Hi Everyone, this a copy of my original wip post from the fpforums

A while ago Simplyus got in touch about making a small update to my 'Vampire 2006' table and I thought it would be a good way for me to get back into FP again. Well that little update quickly turned into a very big update, what started as just updating the coffin to be animated has turned into a complete re-imagining of the original table.
I've already made loads of changes and additions and it's getting close to being finished so I thought I'd show some pics and tell you about the changes I've made.

Changes:

Many cosmetic changes, still the same basic artwork but with numerous additions and changes throughout and some tidying up. Major changes include the appron and backlight.
Much more forgiving - it has user controlled kickers in both outlanes now to prevent annoying drains.
Animated coffin
Talking Skull
Castle model backdrop
Trapdoor (courtesy of simplyus) to get the ball into the plunger lane
Multiball mode
New sound effects
Fully animated DMD with skill shot mini game
Up to 4 players



The game itself is still a very simple pinball game with no modes other than the multiball but I'm confident that this is much more fun to play than my original version. Now some pics.



Not a huge ammount left to do now but I have to fit it around work so give me a couple of weeks. I still have some DMD animations to finish off and I need to get the skull working properly but I'm very close to finishing.

Thanks to Simplyus for importing my models into fp and for some helpful feedback, and also the little nudge to get me going again.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

I've just uploaded a quick video of a few of the DMD animations to youtube. The video quality isn't great (hitting the HQ button makes a big difference though) and there is no sound but it will give you some idea of how it looks for real. Please bare in mind this is still wip so some transition animation are missing at the moment.

Looks great Ruckage, If i didn't know any better I would have thought that was a real DMD. Great job.
