haunt,

what's up with the transformers image I keep seeing you post with the different ramps.  Am I missing something?

 

personal mod....

[markrock76]

ah.

Thanks

[jpsalas]

I'm back home from my vacation I'll make an update in a few days

[jpsalas]

UPDATE 30.07.2018

-fixed Tilt not working.
-increased the strength of the Megatron kicker as suggested by jesperpark
-fixed possible ball stucks after hitting Optimus Prime
-adjusted bumper strength as suggested by hauntfreaks.
-the "rampMOD" version includes ROM ramps from his FP table (maybe some cabinet users will prefer this version as it looks more like the real one, and you can see the in-lane lights under the ramps)

 

Note: now that the bugs are fixed, the table is free to MOD

Thank you for the updates JP.

Thank you JP for NEW Update.

I am on a desktop and the game loads but I get no DMD and I can't start the game. I can insert coins but that is it. How do I fix this?

The DMD came up right away for me.  Is the ROM listed as working in PinMAME?

[bha19]

Never mind it is working now. I forgot to zip the bin file.

3.0 Updated 24.10.2020

Updated script, physics & graphics:

- added the arcade physics 3.0

- enhanced the images if they were not already 4k (or close enough ).

- removed workarounds for the vpinmame droptargets as they fully support SSF (hit sounds) with the latest vpinmame.

- new rolling routine that now includes the ball shadow, the ball drop sound from Rothbauer and my ball speed control.

- Easy change of the ambient lightning: Hold down LeftMagnaSave and with RightMagnaSave it will switch between LUT images, from light to dark, 9 levels, and the selection will be saved for the table.

- some extra collision sounds and added more random on the hits sounds.

Anyone have a link to the rom? The original link is dead.

Hey JP...have the bumpers been fixed? I've had to wait nearly a full minute for the ball to stop bouncing around in there and come down to the flippers and scored an inordinate amount of points because of it. Every single game I play, the majority of the points come from the bumpers because I'm scoring an average of 2 to 3 million points each time the ball goes in there.

 

Other than, I really love this table.

[jpsalas]

I'll check the bumpers when I'll update the table for vpx8.

Lowering the bumper force and scatter angle to 7 and 2 respectively seems to work in the sense that the ball doesn't stay up there as long as with the standard settings, but this is probably not a proper fix.

Two things stand out to me when comparing this table to the real thing (on video):

1. The ball lock scoop spits the ball back out after lock.

2. The slingshots are much more powerful on the real machine and appear to kick the ball more upwards.

[jpsalas]

Thanks X Vector

 

I take note of the bumper settings, thanks

 

I'll check the ball lock, but releasing the ball is something the rom does by activating a solenoid. I'm not sure if there is anything I can do to make it work differently, unless there is an option in the rom settings, maybe a difficulty settings or similar.

 

The slingshots will be better when I'll update the table, as I use a slightly modified slingshots now, which shoots the ball a little more up, like in real tables (check my other VPX8 tables)

[X Vector]

Thing is, the scoop ejection is something I saw in the following two videos of Pro versions:

However, on the LE it seems to be different, here the ball actually does get loaded into the plunger lane:

Strange, considering the LE uses a different ROM.

 

I've noticed that you've posted a couple of VPX8 tables, but I think I'll wait to try them until an official (non-beta) release of the software is available.
