I like your experiment!!

Love the lighting!!

Sounds like Conan music and sword sounds!!

Perfect theme for this table!! Thulsa Doom flashing his serpent eyes!!

Reminds me of the Conan sound mod I made out of JPSalas and Batch's table....

And thanks for the updates!!

Your work is appreciated!!

Damn good job!!

Carry on.

Oh yes. Please implement this in 1.3. I've for a long time wanted tables to "flash" - real pins often do and this is one of the areas where I think we're far behind the real thing. You guys doing the aggressive lighting from the lizard head and the magna saves was already for me at least a step forward in that direction. Curious to see my fps readings will be. I have a nvidia 1080 and even old tables can give me small stutter. One of the old tables that can make my gfx card crying for more resources is ICP ?? Kingpin when the flashes start for the first time. Seems to be a first time - render thing though. After the first flashing action is over the table runs butter smooth. This is not my area of expertise, maybe VP needs some kind of pre-render to prevent this ?!

 

Or ... it might be of course related to my install. I still run in window mode out of convenience.

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

Thank you very much Slydog43 and 3rdaxis for this update. Only about a week until I'm home again - able to play it on the Vpin. I can assure you. Looking forward to it !

Can someone tell me what to edit to have the nudge be more powerful? I use buttons and there isn’t much nudge Compared to say rollercoaster tycoon or Lady Luck. Thanks!

Hey 3rdaxis, great update! Love the lighting and physics tweaks, new flippers are very nice (thanks g5k). The target animations are awesome, really add to the realism. Auto play is the BOMB, you could almost use it for gambling  :D Next thing you need to do is code 2-player human versus machine mode, that would be sweet.. Many thanks!

Really cool, but i wonder about the new very big File Size ;)
Sounds only, what could be so "big" ?

Yep, just the extra sound files. Could have did the usual separate .mp3 music folder with the download but that's a pain. I can never get that to work properly and also, it doesn't sound as nice as the .wav files. :)

Ive have sent an offer to the person with the real GL pin, to get better scans of the plastics. Sounds like they might be coming off again. In return, I would make some protectors for the high risk ones. Keep your fingers crossed. But no ETA as of yet. :)

 

Oh, and you now have the record for file size increase. Wow!
