I just tried to make a non-spanned table out of this when i saw how this table is built.

Destruk, you really rotated those thousands of reelimages? OMG! Hat's off for that!

I gave up on making an FS conversion, too much work (and limited VP skills here). Perhaps we will see a release someday. Love the game too, GREAT game!

a few days back someone posted this about how to turn a VP 4:3 into a FS pin
I don't know if this is a universal setting or not though as I have yet to try it out

The settings can be similar, but every table has different values for the x/y offset and scale. It's trial and error until the table fits right.

Anyhow this table is a special case. A very special case. I try to explain it:
the table itself has no graphics at all. Everything is just plain blue and red.


The graphics are all done in form of backglass EMreel images.


These EMreel images have the advantage, that the table script is able to change the EMreel image. In this case Scapino used this to have two or more images at every position. One with lights, one dark. (This can also be used for longer animations e.g. like the pyramid on the Stargate table.)
Destruk must have rotated every single animation frame 270 ° in e.g. Photoshop. Then he positioned the new images in a way, that the table is on one screen and the backglass on the second (spanned table). For a FS table, you would need to resize all the EMreel images on the backglass and put them in the right position. Good luck with that.

EDIT: Never mind. I was thinking of the FP table...
