File Name: Motorhead (England)

File Submitter: batch

File Submitted: 16 Sep 2018

File Category: VPX Originals

Author(s): Batch (Desktop & FS versions)
32assassin (original table Blackout)
flupper1 (flashers)
Thalamus (7.1 sound)
Jogrady7 (Music Mod in the script)
Permission to MOD?: No

8.1:  Default settings are now with no music, table sounds only.

       To be able to listen to your mp3 files when you play this table, you have to open the script and do the following :

       UnComment Lines from 1042 to 1063

       Line 1042 : Change ->  Const myMusicFolder ="THE PATH TO YOUR MUSIC FOLDER"  

       to, example :  -> Const myMusicFolder ="c:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Music\MotorHead" (the name of the directory that has YOUR mp3 files)

       UnComment Lines 215 and 216 to add the commands to catch the right and left Magna Keys in the KeyDown function

      In addition, you can UnComment the Line 209 in the Table1_Init sub to start music when you launch the table

      Thanks a lot to Jogrady7 for his method and for telling me !
 
 
8.0: Updated lighting for VP10.8 (no more sunglasses needed !). Thanks to JP Salas for his help !

       You can now listen to music using MagnaSave buttons (CAB) or CTRL keys (PC), RIGHT (launch music or next track), LEFT (stop music).

       You just have to create a "Motorhead" folder in VPinball -> Music and put your mp3 files inside.

       I did a mix of "JP Salas" and "HiRez00" methods.

       I also added a new ball sent to me by "me337".
 
 
1.2: Removed mp3 files from the upload
 
       If you want to listen to music when playing this table, you have to import your own mp3 files into the VPinball / Music folder
 
      Rename them like that, Motorhead01, Motorhead02 and so on, and then uncomment lines 85,86, and from 94 to 130 in the script (see the image below)
 
      If you import less songs, don't forget to change the quantity, line 125 (mod XX)
 

 
 
 
1.1: No changes, all the files (Table, B2S backglasses, Music, Wheel) are now in the same download
 
1.0: I wanted to do an original table, trying to use all I had learned since the beginning of VPX,

but I realized I knew not much, and I sure wouldn't have been able to finish it without VPForums community's help

So, at first, thanks to 32assassin for his permission to use his table "Blackout" as a starting point, and his help for the script when I started to work on this table


Special thanks to:

Flupper1 for his flashers template and his help, he raised this table standards to a much higher level !
Here is what he did:
- Flasher domes with prerendered additional flashing effect on the playfield
- flashers in the shooter lane with a dimmed looping light effect when the ball is waiting in the shooterlane
- script option to change the color of all flashers and GI lights
- shadow layer on the playfield
- FS Settings

Thalamus for his help, advice, and his 7.1 sound

Xenonph for his help and advice (b2s, rom sounds... )

Wizball for telling me how to make a new song start when the one before is finished and the ball didn't yet went to drain

And thanks also to many others like Kiwi, Fuzzel... for their availability and help (sure I forgot some of you !)

And, of course, enormous thanks to VPX and VPinMAME developers !
 

Sript options:

If you want to change the color of all flashers and GI lights, it's from line 5 to line 9 in the script (just uncomment the line with the color you like, but you can also add your own ones)

If you want to change sounds volumes, it's from lines 25 to 36 in the script . (WARNING ! Bumpers value never more than 1, it could make your speakers worse)
You also can change Right Slingshot volume (line 797) & Left Slingshot volume (line 815), default value is 5

For Desktop users, the default backdrop is GREEN, but in "Table / Image Manager" you'll find a BLACK & WHITE, a BLUE, and a RED ones


As I used table Blackout (Williams) to make this one, you need to use the ROM "blkou_l1"
 
You can find the rules with the table file, and also in Table / Table Info


Why a Motörhead table ? Because it's the best rock 'n' roll band in the world !

All the 30 songs you will listen to while playing this table, except "Motörhead", are from the three albums "Overkill", "Bomber" and "Ace of Spades",

with Lemmy Kilmister (1945 - 2015), Fast Eddie Clarke (1951 - 2018) and Philthy Animal Taylor (1954 - 2015)
 
Extract mp3 files from "Motorhead_Music" to your VPinball / Music folder

Hope Motörhead and Rock 'N' Roll fans will like this table, and perhaps those who didn't know this band and don't listen to this kind of music too !

