File Name: Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975)

File Submitter: batch

File Submitted: 27 Dec 2017

File Category: VPX Recreations

Author(s): Batch
BorgDog
Hauntfreaks
Manufacturer: Gottlieb
Year: 1975
Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval

1.1 - Updated script for "Reel100K1" to be visible when the score is more than 100.000 points (thanks to STAT for telling me, and to BorgDog for fixing it)
 
        Added bumper rings animation (thanks to BorgDog for telling me and fixing it)
 
1.0 - Here is  the VPX version of Abra Ca Dabra from Gottlieb (1975)

Original playfield is from Popotte and I found plastics images on Pinballrescue

I used a table template from BorgDog as a starting point

BorgDog did script, physics, chimes, animated rubbers behind drop targets, half moon credit wheel and the b2s file

He also did a gameplay options menu, it will open if you press left flipper when not in a game
 


Hauntfreak did lighting, material for metal parts, environment emission image, color grading lookup table, reworked playfield, improved plastics and provided some primitives               

He also sent me a nice backglass image I used to do my backdrop

So, big thanks to them because this table is « AT LEAST » as much theirs than mine

Thanks also to Pinuck for his VP9 version, he made me want to do the VPX version, because, as I’ve no cab, I could’t play his fantastic table

You’ll also find the following XML files in the same folder than the table :

ACDportraitFS -> DT and FS settings from BorgDog

ACDlandscapeFS -> DT and FS settings from Hauntfreaks
 
ACDportraitFSBatch -> my DT settings and FS settings from BorgDog

ACDlandscapeFSBatch -> my DT settings and FS settings from Hauntfreaks

For those who don’t know how to use them yet, just do the following : File -> Import -> Backdrop POV
 
Hope you like it, and Happy New Year everybody on VPForums !

Thank you, away for the holidays right now, but can't wait to get back and try these new tables.  This was one of the first EM tables that I really enjoyed.

I've just found an error, when the score reach above 100.000 points.

Joey / batch, you can Change this to "Reel100K1"

 

There are more "for i ..." Elements in Script, you should check that, otherwise often Variable "i" get number 4 ... and there isn't a 4th 100K Element, of Course.

And replace this i to "1", because it is just a 1 Player Machine.

 

I think, the others are all fine.

[BorgDog]

that line should read as follows:

		EVAL("Reel100K"&player).setvalue(int(score(player)/100000))

must have gotten the &player part accidentally deleted at some point.

Sorry, guys, I didn't see this message, I'll update the table ASAP, but I've a problem, I can't open the scripts anymore

 

I'm sure I read a topic about this but I can't remember which one

 

Can someone tell me ?

[vanlocke]

il y a ce sujet : http://www.vpforums....showtopic=38662

 

et sinon il y a le truc bête qui m'etait arrivé : si on ferme une table alors que le script est minimisé, lorsqu'on ouvre une autre table (n'importe laquelle) et qu'on veut en modifier le script, il reste minimisé, on a l'impression qu'il ne s'ouvre pas. dans ce cas il y a 2 icones Vpx : 1 avec la table et une autre grisée => clic droit sur celle ci et agrandir.

Merci pour ton aide, compatriote !

 

I used Scottacus method and it worked

 

Here is a solution to the problem that worked for me.  In the registry under: 

 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Visual Pinball\VP10\Editor

 

The value for the registry entry "CodeViewPosX" and "CodeViewPosY" were both set to over 400 trillion!  Changing those to zero allowed the script window to reappear

[batch]

666, the number of the beast, please download this table, it can't  proceed no further !

 

No, it's a joke, I love the band Iron Maiden !

[batch]

Someone posted this problem, but as I've no cab, I'm not able to give him any solution

 

Please, can one of you, cab users, try to help him ?

 

I get Error Line: 553

 

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.

 

Parameter name:index

 

Does anyone know how to fix this? I used to get it before on VP9 but got around by using B2s.exe backglass file.

I played this table two days ago and don't have any errors during the whole session. So I think, he doesn't have the newest builds or scripts.

Merci beaucoup for the update - great table!

I got this error using VPX latest beta.
Line 873 (null)
What could it be?

As my line numbers isn't the same as yours Carlos I can't be sure. I tried to look at some line numbers that are close to your mentioned problem and I still could not find anything that would crash the table. But, you can try to download this file : https://raw.githubus...tlieb 1975).vbs

 

If you are running 10.6. Save it is "Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975).vbs" and put in next to the table - exactly the same name. And restart the table. 10.6 will see a table script replacement and pick that one up instead of the one included. It needs to be 100% the same name as the table in order to be replaced. Not like db2s where the 8 first characters is enough.

 

See if that helps you. If not. Re-download the table. As I said. I don't see anything near that line number that should give you such an error.

[batch]

I also run the latest VPX beta (3644) and I have no problem

 

Line 873 is about an animated "dingwall", so I don't understand why it crashes the table

 

Do you also run the last VPinMAME beta ?
