Great table hauntfreaks!  This is a great looking table with some great extras that make it worth adding to any collection.

This looks SO COOL!  I keep getting bass.dll error messages.  "Bass music/sound library cannot load _____"  Other games seem to use the bass.dll fine, and the music files are in the music directory (in fact, they have been played after I hit the OK button).  Any ideas?  

 

EDIT:  I also start off with "Bass music/sound library initialization error 23"

make sure you have the newest Bass.dll in where your vpinballx.exe is

adding music to VPX was a huge headache , its working fine in my setup, but that doesn't mean its going to work in everyone's, and i'm not code savvy enough to really make it work how it should, I tried using JP's music code, I just couldn't get it to work at all.... worst case scenario , people might have to comment out the music code...

I get an error with this table, bMusicOn undefined.

 

Strange as I can get the table to work by adding a Dim bMusicOn in the script, just wondering why others have not said anything.

 you and me both... seems with this music stuff, everyone has a different experience.... its working for me, but i kinda knew this would be a bear.... 

I'm glad to hear you found a solution to get it to work....

V1.1 update

- Music script adjusted by rothbauerw

music loads on first ball 

[Drybonz]

I love the music selection... fits great with the theme.  I have been trying to reduce the volume of the bumpers, etc... so that the music is more prominent, but can't seem to get the sound effects volume to change at all.

[hauntfreaks]

if you dont want the roms sounds.... add this line under line 48

 

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound")=0

[DKong]

Haunt,

Great work on this table.  It looks and plays really well.  Unfortunately, I am one of those who can't get the music to play like laylow did.  

 

I have the music files in my VP music folder and have tried both your v1.0 and v1.1.  I get error messages in v1.0 and v1.1 plays great with table sounds, I just can't get the music to play.  I have also tried different versions of the bass.dll in my vpinmame folder, with no luck either.

 

Is there a trick to this?  I'd love to get the music playing!

 

Thanks.

[hauntfreaks]

this might sound like a defeatist attitude.... but i think its going to work for some and not for others.... maybe someone with the right skills will chime in...

 

sorry man

[Fulltilt]

Wow! Finally got some time to get this installed on the cab. Nice eyeball ball .. and the bumper caps, awesome  

This is so cool, thank you very much.

This is so cool, thank you very much.

 

Those bumper caps would look c00L on a fantasy VPX recreation of Cyclopes...

[Fulltilt]

Awesome! Those pop bumpers would be a perfect fit in the Cyclopes table

 

Looks like a pretty rare machine according to the video description ..is that true only 400 machines were made by Game Plan in 1985?

What a cool theme. I remember as a kid building those plastic Rat Fink models. I recall that there were different Rat Fink themed cars and trucks as well as Rat Fink himself. This was probably 50 years ago. Can't remember what I did yesterday though.
My music played just fine....lucky me.

Thanks very much for this very fun table!
