[Sabbat]

Thank you for both versions of this amazing looking table!! currently in the middle of ball 2 on the 4:3

[Rawd]

This is a great table! You did an amazing job with no rom. Why is the rom not available for this machine?

I LOVE the new ball image

Not supported in PinMAME.

[Sabbat]

please see my post in the 4:3 thread. I LOVE THE TABLE!!!

but is it suppose to be so easy? Add-A-Ball every 500k or so plus an extra ball you can shoot for? I had to give up before my game was eve finished.

DOWNLOADER BEWARE

I tryed to load the FS version of this table and it crashed my PC to a blue screen and restarted itself.

I tryed to load this version a 2nd time and my whole screen went black and took 2 mins to recover. Now I am getting pixelation all over my screen and I have to reboot now a 2nd time....

Thanks JPSalas for another FanTasTic Table recreation!

When you want the Backglass to be shown during gameplay, add (as normally) the Backglass image in the appropriate HyperPin directory, and add the Table to the Visual Pinball.xml as you would normally do.

Thanks to bitupset for the HD Video provided!

Cheers,
FD.

Beautiful table JP. It looks and plays great on my dual monitor PC with the 4x3 version, but the FS version shows a wood playfield with no detail. Must be the size of the graphic? I have only seen this once with a UW table where I had to resize the graphic in order for the playfield to show up.

I have a GeForce 9400GT with 1GB ram. I have tried HD render on or off, it doesn't make a difference. I have tried VP 9.07, 9.08 and 9.09, no difference. Looks like the graphic is the standard 1024x2048, what do you think?

I just played a game with 9.07 with no problems, crashes out in 9.09 though every time.

[jpsalas]

Yes, in this FS version I have used 1024x2048 images for the playfield and plastics. It is strange, luvthatapex, that you can't run the table since you have an Nvidia card with 1Gb memory. But you can always download the 4:3 version and extract the images. I think there are about 13 images (pf, plastics and ramps).

I know it is a bit easy, but if you play as bad as I do then it is perfect I you find it too easy then make the outlanes a little bigger and reduce the size of the flippers

Well, I'm using Vp909 and both versions work fine (FS and 4:3).

Easy tables make you feel a great player, even if you are not

Forgot to say thank you JP, this table has really piqued my interest, I like the layout alot and I have never seen this machine before. Must have been alot of work to do the workaround for the rom. Big thank you again.

[TheKeef]

Sorry for the double post, but it seems whenever I score the extra ball on the middle left, designated by the green target, I reset to ball 3 counting down to 1 again, even if I am acutally playing my third and final ball.
If you can score the extra ball, it acts like a reset without losing your score basically.

Thank you JP for yet another wonderful recreation. This is a great table to be released so close to Halloween.

There is an error in the script, which will give you 2 extra balls instead of 1. When you hit the 4 left targets and turn on the 4 green lights then another hit to the 4th target will turn on the "Shoot Again" light, giving you an extra ball. But in the script it gives you also an extra ball. To remove this extra ball you need to comment the line 1111 ('AddABall). I'll make a fix this weekend and I'll update the table.

Also the Special lights should give you an extra credit instead of an extra ball for a more realistic behaviour.

I just tried the table for the first time this morning and I get the same problem too With HD Render off I get a wood grain only playfield and with HD Render on I get an all white playfield. I have a 260GTX 1gb and I guess I will try extracting the images from the 4:3 and import into the FS and see how it goes later.

I still played the table anyways and plays great as does every table made by jp. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[jpsalas]

OK, let me explain it a little: with HR Off then you can't use images bigger than 1024x1024, and it doesn't matter which graphic card you have.
A Nvidia card with 512Mb or 1Gb should not have problems using HR On, and most of the tables will play fine, but some will need 1Gb Ram.
If you have a Nvidia Card (9400 and up) with 1Gb, HR should work and all the tables should play fine. If not I'm sure that something is wrong with the drivers or setup. If unsure install the latest driver from Nvidia. Many said that driver 182.50 is a good one. I'm using the latest with my GTS 250 with 1Gb and it works very well, but I only use 1 monitor.

So, things to check for or do: run dxdiag and check that the card passes the Dx tests or check that the dx features are enabled, if something is wrong reinstall the graphic card driver, that should help settings things up. If you run XP another thing is to update the directx too.

[mwong168]

Hi jp, I've never had this problem before with any of your other tables before and I am running XP with the 182.50 drivers in my 3 screen cab. So not sure what you did different with this one but from the screen shot it looks really nice. I will check my DX version but so far all 170+ of my other tables load and look fine.

[Hos_Nos]

Not sure if you already knew this but the first time you turn on HD rendering and hit play you'll get a white playfield. You need to save the table, close it, and then open it back up. I had a white playfield when I turned on the HD and it corrected itself after I saved an reloaded.

If it is still happening then it must be something else, sorry.

BTW JP, this table is awesome and perfect for my Halloween party!!!

Thanks again for doing such a great job:)
