File Name: Operation Thunder (Gottlieb 1992) Desktop VP9.9

File Submitter: mfuegemann

File Submitted: 16 Feb 2015

File Category: VPinMAME 9.x Recreations

Author(s): mfuegemann
Manufacturer: Gottlieb
Year: 1992
ROM: Link to ROM
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

This is Operation Thunder by Gottlieb, Desktop edition.
 
Akiles provided me again with loads of pictures of the table. I had to redraw the playfield as there were no highres images of a stripped playfield availiable. The image of the photomerged playfield, Wtiger did some time ago gave me valuable hints on the exact playfield layout and the position of hidden objects.
Batch created the Backdrop image for the desktop version, the Guru provided the manual pages with the solenoid, switch and lamp numbers and the VP8 table by zaphod, destruk and scapino shed light on some details, especially the way they created the Vari-Target was very useful.
Additional Thanks go to Fuzzel for providing the lightmap images for the inserts, Kodiac for the flipper primitive routine and to JPSalas for the fading flasher code.
 
Configurable options at the top of the script are
- GI brightness
- Flasher light level
- FreePlay (faked)
- The use of the backbox GI solenoid to control the playfield GI for additional light effects 
 
If You have any problems with the pin registering inserted coins, please download and install the Gottlieb nvram files.
Have fun and please use the support topic to post any findings and suggestions.

Hi Marius,

 

I have no scan of the playfield but You can have my latest image. It is a Paintshop Pro file, so You can hide some of the layers if necessary. As the file size is too big, I send You a PM.
