thanks guys, let me know if there's any issues with it or if anything needs adjusting


Hi Unclewilly,
Great table! Plays very smooth. Unfortunately I have the same problems with it as smakx has (also with Circus Voltaire by JP). So I have to play in a window. And I encountered a script error while playing multiball. I don't know if it's a machine-specific error with my system but I thought I would post it anyway, maybe someone has the same problem. The Dutch error message translates to: "the subscript falls out of range"

Did you know that "playing pinball" is called "flipperen" in Dutch? Now you know and may your life be enriched by this arcane knowledge....

I got that error during testing. i changed the script and was not able to reproduce it again. i'll look into it.

I couldn't play yet because of problems with HR. With HR off the ramps got graphics issues. And HR on is impossible to play for me. My computer is retiring. smile.gif But, thank you anyway for your brilliant work!! wink.gif

Having a very strange problem with this table. In version 1.0, whenever I got multiball or collected a jackpot, I would get an error message and game would end. I downloaded 1.1 and had an even stranger problem. My previous high score had been around 300,000. On this new version, I was up around 3 billion when i realized something must be wrong. Sure enough it was not any great increase in my skill, but rather there was something blocking the center drain, which i discovered when I deliberately tried to let the ball drain. I tried turning off harware acceleration, updating to the latest version of VP 9, and reinstalling game. Nothing has worked so far. Have not encountered this problem with any other table.
Just wondering if anybody else has ever encountered anything like this. Thank you.
Jim

Yo UW, I think you really should fix the outlane and outhole blockers.

Hi UW, Thanks for the table, very nice and plays great!

For anyone trying the table: the blockers issue is easy to solve, go to the editor click on the 3 blockers and delete them (just push the del button) and save the table. UW is just encouraging us to spend some time in the editor wink.gif

Yep, me too!

When I shoot the left ramp, the ball just bounces back! I am unable to make any left ramp shots...

Open the table just pull the ramp(elbow) a bit down. try it.... this will fix it. Don't forget to save.

Thanks for the tip, though I'm afraid that changing the ramp will mess up the rest of the table...

The strange thing is, the ramp works normaly on my other PC (that is wayyy too slow for most VPM-based tables, sadly)!

Any chance you can post a screenshot with the ramp node hi-lighted so that others can see the new position that works?

Sorry this has not been fixed and updated. I haven't been able to get it to play without stutter due to the vast amount of alpha ramps on the table. When this gets worked out I'll put out an update.
I may have to do a combo of alpha and the old style transparent ramps for this table.

I could set most of them to solid transparent but I don't want to lose the lighting in the table

These alpha ramps will be the most hated feature and feature that killed most tables.

Now when i download new table with alpha ramps i have to think carefully will i delete the old version or keep it cause newest versions usually stutter and old one plays smooth.

Totally agree with you there Blur.
