Fantastic redraw of the playfield and lights. Thank you Grizz and JP.

[FDSystems]

Fantastic graphics & lights. Thank you Grizz & JP.

I will have to stick with the "classic" version, as this one stutters too much on my laptops. (onboard Intel, nothing wrong with the table)

[Sabbat]

thanks for the 200th update, i'll go play this on ps3 instead.

[Shooby Doo]

Thanks JP & Grizz, I appreciate the update!

[faralos]

oh hell that's pretty! And I know it'll play much better than the real one
since nothing can burn out during game play!

[mach2]

Thank you very much JP for this update, Very nice!!

JP... you're the best of the best.

10 years ago when we were putting out tables, we never imagined how far you could push the VP envelope.

This is simply amazing work my friend... just like all your other tables.

Keep 'em coming... these are rewritten pinball history.

Nice update of the table. Only thing I'm having problems with - the volume is cranked up but I can't hear the dialog. Any other adjustments beside the - and = keys?

[jpsalas]

Hey Rockin, you need to adjust the ROM volume by pressing the END key after that the 9 key until the volume is at about 27. And after that if you feel the flipper and the mechanical sounds are too loud then you can always use VP volume settings to turn down a little the sounds volume.

The ball gets stuck in the first (from the bottom) "basket" occasionally when you launch the ball.
By nudging with space it is released if it is stuck on the red part, but sometimes it gets stuck on the side (it's half inside the wall) and it stays there, a restart of the table is required.

Yes, several people had that already; jpsalas mentioned this too as a known issue.
It happened to me once as well that the ball couldn't be nudged free and had to quit the table.

I get weird textures on all the lower pf lights and the ramps actually seem to be missing the
area where the ball actually rolls
my alpha ramp setting is set two to the right (from the left side) which is the best setting for my computer
other than that though it plays great!

I guess you are not running with the hardware renderer on. VP can't display the transparency without the hardware renderer on. Without HR you just get those dithered patterns.

Yes, I have tried to fix that several times, and even now the real ramp, where the balls travels up to the platform, is much longer than where it use to get stuck. I have build walls there, added extra ramps, and the ball always manages to get stuck. So I guess that for now we'll live with the bug

[sniperfin]

Ok, no worries, the table is great as usual.

I'm not 100% sure, I changed the "Hit Threshold" of the wall "sw65" to 0 instead of 1 and it seems that the skillshot always works, the ball don't gets stuck in the basket.
Always the best
Thanks JP and Grizz.

Yes, that may be a solution. This way the ball doesn't bounce back, and maybe it is enough so the ball don't go back and gets stuck. I'll try that , thanks!

Thanks JP! The memory isn't what it used to be. Everything works just fine. Keep up the GREAT work.
