File Category: VPX/VPinMAME Recreations

Author(s): mfuegemann,32assassin
Manufacturer: Zaccaria
Year: 1982
Permission to MOD?: Unspecified

this is a strip and rebuild of mfuegemanns VP9 Pinball Champ 82.
 
- plastics where re cut  and rebuilt in PS to add the simulated clear plastic.
- full VPX features added
- upper PF is now a primitive.
- many other upgrades
 
I"m not 100% sure what enables and disables the upper PF flippers.
 
one of the solenoids enables the flippers but i"m not sure what switch kills them.
the code to eneable them is their but I added a generic switch to enable/disable them.

Thank you 32assassin. Two releases in a day. Great.

 

I just love fridays. Then I get the extra playtime to enjoy new releases, with a beer or two.

Two Releases, two Beers ... !

Thanks for the continuous outpouring of table from you Assassin32.  They all look and play great.  VPX is pretty much all I play on the cab anymore.

Pinball champ give a script error....i use last vpx4 version

It would be helpful if you could post script error...

[xenonph]

Simple fix.

 

Change Line 160 from this

 

Sub sw23_Hit:bsRightKicker.AddBall 0 : playsound "popper_ball": End

 

to this..

 

Sub sw23_Hit:bsSaucer.AddBall 0 : playsound "popper_ball": End Sub

 

This will get rid of error when you hit  the lower right kicker.

 

Hope you are doing well my friend.

 

Have a great day Scorpion!!

Looks & plays great thanks but can`t work out how to get the upper playfield flippers working? I know it says this text in the help file:-

the code to eneable them is their but I added a generic switch to enable/disable them.

[STAT]

I don't want to teach you, but do you know, you have to shot here, to get the Ball up to the upper Playfield ?
Then the Flippers above are enabled ...

Hi, a small finding: the sound is missing for the drop targets on the upper playfield.

 

And a Question, when the ball leaves the upper playfield it rolls along these wire rail, would it be possible to import the animiation for that wire rail from Mfuegemann's VP9 table?

OK actually two Questions, the gap between the flippers seem to be small. What do you think, (maybe, and I guess, it is just me) is it how it should be?

Not complaining about anything, just to give feedback because I like that table very much.

[32assassin]

the missing should is a mistake in my part

change line 126 to this

		DropTargetBank.InitSnd SoundFX("DTDrop",DOFContactors),SoundFX("DTReset",DOFContactors)

to increase the gap in the flippers 

select the 2 primitive flippers and reduce the X scale fto 20

 

 

I will upload a table with the changes,  the wire ramp animation requires me to rebuild it since I used other techniques to enable and disable the upper PF flippers.

[Mark70]

Thank you

If you don't mind I have one more question.
Would it be possible to let the entrance to the upper playfield act like a ramp? Like a too weak shot to the entrance-ramp would not make it all the way to the top and roll back?
I guess it would add much realism to the gameplay. At the moment, it semms that the ball just needs contact to the entrance to get up to the upper playfield. Even when the ball comes sideways.

[32assassin]

it can't act like a ramp because balls don't travel up a vertical ramp.

 

their is ways to do this but it requires to much of an effort.

 

download my Gold Wings table.

Kiwi built the loop with about 20-50 ramps.

a similar process needs to be used to build a ramp that turns 180 degrees

 

the best option is to 

go to the VPX beta support page and request that ramps have a built in 180 degree turn option.

 

 

I could add a trigger that enables or disables the kicker  if the ball velocity is under a certain value.

[kiwi]

It should be feasible with two ramps and a wall, now you can change the height of the ramps control points, it is no longer necessary to make the vertical curve with a lot of ramps,

it is also possible with a primitive, I have in the Farfalla the ball goes down from the upper playfield through a primitive.
This afternoon or tomorrow I'll see how you can do it.
