Ok I added the new kicker meshes and they will be available in the next update. Just one question came to my mind: Should I replace the old KickerCup mesh with the new T1 mesh because they look quite similar and I like the new T1 mesh

 the T1 is the same kicker but you might want to leave the old one in there also, because you know how people get when there used to something, they might still want it... 
also if you do leave it... its always been 180 degrees out of phase (pointing backwards) if you leave it can you spin it the right way?  
thanks man

yup, spin em.  in your image the gottlieb and williams would kick the ball down while the T1 and the old kickercup would kick the ball upwards if they worked like the real ones but the old kickercup kicks the opposite of how it looks

[toxie]

what about the existing tables that use them?

[fuzzel]

The rotation is only a visual thing there is no real physical behavior attached with it.

[toxie]

Ah, okay, so maybe not too bad then..

[sliderpoint]

Can you please change the flipper lengths in the two sample tables to 117.65.  The 114 was an error on my part.

I do not know if it's a bug or some bad configuration on my part, but the editor no longer shows me the playfield image.

The strange thing is that it does not change anything but it may be some mistake of mine.

 

I do not remember if someone already asked for this but here I am going .. Could it be sometime importing .ogg files or is it impossible?

 

Thank you for all the time and dedication that you put into this.

Did you update your graphics card drivers maybe? VPX uses the Microsoft GDI functionality to render image on walls, playfield, flashers and the like.

Support for MP3, OGG is on Toxie's to-do list but as always the time is here the issue

new/modified feature request

 

Can the hit target model be modified so the back bracket is height adjustable, or separated/removed from the hit target models, or a new set made with lower back bracket? 

 

on my older gottlieb tables the hit targets, round and rectangular, the bracket in the back only goes up a little over half the height of the target, whereas the model in vp has it go significantly above the face of the target like some more modern target mechanisms.  Where this causes issues is that a lot of these targets are really really close to the plastics above them on the real machines, and if I model it correctly in vp the bracket sticks up through the plastic.  so far I have compensated by making the plastics slightly higher and the targets slightly lower but it would be nice if I could make them correct.

 

since a picture is worth 1000 words here is one to illustrate what I am asking for.  Thanks for all you guys do!
