Dragon Hunter Final Update



Version: 1.5.0
Category: VP 9.x Originals

Author(s): Francesco, Faralos (graphical update and drop target routine)

Description:
had to squeeze down the music files to get it up here as it topped out at 66 megs
I used wavepad to save the mp3 music and wave files in 16 bit mono format due to the pin being way too large to upload here. I shrank all the files down from 66 megs to 21! food for thought

definitely a playable pinball machine. It does look and feel a bit different from the other tables i played but i cant tell you what and how you could improve, maybe one of experienced tablemakers has some tips for you. Personally i would place the credits a bit more subtle

nice table

sigh... this table is not mine. I did some graphical touch ups (posts, rubbers, walls, etc. and wrote the drop target code for the guy) so ya' have to find him and pm it to him maybe? I agree, but he barely knew English and wanted to know certain things, so when I put the drop code on I wrote bylines for each and every line. Stuff like that I do. For the Banjo Kazooie, the second one, all those neat graphical updates are mine, from the sling plastics, to the drop target shapes, to the walls. that kind of stuff I can do pretty well using the vp9 editor. Coding? well, I am getting there! I have about ten or so original pins in about a year and a half! not bad for a guy who knew absolutely nothing about coding or how to make a multiple-wall rubber! But i digress... go find him and let him know how ya' feel about it maybe he'll change it, maybe not, but before YOU do always ask permission from the original table maker.
just did a count i have 13 tables and 2 of them have been converted to vp9 from vp8. This includes a table skeleton I have here also which also has numerous pic images saved with the table (wood grain, stone, etc.).

Oh but i have no plans of changing this or any other table. I do have vague plans for a banjo kazooie table the kind of plan that might never come to life . So no need to find the author of this or any other table.

Any reason why my dmd/score is all screwed up? Bunch of letters in the score & stuff. Also, on the same screen, where it says Welcome to Dragon Hunters, it just displays Welcome to Dragon, any ideas? Tried v1.3 & 1.5 Final, Using VP912

it was made using vp9.07. some tables made with either vp9.07 or vp9.08 may not work with vp9.1.2
try using an older version of vp...don't know what else it could be

When you are getting letters in your score. It means the font isn't installed correctly. I don't have the table, but it looks like it was made using Chris' Skeleton table, then the font would be Williams Pinball wide. I quit using his cool skeleton table for that reason, people were always getting letters in their score. If the table wasn't made with the skeleton table, then it might be a different font.

I have XP and a font will always be installed if done in the following way.

Click Start, click Control Panel, Open Fonts folder, drop/drag the Font below into the Font folder.

Oh man you're spot on Bob, working perfect in 912, issues solved. Thanks for the help again!

You are welcome.

Did you ever download the Fonts zip for Visual Pinball? Most tables will just use a default font if you don't have the correct font installed, but Chris' tables (Fight Night, look for it) and some of Scapino's old tables must have a certain font installed (I never figured out how to change them on those 2 guys tables) or you will get alphanumeric scores when the correct fonts aren't installed. Download these fonts and install them if you haven't already done so.

Well i have been wondering through vp tables today and seen this. This isnt your design? But you did graphics and physics touch ups...so i will give you credit as well...love the artwork and the table....i love how vp has so many different tables than FP. Awesome work with whatever you threw in it looks great Faralos!

tks all the plastics, rubbers, posts, and such are mine most of the pics for the drops, things like that.
all the artwork though was not done by me, much as I'd love to take the credit for it
but all my pins save for Sanatorium (all artwork on Sanatorium was done by HassanChop) I did the artwork for
