Very nice table and very nice ramps! Thanks!

 

The only problem found : the new red ramp seems to be not well placed with to the backwall illustration :

I have re-uploaded the table with a fixed ramp height. If you don't want to download it again, then simply select that primitive ramp, backramp_prim,  and set the Zsize to 75.

 

 

Thanks a lot!! You are amazing! :tup:

UPDATE:

 

Some more cosmetic changes, this time was Draifet who took time to make a new backwall, and adjust a few other things. Thanks!

 

1.0.5 Updated 04.11.2018
- a few cosmetics adjustments by Draifet (the rocket was not fully visible due to the new ramp, and a  rubber was missing on top of the cosmic cottage)
- new backwall adjusted to fit better the new ramps, also by Draifet
- the girl was missing. Thanks Draifet for noticing that :)

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 24.10.2022
- Updated to my VPX7 physics
- Some small script updates, like the Rolling sound and PlaySoundAt routines.
- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table
- Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).
- Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.
- Made the light inserts warmer.
- Added SSF sound commands.

wow!!!
 
Fantastic!!!
 
thanks for the update and for sharing!
 
JP could get carried away and update several of his great tables that were forgotten for the new physics 4.0   :blush:

I'm updating them alphabetically :) But I leave a few of them for the end as they require a lot of extra work :)

Jp can't even imagine the work you have to make your tables better and better! That's awesome...
 
actually I'm talking about tables that were forgotten, or not... I understand that we have many excellent versions of other colleagues, but tables like Scared Stiff, Medieval Madness among others I would love to have your version...
 
who knows, maybe one day you'll get excited, right?

Thanks JP. I wasn't so sure I was liking the new version at first. I was playing the old version for a while so I would have a feeling for how it compared to the new version. New version has a different feel and seems a little faster. Once I got used to it, things started coming together and went on for a new high sore. Thank you for all your efforts

Yes, the table plays differently. My new physics changes makes the tables faster, since there is less friction on the playfield. I could have slowed down the table a little more, but after watching several videos on YouTube I decided it was the right speed. I even feel the bumpers and slingshots are even stronger in the PAPA videos :)

 

Generally, these version 4 of my tables play differently from the older versions, usually they are a little bit faster and they may have stronger slingshots. But the flippers gain a little better shooting angles than before, at least I hope so :) But they will never be like a fine tuned nFozzy flippers on a fast computer, but at least they will be playable on slower computers too, as they use the standard VPX flippers, just tweaked for the low friction, and adding some strength and precision to them.

I have also thought about the same. I think it should be nice to have some of those tables in a smaller size and using my physics, but all those tables play already really nice, so it should be a kind of waste of time to remake them. But one of my ideas for the next year, after I'm finished with my updates (42 tables to go, and 142 done :) ), is to take the 300 best tables list from IPDB and check the VPX versions, and if I see that some tables could benefit from using my techniques, then I'll rebuild them :) I have made already many of those tables in VP9 (and older VP's) so they will be easy to rebuild for me :) I'm also going to make several old Spanish tables :)

I guess I forgot to update the script for the knocker sound :)

 

So, if you miss that sound then find the line nr 343, which looks like this:

 

SolCallback(7) = "vpmSolSound ""Knocker"","

 

and change it to this:

 

SolCallback(7) = "vpmSolSound SoundFX(""fx_Knocker"",DOFKnocker),"

 

I'll include this fix in the next update, if there is one :)

I have nothing showing on the DMD. It's blank. Great tables JP. Your work ethic is huge.
