A quick conversion of my FS table.

Thanks to:
- TAB for giving permission to re-use some graphical items from his Starship troopers table.

- Destruk, I used your old script as a starting point(this is my first VPM table after all).

- WTiger for the stripped playfield image.

- Shooby Doo for the WS view settings

- New and better looking view
- Side rails
- Replaced the brain bug to the one I use in the FS release.

Thank you for the ws version.

Thanks for this, but something seems a bit off. The table looks like it is 10 feet long & the apron also looks too tall & stretched out. I don't play FS, but I checked the screenie & it looks pretty good. So maybe just a few tweaks on this will sort things out? I know I'll at least be tweaking it hopefully to 4:3 cuz I can't do WS.

Thanks for this rosve! It's quite a light show... looks and plays really nice.

I made a few small adjustments that were quick and easy:



It was pretty simple, I just had to move the one EM reel and make it a bit bigger. I can post the numbers if anyone is interested.

Sure, i'm interested Shooby Doo. I'll be checking out this table in a little while

Nice settings Shooby Doo, post the values please.

[rcadefrk]

Just checked it out rosve, thanks for releasing the table, but the view is aweful in my opinion. Just waiting on your settings Shooby Doo, that screenshot looks great....

I always, the time I have to spend on VP is very limited and I didn't put a whole lot of work into this WS release.
Shooby, Your settings looks much better than mine. If You could post them here I'll update the table with your settings.

I didn't get back on the computer last night and I'm at work now, but when I get home this evening I'll be sure to post the details. I should have just went ahead and did it... said Captain Hindsight.

I changed my settings to Inclination 55, Field Of View 35, Changed the x and y scales to 1.15, and set the offset to 60. I changed the brain bug reel to x 508, Y 200, and it's width to 110 and it's height to 150. The gap between the flippers seemed a little wide so I adjusted those to 130 from 115. That makes the table look and play pretty good. Thanks Rosve!! You did pretty good for a first table.

Glad you like it.
The gap between the flippers on my table is the same as on the real pin. If you close the gap you make it too easy.
It's not my first table (it's my first VPM table), but I mostly make FS tables so I kind of lost it when it comes to convert my tables to WS I'm afraid.

[rcadefrk]

We still enjoy your work rosve & appreciate the efforts. Especially if it is something as simple as changing a few numbers, you put in the hard work buddy! Look forward to more WS tables!

I wondered the same myself about the flippers, but I played a game and couldn't make the default replay.

Do you make the default replay on all games you play?
The game isn't supposed to give away free games.

Here's the numbers I changed:

Thanks for another great table Rosve. Glad to see this one get your detailed treatment.

Thanks for the new settings Shooby Doo...looks just about right.

[rcadefrk]

Thanks shooby, looks great now. All thats left to do is add cabinet rails, very good release rosve!

[bolt]

Thank you for the new values Shooby Doo.

[rosve]

Thank you Shooby,

I'll try to have an update ready tonight (with side rails).

I though an FS pin was really just a reg one flipped upward on a different angle.
What is the difference then of building a FS pin compared to a reg 4:3?
