ship props huh? ok I'll look for them online and get them into the pin.

[faralos]

Do these props work? I also got some huts where they should be too, and changed the pyramid targets to look like just that. Let me know, I can always change stuff. up top the yellow treasure targets now have a treasure chest on them. They really aren't visible though and if you don't like them, I can always change them back. what are those red targets up top supposed to be? do you want anything special on them? the cool thing about targets is if you have a pic with a white background then the rest of the target doesn't show up at all (for whatever color you have marked as invisible, in this case white) just the pic hence those realistic looking huts and pyramids! How's it looking so far? does it meet your expectations? let me know of anything else you may want in it.

That is REALLY cool! I didn't realize that stuff like this could be done. I figured it would end up looking tacky, but you pulled it off wonderfully. Perhaps ditch the treasure targets for now, though. The other aspects are awesome! You really do need to get Windows Live messenger or something so we can pass the file back and forth and discuss it with ease

My next priority would probably be those ugly Jinjo targets. I have no idea what to do about them, but there's gotta be a solution better than colored square targets...

[faralos]

glad to see you liking it. Ok I looked up online for the jigglies(?) they are puzzle pieces so I have those two looking like the pieces I found. The Jumblies, near as I can find, look like big tomatos, so I got tomato pics cropped and pasted some eyes onto them and gave em teeth.! they are now the top drop targets. here are the jiggy shot and the jumby's I used for the upper drops! cute huh? I found Mr. George and his gal freezey cube things(can't recall their names atm) they will go in the place of the snowflakes; they are the true freeze mountain guardians anyhow (found all this on the rare site, see I must do research before I tackle a graphic update!) these are the kind of things that can be done knowing what we do now for the graphic updates, and if you switch to vp9 you can also have both see-thru ramps and upper levels.
Oh, I am now on yahoo IM as faralos i have you as a friend there but we aren't ever on at the same time apparently

Where exactly is the Jiggy to go? You get jiggies any time you start or complete a mode... Perhaps it could be placed somewhere by the Jiggy Counter.
Also, I'm very proud of you to be researching like that, but George the ice cube and his wife are actually from Banjo-Tooie, the game's sequel. I think the character in Banjo-Kazooie that would fit the best is Wozza the walrus. He lives in a cave, and since Freezeezy Peak is a ball lock, it could be like a cave... Also I like the tomatos, but it's kind of weird with white aroudn the edges... it's not qutie perfectly transparent. That's ok though, I can fix that with MS paint just by zooming in and making each pixel aroudn the edge solid white.

Also, I'm online on yahoo right now.

[faralos]

that white edge drove me nuts. I went into my paint programs into magnification mode and filled the area to ensure there wouldn't be just that but there it is. ah well. I will zip and upload the table here soon so you can fix the tomatoes. I'll look for walrus, yeah, I got confused when i realized there were sequels and with different characters. And what I'm doing is nothing short of what any of the newer table authors do for their pins, we go the extra mile to get good pics and things since deep down in the back of our minds we know our pins still must compete with those commercial remakes with all the neat toys! So thanks and glad ya; like it, ok so I have george and his gal for your NEXT (sequel?) pin I'll zip and load it now, and hunt down this walrus dude too!
The puzzle pieces, well you actually have two drop targets labeled Jiggy's or whatever is their exact name (escapes me atm) so that is where I put them. hope that is right
Ok the table now exceed the upload capacity the table is 9.5 the max here is 8.
Here is the target for you I'll pm ya' for an email to send you the table

Upload it to www.speedyshare.com it's pretty reliable. I don't think I have any targets labeled as Jiggies... Thanks again for you hard work!

ok this is where your table resides

[faralos]

ok here is the latest pic of the BK pin! I found Jinjo the green guy and have put him on the three targets, I took off the chests on the upper ones as well, and added Wally the walrus to the drop targets in front of freeze mountain, now I'm off to look for better freeze mountain pics for the top of it

ok I redid the bonus lights to resemble the puzzle pieces you collect to open new levels within the game. ok? Wally is now on both drop targets guarding freeze mtn. I redid the font on the 'light lock decals' so it's more legible. My eyes suck you can always change it back but this way I can read it too I am looking for 'cavern pics to better cover the tunnel at the left since it's to be a cavern I'll look for mountain shots. and then on my way to the top walls/plastics and maybe that shooter lane ramp...

Here is what I've got. I think I'm just about done with all the updating, and am ready for a 2.3g release. Everyone let me know if you have any other suggestions before I upload.

(I had to cut the bottom off in an image editor, because my start menu was in the way, but there's a lockdown bar and stuff)

Just a suggestion as to the white edges on your objects. Make sure that you have antialiasing turned off and if you make the transparent color black, the edges will look outlined in black if there are any pixels that are not pure black... that would look better then white. Then if you have any thing black that you don't want transparent, you will have to bump it up a shade. This is just my opinion of course.

[Theguyoverthere]

Yeah, me and faralos both tried very hard to get rid of the white edges. If we can ever get them perfected, I'll definitely update the table. There's always a few darn pixels...

By the way: The table is uploaded. Look for Banjo-Kazooie pinball Fancy Version, and if you don't have the music, grab the music pack too.

[faralos]

Wow! your score just destroyed mine! Told ya' i suck at playing! but I still love this table alot! those white jaggies are killing me. I went into my paint programs and filled it with another color hitting magnify and hand coloring every single pixel, then filling it in white again but still those white jaggies. sigh...I like the ramp cavern tie-in colors much better now that they blend into each other looking more seamless. Whew though! now back to all my WIP's (had another idea for another NEW table last nite), sigh creating new table designs just never seems to end for me, the horror oh the horror

That score might have been made during an earlier version, when scoring was easier... not sure
Any comments on the new version are appreciated!
