(i'll try get some more animated-gifs up here over the weekend, i think one of Balrog would look cool)
Concerning the version. Practicedummy had it right, VP_9.9.
There will be no VP10 release for LOTR. VPX and VP9 are not compatible.

Looks really impressive !!
But we only play FS / cab tables, so I hope that there will be a FS release
Thank you for the compliment! ![]()

Latest visual-proof that an updated FS-version release is currently in the making:

Time now to cast all the land in complete darkness, and let the Eye of Sauron show us the way ... ![]()


This just looks awesome, it shouts Ferrari!

(This is all the 'light information', next step is to transfers the red mask to all the various parts which make up the table, that way keeping the look consistent throughout.)

Hello Baloo,
I'm not sure the FS version needs the DMD reflection, since cab users have it already from their third screen or real DMD.
Let's see what the others think.

Hi baloo42,
i played your new version, Wow, the table is amazing. Everything looks great and the gameplay is very good.
Three little things.
1.) I can see the "O R C" lamps not so good
2.) I use a 16:9 monitor and your backglass is to small with black border on the left and right side.
3.) YOur animated Balrog looks very nice but I' m a fan of the original Balrog, Is it possible to make a choice of the different Balrog in a menu?
Thank you for all the work on this table.
regards
bolt

Much thanks Bolt, i appreciate your thoughts.
1.) I have worked on a solution for the lights, well-noted.
2.) Perfect, i can increase the width of the back-glass.
3.) Balrog, i can definitely make a version with the previous balrog, no problem. But it will have to be a separate version to download. i will do this when we have reached final update.
The future updates for LOTR will bring many more improvements. (i keep seeing things i have missed all the time, it's a big table)
You're very welcome, and thank-you for all the support. ![]()
Greetings
baloo
