Superman Vs Ali FS



Version: 2010
Category: VP 9.x Cabinet Tables (FULL SCREEN)

Author(s): Bob5453 (Superman graphic Mod), , JPSalas (The Ali Table)

Description:
Graphic Mod Of JP's Ali Table.
Thanks to Noah for giving me permission to upload this table and a Big Thank You to JPSalas for allowing me to add Superman to his fantastic "Ali" table.

All Superman and Ali pics were taken from the one-shot comic book, "Superman Vs Ali"

You need the "Ali" Rom to run this table.

Nice work! Another one of my favorite tables, so I will definately check out your mod. Thanks for making it, and thanks for allowing the mod guys.

[speed24]

Can you post this table as a 4:3 ratio instead of full screen ? I'm running these on a laptop . It's a great looking mod and can't wait to play it .

[kruge99]

This will make a nice addition right beside the Ali table in my Hyperpin Database!! Thanks Bob!


Best Regards,
Todd.

Is there away to run full screen tables on a laptop ? If so , how do you do it ? The tables are run vertical instead of horizonal .

[kruge99]

Unfortunately, there's a bit more work to change this table than simply changing the settings on the backdrop tab to match JP's "Ali" table. You can get the table up and running "mostly" simply by changing the settings on the backdrop to the following:

inclination: 54
FOV: 32
Rotation: 360
X Scale: 1.13
Y Scale: 1.13
XOffset: 0
YOffset: 0

- the plunger may need to be moved to make it visible.
- The emreels and decals will need to be translated 420 units in the Y axis. [draw a box around all of the emreels and decals at the top of the screen, right click on one of them and choose translate, put 420 in the Y box and click the OK button.]

The DMD/LED code seems to be broken as well so that means someone with scripting experience would have to fix that.


The other way would be to export all of Bob's artworks from this table, and then use the "Reimport" function on a new saved copy of JP's 4:3 Ali table and once all of Bob's artwork is imported save the new table to something like Superman-vs-Ali-MOD.vpt as an example.


Best Regards,
Todd.

Could you make a pfx image of the play field and the Bumpers so I could import the images to my 4:3 table. I would be very appreciative if you could do this. As always , thanks in advance Bob 5453 .

- open the Superman vs Ali Fullscreen table and in the editor, click on Table --> Image manager

- export all of the playfield, bumper and plastics images

- open the Ali 4:3 table and in the editor, click on Table --> Image manager

- using the Re-import From button, re-import the Superman vs. Ali images to their respective locations.

Since you already have all of the Superman images in the Fullscreen table itself I don't really see a need to upload the images here, which would waste a bunch of the board's file space needlessly.

This is really all I did to make the 4:3 version, I only needed to change graphics on the main playfield (pf), but you need the apron graphic also. I then added Superman to the backdrop and filled in the info section. The 4:3 version is now in the VPM Mod forum.

Kids and I are loving the fully modded table Bob, many thanks.
Got my oldest interested in the comic today too

Here's a pic of it running in my cabinet, feel free to pop by for a game..

That looks great Gunner. Thanks for the nice comments. I'll drop by on Easter, so have Easter basket ready for me too.

I tried to use the UVP for this table last night and I wound up getting loud beeps and the UVP applet apearing in the corner of the playfield. Anyone have any ideas? The table fired up - again, just uvp isn't working. I put the LED code in the table script and added a timer. Is that okay to do with this particular table?

Thanks!

I'm also having trouble getting the UVP backglass to work.

I can open uvpserver and load the backglass and it seems to work.

All files are named the following

Table: Superman Vs Ali (Bob5453 2010).vpt
UVP Files:
Superman Vs Ali (Bob5453 2010).uvp
Superman Vs Ali (Bob5453 2010).png
(both in \hyperpin\UltraVP folder)

Backglass image and Wheel logo are both present and both named Superman Vs Ali (Bob5453 2010).png

Script contains the following:

CODE

Sub LoadVPM(VPMver, VBSfile, VBSver)
     On Error Resume Next
     If ScriptEngineMajorVersion < 5 Then MsgBox "VB Script Engine 5.0 or higher required"
     ExecuteGlobal GetTextFile(VBSfile)
     If Err Then MsgBox "Unable to open " & VBSfile & ". Ensure that it is in the same folder as this table. " & vbNewLine & Err.Description
     'Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")
     Set Controller = CreateObject("UltraVP.BackglassServ")
     If Err Then MsgBox "Can't Load VPinMAME." & vbNewLine & Err.Description
     If VPMver > "" Then If Controller.Version < VPMver Or Err Then MsgBox "VPinMAME ver " & VPMver & " required."
     If VPinMAMEDriverVer < VBSver Or Err Then MsgBox VBSFile & " ver " & VBSver & " or higher required."
     On Error Goto 0
End Sub

And for now (troubleshooting purposes) the end of the script:

CODE

'Sub Leds_Timer()

'Dim ChgLED
'ChgLED = Controller.ChangedLEDs(&Hffffffff, &Hffffffff)
'End Sub

I have them commented out now but it was doing the same thing.

Alt+Tabbing to the UVP process shows just a black screen.

Tried other tables to make sure i hadn't broken anything carelessly and SMB works fine and Eight Ball Deluxe worked fine also

Any help would be appreciated, if you need any more info, let me know.


EDIT: Seems to work fine in HyperPin...but why?

Superballs, I can't help with UVP, although I did get UVP working for this table way back, but it stuttered for me on my old pc. This was the only UVP I tried, I did get quite of few tables hooked up with HyperPin also, but I no longer use HyperPin for anything, I just wanted to see it work. I don't have a cab, I just turn a monitor to play FS tables and I have a 4x3 monitor stiiting on the right side of my desk that I can use for backglasses. The B2S tables are more of my style, but I am still hoping the VP devs figure out how to display the backdrop on a second monitor (like FP) then creating 2 screen cabinet/tables would become so simple and that's probably when the EM tables will really see a resurgence in VP.

I play mostly in a WS format and really enjoy just sitting in front of my pc while playing a VP. I rarely play VP without using the editor anyway.

I'm not much different,

I just play on a laptop with a de-bezeled 22 inch monitor laying over it and a rubber keyboard in front of me on my table. I will have a cab just for the experience, but for now, just the playfield/backglass effect is pretty cool.

I find it strange though that everything seems to work in Hyperpin, I'm happy about that. Some of your tables I cant play in the editor due to a weird issue i have with some EM style tables that only I seem to have...what a relief that Hyperpin also fixes that. Though i seem to lose sleep over it sometimes heh heh

every superman table loads and starts.
the ball gets stuck in the top kickers.
hit F3.
the ball kicks out of the kickers to the drain.
restart.
still might get stuck in the kickers.
why do the vertical Ali and FS Superman tables do this?

They work fine for me. I can't fix what I can't see. This table is just JP's Ali table with different images.

[chas]

only the ali and ali vs superman tables do this.
JP, why is it doing this?
the ball is getting stuck in the 3 upper kicker after the launch.
use F3 restart 2 or 3x before it will play and not get stuck.
i tried everything to fix it.
