So I checked the VR version I'm running and it has that in the script. The dinos wobble a little so that seems to be working but the t-rex shake and the table shake effect doesnt seem to work in VR.

If I run the VR table in desktop VPX the t-rex seems to shake not sure about the table shake effect.. weird.. but thanks again for that it helped me find something to mess with later on tonight

 

 

See if the table shake is commented out or disabled

[wiesshund]

or maybe the commands need updated

i'll look tomorrow

Try this, there is a Jurassic Park in there :  [Link Removed]

 

Only on VPForums!  

 

 

Not sure if this is sarcasm? The link contained a collection of tables, mostly a year to five old.

 

No community site allows that to my knowledge?

It was sarcasm.  Please don't take it as knock against what the site is about or the rules or moderation of the site.  It's just that multiple members of this community posted on this topic after that post and no one said a thing about this being wrong until I posted something.  I just believe this community is becoming numb to these post which is just sad.

Very true. It's likely only just begun.

I agree.  I wish I could just stop letting it bug me so much and just let it be.  I think it may be time for me to spend more time playing pinball and less time on the message boards.  After all...we are supposed to be having fun.

EXACTLY!!

Must be some crazy ass tables for amount to 250gb for 350 tables plus vpx 10.6

considering most of my tables are in the 9 to 35mb range

 

 

Yeah, since I converted over to vpx I noticed that too. I have like 900+ 2 screens in vpx and I had to upgrade my HDD. Some of these are stupid big. I remember when we were ragging on Faralos for 80-100mb tables in early vp9. Now it's like almost normal.

They do not usually need to be
Look at what JP does with a 4K table under 30mb

 

Now a non ROM table is going to need more for audio
but audio does not need to be huge to be good
and with 10.7 OGG and MP3 formats allow for music in a small package, all contained in the table itself

Models (Prims) will eat up space potentially, you have to decide what really needs to be a prim and what does not.
Less is better as far as prims go anyways due to poly counts.

 

If table has a DMD, you may be a bit stuck there, only so much you can do if a table has a lot of animation sequences

Stern has the same problem LOL, look at the size of a spike2 ROM
But with that, you could make the table with the option of animated DMD or no animated DMD
and offer the animations as a separate file download.
Not sure it is worth it though, as i dont know that very many would chose the plain DMD just for the file size difference

 

That being said, i am pretty sure i am quite guilty of "Dude wtf?? why do you have a 4k image, for a target????"
I need to learn how JP brings the file size down yet retains all the detail.
That or convince toxie and fuzzel to bring in DDS image support (and bump maps)
