This plays super nice this release. Really great work to all involved.

 

One thing I've noticed since the beta of this and the same is true for me with this version.

 

During a jackpot (and only during the light show that happens with a jackpot), I get big green patches on the playfield

as if a flasher without an image is being triggered and showing the default green background color.

 

Does anyone else see this happening?

[BlackPredator72]

Really nice table....looks and plays perfectly !!! Thnx !

[RipleYYY]

as FT, its top notch !

 

may be why not asking this than : we have some "old" FS table (already very nice, dont missunderstood me) that need an update, as they are angle dependant, and we cant change anything about the player view (and the bad angle it goes, the flippers the better example), as FATHOM...

 

just an idea in case of...

Ok I fixed the weird problem I was having. It seemed to be caused by the GI string which would assign images to ramps based on the GI step in the rom.

 

I made a personal mod replacing the GI string with alpha flashers and at the same time replaced the alpha ramp flashers with the new "flasher" object in VP.

 

I really over saturated the slingshot flashers but I love the result. They really pop now and look closer to a real machine. 

 

In fact I love it so much I think I'm going to have to go through all my tables and mod them

 

Thanks again Guys, this table is super well tuned and great fun to play.

Dozer316 .... man this looks sweet!
Is this easy to implement? Is it something you are willing to share the code on?
Keep looking at that Video ... I really like that effect great work

Thank you melon!

[Dozer316]

Dozer what was your problem that you were having?

 

During the jackpot light show, I'd get big green patches rendering on the playfield while the GI and flashers were going crazy.   It would only happen during a jackpot but it kinda snapped you out of the immersion momentarily so I had to fix it .  I noticed when I removed the original GI code it stopped doing it.

If you look in JP's latest AFM beta, you will find his excellent flasher code as he has used the new flasher object on that table instead of alpha ramps.  I just adapted it for this table and replaced the alpha ramps with flasher objects.  It's not hard to do but a little time consuming.  The flasher objects transition from on to off really smoothly and give the impression of a real flash lamp (IMHO).    When you overlay a couple of them you can over saturate the effect and I think the result is quite good.

In that video above I've also included some glass textures over the whole table that you'll see flash when the flash lamps go off.  I do this because I have a flush mounted monitor in my cab and it helps create an effect of depth.

set your ball trails to 200 and watch how damn cool it looks when you go into the super charger

[teppotee]

Dozer: Those flashers look sweeeet! Maybe you could share the images that you used and the code? Would love to try those as well.

 

And special thanks to Melon. Brilliant release and an already fun table just got even better!
