Permission to MOD?: Unspecified

Initial announcement from Jeff:
VPX conversion
Artwork done by GNance
others to thank: JPSalas, Pinuck, hauntfreaks, Borgdog, Arngrim
in addition to the "standard" keys (typically "1" to start game and "5" for coin), I've added "3" as another coin input and "4" for coin and auto-start game (like I recall the dime slots generally were) to simulate 3 coin slots
when game is not in progress, holding down left flipper for about 3-5 seconds will bring up the options menu. left flipper selects item, right flipper changes option.
I've also included shadows for the ball and flippers. If you want to turn them off look for these lines at the beginning of the script:
Const ShadowFlippersOn = true
Const ShadowBallOn = true
change to false if you want either of the shadows not showing on your tables
 
Fast Draw is for sure one of the most "important" EMs ever. In total I spend months of my life at this highlight of this area. 
 

Here I offer you "our" 
 
Version 1.0c
 
This is my first cooperation with Leeoneil, I thank explicitly for his contribution:
improvements from him are:

- draw the plastics in VPX, there are now in 3d with light reflection
- add shadows layer for the GI, for tilt and for each DropTarget (rendering in blender).
- adjust ball shadow
- add SSF command in the script
- change the ball rolling sound
 
I made the following changes:

- new physic (cab optimized),
- slight layout change -> reduces ball losses between the flipper fingers and outer side lanes
- many new sounds e.g. gate, up targets, drop targets, kicker holes ....
- randomize for angle and force for both kicker holes
- new material assignments for plastic separators - better appearance in red
- improved ball and ball position in the plunger lane
- the bumper triggers are now in colored plastic
- new timing for ball release - now after player up alternator ends
- new POV for cab use
- in game over state the plastics illumination stays on (the original behavior of all Gottlieb EMs)
- and all score reels become illuminated in game over state
 
Version 1.0d thank you to qcol for finding the bug
                    thank you to Leeoneil for fixing the bug
- DOF flaw at flipper fingers fixed
 
Version 1.0e
- all object sound now in correct operation
- upper drop targets are now shield protected against "ball from the side" (legacy mode was not working properly)
- new rolling scoring reels at BG,
- new illumination control for BG (better than in 1.0c)
- new fonts for lighted messages at BG 
 
All this in kind tribute to Jeff Whitehead.

Thanks Mustang & Leeoneil, the table looks really good!

Thanks Mustang & Leeoneil, it's a great improvement!

Thanks for the update. It looks nice but I have Flipper = DOF only in the VPX settings, yet I can hear the sound, why?

On other tables this is not the case. The only way to remove the sound do it in "sound manager"?

Sorry qcol, I am not familiar with DOF, I cannot help. I have the typical bumpy Gottlieb sound when I trigger the fingers.

I didn't check the DOF, assuming it was good, but it's an old one, without the proper code.
I'll correct it as soon as possible !

 

edit : can you check with this file please ?

I don't have the time to test it on the pincab, sorry, i let you check if it's good

If it's ok, maybe Mustang could update the file. Thank's !
