Aloha (Gottlieb 1955)
 
I love the colors and gameplay of this table.  It’s a two-player and it is, in my opinion, best to play with two because you can steal the other player’s bonus   .  The trick to high scores on this table is to try not to hit the gobble (bonus) hole in the middle and build up the red and yellow bonus’.  Then hit either the red or yellow kicker. The gobble hole is also great as it will score both bonus’, but you also lose your ball.
 
This is my second complete ground up build.  As with Wonderland…I started with the “New Table” option in VPX.  I then added all the playfield features.  I then added the scripting to make them work.  Once I got there, I added rules and scoring.  I finished it with images and adding special table features like JPSalas' LUT brightness control and VPX7 Rev2 Material Physics (with JLou’s flipper tricks!) 
 
Like my Wonderland table…I added to this table the ability to choose your lifter option.  Older machines typically require the player to “lift the ball” to play.  Newer games kick the ball out to the plunger.  I got annoyed with having to lift the ball, so I scripted the table to give you a choice.  Manual lifter or automatic lifter.  Manual lifter you must use the right magna save button to lift the ball to the plunger after a drain.  Automatic lifter the ball kicks out after a drain.  There is also an option in the script to choose either 3 or 5 balls per game.
 
I would like to thank the following individuals.  With out them I would not have been able to make this table.
 
POPOTTE – Popotte’s FP table was my inspiration and provided valuable resources to this build.
JPSALAS – I used your awesome Physics, LUT code, and rolling sounds.
ROTHBAUERW – I added your manual ball control and ball dropping sounds.
NINUZZU – I added your ball and flipper shadows.
 
I also want to thank everyone on the VPX dev team and the entire VP community!!!

Looks great, Jino... nice work.

Good job Thanks JINO0372, POPETTE and everyone involved

Table looks great but ball is moving too slow and i feel like is floating. This is strange because it has implemented JP physics. Maybe need some adjustments. Just played Your second table Wonderland and physics is MUCH better.

Loving all your new uploads, great job

Thank you.

Those playfield physics don't look like "my" physics

They aren't.  I used the material physics and rev2 JLou flipper physics.  No offense but I thought your playfield physics did not work for this table.  Also, while I started with some of your defaults I did tweak a few things here and there.  So no...this is not a plug and play of your rev2 physics.  I do have an updated version of the table where I tweaked the table physics to match what I used for Wonderland.  The gameplay is better with the Wonderland table physics.  I plan to release an update.

Thanks for a nice table. Interested to see the updated physics version as does feel a bit floaty for me personally but then I don't play a lot of these older tables.

Try adjusting the slope or gravity.

Sorry.  I'll correct it.
