You find them all in this thread.the reason for this is that the physmod is not official. It's only a beta version for testing the new physics engine which will be part of VP10.

Anyone one hear from mukuste

[fuzzel]

Other than his last post not yet

[toxie]

i guess we will just backmerge his physmod changes into the VP10 trunk soon.. then we/he can pick off from there..

[BananaBoat]

Has mukuste given up on this project?

[fuzzel]

Nobody knows except Mukuste himself

[The Loafer]

He stated previously he was moving and Internet access was going to be limited. I like to think mukuste has his priorities right and that since it's the summer time, he's taking advantage of it, sitting on a beach somewhere filling up the gas tank and will log back in once summer is over.

[toxie]

anyway, i will start syncing his code with VP10 before it diverges more and more (e.g. more and more pain to merge).

[toxie]

..and done, VP10 is now physmod compliant 

[patrickfx]

6 hours. Acceptable �

Wow!

[toxie]

actually it were ~2 hours, had to finish real work first..

 

and fix a pinmame (->pindmd/alving) bug inbetween.. 

[jkimbrell]

awesome, toxie!  Is there an ETA on when we may see a beta of VP10?

[toxie]

first we have to start adding some more new features and other changes before beginning with the alpha/beta phase (currently there are just too many loose ends).

fuzzel and me have a few things on our todo-lists that we want/need to put in, and maybe mukuste will also join in again with his plans.

 

then as soon as it makes sense for testing and the artists/builders to start producing stuff with it, we will start the already known alpha/beta phase again where everyone is encouraged to participate.

thanks Toxie sounds good

[javier1515]

Good news Toxie, thanks for everything your work.           

[gStAv]

that's some good news!

[mkl66]

I'm always excited to hear news about the development of VP in this thread.

So this rainy summer here in germany has some good sides concerning the progress of VP10. The german developer are sitting in front of their computer instead of relaxing on the pool

There seems to be a bug in physmod5 where to ball could go under the playfield. It happens in my physmod version of Cyclone (weak plunger shots can cause the ball falling through the playfield under the apron) and it happens to my latest physmod TZ (the right spiral magnet holds the ball but the kicker then kicks it under the playfield).

 

Can somebody fix this?

Toxie - Just in case Mukuste has left the project.  I found an issue with ramps in the phsymod 5 version where it sounded like it was introducing spin or extra friction that shouldn't be there.  he mentioned something to me in PM about looking at it on the next build as those should be controllable in the editor.  I made him a test table showing the issue.  Not sure if he ever mentioned it to you but it's something that is a challenging issue.  Feel free to PM me if you want more details or the test table.

I think I found the fix for the problem in the Twilight Zone physmod5 version. Here is the latest beta:
