Game files are available for download here in the VPX MODs section without music. Please don't ask me for the music files.

Laylow made some videos of the tables. He wasn't able to get the DMD setup to work on his machine:

Just remember that you are not allowed to distribute copyrighted music. We started to forget, and the last years we have started to upload music and roms together with the tables, and that's a no no.

[wpilot]

Yeah I mentioned that in my post. All music will be stripped with this table.
I have even contemplated not uploading this one.

I believe providing an external media pack will be an unfortunate necessity, because while it is reasonable for others to provide music files, this table has the music in a specific file structure with specific edits. Your best option might be to upload the table to Randr's site, which has permitted the upload of the original Watchmen table.

Thanks Wizball.

Yeah I'm still on the fence overall about sharing this table or just keeping in my private collection. On the one hand, I'm fully happy to share, but on the other - this may just pose something too messy to deal with. Both for the music setup and the DMD.

On the Plus side: I'm having major fun playing it - which is of course credit to your original. It's provided so far that fun "fix" I was looking for to have a "gamified" jukebox. Similar to the AC/DC table.

One question that is sparked in my brain in regards to copyright and music sharing (which I totally get - this site isn't for music sharing) but I wonder - how does it fly with art as well? Many tables use art and logo's and imagery from copyrighted properties. 

Not looking for an answer - just something I can never fully get my head around. Its the whole blurry issue around "fan art" I suppose.

The upload guideline here says you still can link the music files. The whole Virtual Pinball scene  is a gray area. Backglass art, table art, roms. 

Everyone knows, but as long as no one complains.

Posting a link to the music files scares me a bit with this table. While it protects this forum (which is good) it points the finger directly at me (which is bad).

As I've been thinking about this today I am heavily leaning toward saying: Anyone interested in this table can PM me and I'll set up a time expired link.

[wpilot]

Okay I believe this table set is ready.

Anyone interested in it PM me and I'll provide a time limited download.

Great Work. Nice table.

[jmohnet]

I would love to try this table  , is it possible to have a link ?

[wpilot]

If you haven't already PM me.

I just found a bug in the "Hits 2" table. Specifically with "Tie Your Mother Down" song track.

It was just an error on my part and fortunately its a pretty simple fix.
I've incorrectly entered the song file info for that song. There are only 8 files to that song and the scripting says there is something like 11 (I think)

To fix it you would just need to go to the music section in the Script. It's line 600-something. Easiest way is just to open the Script and go to Edit>Find Next and type "Tie Your Mother Down" and enter and it should take you to where the code is listed.
Then replace the code with:

 

 

' Silk Spectre 2 - TIE YOUR MOTHER

anSongPreviewTrack(10) = 2

aanMusicDuration(10, 0) = 25000 : aanMusicDuration(10, 1) = 25000 : aanMusicDuration(10, 2) = 25000

aanMusicDuration(10, 3) = 25000 : aanMusicDuration(10, 4) = 25000 : aanMusicDuration(10, 5) = 25000

aanMusicDuration(10, 6) = 25000 : aanMusicDuration(10, 7) = 19000

Or you could delete off everything from the (10,7)=  and then replace the number 25000 with 19000

Anyone that currently tries to cue up Tie Your Mother Down will get a popup error.
I've made the fix and anyone that requests the tables from here on out will get the latest version 1.3 So this is just for everyone that got the tables before this date.

Hello everyone, I play on a full single screen, how should I do to put the dmd on the table (the dmd is apparent but only on the desktop screen)

thanks for the help

For those saying the DMD isn't showing, could you try this: Open the table in VP and go to the Backglass/POV mode. Then check the box that says "Test Desktop" and run the table. See if it shows up for you.
Let me know here if it does.
