zCol metal is assigned on my 1.5 version that is in testing

I am seeing issues with the b all not getting kicked at the sanitarium VUK.  And something weird with the ball not kicking to the shooter lane. Seems to be some lagging with it kicking out as the game plays. Thanks for giving this one some updates.

[wrd1972]

Disregard the above. User error.

It feels pretty close... I came home from playing a table in good shape and this really does capture the soul of the game... Is there a repo you work against with known issues? I can try to tweak and submit pull requests.

[Csilk]

no sorry there is not, but if you do make any changes or notice anything off please feel free to write em in here and when I have time I can take a look.

 

the flipper angles are very crazy on this version, my latest i actually went back to a less crazy setting.

 

I had one version that felt amazing however I ended up modifying it further and never had it feeling as good as it was. one big thing I will say is that the the bands across from the pop bumpers are super important for how it plays and feels, if they are set to dull then down the middles occur often and sometimes the play feels very static and dull, set them to high and it makes for a much better experience although maybe not authentic. I'm sure there is a setting in between that is both authentic and fun.

Hey just thought I'd let everyone know that 1.5 is in testing

 

' v1.5D

'

' Bugfix for flippers not being controlled by ROM

' Adjusted table slope to 7 (this is the biggest legitimate slope and should play the fastest out of any previous Dracula table released)

' Adjusted many materials even further

' Adjusted bands and how they bounce the ball especially around the pop bumpers

' Adjusted forces of slings and pop bumpers

' Adjusted kicker velocities and angles as well as randomization amounts

' Adjusted right and left inlanes further

' Adjusted less aggressive flipper settings (I'm happy with ramp shots now)

' Adjusted default lighting to all white lights

' Adjusted flipper elasticity slightly for slightly better control

' Adjusted skill shot bounces before falling into pop bumpers

 

should be released by the weekend, but there are a few edge cases I've run into that I want to make sure are cleaned up. I am more satisfied with how this version looks and plays than the previous ones.

here is some gameplay of how its playing now, I think maybe the ball is picking up a bit to much speed... at least no one can tell me the tables to slow now

[wiesshund]

Faster!

[Csilk]

any faster and it would reverse time to before the table was created and this post would disappear

i have a good apron of BSD made by myself in higher quality that you can include it for the next update. If you're interested, You can DM me for the link.

[Csilk]

yes I would love to update the apron with a higher res texture

Dracula transcends time

[Csilk]

New version is out

 

A hurricane decided to take out my power for most of Saturday but I was up late working on it once the power resumed working.

[djredick]

I apparently don't have permission to access that.  

[fourbanks]

Faster!

i think this table is best with a fast ball 

[Csilk]

I apparently don't have permission to access that.  

 

not sure why it wouldn't let you download, I double checked and looks like download is working for me.
