Today I finally got down to setting up your Pokemon table for my desktop
I thought it was absolutely awesome when it came out, but very difficult to play.

Now I have rebuilt hauntfreaks direct.b2s and sent FLEXDMD to direct.b2s.

 

 

A late thank you for this wonderful table

where might I find this rebuilt backglass with the moved DMD?

Thank you for awesome table!
I made a small video about it om my YouTube-channel!

Any idea how to move the DMD from the playfield to a 3rd screen?   what line is it located in the scirpt that i need to change

[jpsalas]

UPDATE

 

4.0 Updated 08.08.2022

- added my VPX7 physics

- updated the script with my latest fixes (highscore routine, LUT, rolling sounds...)

- new redesigned DMD images for better compatibility with FlexDMD

- added flexDMD as default for FS mode

- many battles now continue after they are restarted.

- new playfield

- plus many small fixes here and there, like adding a 10 sec ball saver at the start of catching a pokemon.

 

This update is mostly to add full support for FlexDMD, so I have redone the images, removing the grid, so it looks better on FlexDMD. Later I guess I'll make some better letters, transparent like in my newer originals. But they are good enough for now

I have also added my VPX7 physics, and a new LUT change routine which now it will give you 15 level of darkness for all of you with super bright screens  

There are some new mechanical sounds, and some new graphics.

 

The rules are the same, so for now I have not updated the manual, since the changes are just small fixes for a better play experience.

This latest revision 4 will use the FlexDMD in cabinet mode, so you can easily mode the DMD to a third screen.

Thank you JP for this big update.

Thanks JP looks great! I have not played this one yet and my daughter loves Pokemon!

UPDATE

 

4.0.1 Updated 09.08.2022

- fixed bug in the hole kick out which could create extra balls. Thanks chug for the bug report.

 

This is just a small bug fix. If you don't want to download the table again you can simply remove one line from the script, line 3593

 

vpmtimer.addtimer 1000, "CatchHoleExit '" 'repeat until all the balls are kicked out

 

All the ball going into the hole will call for an exit, so that line is not needed, and it may create an extra ball if you manage to get 2 or more balls in the hole at the same time. For the most part that line won't do anything, but since it is not needed then it it best to remove it

 

I have planned a new revision with better letters, transparent, and the DMD will look better. But it may take a week or so

A great table made even better, thanks for this.

 

I have two issues with it though:

- the ball lock hole release is very strong and frequently launches the ball straight into the right outlane.

- I can lower the volume of the super annoying looping music in the script, but that affects the special mode music as well - is there a way to lower (or remove) the standard music track and leave the rest intact?

Yes, the ball lock is a little "mean" But you can be happy of how it is now, since my first version used to send the ball at warp speed direct to the flippers. If you blinked the the ball was gone. At least now there is some random

 

You can always import another song replacing the mu_main. You can also export it, reduce the volume and imported again,  or you can simply delete that song

UPDATE

 

4.02 Updated 10.08.2022

- New DMD letters

- Better music quality, and lowered a little the volume

- Adjusted the Gi lights

- Changed the light inserts colors and made them non translucent.

- Adjusted the flashers

 

I didn't have much to do today, so here it is the final version. I felt the DMD needed better letters, so I made some new letters, and I fixed/updated a few things, like the lights and flashers. I also made a little weaker the ball lock kick out, now everyone will be happier. I had to talk to Venusaur and make him understand that kicking the ball so hard was not very good, and he agreed

The table is for children, so don't expect a very hard table, and the multiball is very easy to achieve, although it is a little hard to catch many Pokémon.

 

The main music volume is a little lower, and you can increase the volume of the songs by changing the line 11. Increase the value until it is high enough for you. The value is from 0 to 1.

I like the pup for this table but this newer version won't work with it.

Non of my tables have Pup packs, I don't make those, you'll need to find them other places.

This is why when someone asks "Can i release a PUP pack for your table"
i say NO

But you may copy the table fully intact, and do your PUP and release the table and the PUP together as a mod
under yourself

Too many PM's telling me a PUP doesnt work on XYZ table, when i have never made a PUP pak, ever
nor do i know the author that did, nor how to reach them etc

Thanks for the updates! I noticed a big file size difference between v4.0.1 and 4.0.2. The table went from 46mb to 18mb. Very nice and thanks for everything you do!

Yes, that's because I used the higher quality music and saved it in OGG format, thus replacing the low quality WAV files, saving almost 30mb. Still the pokemon music is quite annoying to me I chose the best battle tracks I could find

I had a Dallas Cowboys Spinner image on my Detroit Lions NFL mod for years, and only just fixed it recently on last update.

Not a peep out of any Lions fans and this was on it for years!

I am guessing not many people played the table much. lol
