Thank you for this excellent table JP and STAT.

 

Plays great.

 

Only thing I wonder.....gameplay is excellent, good flow, good physics, good SSF.
But within 5 or even 6 and 7 balls (got some EB's by completing the Flush) I only got 1 time that the ball got into the hole for the 'arrow-score'. (have no better way to describe it but it is that saucer-hole in the middle of the PF).

May-be the speed is to high it passes over it or may-be the hole is not 'deep' enough or...well, that's what's happening here but apart from that, lovely gameplay!
Thanks!

Yes, that's how I wrote it and it is what I saw in the videos. A direct hit to it will make the ball just go on top of it. It is not easy to get the ball in the hole

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Updated 01.02.2020
- Added a legacy mode as requested.
- Made the hole easier to hit.
- changed the lights as suggested by bigus1
- added a match
- remove a test key which gave you an add-a-ball

 

This legacy mode is the default one. It is a mix between the add-a-ball and the replay modes. The rules are like this (they are listed also in the table info):

 

*  Making Ace, King, Queen, Jack and Ten lits Special.

*  Special awards 1 Extra credit.
*  1-Extra Ball for Making 3 Jokers (up to 10 balls can be won)
*  1-Extra Credit for each higher score as shown in the apron card
*  Making  the Ace Lites Left Bottom Rollover to  Score 5000 Points.
*  Making  the Ten Lites Right Bottom Rollover to  Score 5000 Points.
*  Tilt Penalty --- Ball in Play Pluss Loss of Jokers

 

The Special light keeps lit until you loose the ball.

These set of rules are what the VP9 table used, that's why I call it "legacy".

 

If you prefer a pure add-a-ball, a replay or a Novelty set of rules (for completitions) then just change the line 42 : Const SpecialMode = 4 and change the number to the mode you prefer.

If you downloaded the 1.0.1 table then please redownload it again since the 3 Jokers awarded a credit instead an extra ball. It is not always good to do a last minute changes

Now the "legacy mode" should work as intended

If someone were to take the time, go through all your threads and thank you for each individual contributions, I dare say it would take HOURS just to do so.  Thanks for this release, another excellent JPSalas VP table, another fantastic contribution to our community!

OUR TEAM WORK IS FINISHED FINALLY....thank you, now I have something to do this evening

[Joppnl]

Thank you for the update JP!

I think the ball gets into the hole now far more realistic, it's still hard but not impossible.

Gameplay is faster then the fastest AfM I've ever played...love it 

 

 

I do notice a few things...might be intentionally...:

 

- with this update the 5 roll-overs on top do reset every ball. No clue what the original one does but on V1.0 they didn't what makes a skill shot efficient while with this new version there is no skill shot as they all reset/turn on at ball start.

 

- I do not get any DOF. Checked the DOF config tool and everything is in there but, as far as I can read the code correctly, it is not in the code is this correct?

 

Thanks again, lovely gameplay!

 

PS: I do notice that when I change the script the table name (and b2s name) into 'straight_flush' DOF is active (for undercab/speaker/buttons lightning, no action from table itself) so it seams to be that both the table_name doesn't comply to the dof_config_tool (rom) name and it's not implemented in the script so far.

Yes, there are 4 modes in this table, which you can choose by changing a variable in the script. I explained that in the table info and in the download page. The default mode does that with the top lights, the other 3 modes do not reset the lights. The mode 1 (add-a-ball) was the default in the first version.

 

I'm afraid I know nothing about DOF. I could add some commands, but without knowing what they do then I prefer to do not mess with it.

[Mr H]

Looks good Jp! Looking forward to what the requested tables are! Hopefully another original JP Special?

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 08.11.2022

- Added my latest VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).

- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table

- Changed the Environment image to enhance the metals and also a little the object shadows.

- Made the light inserts warmer.

Great job JP! Thanks a lot!

Just one remark - DOF not working.

Thanks,

What DOF?
The table has no DOF to work.

If you want to add it and submit the script changes to JP, i am sure he will be more than happy to add it

[leeoneil]

I was planning to make this dof, and space rider too.

I already started some scripting, it it will be probably available this weekend

Hi wiesshund, I would love to but so far I am too greenhorn to do that.

Would try to learn but at present can only hope that somebody skilled will support, sorry for that.

Thanks,

Wudek

UPDATE

 

4.0.1 Updated 16.11.2022

- DOF commands added by Arngrim and leeoneil

 

Thanks again leeoneil for adding the commands to the table (and to Arngrim too for its early work on this table).

[leeoneil]

Thank's JP !

Try the epileptik option (at the beginning of the script) if you want more lights effects (on roll-over, targets, slingshots and bumpers)

[digitalarts]

Hi leeoneil,
I always use your "epileptik" as true. It's a big plus to undercab complex (btw at my cab undercab is not "under cab" but "behind Backglass") so the wall behind is illuminated with nice colors.
Thanks again for your work, and of course thanks to JP!!!
