wow RC7 plays great, love that your not done yet.  Thanks

Yes, really hard table, good job!!

[DStruct]

I agree. So fun, but this one really kicks my ass. The real one kicks my ass, so I think this is definitely a job well done.

I just played version 8, and I have some thoughts:
Changing the alpha ramp flashers to additive bi was a big step in the right direction. Thank you.
I would recommend changing the 4 solenoid kickers to a power of roughly 30 to get it to play like the real game.
Stop and score works great now. Great job.
I'm still getting some problems with GI lighting and lights on playfield not refreshing and staying dark.
The cab plunger doesn't make enough contact most of the time to launch the ball all the way up.
Pressing enter of course always works.
Maybe change the elasticity of the upper playfield rubbers a little higher to give a more realistic feel.
I'm not crazy about the flipper physics/settings, but that's something I can always change on my own (personal preference)
I like the way you scripted this. It's very clean.
I'd be happy to create a new apron for you if you'd like.
Maybe we can find higher resolution playfield plastics.
As mentioned above, change koadics plunger and check the timer enabled box and change value to 40.

***Everytime I get multiball I get a big smile on my face. Thank you.

I hope we think about the same kicker. I changed the setting in RC9.

The table is very dependend on the order (back to front) of the table objects. I had to disable the reorder option in the video options on my PC.

Sometimes the five lights/flashers on the top of the table don't refresh for me. The rest looks fine so far.
Which ones make trouble on your cab?

 

The cab plunger doesn't make enough contact most of the time to launch the ball all the way up.

I made a wall non-collideable and now the ball always centers on the plunger.

 

Maybe change the elasticity of the upper playfield rubbers a little higher to give a more realistic feel.

I changed the rubberposts physics to the rubberpost physics of Indianapolis BMPR mod. I hope that's better.

 

I'm not crazy about the flipper physics/settings, but that's something I can always change on my own (personal preference)

Somewhere between the RC's, i changed the flipper settings from JPSalas NBA Fastbreak to UncleWillys Big Bang Bar settings. Whichever settings suits you best.

You're joking, right?

 

I'd be happy to create a new apron for you if you'd like.

If you feel the need to create a new apron - go ahead.

 

Maybe we can find higher resolution playfield plastics.

I wish. A user wrote that he has NOS plastics lying around, but no good camera. I begged him to take pictures anyway - any smartphone pics would be better than what i have. 12 days ago he wrote "i will see what i can do". *fingers_crossed*

 

As mentioned above, change koadics plunger and check the timer enabled box and change value to 40.

The timer is enabled in RC9, which is uploaded to the forum.

I'm VERY excited to try the new version tonight.
You are doing a wonderful job.
I'm thankful you aren't taking what I say critically, yet still implementing everything to make this a truly kick ass table!
Your work is appreciated. I know it can be time consuming.
Cheers!

Thank you for your work 

[rein1969]

Is there a desktop version comming along? 

[Pin-Pete]

Is there a desktop version comming along? 

???

[tttttwii]

hmueck, brilliant work - physics are awesome - I have not expected this!!!

 

Great job!

[hmueck]

Final 1.0 version is now uploaded. Desktop version coming next, but probably not soon.

[bolt]

Thank you hmueck, great info about the desktop version.

[maceman]

never say 'Final'... he hee

Awesome job!! Thanx for your hard work!

Just said it's the final 1.0 version (instead of the release candidates). Nothing wrong with a version 2.0 for VP10.

[Slydog43]

This is a great recreation.  I find myself playing this game a lot recently.  Thanks!

[Aaron James]

I really hope you guys like this table.
Hmueck did a wonderful job on it.
I had this table for about 7 years and I know all the nuances of the table, so when I did the physics I made sure it played as close to the real thing. He also added some cool flipper dampening routines and such to the script.
This table plays very true, down to the last detail.
For those of you who aren't familiar with this table, lock 2 balls during multiball for an amazing light show.

With a short shot the ball gets stuck on the ramp, the ball is released with a nudge.
It seems to be due to the Ramp80 Collidable.

 

Nice work, Thanks.

happens to me too, also present in the last few release candidates.. forgot to report it, sorry

 

love the table! nice job!!

 

(ps if your balls drain quickly, try thinking about the Baseball table)

[Aaron James]

If its changed to non-collideable will it fix the issue?

[hmueck]

Uploaded version 1.0a. Never thought the stuck ball was caused by ramp80, but it is! Strange behaviour by VP...
