@connorsdad, 
Here are my FS settings for BBBB.  Note, they are not perfect, but work for my setup.  Hope it helps!
 

That's great, thank you

This is a really great table, very fun to play!

 

I couldn't get the table to respond to the END key to open the coin door so that I could set the table to free play.  All my other VP10 tables open the coin door with END so my solution was to open VPinMAME and select the proper ROM and edit the adjustment for free play there.  Hope this helps anyone who runs into the same issue.

Since this is a System 11C table, the END key is not recognized.  All pre-WPC tables from Bally/Williams do not recognize the coin door switch (not emulated in VPinMAME I guess) so to enter the adjustment menu for this table you would press the 9 key first then the 7 and 8 keys to get to the first adjustment (as is stated in the replay adjustment and balls per game adjustment tutorials for System 11C)

Hi Wrd,

 

I love the table. In version 1.3 I have some minor issues, though:

 

- the main flippers are missing the material "Flipper1"

- Ramp9 and Ramp22 are missing the material, "Plastics clear prims" seems to fit

- the flipper solenoids are not responding properly, leaving the flippers up or not responding at some times

 

Regards

Michael

Just now saw this. I can adjust the materials. But i cant reallt speak to the unresponsive flippers. I am just not see it here.

However i have seem that issue when when i run a table on my without a db2s backglass. Cant explain why. But when i use the db2s bacglass, the issue is gone.

I am working on a new gi dimming script for smoother dimming. So there will be a rev soon.

[ScottyVH]

Thanks wrd1972!!!!

[hauntfreaks]

I've seen the flipper issue before on some tables... doesnt seem to be the tables... because if I put those same tables in my cab they work fine....

[Thalamus]

Interesting, I too have seen this but never thought in the direction of this maybe is db2s related. Looking forward to see the new dimming code in use.

[vogliadicane]

I have this too from time to time at first time opening a table (not with this table though). Problem is always gone after firing up the table a second or third time... strange, but it is that way

I am attempting to run this is cabinet / FS mode, but the playfield image is being displayed North-South on my primary display. It should be rotated 90 degrees. I've had no such issue with any other tables. What am I missing here?

Ohhhhh.... I get it now. Thanks!

Yep thats it.

I find doing this beneficial in so many ways, I just cant go back. Ive even had many folks PM me with why I do it and they reply back, they like it better too. Maybe we can get some kind of UI enhancement to make this a little easier and intuitive, for the landscape guys.

What are the benefits of doing it in portrait

[LynnInDenver]

What are the benefits of doing it in portrait

 

At least two that I can think of:

 

If you have to drop out of the cabinet front-end, you don't have to take keyboard and mouse to the side of the pincab to do what you need to do. Sometimes, a pincab might need to have the "operator" side of the monitor against another cabinet, or the wall, or whatever.

 

If you're trying to run Steam pinball simulations alongside VP, portrait is preferred. Zaccaria Pinball can only be run in portrait mode when in a cabinet, and Pinball Arcade needs to be forced with after-market camera modding software, which can be easier in portrait mode. Yes, there are ways to script automated orientation swapping when loading tables, but those can lead to complications with software that may or may not expect the orientation to suddenly change.

 

The main reason tables were done in landscape for so long is that rotation was not a considered part of video card driver software. Big heavy computer CRTs simply weren't designed to be turned on their side, and it took a while for video cards to catch up once flat panels and rotating mounts became a thing.

I have also heard that while in portrait mode, it is easier to use camera to adjust table for fs users?

If you want tables that are set for portrait mode, to have regular rotation, simply click File tab when table is loaded into editor, and click export Backdrop POV. This will create an XML file which you can then open with notepad and modify and import back into table. Or if you want all your tables in portrait mode, simply export your POV from table that is in portrait mode, and then import it into new table.

Some of these tables that are set for portrait mode, cannot be rotated by just putting in numbers in rotation spot. You will need to export the Backdrop POV and add your rotation to the actual xml file.

Table is awesome, though I am getting a subscript out of range scripting error on RollingTimer_Timer().  Specifically on the following line:

 

 For b = 0 to UBound(BOT)

 

Any suggestions?

 

 

'*****************************************

'      JP's VP10 Rolling Sounds

'*****************************************

 

Const tnob = 9 ' total number of balls

ReDim rolling(tnob)

InitRolling

 

Sub InitRolling

    Dim i

    For i = 0 to tnob

        rolling(i) = False

    Next

End Sub

 

Sub RollingTimer_Timer()

    Dim BOT, b

    BOT = GetBalls

 

' stop the sound of deleted balls

    For b = UBound(BOT) + 1 to tnob

        rolling(b) = False

        StopSound("fx_ballrolling" & b)

    Next

 

' exit the sub if no balls on the table

    If UBound(BOT) = -1 Then Exit Sub

 

' play the rolling sound for each ball

    For b = 0 to UBound(BOT)

        If BallVel(BOT(b) ) > 1 AND BOT(b).z < 230 Then

            rolling(b) = True

            PlaySound("fx_ballrolling" & b), -1, Vol(BOT(b) ), Pan(BOT(b) ), 0, Pitch(BOT(b) ), 1, 0

        Else

            If rolling(b) = True Then

                StopSound("fx_ballrolling" & b)

                rolling(b) = False

            End If

        End If

    Next

End Sub

 

Thanks!!!

Is it possible to make the back glass brighter? Seems darker than prior release.

Version 2.0 for VP10 is up and ready to DL.

This table has undergone a tremendous amount of refinement with countless new visual details, all new lighting, all new physics, better sound effects additional table options.

Shout-outs to Cyberpez, Rothbauerw, nfozzy, flupper, DJrobx and bord for heavily contributing to this latest refresh.  Cant thank you guys enough.

 

Table includes all of the tips and tricks I have learned over the last year or so, and really looks and plays, better than ever. Please refer to the script for additional credits and table options.

Hope you guys enjoy it.
