safe cracker would make a great b2s table

[vidmouse]

I have a FS version of Safecracker running on my pincab:



and have been trying to get permission from the main
authors of the original table to post. I got permission
from one, and the other I contacted hasn't replied, is
that good enough?

[bladexdsl]

yeah that's good enough all tables are made to be shared anyway and they should all by on this site

Sounds good, I'll plan to release later tonight.
(had a couple of requests for this already, didn't
realize it was such a popular table!)


EDIT:
Looks like I have to wait, as I need to get some
more permission first.

Actually, I don't think you have the right to speak on some else's behalf...

Untrue, sorry.

We respect our authors' wishes, and authors ask that you get permission prior to posting MODs.

@ Vidmouse - Who are you trying to contact?

@ Vidmouse - Who are you trying to contact?

I got an ok from Destruk but am trying to contact Pinball Ken.
And per this discussion and the listed authors I have yet to but should contact
Boris, Dorsola, Jive, Mr. Pinball, and rev063 too.

[Noah Fentz]

Where the heck has Pinball Ken been?

[TheMcD]

Lord only knows. But I think there are more pressing problems, like Boris (who's been LONG gone AFAIK) or Jive (who's dead). Did we have a case for deceased authors? Has somebody ever wanted to mod a Lander table?

Although I'd like to have this table shared, I agree on getting permission first.
In case someone goes of the grid or dies, I'd vote for a non-release.
All that is left is hoping someone picks it up and creates another one.

No doubt.

I am more than happy to wait for your version.
don't see the point of releasing the old one.

Fair enough.
For those that wanted my version, it is easy enough to make your own.
Download the VP8 desktop version and make the following changes:

1) Under backdrop, select all items and move them off the backdrop area.
2) Select "Options" then "Colors & Formatting", and make the following adjustments:

Inclination 47
Field of View 0
Layback 0
XY Rotation -90
X Scale 2
Y Scale 2.2
X Offset -265
Y Offset 400

I _think_ this is all the mods I made to it to get it to work. Oh, and I made a mod
to the script to have it work with UVP, but that's described in the UVP guide.

[bladexdsl]

would prob just be patient and wait for noahs it'll be built for vp9 properly afterall

Yeah.

I spent most of the afternoon chatting with him in his office, then I got glass-off pics of Safe Cracker, Kingpin, and BBB.

Nice guy.

How does he feel about the vp community. I've never asked him

[Noah Fentz]

He heard about it from me, but seemed to love the idea.

I'll be seeing him again, for sure.
