quick update - 59 tables converted to VPX in 80 days

 

Just going through some cleanup right now after getting these all moved over. Getting closer to an early Christmas for y'all.

Great to hear, thanks LM  ... based on "80 Days around the World" ?

This is a release - or should I say releases I've been waiting for a long time.

Happy to hear that they will be out before x-mas

I need new SSD

This is very exciting, will have to put aside a full weekend to load then start playing all these tables.

Ok,

 

ball shadows added - check

flipper shadows - check

new sound routines from vp10.4 replacing my old stuff from vp9x - check

code cleanup related to sound routine changes - check

 

it's all moving along - plus I've moved them all into 10.4 now as well. Still a few things to do before I even have some folks do some testing and take a look at what I've done.

easy option to not use ball shadow and flipper shadow?

 

really looking forward to a whole batch of new vpx tables, thanks Jeff.

[loserman76]

that's part of my next wave of stuff I'm doing with these tables.

 

the list of things I'm doing to these tables seems to grow with each touch I do. Hopefully, I will stop thinking of things to do to them

You're going to reinvent the standard. Reinforced by NUMBERS

[jesperpark]

Any updates to how the tables are coming?  I feel like I will need to book vacation time to Install and play all these great tables.

[loserman76]

They are coming along. Just a little patience as I'm tweaking the tables to get them right for VPX and work has been killing me lately.

 

I will say that just in converting them over to VPX is a world of difference in the visual department. And the physics are better too. The tables behave and do things like I wanted them to do back in VP9x.

Anxiously awaiting these. Thanks for the hard work

BTW, I'm already in the VPA facebook group...

 

 

Anyways, quick update - getting into the home stretch for the initial blast of 61 tables (yep there's now 2 more than I originally announced). Got a few things to go through on each table to take care of a couple remaining items, wish list things that came up here and one that I just have to hunker down and do (thank god my insane code style is similar on all of my tables).

 

I will be including B2S, wheel image, Backglass screenshot, FS screenshot and DT screenshot with each table.

 

the fun part will be the uploading of 61 ZIPs...

I can't wait.  The entire reason for me to purchase a cab was for EM's. and Early SS's.  As much as you can try, when you add ramps and multilevels to a table, it just does not translate as well.  The experience I have playing Star Trek TNG or Twilight zone on my cab is not even close to the real thing, just from a perspective thing.  But my experience playing Wizard, Capt Fantastic, Fireball or Charlies Angels is spot on.  

Basically, when playing multi level tables on my cab, I am always reminded that it's not real.  When playing the older tables on my cab, I wind up forgetting that it's not real.

 

Thanks again.
