ContributorTHE PURPOSE OF THIS POST, IS TO TRY AND HELP THE PEOPLE WHO ONLY PLAY DESKTOP TABLES, AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY OUT THE FS TABLES, BUT DON'T HAVE A CABINET AND DON'T WANT TO TURN THERE MONITOR ON ITS SIDE OR GET A CROOKED NECK.
THIS IS JUST A QUICK AND BASIC CONVERSION
FOR BEGINNERS (I AM A BEGINNER),
WHO NEVER KNEW ABOUT THESE SETTINGS OR HOW TO USE THEM OR WHERE TO FIND THEM.
THIS JUST TURNS THE TABLE VERTICAL, AND MAKES IT SMALLER WITH SAME OVERHEAD VIEW AS FS
THIS TECHNIQUE IS PERFECT FOR THE 150 SPANNED 16:9 FS TABLES,
AND IS A GOOD STARTING POINT FOR BEGINNERS TO CONVERT OTHER FS TO DT TABLES.
IF YOU WANT...
"MORE ACCURATE" DETAILED INFORMATION ON CONVERTING FS TO DT,(ADVANCED)
AND WANT TO MAKE THE TABLE AS BIG AS POSSIBLE,
CHECK STEVOZ' TOPIC "What's your Desktop POV?" FOUND BELOW OR HERE..
http://www.vpforums....topic=29900&hl=
BUT IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE TO FIND THESE SETTINGS, YOU SHOULD CONTINUE READING THIS (BEGINNER) "LESS ACCURATE" FS TO DT CONVERSION TOPIC, AS IT TELLS YOU WHERE TO FIND THESE SETTINGS.
OR YOU COULD JUST USE THE SETTINGS FROM A DESKTOP TABLE THAT YOU LIKE,
AND COPY THEM INTO FS TABLES SETTINGS.
(THIS IS FOR YOUR OWN PERSONAL USE ONLY, AND IS ONLY INTENDED TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO CHECK OUT THE FULL SCREEN TABLES THAT HAVEN'T BEEN CONVERTED YET FOR DESKTOP USE. THIS IS NOT AN AUTHORIZATION TO MODIFY ANY AUTHORS TABLES, AS YOU WILL NEED THE AUTHORS PERMISSION TO MOD A TABLE, AND UPLOAD IT FOR OTHERS TO USE. I REPEAT....THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY.)
TO START YOU NEED TO HAVE EVERYTHING SETUP TO WHERE YOU CAN PLAY REGULAR DESKTOP TABLES.
DOWNLOAD ANY FULL SCREEN TABLE IN THE CABINET DOWNLOADS SECTION.
LOAD THE TABLE INTO VISUAL PINBALL EDITOR.
CLICK THE BACKDROP BUTTON ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF VISUAL PINBALL EDITOR.
ALSO CLICK THE OPTIONS BUTTON DIRECTLY ABOVE THE BACKDROP BUTTON.
AFTER THESE 2 BUTTONS ARE PRESSED DOWN,
ON RIGHT-SIDE OF EDITOR, CLICK COLORS & FORMATTING.
CHANGE TO THESE NUMBERS
CHANGE XY ROTATION TO 0 THIS NUMBER WILL BE 270 CHANGE TO 0
CHANGE X SCALE TO 1
CHANGE Y SCALE TO 1
CHANGE Z SCALE TO 1
CHANGE X OFFSET TO 0
CHANGE Y OFFSET TO 0
CHANGE Z OFFSET TO 0
AFTER THESE NUMBERS ARE CHANGED, CLICK PLAY TO PLAY TABLE.
WHEN EXITING TABLE IT SHOULD ASK YOU IF YOU WANT TO SAVE...CLICK YES
YOU NOW HAVE A DESKTOP VERSION OF FS TABLE.
EACH TABLE IS DIFFERENT AND HAS DIFFERENT NUMBERS. THE NUMBERS ABOVE SHOULD WORK FOR EACH AND EVERY FS TABLE
THE 150 SPANNED FS 16:9 TABLES WILL NOT NEED ANY OTHER SETTINGS EDITED BUT ALL THE TABLES THAT HAVE A DMD THAT ARENT BUILT INTO BACKGLASS WILL NEED TO HAVE THE SCRIPT CHANGED TO ROTATE THE DMD.
IF THE DMD IS TOO LARGE, RIGHT-CLICK ON IT AND CLICK RESTORE WINDOW SIZE.
YOU CAN FIND OUT HOW TO ROTATE DMD
IN THIS TOPIC HERE http://www.vpforums....als&article=136
THE OTHER FS TABLES..
YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE IS NO BACKGLASS BACKDROP AND THE BACKGROUND WILL BE A PLAIN BLACK SCREEN. ITS NOT PERFECT BUT YOU AT LEAST GET TO CHECK OUT TABLE.
AND IF YOU WANTED TO ADD WORKING BACKGLASS,
PERFECT TIME TO GO CHECK OUT TUTORIAL ON USING THE DB2S BACKGLASS PROGRAM FOR 1 MONITOR DESKTOP TABLE USERS.
AND IF YOU CHECK OUT JPSALAS' WHITE WATER SMURF MOD. YOU CAN FIGURE OUT HOW TO ADD YOUR OWN BACKDROP.
(I REPEAT, THIS IS FOR PERSONAL USE ONLY!)
HOPE THIS HELPS PEOPLE WHO NEVER PLAYED THE FS TABLES, HAVE A CHANCE TO CHECK THEM OUT.
