Thank you starman!

[Sabbat]

Just played a game and it plays great! You did a really good job converting this one to vp9. Great job on the nudging man!!! love the table

[bolt]

Very good release starman, thank you.

[Sabbat]

just had a great game, scored jigglebox, got my special, hit the 500 holes after they changed from game over. little over 5000k highscore so far

@ administrators - Sorry for the double post. I forgot that the upload thread is equal to the release thread.
The table file is only uploaded 1 time anyway.


I created this pinball to show that pinball tables doesn't need always flippers to be fun.

Don't worry, this pin isn't boring as flippered pinballs.
On the contrary. This table requires even more activity by the player. Throughout the game must be constantly corrected to hit i.e. all JIGGLEBOX letters.

New on this version is an add-a-ball feature. Therefore it's possible to get higher scores.
But avoid of the "game-over-holes". Even if you have lots of balls, the game may suddenly be over. Easier said than done...

Bob says he hates gobble holes, me too. The more it should be an incentive to circumvent them.
BTW: The two "game-over-gobble-holes" have DUAL FUNCTION! Once all the JIGGLEBOX letters are lit they transform to 500-point-kicker-cups and kick the ball back to the plunger.
Not to forget the attached swing music at its finest!

Oh yes, one more thing ... the backglass can be changed to either frivolous or good. -> Image manager -> bg or bg alternate.

Thanks for voting Sabbat Moon!

Have fun!

no problem, thank you for the awesome table. Now I only hope you continue to make WS versions of Goo Goo Da-Da, Fan-Tas-Tic and others


edit: Is their anyway you can add a tilt starman? I just tested to see if it had one and it does not. VP9 makes it real easy to cheat on this table without a tilt. Just keep pushing spacebar and you'll hit all the jigglebox targets lol.

Thanks for comment, Sabbat!

Tilt function? On a flipperless? Can't be a serious question, Sabbat. Very funny!

Actually I never used the space bar to nudge the table. I only use both flipper keys.
Only using the space bar you never had the control - it didn't work, at least for me.

Oh, yes I see - you mean if you hit very fast and constantly the space bar the ball goes up. Never had that idea, to do that.

Ok but that is not in the interest of the inventor. That's boring indeed.
But even if you play it that way, you must obtain that the ball must still down for points.

Thanks for the update Starman.

[starman]

For other starman table updates - we'll see. For now I would like tinkering with the Nova WS.

Fantastic remodel to VP9 has so far failed. For Fantastic it is necessary to provide the table slope during the spin phase to zero.

This code doesn't work in VP9:

*********************
Sub Flat()
FanTasTic.Slope = 0
End Sub

Sub Sloped()
FanTasTic.Slope = 6.2
End Sub
*********************

Must be another way to do that.

@ Sabbat Moon -
An abuse by rapidly pressing the Space key to prevent, I think that could be solved by implementing a timer:

Dim NTime

If keycode = CenterTiltKey And NTime = True Then Nudge 0, 3 : Jiggle : NTime = False : NTimer.Enabled = True

Sub NTimer_Timer
NTime = True
Me.Enabled = False
End Sub

The Timer could be set to about 300 - 500 ms.

I do not know anything about coding.
Tee´d off BP9 by JP Salas has a similar device, at least it looks like............
Hope this helps, cause Fan Tas Tic VP8 is a great table
Most people say that they can´t wait to play this or that table.....
I will patiently wait For NOVA VP9 WS, cause I know this is going to be one of the most incredible original ever made.

[ynneBBenny]

Thats a nice looking original.
What drawing package are you using?

[starman]

@ speed24 - For now there will be a WS version - after its scripted then of course 4:3 version.
Did some 4: 3 BG test setups, but I am so far not happy with any (angle, etc.).
Thanks! Also Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you.

@ 1234fd - Thanks - I've just seen the script. as it is a vpm table makes it a bit difficult.
If I can't find a solution for that I will ask the slope zero-question in the forums.

@ WWW- DAZ Studio 3 for the render and Picture Publisher 10 for drawings by hand.

Thanks for interest!

Beautiful table! Any chance we could get a FS Cabinet version??

Thanks
