Twilight Zone (Scapino)



Version: 1.2.0
Category: VPinMAME 8.x Recreations

Author(s): scapino

Description:
Lots to do in this classic!
Third Release v1.2

This release fixes a bug with the GI lighing on newer versions of VPMame.

*****
Second Release v1.1

Made sure that the sync level defaults to 0 instead of 30. This gave me a great improvement in the smoothness of ball movement.

Thanks to PacDude for this info!

First Release v1.0

This one was almost as hard as Circus Voltaire! Its very complex, and testing it is a real challenge, as there is so much to do, and so much stuff that is intertwined.

So heres it us. It plays very well for a first release. You will find occasionally a ball will disappear into the "twilight zone ", in which case you can hit the "b" key to add a ball to the trough. If you need to, you can add more then 1.

You can hit the "m" key to make the menu show up. Then use the Up Down arrow keys to select a item to change. And use the Left/Right keys to change the item. Hit "m" again when you are done. Your settings are saved for the next time you run the table. If you change the game rom, you will have to quit and restart the game.

On this table, you can hide the overlay images, in the menu selection, overlay.

You can also adjust the left and right outposts to E easy, M Medium, H Hard.

You can also switch between Fadeing lights and Instant On/Off lights.

Also I put in 2 settings for the plunger. The old way works with just the return key/hold release.
The new version uses the up and down arrow keys to select a strength, and return releases the ball.

Enjoy Twilight Zone, and dont hesitate to mention any problems you might have with it, and I'll see
if I can fix it for the next release.

Special thanks to PacDude and everyone else who recreated this table in the past.
This version would ABSOLUTLY NOT have been possible without your hard work,
and attention to detail!

Enjoy Twilight Zone!

I tried to start this table but the plunger doesn't work. It works well with other tables. I tried another key button but still the same. Also deleted the cache file from table.

don't forget this table runs on VP8 not vp9!
check its release date
you're right that plunger is dead!
I'll look into it in a bit
a quick look tells me that the plunger is missing!
the graphics are there for it but there is no plunger at all
PM him and let the table builder know as I can't get one to work in that spot at all

If I recall, my version of This table doesn't use a plunger (I directly push the ball through code.) Use the up and down arrow keys to set the plunger power level, and then hit the return key to release. Kurt

This is one of Scapino's great inventions ! Something I' d liked to find one more tables, actual ones, as it allows to control with precision the strength of your shot.

Nice to hear from you,Scapino ! I hope everything is going fine backstage !
