Yeah, but it's not going to be a fully modeled head. It's going to be similar to the way it's done now, mapped to cylinder, but it will move smoother as well as make it possible for it to wobble when hit.

Very cool, looking forward to it.

I found a really good video of CV today...showing the very fast ball movement that makes CV so fun / challenging to play.

Looks like they just put a coat of wax on it that day!

Unfortunately I have, but only twice. 

Ive been playing around with it to finally fix before next update. 

Thx for reporting that. 

[rockyrocket]

Your welcome, it was actually amusing more than anything.

I must though comment on just how great the table looks now with both the new lighting and upgraded model - well done.

[koadic]

Well, we are almost finished messing with it, so it might get updated here in a day or three

Here's a quote from teppotee about some of the changes, just to give you an idea...
 

And about the RM... you nailed it!! It's just incredible how naturally it reacts to the ball hits. Really really amazing!

Sweet! I been putting off the download till this version releases.. I can't wait!

[teppotee]

Just had the priviledge of testing it quickly and It's worth the wait

 

Here's another teaser...

Very cool, looking forward to it.

Your wife is never going to forgive us after this update! Lmao

F***ing awesome on that head and lighting! Not so sure about the teal flippers but we can change that easy enough.. I'm ready to play!

[teppotee]

The teal flippers are the BMPR ones This time BMPR is done much better and there for example separate set of flippers, different friction settings etc. when it's enabled. I just used a different color to separate them...

The head moving looks great.

Stunning work guys, looks fantastic.

Ok cool.. Thanks Teppotee for all your great work!

That's cool to hear Teppo regarding more changes regarding the BMPR related settings. I have been busy with some real life stuff over the last week and this weekend but wanted to respond with a few things I think would be key and the best way to get a good "bang-for-the-buck" version with scripting a couple extra settings with the BMPR option. Using "tablename".HardFriction (same as table editor friction setting) and setting it so that it is somewhere in the typical BMPR range (.00325 to .00375) along with "tablename".SlopeMin / .SlopeMax slope setting (around 4.8 - 5.2 for modern tables) is a big start and gets a chunk of gain into what the considerable benefit from the BMPR might be with the least amount of time needed. A weightier feel of the ball achieved with BMPR is much better augmented if also working with higher table friction.  If you're changing the flippers that's even more options to work with but you might have to be careful where you place those commands and where the tap code is located because the tap code reads the initial flipper settings to do part of it's equations and return various settings back to "normal" after altering them during the tap timer window / calculations.

 

It would be a nice courtesy as well to go with my suggestion / request and refer to the more simplistic BMPR implementation as "BMPR lite" on this and any other tables done or updated in this fashion going forward. I think this would be a good compromise and in the suggestion itself is an attempt to be a bit whimsical about the whole situation and our differing views on the matter.  In all of this, and if you want to keep using the BMPR in the limited / optional implementation style, I think this wording request is a reasonable and extremely easy element to alter that would go far in serving everyone’s respective interests by allowing for yet distinguishing between a fully tuned implementation vs, a more simplistic and optionally set approach.

 

By the way, nice work with the ringmaster head, looks really cool!
