This is a modification that I had started last winter and never got around to finishing until now. It is primarily cosmetic. Alpha flashers 
have been added throughout the table. Upgraded plunger and fading lights routine. Scripting change for selecting controller.
I hope everyone enjoys the changes made to the table. I plan on making changes to physics in a future update that would also include
any bug fixes with this version.
 
Turn it up load and turn out the lights!
 
I would like to thank:
JPSalas and Rosve for their great work on the previous versions and allowing the mod.
JPSalas for use of his Fading Lights routine and for flasher images.
Koadic for use of his plunger method and controller selection code.
Aaron James for giving the table a spin and offering suggestions and use of the controller selection code.
All the authors, art guys, and other contributors that make this such an enjoyable hobby.
 
Please feel free to let me know that you think...good, bad, or otherwise. It's my first release so
if I am doing something wrong, I would like to fix it for the future.
 
Note: This modification was built with VP 9.16 rev 652 and also played with the latest beta. 
I am not aware of anything that would prevent this from using 9.15. However, the flashers do use
Additive BI and maybe a bit strong without it. I would recommend 9.16 or better with this, but
feel free to give it a try with 9.15.

Thank you. Very nice---if any game can use lots of flashers, it's a game with fighter jets!

I just wanted to make sure everyone was aware that this is a full screen table for cabinet. I mistakenly clicked on the Desktop Mod category when uploading. Noah is aware of this and will move to the proper category and change the title of the thread.

[LoadedWeapon]

Thanks it looks great! I can't wait to add it to the cab.
I think someone else has a complete remake coming sometime..

[rein1969]

Cool! Is the desktop version also comming?

[chinzman93]

Cool! Is the desktop version also comming?

I wasn't planning on it. But it would make my mistake of uploading to the wrong category less obvious. I will look into it.

[rein1969]

please do, a lot of people can;t wait for the desktop version included myself  ;-)

******* This was built with VP 9.2 Build 756. I just downloaded the newest VP build and the flashers don't work right. Time to start reading the 9.2 Dev thread to look for an answer. I will update when I find it****

There will be an update coming for this table to address a couple of issues (a couple flasher drawing order problems and diverters causing a stuck ball) for users that are running VP 9.2 Build 757 and higher. If you are running an older version you should be fine without the update. There will also be new physics settings in the updated version. I hope to have it up in a the next couple of days.

[chinzman93]

Version 2.1 uploaded.

 

Version 2.1

Modified lighting to no longer use the refresh lights (Big thanks to Koadic for help with this!)

New physics settings.

New flasher lens objects. Thanks to Hassanchop for putting these into the resource section!

Brightened the light on inserts.

Bug fix: The ball collision sounds have been fixed and now work.

This will require 9.2 or better. It plays very nicely in 9.9!

 

This should have been released several months ago. I forgot about it.......
