Thanks again for sharing the beta, and bringing solid physics that equal the gorgeous graphics Melon. A perfect time of year to take the rod down to the lake and enjoy a few cold ones.....along with VP on the laptop.


Was this you prior to this tables release??

Just finished playing a game, and to put it mildly, was IN THE ZONE. 1.5 Billion points, 19 Rock Boats and 6 Fish caught/Tales. Don't think I can ever duplicate that, but....you never know.

Adjusted physics
New sounds
Textured flippers
Table darkened
Metal wires in the apron

Thank you, I have been waiting for this a long time ... fish tales is one of my all time favorites. I refurbished a fishtales for 1 year. Unfortunatelyy wife insisted on selling it before starting my cab build. Now I am really curious how close this is to reality. When are you planning the FS version?

Really nice Melon!! :D
I did change the reel primitive texture. It doesn'n make sense that the shadow rotates with the primitive, i also unchecked the "enable lightning" on that prim.

Here the changed texture:

If you use the latest 9.2.1 beta version you can set X Offset to 1.32, Z Scale to 1.5 and Z Offset to 40 to add some depth but I get some transparent issues for the ramps (see screenshot). Besides that it's really a great update, thx! :)

ZScale is a great addition, maybe I'll use it in next updates. I'll take a look at those glitches.

great update, scores are getting good as I think Caster's Club is a little easy to hit, and its a huge shot to be able to make on command.  Might not play the real thing for a while! (No thats a complement!)

Updated to 2.0.1

As Zany said, I changed the texture from the reel and darkened it a bit.
Also changed the yellow color from the posts.
Enjoy  ;)

Very good. I really appreciate the lightings.

And it's good to have both desktop and FS versions.

 

Many thanks!
