Thanks again. As I said a few posts back, I seem to have everything working correctly now. The problem was both as STAT pointed out and provided the fix for, the .txt file (that allowed me to play mmpac for the first time using controller.vbs), and you and the others that told me I had conflicting files. I did find an older controller.vbs file in my table folder. along with some other files I did not put there, but I left most of those. That allowed me to play the other tables.

 

There are a few releases I have not been able to play until now, so see ya.

Probably the best looking table available at this moment for VPX, the illumination is awesome, I played CFBL on Pinball Arcade after this one, and is like a past gen game.

 

There's a shadow script, but I can't see the ball shadow at all (press C and manullay move the ball over the table), only 100% black small shadow over the creature hologram.

 

Congrats to the authors and thanks for your amazing work.

 

 

I have the shadow working using one from another table i built.... this is just the shadow ellements... image, material, primitives, timer, script entry....
use all these to replace what is in the CFTBL table

Thanks, tried that but still no ball shadow. Replaced the shadow script, exported/imported the image and material, and tried to adjust the lightnight too (I don't understand the "primitives" and "timer" part of your post). What I'm missing? I have shadows on the other tables.

Thanks!!! The shadow is working replacing the files as you said. Now thanks to your explanation I have discovered what is the problem, by default the original BallShadowUpdate timer was disabled, if u enable it on the right panel option, there's no need to replace the files with yours (more easy). Gorgeous table, now with a nice shadow. :otvclap:

 

I think that there's a problem with the creature hlogram animation too. If I play the game on Pinball Arcade the creature holo moves from left to right from the begining, on VPX the hologram only appears static for a second, but with the table tests the animation works, maybe another timer problem? Or is how the original table works?

The hologram should only be on while searching for the gal. It does flash for a few ramp/snack hits during game too.
You are running outdated vox version of balls are getting stuck. Update vpx

yes good to know.... 
using the ballshadow scripted I supplied will give a more realistic effect, less ball float

My daughters love the animated multiball hologram. Unfortunately they don't get to see it as much as they like to...

Is there a way to show this hologram shortly when we start-up the table?

Do you know if it also possible to show it via a script? My cab does not has a keyboard attached to it when I play on it.

If you've updated correctly. Then there is problably a *.vbs laying around inside tables folder that prevents you from runnining updated.


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Fantastic table, thank you very much.

Is it normal that there is no mechanical sound? The sound manager is completely empty.
