While DJRobX is busy doing amazing stuff with the LE emulation over on vpuniverse (this thread here) I thought I better not clutter up that thread with status updates on STLE
Everything seems to be working, I’m converting my Pro table to the LE model, which requires a couple minor playfield changes, new ramps, and some script changes. Pretty minor update really. I started working on the lasers tonight, I think it turned out OK
Using a modified version of a script gtxjoe had used in a demo ball movement table, I think he created it for JPLW or something? Anyways, I discovered you can actually move lights (the falloff, at least) through the script. You can move x and y, I don’t think you can move z though, not a big deal, the effect is achieved.
Here’s a video:
and of course check out the RGB demo here:

If you use the latest 10.2 beta, you can move the .z when using a bulb. I asked for that feature and they put it in.  It’s actually  .bulbHaloHeight
RGB lights are looking awesome!

Looks super beautiful, Fren. Star Trek is one of the best among your many amazing builds. Love the light show on this one. Thanks for working on an update to an already killer table.

Looking amazing Fren. I haven’t added a version of this table to my cab yet. So I will hold out for the eventual LE this will become. Great work all!

What a light show… looks great. Â Â

This looks amazing! Thanks so much for working on this. I’ve been reading the thread over on VPU… way above my head but fun to follow along.

OK one last preview before I finish up the rest of it and wait for a VPM update (sound/delay issues right now that hopefully can be fixed) – I finally was able to get to the mode where the lasers actually are so I could see them in game play. I want to tweak them, add more lights and try to get them to move in an oval rather than a circle, though I’m not particularly adept at the math needed to make the lights move in anything but a straight line as it is….
As you can see I’ve switched over to the proper ramps for the LE model, added the VUK to the left ramp (not scripted yet) – needs some final texturing on that to finish it up. Fine tune some lights, make sure all the flashers get scripted, make sure the rest of the less-interesting solenoids work as expected… and just realized the sign above the warp ramp was never added to my Pro version…….. I need to add that to both. Craptastic that’s embarrassing :(

Great job SirÂ
Can’t wait to test this masterpiece on my cabÂ

Beautiful work Fren, I can help with the movement if you need it:
http://www.mathopenref.com/coordparamellipse.html
In general the equation should be
x(t) = x0 + a*cos(t)*cos(ß)  – b*sin(t)*sin(ß)
y(t)= y0 + a*cos(t)*sin(ß) + b*sin(t) * cos(ß)
t is the variable that goes from 0 degrees to 360 degrees (periodically)
x0 is the X coordinate of the center of the ellypse
y0 is the Y coordinate of the center of the ellypse
a and b are the ellypse radius
ß is the angle between the radius and the x axis
If the radius is parallel to one of the axis, it means that ß= 0 so the equation will be simplified into:
x=x0+a*cos(t)y =y0+b * sin(t)
The one you have in the link above. Sorry for this boring explanation :DYou need to login in order to like this post: click here

Thanks ninuzzu!
and thanks to gtxjoe for the original script to get that working in the first place and writing it in a way I could understand.

Apparently I can’t get as crazy with the laser light show as I hoped. I set up 120 lights and framerate dropped to 16fps, unplayable :(

Don’t change it it runs perfect here! Add more even! So cool want more!
