Great update, thanks.

Sorry, I reloaded the table to fix the wrong handling of the 3Million target, I left the same version of the file (1.3.3).

Thanks for the update Kiwi. Actually played this one with my friend in our beer drinking / vp competition yesterday. It is in the "approved" tables, with some custom ram settings to make it more fair. Really a fun game.

Thanks kiwi

Kiwi thanks !!!!! Fun Game, looks fantastic .... I played one for real in California a few years ago, they seem hard to come by in the real world. Appreciate your update !!

I don't know why but for some reason this table takes, literally, minutes to load. 

It loaded 'once' like any other table but now, including this latest version, it sits and spins for minutes before it loads.

It's to the point I can't play it since Popper times out before it can load.

Wryker.    I have noticed the same on load times.    This was true of the prior version as well.     I am not sure why.    Usually Kiwi's stuff loads really fast but not this table.    As takes at least a 1 to 2 minutes on my machine.   I have tried Pinballx and Pinup Popper as a frontend.  Both had the same load time.   Seems to load in a reasonable time when launched direct from VPX.    I was hoping this new version might have corrected the load time but I guess not.     Not bashing Kiwi I have a 10 year old rig so it might be lacking the power. (Please no hate)   I love you Kiwi and his tables as he has mad skills.

Normally, if I launch a rom table directly from VPX, no frontend here,

it takes about ten seconds to render, same timing on an old PC and on a new, more powerful PC.

 

The times get longer if I use the compression of the textures, 20 seconds on the new PC and 30 on the old one.

 

In the last updates I have added new backbox images for single full screen mode,

open the Image Editor and delete the images I highlighted in blue, and see if the rendering times improve.

Thank you! This appears to have dramatically shortened the time to load for my 3 screen cabinet!!

Hi Kiwi,

tried to send you a message, but not able to send you a message.
Scutters and I modified version 1.3.3 of your table to support FlexDMD.
Here's a small preview on my cab :


Multiple colors can be select:

 

Send me an IM and I can give you a link to the modified VPX (all in the vpx, no extra subfolder needed)

[kiwi]

Great!

 

I have a full inbox, I'm going to delete some old messages now.

[Mike DA Spike]

Link send to you !

[digitalarts]

Great! Makes good table even better ☺️

[kiwi]

update 1.3.4

 

Added FlexDMD support, thanks to Mike DA Spike and Scutters.

is disabled by default, script line 105 to enable, next line to change color.

 

I resized some images to try to improve loading times,

FSS mode images are now named as Backbox and Backglass, in case you want to delete them.

[Thalamus]

Thanks guys for the latest updates !

Hi Kiwi, I really like the flexdmd, but how do I remove the scoring from the backglass because I don’t need 2 scores on my cabinet.

hopefully you or someone can help.

Hit F1 while the table is running and uncheck "Use External DMD".

The "use externall dmd" will be automaticly turned off when flexdmd is turned on in the script.
You need a backglass for '3 screen setup', and on the backglass menu (right click bg), you need to turn off the dmd.
This need to be supported by the bg, so not all bg's supports this.

You can see on my picture a few posts back that I dont have the dmd on my bg

EDIT :
Here's the Backglass menu. As You can see, I turned of the grill and the DMD
