Looks great! Is there a full screen version available?

Its coming soon...
Its pretty close, but I had to show some desktop love... so I worked extra hard on those to get them out..

The full screen is friggin beautiful, if I do say so myself...and I do.. lol
I learned a lot on these projects, by the time Target Alpha was well on its way, I decided that working on both desktop and full screen versions simultaneously was the best way..

and little things I learned while working on one table, I would go back and add to the other..Its sorta like golf, one of those things you love to hate..

Well I've been working on it most of the day, but the girlfriend is coming into town tonight, and I decided I'd better make an effort to tidy up the place...I made the effort...but not much got done..lol

Stay Tuned...

Peace,
Lynny

Oh, check the WIP section, there are WIP screenshots of the full screen versions I'm currently working on..

Awesome man! Checked out both tables and they look great can't wait to add them to the cab!

The struggle with those tables is output of the scoring to either UVP or B2S, I've done some preliminary work on B2S backglasses for both, but the scripting is killing me..Air Aces is old, and hard for me to follow or locate the scoring portion..and my lack of scripting knowledge on Target Alpha is holding me back, too..lol..

If I could figure out how they rotate the scores on some full screen tables, so the score is on the lower portion of the playfield, I could at least release them until I get the backglasses finished.. If anyone can help with scripting..drop me a PM..

For testing, I just put the scores off to the side, or down the launch alley... hehe..works for me, but some people might not want to crane their necks to read the score..lolol

Peace,

Strategy question: anyone know what you are supposed to shoot for after you knock down all the targets?

Not the targets as they reset only at ball launch.
So, you have to shoot for the 2 extra ball lanes and the special lane.

Don't you have to clear the drop down row at the top, twice, on a single ball...to advance bonus multiplier...or activate something??

I believe, as Popotte said, the drop-targets don't reset until you drain the ball, so you can only drop them once per ball.

Yeah, I went and checked it. I'm thinking of another table, Genie maybe...
I long for the day when I have room to set my Target Alpha back up...sniff..sniff...I miss it..

Did you get the update, I uploaded today? Some of those nice little "details" that you like..
The screenshot, for some reason will not update...haven't figured it out yet..


Peace,
Lynny

All I get is a white table with no graphics, plastics or apron. They are there in the editor but not when the table loads to play. Tried 9.03, 9.07 & 9.12

I missed the original post, but saw the reply. Yeah, I couldn't say how to fix it exactly, but its definitely a video card/driver issue. What video card, and driver are you using? I've had that issue with Hardware Rendering turned on/off....try switching that..

Peace,
