^^^^ I agree...I was going to ask if you were going to develop your own backglass function for cabs. Maybe with more functionality...for those games that have playable backglass areas??

[SILVERBALL]

Whoohoo.  This is great news.  Can you provide a update list on changes from the Alpha to the Beta.   I agree with Nostronomo - Can you better define "Coming Soon" .... just very excited for this Beta and the VP10 beta as well?  

[ClarkKent]

If the ball is really not disappearing anymore at high velocities and it behaves more natural - this could be really a break-through...

[BilboX]

Any plans to have back glass support for cabinet users? Not B2s but in engine?

If I understand correctly, it is already in the alpha...

[BilboX]

As you asked, here is the Current "Beta" changelog:

 

 

* Player

 - DOF2 basic Support

 - Minimal Launcher option

 - Difficulty adjustments

 - Per table parameters

 - Mood options (ambiant and main light)

 - New Physics parameters:

   > Ball speed limit

   > Ball drag / angular drag

   > timescale / timestep / max timestep

   > Gravity

   > Per table physics file (no need in scripting anymore)

 - Collision meshes from FPM

 - File browser

 - VPM restart (in progress)

 - Dynamic flipper sound volume

 - Carved light extrusion fixed

 

* Scripting API / Table design

 - Whole Original table API

   > Table Specific options

   > Light sequencers imported from FPT

   > Music system

   > High scores system

   > STA

   > Reels

   > Segments

   > Blinking

   > ...

 - Default sound customizable/desactivable

 - Solenoids behaviour can be inverted

 - material.xml was not generated

 - Ballstack utility function not ease designing subway

 - Difficulty adjustments

 - Light importance (pixel/vertex) adjustable (improve performance)

 - PNG textures support

 

* Bugs fixed

 - Cab calibration ghosting effect

 - Cab calibration loading problem

 - D-Pad in joysticks

 - Physics parameters where not correctly loaded

 - Joystick buttons swapping when multiple joysticks used

 - Kickers orientation/depth now correct (harder to hit)

 - Incorrect holes in playfield

 - DMD missing line

 - Debug shot buttons now working

 - Front glass collision

 - Automatic window focus

 - Bllom saving problem fixed

 - Powered gates problem

 - Cab mode at loading

 - VPM refresh rate fixed

 - DirectQuit key disabled in input editor to prevent quiting while configuring

 - Texture offset problem

 - loading resources number fixed

 - Nudge improved a little bit

 

And a lot more, like all table physics/graphics reviewed, new tables coming, etc...

 

Videos coming...

Is Unit3D Pinball supports DirectX?

[SILVERBALL]

Awesome ! Thanks for the info BilboX. Now just that minor detail of the beta release date ;-) Oh ... More videos!

[Nostronomo]

Impressive list, looking forward to the "mood options" I think it is nice to have the ability to change global lightning to your own liking.

How much items to thick of the 'todo-list' before the next release?

[ASOT]

Awesome list, really looking forward to trying this one out! Good work guys

[skinooe]

very happy and my big thank: 

Future minds : What about release for PS4: Many little Indy programms are writen in unity3d (best example is outlast)

Bilbox says that if you offer him a PS4, he'll try to  recompile VpinMame to native PS4 code

With what I asked earlier, I was wondering if anyone has this running in a cab at the moment with a working backglass as well? Id really like to try this in my cab instead of on my computer.

[neohusky]

Last time I checked this was a standard feature unless I'm missing something.

It can be done, check it out here

 

I haven't personally tried yet, I will now that you've reminded me

Hi guys,

 

2 more tables to come with the BETA version

 

 

Does someone here know Russel speak, the author of the black knight table ?
I'll need his permission to release the table

[JohnIV]

That's Slamt1lt.  He's on Twitter and FB you could try to reach him there.

Hi guys,

 

2 more tables to come with the BETA version

 

 

These look really nice!

The ball movement also looks a lot better on these :-) maybe a tad heavy but still a lot better!

Maybe you could add a (fake) ceiling that reflects a somewhat lighter color onto the ball than the pure black you have now from the nothingness above the table - a darkish grey maybe just so the ball isn't that dark overall.

Also the reflections on the balls still look like the only update every second rendered frame to me, they never look as smooth as the rest, could that be the case?

Sorry if I sound complaining... I know, it's "complaining on a high level" but that is just because I have such high hopes for this project and it really looks like it could live up to them, otherwise I wouldn't even point out such minor details :-)

[BilboX]

if you continue posting such beautifull videos, I will donate

Hi lio, no worry about your complains,this is necessary to get the best simulation possible.

You're right about  the blackness of the ball's reflection, i didn't pay attention to it.

Reflection on the ball is calculated one face of the cubemap by frame to limit performance hit.
 

This may deserves new table options to set ball's color and reflection rate.

[Pinball999]

Bluffé...

How many tables will be available with the BETA guys?
