Viking. This table is cool. I think I had the plastic scans somewhere for this. I was going to make it for FP a long time ago,

Thanks, theGhost787! If you ever dig up the scans shoot me a PM. Would love to add them to this table.

This is cool- I've never came across this table before. Thanks!

I like how it's like the designers stole elements from Centaur, Mata Hari, and Fathom to name a few, to make this layout.

Right? The whole bottom playfield feels right out of Centaur.

 

It's a rare and difficult machine but it sure isn't groundbreaking.

I was thinking that, as well. the artwork also reminds me a lot of lost world.

Great Table, thanks for sharing

That is an problem with the old scripts.

 

Step 1: Download the latest VPX beta from this link:

http://www.vpforums....e=1#entry350690

Step 1a:  right click the .zip file, choose properties, check the unblock option and click OK (only if necessary)

Step 2: Copy all the files from the VP beta download into your local VP installation folder and replace the existing files

Step 3: Copy the files from the VP beta script download folder into your local VP script installation folder and replace the existing files

Step 4: Delete all *.vbs files from the Tables folder

Big thanks for this table, Bord

 

Glad to see guys like you doing all these "less known" tables

[theGhost787]

I like to see the "less known" tables too. The rare Playmatic ones too. I wonder if anyone will ever do an ORBIT 1. Very strange table there.

 

Nice goin Bord.

Thanks! I'm trying to do a series of tables from the late 70s - early 80s that aren't very common. Finding good resources for the build are a constant problem. One more Bally and then on to Sterns from that era.

Nice table. Thanks for it. Only one thing: The ball was never saved through the right outlane.

The left outlane works.

[paulstevens]

Great.  Thank you!

 

Is there a WIP (or completed) B2S backglass file for this table?

 

I found the UVP version but have not tried the UVP server yet.  I just got VPX 10.2 beta up and running this weekend and am slowly coming up to speed.

 

Thanks!

[bord]

DirectB2S is in the table .zip file.

 "stole" is not the correct word seeing that Mata Hari, Centaur and Viking were all designed by Jim Patla

Thanks for this great release!

 

In the F6 menu; the ball options is missing; how can we enable 5 or 6 balls? Thx in advance !

If the dip switch menu does not show the number of balls per game, copy and paste this text to the end of the script:

Any idea why the ball rolling sounds do not function with this table? No amount of adjusting Csng settings will bring up the sound?

[bord]

No problem when I play. New version will be up at vpinball in a few weeks.
