Hi There,
This is my first release, so go easy on me
 
I ran across this table almost a year ago and fell in love with it, but wanted to give the old vp8 table some love.  I was lucky to find a nice playfield and plastics pic, re-drew both, and think they turned out well!
 
Check the top of the table for options...  When researching I found different combinations of plastics, post colors, etc.  I tried to squeeze as much of that in as I could.  There is also an option for day and night.

Credits and Thanks go to:
 
First off, Big Thanks to Sindbad.  He helped me a lot in making this table functional, along with help on the fading light routines and basic code help.  He also shared his secrets for making the lighting POP!!!  AND he introduced me to his test team!!
 
Thanks to my test team!!  The Loafer, Shadowsclassic, Nemo, Arngrim, dboyrecords, Zany.  With their help we squashed bugs and tweaked the playability.  Without them this table would not have been nearly as fun to play as it is now.  Thanks again for your time and help!!
 
Thanks to Tab and Destruk for the original vp8 table and permission to mod it.  Without their original light/switch mappings this table would have never seen the "light" of day.
 
Thanks to Zany for the primitive pop bumpers!  Now they actually look like bumpers!!
 
Thanks to Arngrim for adding in DOF, and helping with the sound code!!
 
Thanks to all the Table Authors, Table Template Builders, Primitive Builders, etc. that have come before me.  It's AMAZING(!!!!!!!) what you have all done with this program.  I'd give you all credit but I'd never stop typing names.  Thanks!!!

Hope you Enjoy!!!

great updated version. looks super! plays great1

[akiles50000]

Thanks Cyberpez a great work.

Very nice indeed, though too easy really, those flippers are way too long and the gap between means it's an unrealistic easy beat. I've reduced them here thus far to 124 and those primitives to match...

Nice job. Table looks good and plays nice. I don't think its too easy. There are plenty of tables that are really difficult to even get on the high score board. It's fun...most important. Wish you well in your future projects. Merry Christmas

Just saying how it is and not candy coating it.

Congrats on your first table. This one's is a real gem. And also thanks for the creds.

[Shadowsclassic]

Loved being on the test team for your awesome first release cyberpez!

[cyberpez]

Thanks for the kind words everyone!!  It was fun to work on a table and see it come to life.

 

Thanks again to all those who helped along the way.  This table would not have turned out as nice, or at least it would have taken A LOT longer. Ha..  I look forward to working with you again.

 

SteveOz,  Thanks for pointing that out, now that you mention it the flippers are longer than in the pics.  I have others with red rubbers and they are about right at where your settings put them.  I played a few games with your settings. I still had good scores, and was able to hit all shots.  I don't think it made is significantly harder, just not as easy.  I'll keep your settings in mind when I do another update.

I believe it was in it's early testphase that you've changed the flippers due to the right lane's difficulty.

 

But what a first release, good job Cyberpez.

[robertms]

This table is very polished for a first release and loads of fun! Just loaded in the editor to tweak settings and spent an unexpected hour playing it. Great job and thank you!

[Mustang1961]

The table looks and plays wonderful. We love it. One hint and one question:

 

The hint: the table plays significantly better when the start angle of the flipper arms is set to 123°, minus 52° = end angle 71°

 

The question. the game does not take over the dip switch setting of 5 balls per game, other setting take over are not verified, but this we would like to have, what to do?

[Mustang1961]

Here the answer to my question:

 

go to line 147 in the script. Here you switch "on" sw#31 by changing 0*64 -> 1*64. Now the game plays 5- ball.
