Announcing my All-New Tron Legacy LE, VPX PinUP Player PuP-Packs. 3 different packs for almost any cabinet configuration.

 

The Max Pack: PuP Backglass, PuP Topper, and real DMD or virtual DMD on their own screens. 

This is by far the best looking version.

For anyone who has a real DMD or an LCD DMD screen. (Topper is optional). 

Has a brand new "framed" backglass with animated lens flares and colour changing neon effects to match the neon ramps and the gamemodes, other animations and new Topper videos. It makes the older PuP-Pack look very boring and simple in comparison. 

(2 Backglass video layers, 2 Topper video layers).

 

3 on 1 screen Pack: PuP Backglass, PuP Topper, DMD (PinMAME or DMDExt) are all on the Backglass screen.

For those who MUST have their virtual DMD on the backglass screen (16:9) and don't have room for anything else. If you have a "square" backglass screen, then you can try the other two packs ("Max Pack" or "2 on 1") and have the DMD below the PuP Backglass.

This Pack uses still image overlays for the new "framed" neon border. This overlay will change neon colours for game modes as well, but only has single colour transparency, and can't have animated neon or flares, or other animation on the border, so it's not as nice looking as the "Max Pack".

You need to position your virtual DMD at the bottom center of the PuP Backglass.

(1 Backglass video layer, 2 Topper video layers, virtual DMD Layer, 1 Overlay layer)

 

2 on 1 screen Pack: PuP Backglass, and PuP Topper on the Backglass screen. Real DMD or LCD DMD on a separate screen (unless you have a square screen that gives you space for it below the PuP Backglass)

For those who want the Topper on the backglass screen (16:9) and don't have room for anything else. If you have a "square" backglass screen, then you can also try the "Max Pack" and have the DMD below the PuP Backglass (Topper is optional with Max Pack).

This uses still image overlays for the new "framed" neon border. This overlay will change neon colours for game modes as well, but only has single colour transparency, and can't have animated neon or flares, or other animation on the border, so it's not as nice looking as the "Max Pack".

Nice hardware updates coming! Cool! 

 

Where is a good place to install a shaker like this ? I guess you don't want to shake to much your motherboard, your kl25z, your tilt bob... not easy to find a good spot!

I believe the best effect is on the base of the cabinet dead centre.

Progress is slow....but the plunger is done...

Into the abyss of the inside of my cabinet...

Nice to see inside PinKadia ........ perhaps just sort it all out in PinKadia #2, that's what I did!

Terry,

 

Do you play tables built by The Pinball Arcade?  I think I have watched all your videos and don't think I have ever seen any TPA tables.

 

If you have played them, are they any good?    Note that they are no longer going to sell Bally/Williams tables after June 31.

Long ago I did...but the lack of cabinet support made it a pain to get to work. So no, not anymore.

I still play TPA on a semi-regular basis (not on a cab mind, still working towards that) and they are fun to play but a bit too easy if you're used to the real thing.

 

It's a lot more forgiving and arcadey if that makes any sense and shots are easier to make. Also they seem to be going backwards in terms of bugs and menu glitches so take note.

 

Nonetheless I still enjoy playing them so I would suggest downloading the free version with the Arabian Nights table and give it a go. It'll cost you nothing to see if TPA is for you or not before the licences expire.

[TerryRed]

So...now that I had some time....yes...after 3 years...the cab is shaking!!! I finally installed a real Stern Shaker Motor.

 

[GeorgeH]

Terry,

 

I don't see how you figure out how to wire all that.  It is beyond my skill level anyway.

Nice stuff.  Glad to see you're up and going.

 

Time for you to try Attack from Mars! - the heaviest shaker table I'm aware of.

 

PS - FX3 Deadpool has some shaker action too!  Within DOFLinx scripts you can specify the intensity of the shaker if you want to.

Dude! Seriously! When did that happen?...lol!

 

So I can specify intensity on FP and FX3 scripts for...well anything now....not just in the DOFLinx.ini? Can you give me a FP command example? It's been a while...   

 

Yah...I was amazed at how well Iron Man and Avatar on FP turned out considering i never even tried a shaker before! The electrical and magnet effects are awesome if i do say so myself.

 

Glad to see FX3 tables have some shaker love too!

 

If you want some serious shaker action...try Stranger Things: Stranger Edition.  I added some cool "cinematic" shaker effects to that table! Works really well during cut scenes.

So after almost 3 years it finally happened!

 

I now have a lockdown bar.... as well as a new 1 player - 2 stick control panel (instead of the monster 2 player - 3 stick 1000 button panel).

 

The 2nd stick is still great for MAME 2 stick games, but is awesome for pinball games like The Getaway! But there's a twist!

 

Presenting the world's first control panel blower fan vent. This works so much better than having it come out through the coin return or on top of the cab!

 

Is all of this goofy and different than everyone else's cab? Yup...what else would you expect from me?

 

[GeorgeH]

Looks cool!  The layout of the buttons looks easier now. 

 

You might look for something called "high velocity vent covers" to cover the hole for your blower.  They are used in a new design of ventilation systems used in houses.  It appears that a 2 inch diameter is a standard size.  Hopefully, the hole is about that size.

Coming Soon... SSF for FX3 and Future Pinball

 

 

 

 

Once the new DOFLinx is released, I will upload 2 sets of "FX3 SSF" PuP-Packs!

 

The "DEFAULT TRIGGERS" PuP-Packs set will work for all tables with the standard Flippers, Slings, Bumpers, Drain, Ball In, Launch, and Nudge for SSF. These will use the same sounds and 3D positions for every table.

 

You simply setup DOFLinx for PUP SSF, and then copy these pup packs into your PinUPSystem folder.

 

 

For a more Complete SSF Experience:

 

 

Now, if you want more than the default sounds and positions...well this will require some editing of PuP-Packs from yourself or others.

 

I will make available, the "ALL TRIGGERS" PuP-Packs that can be a more table specific and complete SSF experience. HOWEVER, these need to be COMPLETED!

 

You would only copy over one of these PuP-Pack if you intend to edit them!

 

You simply need to play the game (using this version of the pack for the table), listen to the "numbers" you hear (and note where you heard it). Then you edit the PuP-Pack, find the trigger using the "number" you heard, and then change the sound file to what kind of action it is, and edit the 3d position of where the sound should come from.

 

It may sound complex...its not. Its very easy. Just watch my entire video and you will see me explain everything.

I’ve said it many times and on other sites....your videos are great! Thanks for the instructions.

[GeorgeH]

Terry,

 

You siad the center number needs to be 1 but on the sounds that you added they are set to 100.  Is there a reason?
