Not sure why I am not getting any rom sounds. DOF working.  VP9 version works with sounds, but so far nothing.  any suggestions.  running 10.1.  I've tried both "spiderm7" and "spidermn" roms.

Thank you gtxjoe - Looks great!

 

I owned this pinball machine years ago. It had it's share of electronic problems but I was always able to fix things. Was a fun machine to play & great when having a party,

Nevermind.  I realized I disabled sound on the vp9 version (when I was learning how to add my own mp3's) and never enabled it back.  Funny how script on vp9 table will affect the script on a vp 10.1 table.  Hmmm...opens up a whole new level of trouble shooting in the future.  Anyhow, never mind the question.  Thanks for another great table.  The improved table image alone makes this one a keeper.  My daughter absolutely loves this one, especially with the Buble jazzy theme song added to the background.  Nothing like seeing my 10 year old daughter showing off pinball games to her friends.  Keep doing what you are doing because you creators are the best!

Thanks, gtxjoe, it's a pleasure for an old guy like me to play tables like this one

 

I did a backdrop for the VP9 version and I tried to use it with your VPX version

 

Here is a snapshot

 

 

The backdrop to import in Table / Image Manager

 

 

And DT settings

 

 

Hope you like it

 

Question : is it your car ?

Nice work Batch.  

 

I do plan to improve the original desktop backglass (kiwi provided one to me) and add the LED scoring support.  I will see if I can use your  backglass also.

Please see attached snippet screenshot which shows all B2S related entries. I don't see any option to set B2S to true?? The B2S will not load for me.

if you using 10.1 you need to go into the "user" folder find controller.txt and make sure the first line look like thins
forcedisableB2S=0    <---if the zero is a 1 make it s a zero

 

if your using 10.2 go under the preferences tab , click keys/dof and to the bottom right make sure disable B2S is unchecked 

 

and also make sure the Table and B2S are the same name

[bpjacobsen]

Hmm, it is set to 0 in the controller script file. I don't have an option for B2S disable in prefs - keys. running 10.1. will loading 10.2 mess up any other vpx tables?
OK, scratch all that. I'm a dunce. seems I had two files, one called amazing spider-man.vpx and another called The amazing spider-man.vpx. I removed the extra one and made sure the B2s matches.
It's working fine now. ugh. 20+ minutes of my life I won't get back. lol

I used to own this table & thought that the rubbers were somewhat whiter. That was years ago & maybe my memory is off. But I figured why not experiment & see if they can be whitened up a little.

I looked around & noticed the Material Manager & in the left hand column was something labeled “Rubber White”. I played around with the settings & the Base Color did change the rubber color. Changing the original off-white to full-on white didn’t seem to make any perceptible difference. I could make the rubbers red or green so I thought I was on the right track. Just couldn’t make them white. I played around with the Glossy & Clearcoat Layers but that didn’t seem to have any affect on the whiteness.

Is there some other setting that is limiting how white the rubbers or possibly other items can get?

 

Thanks again for a great table.

Hey Brer Frog... uncheck up at the top in that material where it says "metal material" and see if that does anything for you.

[Brer Frog]

Drybonz -

 

Thank you very much. Unchecking the "metal material" did the job perfectly. I tried pure white to see how it would look but that was too much so I kept the original color.

 

Thanks again.

[Drybonz]

That "metal" setting can make things dark sometimes.  You can play with the material colors in there without affecting the way anything works on the table unless you mess with the stuff in the "physics" box at the top.  The physics settings can affect the way the table plays.

[Brer Frog]

I noticed the Red Rubber did not have the "metal material" checked. I checked it to see how much difference it would make. It made no appreciable difference, probably because the red rubber was relatively dark, at least compared to the white rubber.

 

Thanks again.

Was playing this in DT mode and frequently the playfield did not display until I clicked on an empty area of the Windows screen.

 

IIRC this used to happen on some tables until I found out the cause & fixed it. I searched & Googled but could not find how to fix the problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Mike
