File Name: JP's Cyclone (Williams 1988)

File Submitter: jpsalas

File Submitted: 30 Mar 2022

File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): jpsalas
Manufacturer: Williams
Year: 1988
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval

Based on the Williams table from 1988.
 
The table has been made using parts of Sliderpoint's Cyclone, so many thanks to him for allowing me to mod his table. But instead of just doing a mod I rebuilt the table and I used some parts of his table, like the wheel and the wall plastics This way I could rebuild the table much faster and make the rubbers and other objects the way I do my tables and physics.
 
I also would like to thank Balutito and AnonTet for their ideas of a dark theme and inspiration, even if they didn't participate directly on the table. 
 
This table is dedicated to Fourbanks, since he asked me to make this dark version.
 
This is another of my series of tables called "JP's..." so this means it is similar to the original, but not exactly. In this table only the graphics are different, the layout and game play should be the same. 
I have added a lot of lights to the table, so maybe it is a little too much, but there were so many flashers that I wanted to add them all.
 
About the backdrop wheel: yes it moves just in 16 steps. I wanted a nice wheel, not a distorted one, and I wanted lights and flashers, and the only thing I could use for the wheel was a reel. As you may know reels don't rotate so I had to make 16 images of the wheel to be used in the reel. Maybe later if VPX supports for other objects on the backdrop, like flashers or primitives, then I'll make a better wheel
 
So this table also is small in size, but the playfield and plastics graphics are 2048x4096, so the table will look nice on your cabinets
And if the table isn't dark enough for you, I have added the LEFT and Right CTRL keys to make it darker (just 10 steps), as in all my latest tables.
 
I don't know if the table plays better than Sliderpoint's table, but at least is a small download  
 
Enjoy

Thank you JP and friends for this beautiful table.

[jpsalas]

@fourbanks, im up to date as of todays beta

 

I made the table with the official release of VPX7. I haven't tried the beta yet.

[jpsalas]

I see now that there is a possibility that the ball can be lost in the subway, so I'll fix it

[wtiger]

Looks and plays great.  Thanks JP!

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Updated 31.03.2022

- Fixed ball getting lost in the boomerang subway. It is still not 100%, but it is better than before

 

It didn't happen so very often, but I saw the possibility of the ball getting lost. So I have built walls around all the places and tried to get it as closed as possible. I'm not sure if it is 100% fixed, but it should be better than before.

Yes, the "huge" size is because of the extra music which is 2.3Mb otherwise it should have been just under 10Mb  

[Pin-Pete]

Thanks for release. Gonna d'load it, when getting home.

JP taking advantage of it, I thought the idea of including the theme song was really good, congratulations!

I just wanted to know where I can adjust the volume of the music, because in my case, the music overlaps the original sounds of the table... I wanted to create a balance so as not to lose the details of the sounds of the table.

 

I even thought about it here... as a suggestion... I don't know if it's possible, but is there a way to leave the theme song you included playing just before the start of a match and at the end of the match? thus keeping the original sounds of the table during the game, you know?

Recently, large tables are about 400MB.

I feel that the image size is too large even for small objects.

This smallness is magical.

[STAT]

teisen, you can turn off the extra music in the first Lines in Script with = false.

 

otherwise, try to export music file, import in (free) Audacity Software (if you know), reduce Volume, save, and reimport to VPX.
