Permission to MOD?: No

High Res. and Ball Momentum Physics Routine (BMPR) MOD:

- High Resoltuion textures (from original but defunct link with original table posting - had them saved)
- Added B.M.P.R. routine, tuned all table physics / rubbers, and matched / compared extensively with PAPA.org video for various components
- Added B2B collision script / sounds
- Added Enhanced Rolling Sounds
- Added variable volume / strength based sounds for rubbers, flippers, and other table objects
- Variable flipper strength / tap routine added and enhanced (10 levels of strength) with also new drop catch assistance / momentary recoil adjustments
- New Flipper dampening routine to allow for better straight up table shots
- New bumper halos and base animations for GI
- New Flasher halos
- New side reflections (GI and flasher enabled)
- New ball shader routine for realtime ball image altering when GI is off
- Enhanced / optimzed alpha plunger routine
- Modified Noah's Ball image for choice of transparent or regular ball images
- Huge thanks to Noah for giving me permission to post this B.M.P.R. MOD as well as for updating and forwarding me a nice WS backdrop .psd

Notes:
1) Table looks absolutely amazing with AA and anisotropic filtering enabled (screen capture was taken with it on)
2) For WS settings set X-scale to .85 for 16:9 and .95 for 16:10
3) If changing the ball image make sure you also add a darker ball image with the same name but append the word "dark" at the end (or disable the BallShaded function calls in the GI section)
4) To compare with PAPA.org video (best for assessing physics and overall game play) set the view as 3,30,30,360,1(.75 fof WS),1,0,0)
5) Flipper catch extra coding included but is harder to execute / time on a slower moving table (see general post on the the additions to the flipper routine here: http://www.vpforums....wtopic=21431=)

Just played this "masterpiece" again for a few games. WOW really is such a close representation of a real table. Great job, thanks again.

Sorry I thought I was in the FS version, I'm sure this version plays equally as well.

Thanks man, It's good to know that the time spent on the BMPR, flipper, and dampening routines, as well as various areas of study and adjustments for the smallest details in game play, is being confirmed by people such as yourself with compliments and comparisons to a real table.
