Based on the table by Williams from 1972.
This table is setup as a replay table. The add-a-ball version of this table is Big Star.

Thanks to Halen for suggesting the table, the directb2s and for the images supplied.

I have included a simple db2s.

You're welcome!

You'll need to explain a little more what's happening. Do you have a "User" folder in your VP foler? If so, do you have write access to the foler?

The script should be working fine, since I managed to get a few highscores (cheating of course ) and I was able to write my initials.

Keys are: left/right shift (flipper keys), enter (the plunger key) or the 1 key (startup key).

Super Star - Change, if you want to change BallsPerGame = 3 in Line 33:
Change Line: 1128 ... Controller.B2SSetBallInPlay (Balls+(5-BallsPerGame))

Here is also the first directb2s, but with all the Light-Changes.

ToDo(maybe): 100.000 Lights ... i don't know, how high can be the Scores here.
 
DT Users, (i think) above you can also Change … Select Case Balls > Select Case (Balls+(5-BallsPerGame))

UPDATE

 

4.0.0 Updated 09.11.2022

- Updated to my VPX7 physics

- Some small script updates, like the Rolling sound and PlaySoundAt routines.

- Added my latest VPX7 LUT changer to darken the table (hold down LEFT CTRL while change with RIGHT CTRL).

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

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

- Made the light inserts warmer.

UPDATE

 

4.3 Updated 21.11.2023

- New directb2s by Halen, closer to the real table.

- Fixed the ball display in the desktop and db2s (the ball number can increase up to 10 balls)

- Updated physics to my Rev3. Including physics materials, flippers and slingshot shapes.

- Updated LUT images, 10 shades and 10 warmer shades.

- Updated to my latest set of mechanical sounds.

 

This update was done mostly because of the fixed directb2s by Halen, which now is more close to the real backglass of the table, with extra lights, ball counter up to ten balls, since this table is an add-a-ball, and the 100.000 light. At the same time I also fixed the desktop version.

This table is still VPX7 compatible, but it can also be played in VPX8

 

I must add that the flipper's code by JLouLouLou is really nice (included in my VPX7 Rev7 physics) , and even if the timer runs at full speed, it doesn't slow down the table at all, since the timer doesn't do any math, it simply changes some flipper parameters. But the flipper's control is like night and day. Ok, ads off
