Awesome! Thx BD

[randr]

Thanks!!!

just FYI i had to remove "space" between Blue and Chip for backglass to load.

[bodydump]

Thanks for letting me know, randr.  It should be fixed now.

Damn, you guys sure are getting the hang of GI, awesome effects nowadays!

Glad to see this was finally released. This will be a great 2014 for vp. More high quality tables coming in the future.

Ps I love the backglass.

Awesome Bodydump Thanks.

[BobAlbright]

Love it. Nice old table. Just wish it saved high scores

[bodydump]

It does save the high score...just doesn't do anything with it   I'm not a fan of changing backglasses from original or sticky notes, etc. so I don't do any off that.

Really great looking table. From the pics I thought this type of backglass art looked pretty bad but this BG really pops!

Very fun table too, great ball control even a hack like me can get over 300,000 the very first game.  Interesting bell sounds as well actually sounds industrial like hammer on steel.

I wasn't expecting much of this table as the talk about the original designer lead me to believe his tables were somewhat boring and not very visually pleasing, I'm happy to say that was defiantly the wrong impression.   This one goes straight into my favorites list on the EM tables!

 

Great job Bodydump, thank you thank you!

 

P.s. I share your opinions on keeping the tables looking stock without high scores covering the art.  However, I do like the post it's that Pinuck does on his tables. gives you a goal and looks like something you see in the arcade on tables like this.   I think Post its on the apron or corner of BG would be fine especially if the use could have the option on which one or neither selectable in the script or new F6 menu.

Awesome table. I rotated and resized to play it in my desktop (only one monitor). The table works fine and the b2s backglass loads but it stays in the desktop below the table and it's not shown in the screen.  I have toI press the windows button and click on the backglass tab in the task bar to bring it, up, but when I click on the table to start plaingy, the backglass goes back to the background.  I don't know what might be causing this issue.

Having lots of fun learning this new table! I kept getting an error in v. 1.1, when I hit the 50,000 point scoop in the top right. Line 1064: "object doesn't support this property or method: 'TimerEnabled'". I took the word "Timer" out of the code and it looks like it works great now.

 

Thanks!

Thanks stevebev.  I thought I fixed that error in ver 1.1, but I don't think I uploaded the correct version.  Anyway, I've uploaded ver 1.2 which fixes that error and a graphical error on the left bumper.

[BobAlbright]

Thank you for adding in the high score post-it. This table will now get a lot more play!

[Shadowsclassic]

Nice update BD, thanks very much!  The high score tape works really well. It's not really blocking any art and it's not all that hard to remove if the user doesn't want it.

 

Unfortunately, mine just mocks me telling me I'm that bad a player!  I Need a feature where each time you put in a coin this runs "HS = HS - 1000" That way eventually I would be able to get on the board!

Lol, just kidding, sort of.
