Hello.  When trying to start this table I am seeing this error:

 

Runtime error

Line: 52
Variable is undefined: 'vpmInit'

 

(I have no problems running Cobra (Nuova Bell 1987))

You need to move the playbar.vbs file that is included in the table package, to your scripts folder.

When you express your gratitude, most of you forget that I created all the graphics to achieve this quality after countless hours of vectorization and retouching.

So, the least you can do is thank both JPSalas and me, not just JPSalas, because otherwise I won't be motivated to create new tables.

 

I think it's fair because otherwise those recreations simply wouldn't have existed.

No, we don't forget, most people don't know and only thank JP because JP uploaded the table.  

 

JP did mention you in the upload.

Hi Juan Pablo. I noticed something. The cabinet rail option (F12) doesn't work on either the Cobra (Nuaova Bell) or Cobra (Playbar) tables. Thanks.

Yes, the rails are removed, but not the sidewalls.
