Thank you ClarkKent,

I ended up playing the Flinstones all evening, having bad mood this mod table really cheered me up ;-)

The physics are great and i like the TNT Mod, it is a beauty.

Special thanks to your friend!!

Shame this version is hard to find here on VPforums.

 

How may beers he would need to Phys5 LWs MedieM Mod??? :-)

 

Big thx from here!!

Bigger ball, amazing light show, PM5 and a nice POV ;)

This table really deserves an official release!!

 

Congrats to your friend, he has made a top table!

I do not know if this can be officially released - it's a mod of LW mod... ;) Maybe LW can release this as an update? He would be allowed to...

  That's a REALLY nice , very colorful version of Flintstones. Thanks for making it available to the rest of us.

Just played (and modified flipper settings to allow some flipper tricks)this mod, I didn't really care for The Flintstones table before, but after testing this table mod I absolutely love it :D great Point of view as well (thanks to Pinball999)

the point of view is pretty awesome IMHO!  great job, thanks CK!  oops, I did get the bug we used to have on the LW night mod where the ball ends up getting stuck between the flippers on the loop around ramp (coming up from the left side to the right side).  The fix mentioned in this post doesn't work though as its already set to "slingshot"

 

http://www.vpforums....e=3#entry282212

 

this may have been a fluke though so will keep testing.  this bug did not happen to everyone, keep this in mind

I did not have the bug yet. But if it happens on very rare occasions I would see it as a typical pinball ball stuck... ;)

I've been having a go at converting JP's AFM beta to PM5, I've got it generally playing nicely.

I have one problem - the right ramp, the ball won't go up reliably, maybe 1 in 10 'perfect' shots will do it but most of the time it goes up and seems to bounce back of something.

I've tried everything I can think of, but no joy.

The left ramp is fine.

Weirdly you do seem to be able to backhand the right ramp sometimes.

Any ideas?

Use a helper! The AFM PhysMod5 table I posted does have a helper on this ramp.

Agreed, I played 3 more games last night and it never happened again. The old bug would happen on my PC almost every game I think

I figured something like that would be needed, only problem is I don't know how!

I'll grab that modded one you've uploaded and see if I can see how it works!

Cheers!

 

Edit: That version you posted was much nicer than what I'd achieved anyhow :)

I just swapped the nightmod playfield out for the standard one which is much more my VP skill level!

If somebody is interested in this - here is a T2 CE DX9 Physmod:

There are still some misaligned textures (mainly the slingshot plastics) and some at the canon (when it's moving) - maybe somebody can help to make this even more perfect?

And here a little gem my friend made:

 

Medieval Madness NM PhysMod5

 

Originally done by JP, NM by LW, PhysMod5 port by my friend and POV from Pinball999 (a little adapted by me). New catapult added by JP. Many thanx to all of them!!

Why the heck is there no official release for this?
That's the downside of VP, if you are not constantly around in the forums you miss out on great things.
My god, I wish I had time to actually play tables after all the browsing and maintaining.
Wasn't there someone developing and auto installer?
This would be my most wanted feature right now.

For myself anyways half the fun is keeping up with things. I would hate to see an auto updater for a couple reasons... First people that put all the work in these tables wouldn't get the credit they so deserve and 2nd would be a lot of people getting update but not contributing to these forums! How sad would that be?

He's really a friend - and he does not want to be mentioned by name. I'm working with him but the main work is done by him. I'm very very grateful I've met him! :)
