This beauty from takut will test your skills. Manually operated kickback, moving targets and even a Smart Bomb!
I've given it new playfield lights and lighting.
3.0 has lighting and physics updates for 10.8
Plus a cool FlexDMD upgrade - Thanks scutters.
Enjoy

Score displays are at the very top of the back glass, can only see the bottom digits. Adjustment somewhere? Thanks.

[Slydog43]

digits are also showing in fullscreen on playfield

[bigus1]

Change line 23 to 0.  The score was busted on this table when I got it. I tried to get it working. Fail.

There is a Defender in this site by 32assassin in which the scores works fine. But I do not have the version by takut, so I can't check it, but using flashers to make the score digits is a bit difficult to get them in the right place.

[bigus1]

First time I've seen that method. Definitely different

Scores working fine.

 

Use Line 22 for DT or FS view. DT =1, FS=0

 

Line 23 is for changing betwen the Standard VPX DMD and the DMD as lights.

Hi takut, sweet table. I'm strictly DT and I never used the vpx display personally. There were 4 players in the vpx display originally, and I couldn't figure-out how to move the needed elements around. Not busted but instead mis-aligned and too many players. Poor choice of words

You have to understand that resolution chosen does matter. Someone running on 4k monitor and full screen will see the scoring display very differently from one with 1280x1024 in windowed mode pr. example. It is one of those things you as a desktop users should learn how to adjust yourself out from your preferred resolution. I personally recommend desktop users to run with a regular db2s strategically placed on left or right side of the table. Will of course required you to make a screenres.txt to be set up correctly.

I've installed a second ROM and I keep getting a ROM error so the table never starts.

Hello

 

Today I addet the table Defender (Williams 1982)_Bigus(MOD) 2.1 with cool FlexDMD to my desktop playing.

First of all, a big thank you to everyone involved in the table

The table looks good and is excellent to play.

 

I have two small problems. Maybe someone can help me.

 

First:       When I start the table, the FlexDMD disappears behind my b2s.

               I get FlexDMD forward manually but when I restart I have to readjust the FlexDMD manually again.

               Is there a way to display the FlexDMD automatically at the front?

               (I don't have this problem with my other tables with FlexDMD)

 

Second: How and where can I set the table to 5 ball?

 

Cheers

To change from 3 to 5 balls, fire it up with the VPM score window showing, press END then 8 then 9 and repeat till the display test stops showing when you press 8. Then keep pressing 8 until the number 30 appears in the ball-in-play area. Now press 1 twice to change the 3 in the top row to 5. Exit table and close VP.  Next start will be 5 balls

The second small problem has been solved

Assuming you've already tried messing around with the B2S options and the stayontop value in dmddevice.ini then i think you might need to use the 'B2SWindowPunch' utility - https://github.com/v.../B2SWindowPunch

(sorry, no idea why other flex tables work ok with B2S for you but not this one)

Thanks for the hint. I will try that out soon.

 

Maybe it's something else in my case after all.
I have noticed that on my other tables, the B2s start first and then the FlexDMD
On this table, the FlexDmd starts first and then the B2.
I think if I can get the FlexDMD to start later, my problem will hopefully be solved

 

(But don't ask me why that is, I have no idea)
