[unclewilly]

For some reason i'm retarded and i can't get this video to post here. a little pinbot gameplay. out for testing on monday. then off to finish up bop

[kruge99]

that looks so wicked! I can't wait to run this in my FS pinball PC. 1986, all over again!!

CODE

Basically it's 'youtube' the video number (not includeing the url) '/youtube'

and you replace the ' character with square open/close brackets.

I might be able to help on testing Pin-Bot, i have this ball draining bastard engraved on my brain. Played it from 87-92 non stop.
Also have the PHOF version wich pretty much plays the same.

I find the PHOF version on ps3 to be rediculously easier than the real thing. My 2 cents.

[Sabbat]

I've got the NES version lol

I've got the NES version lol

I lol'd when I saw the screenies for that. My, how far games have come. I don't miss the good old days of 8-bit, like I miss the good old days of pinball, that's for sure.

Man i remember the day my mom came home with Pin*Bot... we were severely dissapointed in the way it played compared to Pinball and later Rollerball when we got it on NES.

I still play the NES version to this day now and then. The worst thing about it really is just that the flippers move with the screen, so if the ball is at the top of the playfield you will still see the flippers so you know where they are at when the ball comes back down.

I miss the 8bit days. I have no want or care really for any console after Dreamcast.

[PainkillerAlice]

I player both PinBot and High Speed for the NES and hated them both. There were extra features that got put into them that made the gameplay abysmal. The console pinball games I loved the most were the PSX's True Pinball and the Atari 2600's Midnight Magic.

The X360 version is hard like the one i used to play.

I am amazed from the moving ramp...it looks soooo good !!!!

And you say it is made with gates ??

I have been peeking at Jack-Bot by JP , and it is a normal ramp , with something called "array" in the script.

Yes it's actually just one gate and the animation is super smooth. I know your looking for a solution for the drop ramps in the table you are doing. If you'd like I can send it to you to see how it works. The best thing about it is the gate is not collideable so it can be as wide as you need it and it will work out even for say a curved drop ramp. It's just a matter of lining it up. I could have used it for the visor as well.

If you'd like to see how it works for your table let me know and I'll send it your way

You might be able to help powercrispher out with the launch ramp on this Dracula table, as he was trying to work out the best way to do it, and your method looks ideal.

Great looking table though UW as always

Just a reminder that I AM interested in how you used the gate for the drop ramp. Take your time though on making an example table illustrating such. I have the patience.

I'll send you a copy when I send it out to the testers

Question for the 4:3 guys

is this an acceptable angle?
also, would you prefer the leds from the dmd to be coded in with lights
or to just use the pinmame display

[vic viper]

That view is perfect uw

I would prefer the leds from the dmd to be coded in with lights

But it really doesn't matter

Hi UW!

Nice Job! I can't wait to play this beauty!!

But you asked and my opinion is....

INC / FOV something between:

INC: 55 to 60

FOV: 30 to 40

No DMD

Thanks for your attention!

[unclewilly]

I'll see what I can do to get it closer to that. Right now it's 53/23. The helmet may not look right at the 60/30 angle but I'll check it out before I do the backdrop.
