File Name: Magic (Stern 1979) FS VP9.9

File Submitter: mfuegemann

File Submitted: 23 Sep 2014

File Category: VP 9.x Cabinet Tables (FULL SCREEN)

Author(s): mfuegemann
Manufacturer: Stern
Year: 1979

Media Pack: Link to Media Pack
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

This is Magic by Stern, Full Screen edition. 
 
I did a new playfield redraw based on photos provided by Noah. As there was no proper documentation availiable, I had to fiddle out all the lamp numbers manually. I did watch gameplay videos and repeated the switch sequences until the lit lights matched the real table. Destruk's lights.vpt table was a great help there.
Again I added the DIP switch code provided by Inkochnito. You can access it via the standard F6 key.
 
Have fun and please use the support topic to post any findings and suggestions.

Thanks! Great table

Very nice, this is one of many tables that I wanted on my cab, but the graphics just didn't make the cut.  Really glad to see it get a facelift and a spot on my cab!

 

Thank you again mfuegemann!

Hi Michael,

 

I like this new version of the table very much, but there are some points I want to add

• This table is very hard to master and the ball drains after a short time ( probably I'm such a lousy player )
• the look of the fullscreen version is a bit flat, especially the flipper and bumpers. Are there some tweaks to change this with little effort (inclination or layback settings) ?

But overall.... keep up the good work

Hi Martin,

 

You may change the position of the outlane saver posts. Maybe I replace them with primitives and add "regular,save,insane" settings to the start of the script.

Whoow, quite impressive,

 

theses settings do the trick.

Now the table looks much more 3D

 

Thanks very much for the advice

Thanks OP.

Thanks a lot for the table mfuegeman, I really love the EM from this era.

Very nice table, thanks for the great work and for the update. Excellent job!

 

I still found the ball too quick and bouncy (based on videos I watched), so I doubled the contact friction and this tamed it a little although the flippers still seem to be a bit too strong

Will have to play around with some settings, but I enjoy playing it as is.

 

The graphics are very crisp and bright... perhaps even a little too bright. I'm not a fan of night mods but this one may benefit from a slight darkening.

 

Again, thanks for the table, Michael.

Thanks for this fun table looks great too.  I am having a sound issue, when I pull back the plunger I have no sound nor any ball rolling sound, is this normal for this table?  it's quiet as a mouse.  Anyone else having that issue? 

[mfuegemann]

Hi Koolywiz,

 

maybe if I add some sound, You may be able to hear it. At the moment there is no sound implemented. As I did the same for Krull yesterday, it is no problem at all.

 

Edit: I think, adding ball rolling sound is a good idea too. 

 

Regards

Michael

Thanks Michael, sorry I didn't realize that it wasn't implemented, I thought it was something with my setup.  Thanks for making it!

[mfuegemann]

No problem, I am almost done.

[gigalula]

Yep the ball sound will give this table a big + good to know that you are working on it Michael ... Thanks for all your good work to keep the old  tables alive
