Abra Ca Dabra (Gottlieb 1975)

Here is  the VPX version of Abra Ca Dabra from Gottlieb (1975)

Original playfield is from Popotte and I found plastics images on Pinballrescue

I used a table template from BorgDog as a starting point

BorgDog did script, physics, chimes, animated rubbers behind drop targets, half moon credit wheel and the b2s file

He also did a gameplay options menu, it will open if you press left flipper when not in a game

Hauntfreak did lighting, material for metal parts, environment emission image, color grading lookup table, reworked playfield, improved plastics and provided some primitives

He also sent me a nice backglass image I used to do my backdrop

So, big thanks to them because this table is « AT LEAST » as much theirs than mine

Thanks also to Pinuck for his VP9 version, he made me want to do the VPX version, because, as I’ve no cab, I could’t play his fantastic table

You’ll also find the following XML files in the same folder than the table :

ACDportraitFS -> DT and FS settings from BorgDog

ACDlandscapeFS -> DT and FS settings from Hauntfreaks

ACDportraitFSBatch -> my DT settings and FS settings from BorgDog

ACDlandscapeFSBatch -> my DT settings and FS settings from Hauntfreaks

For those who don’t know how to use them yet, just do the following : File -> Import -> Backdrop POV

Hope you like it and Happy New Year everybody on VPinball !

Thank you very much all three of you BD, HF and Batch. When I saw the backglass posted some days back I knew that the tables was getting close to being released. This is one of the few tables that still is active in my pbx setup as a vp9. Seeing who “converted” it, I’m confident that I will be replaced by this.

Had to come back for an extra

On vp9 I was annoyed if I didn’t end up around 200k. After 5-6 games, it is still below 60k where it should be. Plays great guys !

Ah, this is a really good table.  I’m gonna have to dust off my pinball stuff with all the great tables that are being made for VPX.  Thanks, guys.

This was the first table I played as I’m setting up many tables I missed over the last few months.  Really nice and I got a big grin when I fired it up and enjoyed a couple rounds.  Nicely done.

One question I have, and this is probably stuff I should know, but have forgotten… what sound controls are for the EM clicking and buzzing sounds?  I can’t seem to volume balance them with the other sounds that are controlled with the basic +- volume buttons… and they are much louder.

Thanks for the table, it turned out nice.

I’m not sure, but perhaps the sounds themselves are too loud

Did you try to play them in the “Sound Manager” ?

Flippers are a bit laggy and score doesn’t work on my computer.

What are your computer’s specs ?

Thank you for responding!

Perhaps my PC is a little underpowered — Windows 10 (home) with 4 gigs of memory.  The EM games programmed by Loserman seem to work properly, however, other EM games on this site often have issues.

@chessaholic : I would say that your are right, even though you don’t really tell us much about the real important hardware – CPU and GPU. Believe me, upgrading to a PC that can handle VPX without being bogged down is really worth it. At least to me it is.

1st…thank you for the table.  I’m trying to play this on a single desktop screen.  I have another screen that I hook up from time to time and the B2S works just fine keeping score.  However, When I boot up the table for just one screen, the on screen score reel seems to just be static.  Is there some option a newb like myself needs to change?

Thanks for the thanks

I’m a desktop user, so I always play on a single screen

I think reels will work if you disable “B2s” in Preferences -> Configure Keys, Nudge and DOF
