To start, I know everyone is upset that I released yet another VP9 table, BUT, before everyone gets on me for this I have my reasons.  First, Earthshaker has yet to be released for VPX.  Second, this is a mod of TWO tables and some additions from myself.  Third, this is a conversion (of sorts) from Future Pinball to VP.  Finally, this originally started out as a project to kill time with.  I had no intentions of finishing this, or even releasing it, but I just kept adding more, and some people on Facebook really wanted me to finish it so I did.  With that being said lets get into the table itself. 
 
So the table was originally a Future Pinball table from creator Watacaractr in 2017.  I recently got in touch with him and asked if he every got around to converting the table or had plans.  He wrote back he wasn't going to, and he wasn't sure how to go about converting the table and told me to go for it.  I however; also have no idea what i'm doing, or how to convert a table, so I started messing around, and came across LoadedWeapons Earthshaker table, and started matching up the playfield.  From there I realized I wanted to add music to the game, so I then switched to Hauntfreak's, Metallica Earthshaker mod, because it had a music script built in.  

Once i got the play-field lined up, I just kept going from there.  I know this isn't a masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination, and I had to use the little tricks I know to make some adjustments (the bobble head eddie) and some things I just couldn't bring over, and had to resort to my own creativity.  And now, here I am, ready to bring an Iron Maiden table to VP, granted it's not the one everyone is waiting for, but I hope you enjoy it. 

Iron Maiden is easily my favorite band, and I have been wanting to make some sort of tribute table for a while now,  so here we go.  For the soundtrack, I couldn't pick out a few songs, because I love so much, and my favorite songs may not match up with everyone else, and I didn't want to just pick the "classic" iron maiden songs, so what I came up with was a journey through every album.  Ten tracks.  Inside the ten tracks, are eight 30 second clips from different albums.  So you will be jamming out to 80 different Iron Maiden songs, not including the attract sound track, which is 10 second clips from each album.  

Included is the backglass (a mod off of the Metallica backglass) and the music folder.  Sorry, I don't have a wheel for the table just yet.  The rom used is the Metallica Earthshaker Rom, so you will be sharing roms.  I wanted to try and customize the ROM to say Iron Maiden instead of Metallica, but I couldn't figure it out.  I did my best to add some sound effects around the table, because before there were any, it just felt, "empty".  

I'm going to change some of the sound effects at a later time, I just used what I had at the moment,  and there are a few graphical changes I want to make as well.  So here it is, my Iron Maiden: "The Pin Factor" table.

Pour ceux qui n'ont pas de grosse configuration PC, c'est bien de pouvoir découvrir de belles tables sous VP9 

Merci beaucoup !

I think the table is very good, you should not apologize in any way, because at least it is contributing to the community and it shows the great effort, I congratulate you, the table is played very well, thanks for sharing it with all of us! ​

Maybe someone can help me out. Why does the motor sound effect repeat itself during the entire animation? I want to add a new sound effect but when I do, it sounds awful because of the not stop repeating. I cant figure out what to edit to make it play once.

What version of VP9 should be used for this?  I got it to open in one (physics mod?) and the ball got stuck, didn't quite reach the plunger, and the flippers move super-slow.  Tried 995 and it gave me errors with the script.  Tried 9.2 (?) and the program just crashes.

Thanks!

Table looks fantastic. Great job.
