The ball in Vector gets stuck here for me. 

 

noiseprisoner.... in the editor under that plastic there is a bumper.... click on it... in the options there will be a setting called "height scaling" set it to 100

 

this worked for me, is it the correct height??... I couldn't tell you.... but it does work now

 

hope that helps

Cool, thanks. I think I have it set how you described now...I'll test it out shortly.

The default height scaling of a bumper is 90 but I guess 100 is also fine

Sorry guys for being quite for the last two weeks or so ...

 

I was working hard on Victory (a first pre-beta has been delivered to the test crew), so the other tables had to wait. Here's a new version of Vector (version 20150429): https://drive.google...aekE&authuser=0

 

I reviewed the whole table after I detected some small issues, and I found some more small issues and things that could be done better ... Some (or most) of you know, that I'm not a physics expert, so I "played" the last days with the physics to learn more about the settings and their impacts to the game play. The result was a complete re-work of the physics (I hope you forgive me, but game plays definitely better now)

 

So here's the changes to the last version:

 

- fixed broken bumper after changes in one of the last VP10 beta revisions

- fixed error in B2S use (sounds were played even when controller type 4 was defined in controller.txt)

- implemented new custom plunger type (Thanks mjr)

- added dual plunger (VP and VPM) choice

- re-worked the physics completely

- added missing sounds for rubber hits and metal hits

- fixed wrong rubber size on some rubber elements

- revised and cleaned materials

- cleaned image pool

 

 

 

One comment: the VP plunger looks identical as the one on the original table, the VPM plunger not. I'm aware about that, but I wanted to have the active plunger type being detected by its appearance. 

 

This version comes close to the final one (presently I see only two small things that need a final overhaul). At this point I'd like to thank you all for testing and reporting.    

 

Don't hesitate to report things that can be done better, but please do it in a pleasant way. 

 

 

P.S.: I like the new custom type plunger, I'll implement it also in Buck Rogers and Truck Stop.

Sindbad,

 

I am having a problem using the new vp plunger type selected in your options menu with any version of VP10 that has Mjr's plunger code in it. The ball barley moves when the plunger is released from the keyboard or an analog controller.

If I run it on version 1910 which has the old plunger code it works properly with either plunger type selected.

 

Also would be nice if authors would put the version # a table was tested at in the table name until we get out of beta. As things change from version to version sometimes I have a problem finding the version that works, as I update my exe to the latest versions.

 

Thanks for this beautiful table..

UPDATED TABLES:

 

I have updated my 4 tables for VP10 with the new bulb lights using the new transmit from the latest VP10 revision (1944). With this transmit you can make a light to lit up a plastic on top of it, this way reducing the number of lights needed to illuminate a table.
I have also reduced the bloom strength for a more natural look.

The physics have also changed, reducing the friction on all the objects, this way I think the ball behaves much better. You loose that strong spin and the rubbers and flippers don't "grab" the ball as before, but I have never seen that strong friction in the real tables. I know this goes against the settings proposed by mukuste when he made the new ball physics. So it is up to you to decide what you prefer

 

(the updated tables are on my site, see my signature)

Hey JP your link of 1.0.1 Zelda point to 1.0 ...just to inform you

Yep I did it but was not sure about posting link

Cool!

I don't think he would be mad or care, it was a human error. He will fix it anyways but I understand your position.

[vampirolatino2]

I was playing a little today and I have no music in Bugs Bunny. Anyone know how to fix this?

[jpsalas]

The link is fixed, thanks

Thank you Sinbad and thank you JP for the updates.

Thanks RYSr for the reporting the issue. I'm getting old ... I forgot to re-enable the VP plunger again by setting momentum Xfer back to 1. 

 

Sorry, sorry, sorry for the confusion. Here's the version with a working plunger: https://drive.google...zcHM&authuser=0

 

Edit:

 

Ah, I forgot: version is now 20150430, built and tested under rev 1944.

limp plunger .... thanks for this viagra edition! hehe

I looked at the settings for the plunger and didn't think about that not being a 1, its new so I have to remember that. I am old so don't feel bad... thanks for the response and fix.

My picture is a little dated.

@JP

 

With beta 1950 and Zelda 1.0.1 when I hit play I get an error message: Can't open core.vbs.
Then hit Ok: Line95 CvpmImpulseP.

 

I already updated to latest VBS 29-4-2015.

 

Do you know what the problem is (something with the new VP Plunger) but what.

 

Thanks.

[freneticamnesic]

I think new betas broke some backwards compatibility.

[hmueck]

Time for the beta release of Bone Busters.

The table crashes on my PC quite often when starting. Just try again and again, it will start eventually.

[Hyper]

Indeed with beta 1950 errors, none with beta 1944. I did not test the in between beta's.
