA MESA YA QUE EL B2S DE LA TABLA ORIGINAL NO CORRESPONDE

GRACIAS

Begs for a B2s

Thanks for the feedback, I'll try to work up and post a backglass this weekend. 

Using the below code from an earlier forum post for the music tracks, but keeps going back to the 1st song after any song completes. Will update with fix once I know what the issue is.

I haven't tried it myself, but just looking at the code I wonder if it would work changing this:

 

If musicNum = 5 Then
    musicNum = 0
End If

 

To this code:

 

If musicNum = 4 Then

    musicNum = 0
End If

 

Or try this maybe?

 

If musicNum = 5 Then PlayMusic "hottip/TheGirlFromIpanema.ogg"

    musicNum = 0
End If

 

 

I hope any of that helps! I'm not too experienced with coding myself, but I've changed/modified/analyzed enough code in my life that I can at least understand functions and its intended outcomes fairly well. Also, I use chatGPT quite a bit to help me with coding, debugging, and understanding code. Just throwing it out there if you don't do that already or haven't tried it yet! It's extremely well at assisting with coding, understanding a script or functions, and creating detailed scripts from scratch using your ideas and guidance, or have it come up with its own ideas and scripts. I like to do that after training it a bit on a single task or project, like VPX table scripting. I've gotten one open thread now on chatGPT that is trained fairly well on only VPX, pinball, virtual pinball, DOF, etc. After a while of trying ideas and correcting chatGPT when it was wrong, its now at a point where it can create a complete VPX table script that actually works amazingly well. Depending on how thorough and in depth your table will be it varies obviously. But I can already tell for someone like myself who doesn't know much about coding, at the very least chatGPT can help you INCREDIBLY well with starting table scripts and using them for a reference. Or you can copy and paste a chunk of code and just ask chatGPT "What does this code snippet below actually mean? And what will it execute when its ran?" Most of the time it will give you a very detailed and thorough answer that is correct as well. I'm planning on trying to create my first VPX table soon, using chatGPT as much as possible to help me. Kind of as an experiment to see what it can do and how far I can push it. Then I plan on posting a detailed thread about the entire experience, documenting the process. Then if it works fairly well and actually helps a lot, other creators who have considered doing this can see how I did it, and what's actually possible for chatGPT to assist you with.

 

Back to your topic at hand, let me know if you figure out the music problem or if my suggestions helped. Great table by the way! Great artwork and look :) Keep on pinballing!

No expert but Should it not be picking a randon number for the track ?

Function RndNbr(n) 'returns a random number between 1 and n

    Randomize timer
    RndNbr = Int((n * Rnd) + 1)
End Function

Thanks folks for the coding suggestions, turned out I had some earlier code I was experimenting with with random song selections that I forgot to comment out(doh!). I work with software(python,R,javascript/HTML,perl,C) and databases(SQL) for work and Visual Basic makes sense other than getting used to the language syntax. Thanks Zuxif for the tip on chatGPT, I wholly agree and have used it for some boilerplate and starting code and interesting following where those AI efforts take us, while at the same time recognizing the need to proof the AI work for 'hallucinations' and blind spots. Looking forward to reskinning some other easier-to-mod SS or earlier tables, if folks have suggestions on tables and/or themes let me know. 

Thanks for this mod.

FYI, in order for the custom backglass to display properly (graphics from the original backglass were popping into view), I removed the following illumination frames from my copy of the backglass:

L57 L58 L59 L60 IL62

(I'm using B2S Server 2.0.2)

I would love to see an update for a VP9 table that as far as I know has not been made or converted to VPX yet. Its a funny name, Mach Two 2.0, if you search for it you'll find the one I'm talking about. Not sure if that is out of your skillset to convert it, but the VP9 version didn't look too bad. Also I would really like to see an update to an older 32assassin table called Spy Hunter, it's a very fun and underrated table IMO. A very weird and unique playfield layout as well. It still holds up nice and looks great, but it could use a lighting and physics refresh at the least. Just some suggestions that came to mind quick! Take care

Thanks for the notes on the backglass illuminations, first time working with the backglass designer tool version 1.27 and mostly made sense although I didn't seem able to delete snippets in the resources window and some other issues with snippet frame edits in the designer tool saving/exporting properly.
