Thank you very much Devonian!
These sounded great in your video in the original post. I can see why you consider it one of the best features of your cabinet.
The amount of time spent putting this together must be staggering. Appreciate this very much!

I'm downloading the file now but not sure where to put the mp3s once unzipped.....in my Tables/music folder?
Can someone give me some direction here?
Thanks!

Unzip the file and place it somewhere you can find it again (Pinball X Media would be a good place :-)). Open up the pinball X game management program.. Click on the word wheel, you will then get a drop down box, now select audio. Then hit import. You will be prompted to select the location of the audio files. Open this folder, in the search type a few letters of the audio file you're looking for (just because there is so many). Then select the file you require. If you repeat the process it should bring back to the same location for the MP3's each time. When your done close the management program. It will save the changes for you. The next time you run Pinball X those tables will have the associated audio playing.

I came along five hours after posting and the dropbox is down due to excessive traffic.  Anybody know how long Dropbox's temporary suspension generally lasts?  I don't want to miss this one!

 

Edit: Never mind.  I found the answer: 24-72 hours for a first offense;  much longer for a second or third.

 

 

As promised here is a link to my dropbox for a limited time (until I need the space again) 500 plus bespoke Attract mode MP3's for Pinball X Please use and feel free to share. This is my way of giving something back.

I'm getting the same error from Dropbox. 

"Error (429)

This account's links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!"

 

 

What does the first/second offense mean and when might the account be accessible again?

It seems I'm still stuck here with respect to placing these files in the correct places....dang......
Hope someone can help out here yet with a few questions........I'm a real slow study with this.....I apologize in advance. You should of seen what I went through just to get the B2S Backglasses up and running.

I have the unzipped "table audio" folder now placed inside my PinballX/ Media folder......do I keep the MP3's inside the "table audio" folder, or do I remove them?

When devorian says to "open the Pinball X game management program" does he mean the Pinball X setup wizard,cause that is where I am and I see no word "wheel" to click onto. I'm thinking that I'm looking in the wrong place.....

Thanks for any and all help!

Edit: I figured it out....thanks for the instructions devorian.....I can be such a dumb s**t at times.
Man this is awesome! Between this great audio addition and gtxjoes PBX recorder curb appeal in my cabinet is through the roof😍
Thanks to all for these great additions to our cabinets/desktops.!!!!

The dropbox link still bring a 429 error - link is generating too much traffic.  

 

Any other way to obtain these great audio files?

 

Thanks.

It seems a Dropbox suspension could be indefinite They really get the arse with high volumes of traffic for a free user.  :killwithfire:  What they do is leave you hanging until you upgrade or sit it out. :BDH:  So my temporary solution is to use another site.  :dblthumb: I will try and PM those who showed an interest but missed out first time around. Then in a day or two I'll post the new link. Hopefully the demand should be less as not to provoke on any further infringements. Otherwise people may need to share with others who managed to download it first time around.

At the risk of increasing the download fervor, this set of audio files represent an amazing amount of time and effort.  They are well worth the long download time.  Great quality and a great deal of thought went into choosing each and every one.  Page through your tables with these installed and you're sure to crack a smile.  Thank you again.


BTW, does anybody else think it odd that a file sharing service considers the sharing of files to be an "offense?"  I mean, they are okay with a little file sharing, but you better not start to get good at it or all Hell breaks loose...

Thanks for sharing I will have to download this also for my cab :)

Regarding download/sharing limits. That's what I would expect from a free Dropbox account. The Dropbox Pro or Business account is what you should pay for if you want to share more. VPForums also has a tiered download file sharing structure :)

It looks like the filedropper link is no longer working - it just takes me to the main filedropper logon page.

Really cool. Might have to look into this.

 

I really wish that VPX had a random function to play individual MP3s when in attract mode. Right now, I have a single long ACDC MP3 with about 10 songs. Of course they always play in the same order. Come on PBX team, cant be that hard. ;)

Devorian, send me a PM with your email and I can send you FTP credentials to upload. Or if anyone else has this and is willing to upload PM me.

 

I am unable to PM you, may be that your mailbox is full.
