File Name: Fight Night

File Submitter: Chris L.

File Submitted: 22 Nov 2014

File Category: VP 9.x Originals

Author(s): Chris La Mantia (table/scripting/most art)
Leslie Parke (backglass paintings)
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval


Fight Night, by Chris La Mantia. Train your boxer and fight your way through ten opponents to become the Champ!

This is Fight Night, my first VP table. This is the latest version, with the high scores, easter eggs, operator ajustments available by pressing END to open the "coin door".

The objective is to win boxing matches. Before you may enter a boxing match, you must have a Promoter, a Trainer, an Opponent, and sufficient Training.

Hit the drop target between the ramp and the left loop to collect the Trainer and the kicker below the left loop to collect the Promoter. Once the promoter is collected spell F-I-G-H-T via the drop targets to collect an Opponent.

Training may not be collected until you have a Trainer. Once you have a Trainer, training is available via jogging the loops, spinning the spinners (Heavy Bag), or entering the Gym (Speed bag). The Gym is located underneath the Boxing Arena, and may be entered through the front door behind the Jet Bumper, or via the back door hidden behind the Boxing Arena. A minimum Training level of 50% (as shown on the Training bargraph) is necessary to enter a boxing match.

Once the necessary Trainer, Promoter, Opponent, and Training are collected, you may enter a boxing match. Knock on the Arena Door to open it, and shoot through the door to enter the Boxing match. The Arena Door is just to the left of the right loop spinner.

Once you enter a fight, after the introductions, the bell will ring and your opponent will emerge from the far corner; you will emerge from the near corner. Use the Arena flippers to punch your ball into the opponent, sending him to the ropes. The Alphanumeric Display will show your strength and your opponent's strength. Your opponent will move around to avoid your punches and throw punches of his own; later opponents will move faster and absorb more punishment than earlier opponents.

You score punches when you knock your opponent back into his corner. Your opponent scores punches against you when he contacts either of the center two retaining posts, or if your ball drains from the ring. If your ball drains while you have strength remaining, you will be launched back into the ring, and a plunger will briefly protect you from immediately draining again. 

Full scoring details are available in the rulesheet included in the download. I hope you enjoy Fight Night!

Great table. I've the 2.0 (2004) and the 2.1 (2009) version. Have a look to this one.

For people who aren't aware, back when this was originally released this was one of the best originals done with the VP engine, just a fantastic game.

 

Thanks for the update Chris, nice to see you around :)

I don't know anything about full screen, I've been out of action for a few years, I'll need to get back up to speed.

Thank you!  Good to see you!  Hard to believe it's been ten years since this was first released...

 

Unfortunately, disaster struck a couple years back and I lost a hard drive... all of my current development work was backed up, but my VP stuff was archived and although I thought I had a backup of it I wasn't able to locate it.  So all of the original layered art files for Fight Night, plus the updated version of the table skeleton I was working on, and everything related to Worlds Fair Jigsaw were all lost. :(

Ugh... Somehow the line endings for the last sub were lost and the whole sub is on one line, preventing a compile.  I've fixed it and re-submitted the file as 2.2.2, so if you are one of the 13 that have downloaded 2.2.1, either get 2.2.2 or go to the end of the script and hit ENTER where the line endings are supposed to be in that last sub, it should be obvious.

 

Sorry about that, no idea how it happened.

One of the best originals, thanks for the update. 

A FS update would be appreciated. You probably have noticed by now that the most vocal part of the community are playing cabinet / FS versions :) 

If you don't want to do update the table yourself (understandable if you're a desktop player yourself) you could grant permission to update your table. Maybe someone else likes to do it.

I'd actually like to build a cabinet, maybe in 2015... TV's are so cheap now.  So I'll definitely look into what it takes to do a fullscreen version.

 

Fun fact: The whole reason I discovered Visual Pinball is because I was trying to design a pinball table from scratch (a dream since I was a child), and thought it would be better to mock up the layout on a computer before committing it to wood to see if it would be playable.  Unfortunately, I think a lot of the shots in Fight Night are too narrow to make it a real table, but someday I might still try to build a physical version of it.

No backglass for this table since Chris L,'s release? I'm surprised as there are so many good script writers out there that could mod the script to run a backglass. I am not one of those, unfortunately. I could create a passive backglass, but that would be pretty lame. mayvbe a VPX version with backglass? Any takers?

 

Cheers,

Hi Wiesshund,

 

Not at this stage, but I could cobble something up. It's not that hard as their is a surpluss of images on the web. The question is, should it be photo images, or artwork?

 

Cheers,

I was going to make a cabinet version of this years ago, but I never got around to this. Chris gave me this to use many years ago.
