To those people wondering if it's worth it to upload these tables, aside from the fact they are very well done by a master, is that it gives you a chance to play tables that you may not have played in a while  (or ever) and appreciate the vintage stuff as well as take a trip through the various ages of this engaging hobby/pastime. 

 

I for one, being an older gentleman have really enjoyed the trip back to playing some of the tables I enjoyed in my younger days and am grateful to JP for undertaking this mammoth upgrading task.  It exemplifies dedication to this community to keep it going.  Thank you sir.

You are welcome! :) I thought the FS view should be best view in explorer, and the size too.

You can also increase the volume in the script.

In this table find at the top of the script:

 

Const SongVolume = 0.3 ' 1 is full volume. Value is from 0 to 1

 

And change that 0.3 to 1, like this

 

Const SongVolume = 1 ' 1 is full volume. Value is from 0 to 1

 

Many, or all, of my original tables have this variable. I always have this variable quite low so I can hear better the voices, as I find the music distracting :)

 

Do this first :) And if the volume if not high enough then you can increase the volume as xenonph wrote.

 

 

 

Hi, I had already tried this method also, it does not work ! Nothing changes, the volume doesn't go up, I can hardly hear anything

 

 

The you should need to check your Windows sound settings. Does other tables work fine? Mostly original tables, like for example my Mago de Oz? Which is a table based on the Spanish rock group Mago de Oz..

 

Hi!
I finally found and fixed the issue. It was a PupVideo pack for Ghostbusters that was overriding the table's audio, making it very low, even when the backglass audio was not audible. Essentially, it was compressing/limiting the table's audio to highlight its sound. With PinUp Popper, I set the FULLDMD volume to 60%, and magically everything is now balanced.
Thanks again for your support, you were very kind! Talk to you soon.

hahaha, I guess not :) I guess updating 253 tables is not something they want to do just now :)

Hello again JP. This will be my last bug report of the year. I promise! ;)

 

When the Jokerz center ramp was up, it would occasionally block shots at the bottom left and right parts of the ramp. This is caused by the physical walls of "iRamp". Changing iRamp bottom height to -95 should make the walls match the slope of "CenterRamp" and not stick up.

 

Cheers and Happy Holidays! :D

Thanks! I'll fix that :)

 

 

Edit: I have uploaded an updated table. But I simply removed the physical side walls of the ramp. It seems to work fine :) And now the ball can fall off the ramp too :)

Removing the walls helps the physics of the ramp, but now the balls pass under the ramp. The ramp has lower side walls to prevent that.

 

It's probably my fault for not explaining correctly.  :blush:

Just download the table again. The first one I upload had both invisible ramps with the 0 sidewalls, then I realized the one under must have walls to stop the ball from going under. So, it is already fixed :)
