It won't work with any of the new betas, it needs an update bad

[vampirolatino2]

gotcha! I'll wait, don't worry.

If I can get a little help from gtxjoe we could probably get Verne's World released for everyone!
But there's a problem with the corkscrew in new vpx builds. It crashes on multi ball start. Maybe a vbs script issue but he came up with the whole system for that corkscrew and I'm not great at deciphering it. Fingers crossed!

[hauntfreaks]

ok... i see my answer.... nice

[freneticamnesic]

It's a clever little machine. Corkscrew pulls the balls up in a visible lock. When you hit multi ball it brings them to the top and drops them down a ramp. It works in sequence with a little plastic balloon which makes it really awesome
If you haven't seen this yet... This is how it used to work before errors occurred

I had not seen this thread or the original table, but it looks amazing.  Great re-draw.

That's the spirit, Fren! Love it. You can't keep a creative Dynamo down.

Edit: Watched the video. Most crazily-convoluted transport system. Marvel of engineering.

Send me the latest WIP and I will give it a go... that video brings back nightmares

That corkscrew has a motor solenoid and like 4 or 5 switches. It should have been straight forward to make it work but the ROM wasn't always happy with the timing or something.

[freneticamnesic]

I think the rom ignores a switch iirc, or at least you scripted it to ignore one, or the switches are in an odd order, something stupid like that. I am making it a bigger issue than it is, the function of the corkscrew that you scripted still works, I believe it's only a ball identification bug. It works perfectly then the first ball releases and I think gets halfway down the ramp before it errors. I'll send you the latest build when I get off work.

[freneticamnesic]

ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hmm.

 

 

well

this is embarrassing 

it just works now

so...I'll fine tune the physics and play test a bit more and release it

[freneticamnesic]

Spent some time sprucing up the models, tweaking lighting, all kinds of stuff

 

[hauntfreaks]

yeah your version looks alot different then the vpx version I have.... I believe this is the first VPX I ever downloaded

Looks great fren I can't wait to get this bad boy on my cab and play the shit out of it.. :-)

[freneticamnesic]

hauntfreaks lol yea that was before they even assigned pink color to anything without a material, so everything was black, can't believe how many materials I missed when I finally loaded it up a few months ago to work on it

I redid the volcano model, submarine model, cave model, textures for all 3, redid the lighting, added new environment and color scale, new flippers from zany, ALL new ramps, hand made in blender this time instead of importing from FP, so they're seamless Lot of work just updating it

Just saw this Vernes world for sale in Cincinnati. Maybe he could provide pics or other resources:
