Dear friend,

I wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for your incredible work on this project. Your dedication, skill, and passion truly shine through in every aspect of the game. I especially appreciate your patience with my countless suggestions and ideas throughout the process.

Your virtual recreation of this tribute is particularly poignant as we mark 30 years since Senna's passing. The remarkable fidelity to the physical prototype is astounding - it's as if players are standing in front of the actual machine at the Pinball Museum in Brazil. From the precise ball physics to the authentic sounds and visuals, you've brought the real table to life in the digital realm. This level of detail not only expands the reach of the original design but also serves as a fitting homage to Senna's enduring legacy.

Thank you for preserving this piece of history and making it accessible to fans worldwide. Your work ensures that Senna's spirit continues to inspire new generations.

Gentlemen,
 
I noticed some comments requesting the rules for the table, so I decided to summarize them in the traditional format of a rules card. I hope this helps.
 
If someone could create the artwork for the card to be incorporated into the table, I would be very grateful.
 
Images of the cabinet artwork are available and could be used as a background for the card, if you think it's a good idea. Just a suggestion.

UPDATE!

 

1.0.1 30.08.2024 

- Diverse small script fixes (read bugs )

- fixed Susuka and SPECIAL lights on the directb2s.

- Added rules card, optional, on the apron. Just make your choice at the top of the script. Thanks Halen for the cards!

- And thanks to Carlos for testing the table.

 

This is mostly a bug fix, both on the table and on the db2s files. Thanks to Carlos for finding the bugs

You may ask which bugs? Well, my tables are bug free, since I spray them with bug's spray But sometimes things doesn't work as expected Like the 2X, 3X, 4X and 5X, or the upper extra ball, for the circuits not resetting after obtaining the Special.

I made also a few adjustments to better play, like adjusting the left outlane rubbers, so you may save the ball from time to time, or the flippers to shoot a little better to the hole, or the rubbers at the hole, making the entrance a few mm wider.

The hole also didn't work as expected, as it was doing too many things in the wrong order, so sometimes you didn't won the circuit.

I find the sound fx and music especially just after launching the table, really loud.  Is there a way to reduce these sounds easily?

I guess the best is to reduce the volume in the editor.

Dear ALL,

 

thank you for this fantastic project and ... result! Question: is there a logo available for "Culik Pinball", I would like it much more than the "no image" placeholder in PX.

 

Thank you ALL, Christian.

Thank you ALL, Christian.

 

I added the logo to the apron, and I found it on the internet. I'm not home just now so I do not have access to it. But do a search on google, and you will find it.

I'm not sure if that's what you wanted...

I'll fix that. Or better: simply delete that line since it does nothing in this table.

[KyleALP]

Question, so everytime I play this and I get to the very end with multiball, when the balls drain it pops up an Error line 1212 for "Change GI Intensity" and then the table freezes. Any clue what that is from?

 

EDIT: I see someone else asked above. I'll delete the line!
