The options menu is now available by holding down the left flipper key for about 2 seconds when a game is not in progress. Once opened, left flipper moves between the different menu items and the right flipper goes through that item's available choices.
This table uses Arngrim's new methodology for DOF/B2S configurations. Be sure to copy the controller.vbs file to your table folder if you don't already have one there.
First run of any table that uses this setup will ask you about DOF and what you have. After that, you are all set.
The backglass is a separate download, so be sure to grab that too

Thanks LM, nice table always happy to see more EM's available.

I'm a little embarrassed to ask this but,  can I lower the high score to something more attainable by me and my friends?  Yes I know we suck at pinball. Lol.

Thanks Loserman76.

Easy way to "adjust" the high score - in the user folder of VP, there is a file named "FlipACard_70.txt" - open that file in notepad and change the first line to a score that you feel is a more achievable high score .

Can't seem to get the B2s to load on this one.

The script on this table is different from what I am used to seeing.

Am I missing something here?

[loserman76]

For this table, I decided to try using a new method for enabling/disabling the dB2S backglass. By default the backglass is disabled. The easy way to enable it is this method:
1.Launch table and then exit. It will auto-create a file in the USER folder of VPinball named "LMEMTables.txt" (for me this file is located in c:\program files (x86)\visual pinball\user as I run a 64bit Windows OS)
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" and save.
3.Next time you launch, the backglass will launch.

 

 

Or for the die hards out there, create a text file in the USER folder named LMEMTables.txt and put a "1" (no quotes) on the first line and save it.

in the script you can also change line 1596 to true

I'm far from knowledgeable but is it hard to add f6 options to these tables?

[Slydog43]

something not quite right witht he new way of launching a b2s.  I have the txt file under user directory and it contains a 1, but after I launch the table it changes back to 0, strange.  If I rem the lines around line #1596 it works fine. (of course, just like old way).  Great table though, many thanks

loserman76 tell me if you want better plastics. I did a quick redraw/vectorization of one plastic to see if you like it.

Weird, for some reason the #3 target image was missing on my table so I copied the #8 target (same orientation) renamed it and put it where the #3 target should be.
