I first would like to thank dboyrecords for allowing mods without permission. I would also like to thank him for making a great table!! I also would like to thank everyone who contributed to this table including, Hmueck,Eala Dubh Sidhe, and Destruk!!
They put in alot of time and work on the original table, and it is appreciated!! So if you like this mod, I would encourage you to thank the original author of the table, as I have only made a few changes!
Original Table...

Version 1.1
Made alot of changes as this was one of my first tables that I worked on over 2 years ago!!
I know alot more, so I was able to fix alot of stuff I couldn't back then.
I moved some of the plastics so I could line up the targets, and moved 3rd flipper to where it is supposed to be.
(Plastics still should be moved even more and reshaped even, but this table was done with some double line stuff that is hard to edit without messing up the whole table. So I did the best I could to make it look better.)
I added Hmuecks playfield from his VPX table for the Playfield lights off pic. (Lettering was great on his version.) Thanks Hmueck for allowing mods without permission!!
Now you can see all the lights when lit. (Funny I never noticed this, because I never knew the lights flashed!! I used dboyrecords version and you will not see his lights flash either.)
Changed plunger cover pic and lined the plunger up correctly.
Tucked the ball release gate under the apron and also tucked under the double lined wall that made weird shape at corner of apron.
Added wood pic to sidewalls and the inside plunger lane wall.
Moved the middle post up so it can be seen by player.
Removed decal of gate cover, and added metal pic to what was underneath.
I made the left gate more elastic so ball bounces off it better instead of dying and always going down rollover 1.
I added wire rollovers.
I added 2 kicker pics that Mustang1961 had me add to the VP9 table Millionaire a long time ago.
I actually only came back to this table because Mustang1961 asked a question about it in support topic.
Thank you Mustang1961!!!
This upgrade is for you!!
I may revisit all of these early tables I worked on, as I have learned so much more since then!!

All pics, trademarks, Logos and sounds belong to their respectful owners. This table is for personal home, and non-commercial use only. This table should be used for educational purposes only..

Hope you enjoy!!

Hi xenonph,

 

thank you for spending so much efforts for this upgrade. We like to play it again and again. One question, we cannot see if the the slot machine's results indicators are lit or not. With which measure could I change that ?

 

ever with best regards, Christian.

I am not sure. All I did was modify the apron on this table. (I was just learning back then. Wow I have learned so much more since I posted this a little over a year ago!!)

If I understand you correctly, you want to brighten up a light indicator?

The only way to do this on VP9 table would be to export the Playfield Lights On image ("Agents 777 lights on") from the Image Manager, and use a photo editor to brighten your certain light. as seen in pic.

 

 

Or you can import this "lights on" pic into the B2S Designer and brighten the certain light with it, then export illuminated backglass pic from B2S designer.

(A cool trick I learned from Itchigo!!! This how I made those night mod tables!!)

After modifying pic, import it back into the image manager.

 

Or you could download the magnificent VPX version of this table made by hmueck found here...

Hi xenonph,

 

thank you for your reply and advise. I will tune the 9er version, can't get the VPX table to run (no bumpercaps shown, no B2S loading). But the tune helps, my trials with the walls and lights and two more darker and two more brighter *pngs resulted good and will bring the help needed.

 

all my best regards, Christian.

I am so sorry Mustang1961!!

I never knew those lights were supposed to flash, as dboyrecords table doesn't have them flashing and that is the table I used to make this mod.

This is also one of the first tables I ever worked on!!

I have fixed what I could.

The table has been updated to version 1.1

 

Here is what I did...
