nice work the table looks great.. :-)

Really fantastic job, vivid colors just looks awesome!  If you set your plastics to "Alpha" it's really sweet!

How do you set plastics to alpha?

Great release for a sometimes overlooked classic, thanks!

In the editor click on the edge of one of the plastics.  (You want to select just the clear edge part of the plastic) In the right window you will see the various options for that object. Under colors and Formatting you should see 3 radio buttons Solid, Acrylic, and Alpha.  (The ones you want to change are those marked as Acrylic) If you don't see those buttons you don't have the right piece selected.  Simply change the acrylic ones to Alpha.

 

Some times you will need to change the image that is being used for the "transparency" because the clear plastic will look like it has a checker pattern.  However, this table already has an image that works just fine so you only have to change the radio button from acrylic to Alpha on each plastic that has a "Clear" look to it. 

 

The masters can give you a better explanation of why this is, just know that Alpha produces a much more realistic clear and translucent plastic than the older Acrylic method does.

Crashes my 9.9 on load, every time.

Excellent redraw dyopp21!

 
VP supports images 4096x4096 px maximum (playfield and plastics images are much larger than 4096 px),

images greater than 4096 pixels VP should automatically resize them, but it could be the cause of the crash signaled by CJS.

 

Thanks

   Crashing for me as well. Hope you can find a fix. I put a lot of quarters into this table way back when. Thanks

[Shadowsclassic]

The crashes must be a setting off somewhere.  My test rig is pretty low end, 8y/o 2 gig. ram, 1 gig. Nvidia 9800. I can even set this table to unlimited textures and it runs okay. (I usually have to leave that at 1024 for most tables) This is definatly not a system killer if it runs this smooth on my system.

Looks very good, thank you.

[BobAlbright]

Thanks SC--I lowered the textures down one notch from unlimited and it's working now.

Version 1.1 released.  Noticed some issues with the original this morning.

 

Version 1.1-

 

-Changed all plastics to alpha.

-Adjusted inserts for darker "off" position.

-Fixed wires in rollovers for top lanes and in and out lanes to appear correctly.

Yes I do. The update must be in the process of approval and posting

[dyopp21]

Just tried it.  It's working now.

[The Loafer]

No, as the author you have access to download however we are still waiting for the permission to be granted.  Good things come to those who wait

[dyopp21]

Sorry.  I still have so much to learn about contributing!
