This is a complete rebuild of Attack from Mars, based on the table by Midway/Bally/Williams from 1995.
 
Version 5.0 is only for VPX8, as it includes many changes only available in VPX8.

What's New in Version 5.0.0 (See full changelog)

  • 5.0.0 Released 29.06.2023
  • - fixed wall visibility issue with VPX 10.8
  • - new flipper code thanks to JlouLouLou
  • - Updated for VPX8
  • 4.0.0 Updated 14.08.2022
  • - Updated to my VPX7 physics
  • - cleaned up graphics & reduced the size of the table
  • - Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darker the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.
  • - Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.
  • - a few changes here and there
  • 3.0.5 Updated 19.05.2022
  • - Added an increase in GI lights intensity when selecting a darker lever using the LEFT and RIGHT CTRL keys.
  • - Made the insert texts sharper and darker.
  • 3.0.4 Updated 28.01.2022
  • - fixed big ufo. Thanks kiwi for the fixed mesh.
  • 3.0.3 Updated 25.01.2022
  • - fixed the ball lost during multiball by adding a playfield mesh with holes and removing the old kicker ball animations.
  • - made a separate LE revision of the table with different graphics and color leds.
  • 3.02 Updated 10.05.2021
  • - re-enabled the saucers shake when nudging.
  • 3.01 Updated 09.05.2021 for VPX 10.7
  • - Reduced table's file size
  • - Tried to fix the table loosing count of balls (gone back using the cvpmBallStack instead of the newer cvpmTrough, this allows me to check for the number of balls in the stack and kick them all out, check lines 450++)
  • - Change the GI to what I'm using now
  • - Added the materials for VPX 10.7 for better physics on the walls, although there aren't many as the rubbers were already done with rubber objects)
  • 3.0 Updated 16.10.2020
  • Updated script, physics & graphics:
  • - added the arcade physics 3.0
  • - made optional modulated solenoids, default is off. The change must be done in the script, set the Const UseVPMModSol = True
  • - enhanced the images if they were not already 4k (or close enough :) ).
  • - removed workarounds for the vpinmame droptargets as they fully support SSF (hit sounds) with the latest vpinmame.
  • - new rolling routine that now includes the ball shadow, the ball drop sound from Rothbauer and my ball speed control.
  • - Easy change of the ambient lightning: Hold down LeftMagnaSave and with RightMagnaSave it will switch between LUT images, from light to dark, 9 levels, and the selection will be saved for the table.
  • - added sideblades
  • - some extra collision sounds.
  • 2.0.1 Updated 04.01.2020
  • - New FS POV for cabinets
  • - Update physics to my latest arcade physics.
  • 2.0.0 Updated 24.08.2019
  • - "DT" version, new physics, FS view, new UFO, some small graphic changes gere and there.
  • 1.3.0 Updated 02.02.2019
  • - added SSF sound scripts and changed some mechanical sounds.
  • - changed environment image to enhance chrome metals
  • - changed materials
  • - changed ufo textures
  • - changed flashers
  • - changed flipper physics and appearance
  • - removed old photoshop lights and make them only with VPX lights.
  • - changed ramps since they were very hard to make
  • - changed the lock ball gate to use a "flipper" for movement.
  • - changed fading script to my new one (or older actually :) ), with simpler flasher fading. Although this table uses the modulated flashers.
  • 1.2.0 updated 31.12.2016
  • - updated for VPX 10.2 and vpinmame 2.8 (added modulated flashers, and fixed some wrong values from vpx 10.0)
  • - changed the "strobe". Now using a flasher, mostly to test is the stutter is gone.
  • 1.1.1 Updated 18.02.2016
  • - Dof by arngrim
  • - adjusted flashers for FS view.

I always get an error in line 50 ("with Controller") which tells me that a Controller is required. I am answering the DOF question with "no".

I have this problem in every VPX table I've tried so far. What's wrong?

Okay, it was my fault: Didn't start VPX as administrator. Cheers :)

Not getting sound in this table for some reason - I get the flipper / ball sounds, etc. but not any kind of game sounds.  Wondering what I've managed to goof up.  All my other installed VPX tables work fine.  Any suggestions?

I have the same issue with this table.  Get all the flippers / ball sounds, but no music.  I've checked that the table volume is all the way up too, no luck.  Any ideas?

For some reason, the sound on just this table turned off yesterday on my cab too. The fix was to press F1 and enable the use of the rom sound again by checking the box, save, then press F3 to reload the rom. All fixed now, but I'm not sure how it got disable. Odd.

Hmm, tried to reset a few times and restarted it completely.  Still nothing for sound other than the defaults.  Guess I'll try the other AFM VPX table and see if it works.

Ok, finally got it working.  I tried removing the cfg and nvram files but it didn't have any effect at first.  I grabbed the afm_113 and afm_11 roms and threw them in my rom directory for good measure.  I re-cleared the cfg and nvram files once again, restarted everything and now it's working.   Doubtful that the other roms did anything since I only see afm_113b referenced in the AFM and AFRM table scripts that are uncommented.  I only list it because it was part of the steps I went through - I was about to uncomment the afm_113 line and comment out the 113b rom.  But more than likely the multiple clearing of the nvram/cfg reset something, although I've got no clue why it didn't work the first time.  Anyway, both are working now and both are awesome tables! Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks!  This was the fix for me.  I had no clue about the "F1" options having a Sound option, and definitely not sure what caused it to be unchecked.  Fixing that and reloading did the trick.

anyone else getting a trough error in the script? Line: 81 Variable is undefined: 'cvpmTrough"

Im getting the same error

 

figured it out... place core.vbs in the tables folder

 

 

I also struggled with this for a long time. Looks like the installer put a core.vbs and some other scripts in both the Tables folder and the Scripts folder. Once I deleted the older scripts in the Table folder, the new scripts in the Scripts folder was run and everything was ok. 

 

Hope this helps.
