[Thalamus]

JP, Akiles and LM with another Surprise - LM a few Days before with his Tables …

I only wonder, there is a 7 x 7 Chess Field ? Whatever

great!!,

big horse is one of my favorite pinball machines, in the 70s and early 80s,

thanks and very valued your work, JP salas, akiles50000 & Loserman, you are my heros,

I've noticed that the special thirst lights up when you get all the numbers 1,2,3 and 4, actually,

the special must be achieved by moving the horse to the end (until the light of the special), the chess board and the advance of the horse is the objective, in addition to achieving the objectives 1,2,3 and 4

Thank you to JP and Loserman76 for these wonderful EM beauties! :-) 

 

Honestly I never cared for the older EM tables, but since joining this amazing community and seeing the hard work you all put forward, makes me appreciate every single release. Much respect from Canada!!

UPDATE

 

1.0.1 Updated 26.10.2019
- Added missing bell sound when advancing the horse.
- The horse advances just lit the next light, until it reaches the special.

 

This is a small update. Just to be a little closer to the original

Wow what a nifty unique table!

[ItchyRobot]

Great table. Is there a way to lower the button nudge strength for this table (per table)? This table's nudge is much stronger than my other tables.

Great table. Is there a way to lower the button nudge strength for this table (per table)? This table's nudge is much stronger than my other tables.

 

Look at the script:

    If keycode = LeftTiltKey Then Nudge 90, 8:PlaySound "fx_nudge", 0, 1, -0.1, 0.25:CheckTilt
    If keycode = RightTiltKey Then Nudge 270, 8:PlaySound "fx_nudge", 0, 1, 0.1, 0.25:CheckTilt
    If keycode = CenterTiltKey Then Nudge 0, 9:PlaySound "fx_nudge", 0, 1, 1, 0.25:CheckTilt

 

Change the nudge strength (here 8, 8 and 9) to a lower number (e.g. 5).

Thanks again to you and Akiles for this one !

 

As I'm a desktop user, I've a question about credit reel(s)

 

Is there a reel on the original table backglass showing when the score is higher than 99 999

 

On the desktop version, there's just the post it on the apron

 

Not very important, I'd just like to know

[Thalamus]

Thanks for the update and especially the playfield_mesh - now I'm having a huge problems beating my own best score.

Thanks for the update and especially the playfield_mesh - now I'm having a huge problems beating my own best score.

I added the holes after talking to you and seeing the difference in playability in the Avengers table I also added one hole in TOTAN Now I'm an expert in making holes, hahaha

UPDATE

 

1.0.3 Updated 16.01.2022

- DOF commands added by leeoneil.

 

 

Remember to check in the script for the option Epileptikdof for more lights effects with DOF

[tmpc]

Great table, thanks.

[jpsalas]

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 8.9.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- cleaned up and deleted unused graphics & reduced the size of the table

- Added my VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL). Including GI brightness adjustment. Use the LUT changer together with the day/night slider to give the table the level of darkness you prefer.

- Updated my mechanical set of sounds to a more "under the glass" sound, as people seem to like those kind of sounds better.

- Changed the Environment image to enhance a little the object shadows.

- Made the light inserts warmer.

- New playfield & plastics in 4k (ish )

[qcol]

Thanks for the series of updates for these gems JP!  

Unfortunately the DOF on the flippers is missing. It was OK in the previous version. Same on Big Indian, for example. 

[jpsalas]

UPDATE

 

4.0.1 Updated 13.10.2022

- Added extra DOF commands for the flippers by leeoneil

 

 

Edit:

Hahaha, now you can see what happens when you retire from work, today is 8.10.2022, and not 13.10 2022 I guess I'm looking forward to Christmas! Or I simply don't know which day I'm living in
