Download Dolly Parton (Bally 1979)-JGB-Mod v100

(R.I.P. Dolly Parton)
 
!!! - Requires VPX 10.8.1 - !!!
 
This project started off as a proof of concept in creating a workflow for AI to convert a table with VPW-like physics/sound/targets/lighting. However, this wasn't just magically done by AI, it still required many hours of manual programming and testing, but AI did prove invaluable in a number of areas, and created various novel solutions for specific physics issues and features. The script retains many of the comments generated by AI during the building/iteration process.
 
I want to send out my sincere gratitude to JPSalas for allowing me to modify his excellent Dolly Parton table and to share it with everyone.

' Based on Dolly Parton v600 by JPSalas

'
' This table is a modification of JPSalas' Dolly Parton.  My sincere thanks
' to JPSalas for the original table and for his many years of contributions
' to the Visual Pinball hobby.  I would also like to thank bord for his 
' outstanding Stars table with it's physics/sound work,
' which provided inspiration and reference for many of these updates.
'A big thanks also goes out to PinStratsDan for playtesting and feedback.

' DOLLY "AM RADIO" / MUSIC CONTROLS
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' - Music starts with a game and continues playing through the game.
' - RIGHT MAGNA SAVE selects the next Dolly track.
' - LEFT MAGNA SAVE selects the previous Dolly track.
' - A manual station change fades out the current song, plays an AM-radio
'   tuning/static effect, then fades the selected song back in.
' - When a song ends naturally, the radio crossfades directly into a random
'   different Dolly track without the tuning/static effect.
' - LOCKBAR / FIRE toggles the music system OFF and ON.  Re-enabling it during
'   an active game starts the radio again with a fresh track.
'

' JGB MOD ADDITIONS
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
' - nFozzy Flipper Tricks, live catches, donor flipper physics, and flipper
'   polarity / velocity correction.
' - Bord/VPW-style rubber physical materials, CoR tracking, and velocity-based
'   rubber dampening, with separate sound tuning for bands, posts, and pins.
' - VPW-style standup-target and drop-target collision / animation systems.
' - Fleep mechanical sound system plus rolling, bounce, ball-to-ball, flipper,
'   rubber, metal, spinner, gate, saucer, target, and cabinet sound tuning.
' - Direction-sensitive spinner resistance and corrected Gate gravity/sound handling.
' - Predictive outbounce / flipper-stop wire behavior: fast balls can hop the
'   low wire before collision, with angle-aware XY trajectory adjustment and
'   a dedicated metal-wire clink; slow balls still interact with the wire.
' - Directional ball shadows and dynamic flipper-shadow synchronization.
' - Embedded Dolly "AM radio" music system with manual station selection,
'   tuning static, automatic crossfades, and Lockbar / Fire music toggle. 
' - Desktop-only dark-arcade room lighting plus enhanced backglass and Dolly
'   Parton logo illumination; cabinet/fullscreen users keep normal table light.
