Permission to MOD?: Yes, with approval

First I would like to thank Loserman76 for the beautiful work... wherever he is playing pinball!
 
small changes were made only aesthetically, to my liking...
 
small improvements in the playfield, plastics, lighting,flippers position...
 
version used was 1.0, follow the link to the original table   https://www.vpforums...showtopic=47908
 
 
Description of Loserman76:
 
This is the EM version based off Goldchicco & JPSalas' Bow And Arrow table. 
 
 
Special Thanks to :
Goldchicco for allowing me to create the EM version of this one
JP Salas for the vp9 table used as base for create this one in VPX
@Arestis for redrawing  the plastics.
@Thalamus for the Playfield mesh
@batch for the backdrop image for Desktop users (modified to be EM appropriate)
 
EM DirectB2S image thanks to Wildman.
 
I did my best to keep all the goodies Goldchicco has in the SS version:
 
' Fleep sound package
' Table physics (using nfozzy/roth/fleep guidline)
'  nFozzy flippers physics
' JP's LUT code
 
hopefully I didn't break any of those things when I shoehorned my EM code base into this.

Just thought I'd ask a question about the table here instead of in the comments. Why are there light sources under the pop bumpers? You clearly have light coming from under the play field below all four pop bumpers. Is the play field on this table transparent plastic or glass? Just curious.

Hello, I used the original lighting made by Loserman76... I didn't add any lamps, but I'll check this situation you mentioned.

if you could put a print here indicating this lighting below the bumpers it would help me

Look at any screenshot you have personally posted of your table. Now look at the play field below the poppers. There is yellow light surrounding the poppers on the play field when the poppers are not lit. Why? The light is pretty easy to see because the play field is blue and the light is colored yellow. There's yellow light surrounding each of the four poppers.

 

I would post a png with the areas i'm talking about but i have no idea how to post images here.

it is simply wood, the surface under the bumpers is not colored.

exactly my point. So why is there yellow light surrounding the bottom of each pop bumper? If they were lit i could understand there being light surrounding the bottoms. If anything the light should be a lighter shade of blue, not yellow since the pop bumpers aren't yellow. Regardless, I'm asking why there's light surrounding each pop bumper. It looks like there's light coming up from below. It looks OFF. Strange. Like it's a mistake the person made when lighting the table. As I said previously, it looks like the play field is made out of glass or plastic and there's lights below it under each of the four pop bumpers, and as you pointed out... it's made of wood.
