File Name: Circus (Zaccaria 1977)_Teisen_MOD

File Submitter: teisen

File Submitted: 22 Sep 2023

File Category: VPX Recreations

Author(s): Loserman76, GNance, JPSalas, Pinuck, Hauntfreaks, Borgdog, Arngrim, Teisen, Cliffy, Burger
Manufacturer: Zaccaria
Year: 1977
Permission to MOD?: Yes, without approval

First I would like to thank Loserman76 for the beautiful work... wherever he is playing pinball!
 
small changes were made only aesthetically
 
small improvements in the playfield, plastics, lighting,flippers position...  I want to make it clear that the descriptions for the tables I'm sharing are "standard" for all, changes are made when there is a need for some adjustment.
 
version used, follow the link to the original table    https://www.vpforums...&showfile=13248
 
Adjustments made:
- lighting and playfield lights
- adjust targets position and color
- new POV
- plastic contrast
- color adjustment and small touches (unfortunately we don't have good image quality from PF)
- adjust PF buttons color and animation
- new hole
- changing the upper arch to wire
- base bumpers color correction
- correction of spinners (correct animation)
- new yellow plastic guides
- red poles
- adjust erasers color
- adjustment of the slingshots right left next to the flippers
 
 
Description of Loserman76:
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
 
 
Adjustments made by Burger (thanks friend!)
 
- nFozzy
- Fleep
- Changed the default sounds to "Chimes" and added an F12 menu option to switch it back to Zaccaria sound
- Disabled the flashing light in cabinet mode (the one that illuminates the Zaccaria logo on desktop background) because it was flashing at the top right corner of the table the whol etime I was on my cabinet
 
 
I apologize to everyone for the new version uploading so quickly.
 
- Adjustment of the slingshot wires to prevent the ball from bouncing, making it harder to play with the flippers. (Thanks XVector)

I can't hear any ball rolling sounds and there's no adjustments in the script. Thanks anyway.

Tip from friend Cliffy:

 

Edit line 2512 to look like this;

 

 

 

PlaySound("fx_ballrolling" & b), -1, Vol(BOT(b))*5, AudioPan(BOT(b)), 0, Pitch(BOT(b)), 1, 0, AudioFade(BOT(b))

 

 

 

I just added the *5 after the Vol(BOT(b)) and without it you really cannot hear the ball roll at all

i dont know how to upload a file in this archaic forum style but if you go to VPUniverse and look at the table comments i added a ball rolling sound that you can use to make better no script editing needed.  this forum style needs an update it sucks

The uploading of files works the same way as the way it worked when you uploaded your other files in 2019-2021.
