UPDATE:

 

1.3.0 Updated 05.02.2019
- fixed here and there, removed extra trigger, changed defect bulb (light l86), new sounds and script for ssf, higher resolution graphics, added some decorations (scheleton, treasure chest, snake lamp), adjusted physics on the flippers and some walls, changed environment image to make metals look more chrome, changed plastics ramps, and some more things I forgot (lights, flashers...)  :)

 

Still this table uses VPX ramps, the main reason is because I like those ramps. I still don't like much the "liquid metal" ramps. I know, I know. Some of you like them, but there are plenty of mods around, and there is also new all rendered table on its way :) Still I had to fix this table a little since it was 2 years ago since the last time I updated it :)

 

This table has a lot of more graphics, so it is huge, 24Mb :)

 

Enjoy!

Mmmm it's true. It must be one of the latest changes I made using a playfield mesh. I'll take a look at it now :)

Definitely it is the playfield mesh that I made with a hole in it. It worked fine first time I made it, but the last one doesn't seem to let the lights through (?!). I'll check it a little more. And if I can't get it to work I'll make a new one :)

Fixed the lights not working! Just redownload the table again.

 

There were two problems: one I had replaced the playfield PNG file with a jpg, that made one of the holes white, and the other problem was the playfield_mesh which hided the lights if it was at a height of 0. So I put the playfield_mesh at -0,5 and the all the lights work fine now. The strange thing is that it worked fine before (?!) Oh well, I guess I have a few more things to learn about making holes to a mesh, hahaha.

Dear JP, from the technical side, I only understand so much that I can set up the tables so that they can be played well in DT mode for me. I love your tables because they are superbly designed for playability. Playing pinball is good for in between when I'm not hunting wild boar or predatory game or playing the trumpet or horn. Therefore I am glad that so many talented people devote themselves to table design.

I have reuploaded version 3.0 of this table, with a reduced sound when hitting the genie, also it doesn't wobble so much :) 

 

Anyway, enjoy the new physics on this table too :)

I dont supposed that for Halloween the table can replace that Genie, with one of the Barbara Eden Jeanie flavor?
And have it wobble, a lot?

 

This will do

Changing the LUT in a table that can change the LUT will result in an error.
The error message is "Wrong number of arguments or invalid property assignment".
For this table, the error occurs at row 266.
The same error occurs in JP's other tables.
I also confirmed it in ATTAK FROM MARS.

I have just tested the table and afm and I don't have this problem. I guess you don't have write access to the user folder.

Unfortunately, you have a YOU problem, is not a problem with either of the tables

You have a messed up VPX install or you got scripts you should not have in places you should not have them etc

I forgot which table, but a script file that changed the LUT that came with the table was added to the folder.
It worked fine by removing it.
thank you.

normally, if a table for some reason comes with a script, or if someone like Thalamus puts out an updated script, i never use the script itself

first i look and make sure it isnt some janky crap
and then i will put the script contents into the table script, and never put the script in the vpx folder anywhere

 

If it's a table update like Thalamus's files are, i replace the entire table script

 

I test said table before i save it of course.

 

In general, if a table itself comes with external VBS files, i usually shit can the table with out even trying it, because no table should normally need to pack around external vbs files of it's own

Thats fine for the author while testing but it should all go inside the tablescript at the end.
