How to convert Star Wars Trilogy v1.50 to FS

Load the table into the editor and go to the backdrop

Make the following changes:

For the image, select none.
Change the Inclination to 45
Field of View to 0
XY Rotation to 270
X Scale to 1.9
Y Scale to 1.25
Y Offset to 425

Note: I have no idea if the numbers above are good. I only have a one monitor (non-widescreen) setup so I attempted to adjust the table so it filled up the width of the monitor and was still in proportion. If someone has different numbers to use, please post them.




Import in the new emreel below into your table and set the transparency color to green (Red=0, Green=255, and Blue=0):




Click on the EMReel (it’s called TurboReel). Under the Position setting change the X position to 23 and the Y position to 297. Change the Reel Width to 110 and the Height to 140. Under Colors & Formatting select the new emreel image you just downloaded and imported.




Click back on the Backdrop icon to switch back over to the table in the editor. In the upper left corner there is a wall called TurboLaserCover. It currently has 8 control points. Delete three of them on the right side so you only have 5 left. Change the X and Y values for each of them to match the image below:




Now you need to adjust the VUK (Vertical Up Kicker). Refer to the image below and adjust the inner ramp object. Note that there are actually two ramps on top of each other. One has the metal gold image associated with it and the other doesn’t. Also they have a height difference of 6 units (the one with the metal gold wire is set at 130 and the one without that image is 124). You may also want to add another “wire” above. If you feel that it still doesn’t look quite right, adjust accordingly.




That’s it.

If they don't have time to make these few changes, do you really think they have time to play the table?

Hi Wtiger

i did what you said but the table looked to small on my cabinet

i adjusted the settings with the same settings as the new south park table

i needed to move the turboreel and now its ok but one more question:

the background of the turboreel stays green with me even if i adjust the settings

here is a screenie with your settings applied:

(i probaly make it works my settings use soutpark as an example)

njamont,
Regarding the emreel image, when you saved the image, was it still a .bmp? Also, for the transparency color did you set it to Red=0, Green=255, and Blue=0? I just downloaded the image myself, imported it into a new table, set the transparency color and applied it to a decal image and it worked fine on my computer.

[njamont]

aaah righto i just right clicked the small images and saved stupid me

will try again when i get back home

small question i think the underside is way to up how do i adjust the lengt of the whole table? x scale?

[njamont]

Yo Wtiger,

it worked thanks man!

njamont,
Glad you got things worked out with the emreel image.

Yes, the X scale will stretch the table. You might need to adjust the Y scale as well so it is still in proportion (plus the X and Y offset). You will have to experiment until your are satisfied with the results. Also in doing that you will possibly need to adjust the position of the emreel for the turbo cannon plus the TurboLaserCover wall.

Yeah it's not easy VP should have the same mechanism as FP in changing table sizez with keys on the board

Agree. I would love to be able to convert No Fear spanned to FS version. If anyone knows how, do let me know!
Would be so nicel to be able to see and react on all those fast paced ramp shots nearby 'Skull'. I think you all know what shots I'm talking about?

[pharaoh]

Is someone working on an official FS release for this?
Or is this just a do-it yourself project only?

Post the values you end up with for scale and offset.

At the monent it's a do-it-yourself.

I will have a few days off of work this coming week and I hope to change the turbo cannon from an emreel to drop walls and release an FS version.

Any chance of re-doing the transpartent ramps, they look a bit funky on the 4:3 version

I don't think they can be re-done much differently. What 4:3 table that has transparent ramps are you comparing it to? I'll take a look that the table you name and see how that author did theirs.

Maybe its just some settings i have wrong, but they have a few artifacts of some parts of the ramp, but compared to other table they dont look as good.....
