WHIRLWIND for VP9.2+

by ICPjuggla, Cosmic80 and Herweh
Playfield by ClarkKent

Very, very special thanks to Blackmoor for providing us awesome scans and images of his pin, for play-testing a lot to get the gameplay feeling as accurate as possible and to always be there to answer all our questions.

This is a 'from scratch' rebuild.

Check out the options in the table script. You are able to select the plunger lane direction, the apron's cards color, an option to rotate the Williams logo on the apron like Whirlwind's fan and an option to select a fan or storm sound when the fan is on.

Thanks for and to:
- Fading lamps code, flasher images and a lot inspiration from JPSalas
- Bumper's meshes and a lot inspiration from UncleWilly
- Some sound files, flipper tap and saucer code from JimmyFingers
- Alpha Ramp Plunger code by Koadic
- Ball rolling code by JimmyFingers and/or Rascal
- B2B Collision code by Steely & Pinball Ken and Koadic
- Two sounds files from the older Whirlwind build (thanks Noah for allowing us to use them and thanks to UncleReamus)
- Play testing by Blackmoor, Lobotomy and Pipshag.

Hopefully we haven't forgotten anybody.

The table features 'Customizable Options' at the top of the table script. You may select VPinMAME, UVP or B2S, DMD rotation, GI and/or Flashers on/off, Cabinet Sounds or Ball Size. There are some more settings to affect the gameplay.

Have a lot fun.

No comments yet? Awesome table..good physics and a great lightshow!

One question: can we zoom in the table a bit? the table is a bit far away and it would be better to delete the lowest part of the table (with instruction cards etc..for a better playfield view

Your turn! :-)

Click on "Backdrop" on the left and change the backdrop's format settings on the right. Here is a rough sample to give you an idea:

thank you..this is much better although the funny rotating W is missing now but that's ok ;-)

Table is updated to 1.0.1. Same as at the FS build we fixed a few issues and added two optional sound files for the fan. The two sound files go into the 'Visual Pinball\Music' folder and can be activated at the script options. Please check the change log at the table's download area.
