Update.

Table is really coming along nicely. . Did some more tweaking on the material for the MM too. Also the Bully movement is now correct. He now falls backward.

 

Lighting is now mostly dialed in and I have added my Funhouse physics to the table. The table really feels good and plays awesome.

 

Here is an updated teaser pic:

Thanks wrd, can't wait to play your updated table.  The last version is a lot of fun too.  Your FH physics are real good and that table is now one of the most played at my house.

 

Thanks for all your work and for sharing with all of us!

The graphic improvements are very nice, the table is looking great. However, I think the physics improvements are a downgrade from 1.3. 

Just based off of the videos i've watched, It seems like 1.3 physics are more comparable to the actual table. 

1.4 flippers and impacts feel too strong imo.

 

Just my own personal feedback. I definitely appreciate the hard work you're putting into the table! Thank you!

Thanks for the feedback. I will take another look at the flippers. :)

Here is a new version to try. Physics should be much more like the previous revision.

The Mixmaster's speed is still bugged. both SpinUp and SpinDown need to be positive values, or instead of shutting off it'll accelerate forever. The acceleration values are way too low as well.

 

These values seem reasonable to me

    ttcentre.InitTurnTable trMixMaster,240
    ttcentre.CreateEvents "ttcentre"
    ttcentre.SpinUp = 240
    ttcentre.SpinDown = 240

Here is my latest Refresh WIP:

More lighting changes and I have rolled in the MM changes fozzy referenced.

https://www.dropbox.... 1.4_x.vpx?dl=0

 

I am still dialing in the Mixmasters exit width. Still seems the ball is exiting too fast but that can be dialed in with the two posts and rubbers at the MM's exit.

 

Let me know what you guys think please.

Okay gang. Try out my latest refresh:

https://www.dropbox.... 1.4_z.vpx?dl=0

I think I am nearly there barring any issues you guys might find. Should be able to wrap this one up by the weekend. Let me know what you think.

exceptional stuff.  This table and wrd1972 should be held up as an great example of the way refining the physics can make a VPX table amazing.

Custom white flippers aren't working for me. They load in and are stuck at the 12:00 position.

That happened sometimes if you start a table the first time. If I had this problem a restart of the table always solve the error.

Selecting white flippers or having them pop up using the random flipper option will always cause the white flippers to be at the 12:00 position. Regardless of using f3 to restart or exiting vpx all together the white flippers do not work on my table.

Yes the white flipper option has a bug. That will be fixed.

Thanks for bringing it to my attention. :)

OK, just load the table and indeed, the white flippers aren't working.

You can play with invisble flippers and shoot the ball. A new challenge. :-)
