Thanks so much UW awesome job all the way around!

Not sure what's going on, UW, but half the table isn't rendering for me...

I'm not really sure what is going on there noah. I can't reproduce that on my pc. I haven't used anything out of the ordinary. The majority of the stuff not rendering are the pegs and rubbers which are primarily made from ramps. It was built in vp9.04. I'm not really sure what to tell you. Is anyone else having this issue?

Nope...Works fine here!!

Try re-downloading the table maybe? One time I accidentally "rolled" my mouse wheel on the playfield picture selector and I didn't notice it had changed. Similar graphics glitch occurred and some how I manged to save it with the wrong image. Took me a while to figure out what the heck I did wrong.


Best Regards,
Todd.

Nah, it happens on both versions.

I don't get it...

I've never had to uncheck HR before. I'll have to dissect this baby and see what is giving me this problem.

[The Loafer]

Betcha you try an older driver and poof! problem goes away.

[Noah Fentz]

Probably not.

This is the first time I've ever had this problem. It's happened with our Whirlwind WIP once or twice, but it was easily rectified.

I know you have to light up POK and have one ball locked to the left and then shot the ball to the right all the way up above the bumpers where the ball gets caught.... (Sorry I am not good with pinball technical terms.)

It was good enough. I will try it. O.K. I finally got multiball and you were right. Here is the full scoop.
1) Light P-O-K
2) Lock ball in the upper kickout hole
3) Lock new ball in right kickout hole
4) Lock another new ball in left kickout hole.
This will start multiball. I don't know if the order of the kickout holes is random or not.

Great !
I knew Kristian VP8 version, a long time favorite.

Same table, same enjoyment from another galaxy in a parallel space/time.

This tables playfield is off the screen, (It is off the left side of screen as you can see in editor pic.)

 

Amazingly, nobody has said a word here in the support topic about it, and it has been here since 2009?

 

For those who want to adjust this...

CLICK THE BACKDROP BUTTON ON THE LEFT-SIDE OF VISUAL PINBALL EDITOR.
ALSO CLICK THE OPTIONS BUTTON DIRECTLY ABOVE THE BACKDROP BUTTON.
AFTER THESE 2 BUTTONS ARE PRESSED DOWN,
ON RIGHT-SIDE OF EDITOR, CLICK COLORS & FORMATTING.

CHANGE X SCALE TO 1  (You can set this to 0.7 but you will have to move the plunger decal to line it up)
CHANGE Y SCALE TO 1
CHANGE X OFFSET TO 0
CHANGE Y OFFSET TO 0

You can adjust these numbers to your specific liking, but this will put the playfield back on the screen at least.

 

Great table, and thanks for sharing your work!!! It is appreciated.

Carry on.

Well to be honest, my autopov.pov will adjust any table that loads, regardless of how it arrived
and then if that does not quite suit a given table, i will adjust it and export a table name.pov just for that table

 

So, i kind of never noticed

 

EDIT
And i just realized, this is the VP9 version, thought we were in the VPX version's thread
ignore me (I wish vp9 used pov's)

I actually posted a fix for this in my ScreenRes Settings for DESKTOP TABLES.txt attachment posted at the bottom of the tutorial here..

Tutorial here..

The text file attachment is to help people set up tables to use dB2S backglass on same screen as Desktop table.
