Bally's 1980 classic Frontier. We have one locally and it is a lot of fun. I tried to match the physics to how the actual table plays.
 
Built with 10.2.
 
Special thanks to hauntfreaks for lighting/primitive hole adjustments on v1.0.
 
Dark provided a custom gate bracket for this table.
 
Thanks to gtxjoe, dark, cyberpez, kiwi, sliderpoint, 32assassin, hauntfreaks and others who have been incredibly helpful on the forums as I've learned to build tables.

If you're not using B2S change hidden from "=1" to "=0" in the script.

bord,
I didn't even realize until now that you made this Frontier table. Your tables (especially Paragon and Frontier in particular) are some of my favorites. Your layout, settings and design are the way I like my tables. I hope you make a lot more. Thanks for producing these works. I personally appreciate it.

I can't seem to get the ball rolling sound to work on this table. I've replaced the script and ball sounds and still can't get it to work. Any ideas?

is it the new VPX-Versions that make nonsense ball movings and partly strange physics now?

No. As fas as I know there has been no changes in the physics in VPX8. Check that you have not connected any analog device that it is not calibrated in VPX.


These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

VPX8 does save a table ini file per table, so maybe you accidently messed with settings just on this table? This would be good reason none of your other tables are effected.

Try deleting the ini file created for this specific table, The ini file will have the same name as table, and it will be located in the same folder as the table.