Lemmy said, "We are Motörhead and we play Rock 'N' Roll"

So, let there be Sound... Lights... Drums... Guitar... Bass Guitar... Let there be MOTÖRHEAD...

I was waiting for this table, it looks very nice and I like the music. For my personal opinion, the flashing efects are a bit to much and over-brighten. But, thats subjective, and just my 2 cents...

Awesome, man! Love it and can't wait to try it out. One of the few originals that doesen't look like one. Like i said before, Stern needs a Motörhead table.....

[humanoide]

very nice.

thanks  

[kalavera]

congratulate you, the table is played very well, and the theme is very original, especially for those who like this great band, thanks for sharing.

[meek424424]

This table looks great, plays great, and the sound is wonder. Super fun to play. Thank you and great work! 

[batch]

A big thank to all of you, more than 350 downloads in a day, I didn't expect there would be so much !

 

I know that Motörhead is neither a general public nor an "in vogue" band, but many people like their music and will never forget them

 

So I sure didn't waste my time in doing this table and it's the most important thing !

 

Handzoverfist, you can do the FSS version, PM me if you need something (backglass image ...)

 

Now, I'll work on a table about a German Heavy Metal band, even less well known than Motörhead, ACCEPT, when UDO was the singer !

thanks Batch for Motörhead. 

[humanoide]

excellent batch

I believe that pinball and hard rock sound make a good symbiosis, I will be attentive to your next project with ACCEPT as a guest star

[hanzoverfist]

Excellent table batch and as promised working on FSS. Here is what the backglass is looking like A.T.M.

 

It's a composite of 13 images... haha kidding 12 images.. now I wish it had been 13!!!

Excellent, Batch, I love it! The even more bulb style looks so crude, just perfect in my eyes.

 

But I can't even bare the silence after ball out and game over

[Zedixair]

Tout nouveau dans ce monde, je découvre qu'il y a des "fous furieux" qui mettent à disposition leurs oeuvres pour en faire profiter les fans, alors un GRAND MERCI Batch pour ce flipper MOTORHEAD ! Respect !

 

I'm a newbie in this "virtual Pinball world", and I'm just discovering that huge fans are very kind to let us play with their marvellous creations, so BIG THANX to Batch for this MOTORHEAD PINBALL ! 

[Mark70]

Absolutely awesome look, sound and gameplay! Really an impressive work batch!

 

And the announcement about your next project is super awesome too!
Can already imagine shooting the ball while hearing Midnight Mover!

[RacerRiders]

Anyone else have issues loading this one in Popper? Fine out of it but keep getting an error in it.

[1015eclipse]

Thank you Batch table is awesome, I added 32 songs in a Motorhead folder within the music folder and added this randomize routine  so it wouldn't start with song 1 each game.

Dim musicNum : Dim musicEnd
Sub LaunchMusic_Unhit

    Dim FileSystemObject, folder, r, ct, file, musicPath, myMusicFolder
    myMusicFolder = "Motorhead" ' the directory name where your mp3 files are storied, must be a subfolder of Visual Pinball\music
    Set FileSystemObject = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    musicPath = FileSystemObject.GetAbsolutePathName(".") ' get path to Visual Pinball\table
    musicPath = Left(musicPath, Len(musicPath) - 6) + "music\" 'get path to Visual Pinball\music
    Set folder = FileSystemObject.GetFolder(musicPath + myMusicFolder)
    Randomize
    r = INT(folder.Files.Count * Rnd + 1)
    ct=1
    For Each file in folder.Files 'get every file in myMusicFolder, for each one count it and see if the count matches the random number
        if ct = r Then  ' random file found
            if (LCase(Right(file,4))) = ".mp3" Then ' can only play mp3 files
               PlayMusic Mid(file, Len(musicPath) + 1, 1000) ' PlayMusic defaults to Visual Pinball\music\, need to get myMusicFolder\song name
            End If
       End If
   ct = ct + 1
   Next
 End Sub
 
'Sub Table1_MusicDone() 'may not be called Table1

Hi, I just uploaded version 8.0 working with VP10.8.

 

I also renamed the B2S file from Motörhead to Motorhead, so you can download it again, or, if you already have it, rename it by yourself.

 

You can now listen to music using MagnaSave buttons (CAB) or CTRL keys (PC), RIGHT (launch music or next track), LEFT (stop music).

You just have to create a "Motorhead" folder in VPinball -> Music and put your mp3 files inside.
