Just played the update. What changes were made in this update? I noticed some new sound effects, but it feels like it plays much different than before, and I think I prefer the version before this one, but I’m not sure if it’s in my head or not lol. Also your two side targets are still set at slingshot force at 10 and 14 and not 1.

Oh sorry. If you prefer the old version then you can download 1.30. Delete all table sounds from it, export all table sound from 1.31. Re-import them into 1.30. Let me know if that pleases you better. I never fiddled with the side slings, I have only played this machine 2-3 games irl and have no re-collection on how strong they are. Yes, I agree, they are probably  way too strong still.

 

The changes I made to the sound was meant mostly as a guide, to go further. Same goes for using materials as physics. Again, sorry, if you think I've screwed it up.

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

I can’t tell if this is sarcasm, and I offended you thalmus, but that wasn’t my intentions at all! I was just curious as to the changes made because there wasn’t a change long and I just like to compare the differences! You guys are doing a great job on the table, and I have dumped a bit of playtime into this one so far!

I  was lucky enough to own this one for around 6 months.  Always had the most bad ass sound of pinball (maybe bk2k).  Sadly its gone, but I do get some great memories from this recreation.  I will have to listen to table without liquor and music one to know more, but thanks as this table rocks for new pinball players and old.

 

Tables seems to play faster than I remember.  Ball hit too high a speed on occasion  if that makes.  Can't remember the slant that I had.  3rdaxis might remember more.

@roccodimarco : sarcastic ? It wasn't mean to be. Honestly. Again. I sent balater the copy I had at that moment with arngrims edit and my changes. What is odd is that in the message I sent, all the info I wrote was gone. Only the link to dropbox survived. My intention was to show balater how he could more easily and effectively change physics, and the table script was full of code to take advantage of the 9th param for playsound. I'm sure that you agree with me that one rubbers physics should be the same as the next one. If you start using materials for things like that, you will be able to change them all at the same time very easily. Personally, I'm still making changes to my copy and info like what Slydog just provided makes me want to go back to watch some more youtube videos.
