File Name: Masters of the Universe Mastered Edition

File Submitter: GeorgeH

File Submitted: 07 Mar 2018

File Category: Future Pinball

Author(s): Rom, Hyperion, TerryRed, GeorgeH, Gimli
Manufacturer: Original
Year: 2012
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

I have to thank TerryRed for adding video to this table and for creating a desktop version.  I played this table quite a bit several years ago after I downloaded it the first time but I stopped playing in favor of other tables.  Terry's version rekindled my interest and the videos definitely increase the fun factor.  I never intended to modify this table but after Terry posted his version, the guys started posting problems with it on the GoPinball forum.  Gimli fixed a bug in the script.  I started making changes and we ended up addressing all the problems that were posted.  So here it is, a version with all the fixes! 
 
This table is designed for desktop use but it can be installed on a pinball cabinet although it does not have support for DOFLinx.  
 
I don't know to what extent anyone is interested, but I created a version of this table for a PC monitor that is rotated 90 degrees so it is in a portrait orientation.  The screenshot of the table is oriented this way.  I prefer to play my favorite tables like this.  The download includes set up instructions.  I posted this version as a separate download.  If you are not interested in this, please ignore the download named "Masters of the Universe 2, Files for Rotated Display.zip".  Note that this version will not work on a pinball cabinet.  
 
I added a code to the script that extends the high score overflow limit from about 2 billion points to about 922 trillion which requires BAM version v1.4-183 or higher.  If you are using an older version of BAM, the table will play but the high score overflow limit will be about 2 billion.  
 
List of changes:
 
When you press the start key without adding coins first, Skeletor now says "You royal boob!"
Enlarged the playback area on the screen on the playfield above the launch lane. 
Added custom physics.
Fixed 9 ball multiball where the ball would often get lost which prematurely ends the game play
Added a user adjustable "Sound Level Control Panel" to the beginning of the script.
Gimli fixed the script so you don't have to type in your initials even if you don't have a high score. 
Reduced font size for the number of balls, player and credits on the DMD.
The HUD Toggle Key works now.
Added a way for the end user to change the default so the HUD is turned off when the game starts.    
Added a new loading screen.
Fixed several stuck ball issues. 
Added high resolution version of the playfield and plastics that I found on an old version of the table.
Changed the translite to reduce size of the file by 10 MB with no change in appearance.
Extended coverage of an invisible surface that is intended to keep balls on the table.
 
I hope you enjoy this version!

Hi, i download this and when i try it on FP 1.9.1 i can't finish loading the file. i got several "There was a problem loading that file" and then it crashes the C++ library. The zipped file is ok, i test it with 7zip. Any Help? I searched the forum unsuccessfully.

The table is very memory intensive.  TerryRed's videos require lots of memory.  The latest version of BAM fixes a memory leak which may help.  I recommend installing FP and BAM at the same time with this installer:

You can update your installation with it also.  Follow my guide here:

If you have no luck, try this version that does not have the video:
