      Is there a way to take the score and credits off the playfield when i’m using a cabinet with b2s? Thanks!

      Drag them outside the playfield where the others are:

          Thanks for this great table!

          Just a suggestion if you ever want to make a mod:

            Sorry but this is Total Shit.. low rez crap …

            If you have a higher rez playfield I’d be glad if you post it here!  I use what I can find, which isn’t always good.

            lame game play is this a joke table ? or is it real lol… :negative:

            As far as the game play goes, what I like with this table is the additional slingshot below the flippers, which makes it tricky to decide whether it is better to flip or wait until it hits it and comes back in.  It takes a little time to get used to it, but I think the game play is just fine.

            Sorry you didn’t like it, because I really appreciate your great backglasses and pictures to make them.

              Export the L1 and R1 pictures from Image Manager, load them into gimp, change them to any color you want, and reimport from them.

                It’s part of pinball history, so would be nice to add to the collection. People who don’t want it, just don’t download.

                OK, I’ll wait 6 hours and if there is no objection to this post coming from a moderator I’ll reupload it.

                Bukowski would have loved that table. ;-)

                  I can see why it was rejected if you posted a screenshot of that one at least. For sexual content in the backglass, members have censored the screenshot before upload. That makes it more, easy to approve at least.

                  I tried to include a screenshot of the table, but it wasn’t shown (maybe because there was a space in the filename or that it was a jpg).   It looked like that:

                  I would appreciate it if those who think it is to offensive would post a comment here!

                    Since I’m not the only moderator. I can’t know if anyone else rejected the upload, or if it was a server issue. Why am I saying this ? Because I saw a couple of days ago that both Bord and Hirez got rejected from what I can only imagine being in error.

                    Actually there were 4 mails, three with just the subject line “Moderator has rejected your file” and one with the full text:

                    Hi,
                    administrator has rejected your file:

                    Please google bgresto, take a look at the backglass and tell me whether it is appropriate to re-upload it!

                      I have immediately deleted the table after I got a rejection-mail (just 15 minutes went by between the upload and my deleting it, so not even a single download should have been possible).  The content was too strong, and I want to apologize to the moderators for my poor judgement in this matter!

                              I will try to cut it out, get the perspective right and fill in the black parts. I will then post the resulting picture here to let you guys decide whether it is better. Will take a while (I’m not to good in repainting pictures).

                              Took less time than I thought.  I didn’t much painting, but pasted the missing parts in from the bad original image.  The lines where I merged them can be seen though. That’s how it would look like:

                                  plays brilliant any other e.m gems waiting in the wings :yahoo:

                                  Nothing specific, but if I make a new one it will be an EM for sure.  I don’t know how to use the roms in the VPM tables.

                                    nice table but on my screen all the score text is to large do i need a font for VPX?

                                    I mostly use Times New Roman (my favourite font), and I thought it should be available in every Windows installation.  I noticed that the text in my tables on Youtube videos from them is sometimes not at the place where I see it and has a different size.  Maybe it has something to do with the screen resolution someone uses?

                                    I also get this error

                                    letter=cdbl(temp3)

                                    Try deleting the hootenanny.txt file in the Visual Pinball\Users folder, and start the table again.  Letter is read out of that file (it is the number of letters that are lighted in the backglass at the end of a game, and is carried over to the next game).  At the first run of the table VPX creates that file with 0 for all variables.

                                      You can can drag and drop them off to the side! Open up table, hit exit and choose ‘quit to editor’. Click Backglass on left side and drag them over to the side. Good luck!

                                      I don’t see the score reels on the playfield when I select Backglass after exiting and quit to editor

                                      It should look like that:

                                      The score reels are the blue black-rimmed rectangles.  Just drag them to the ones that are already out.  The editor just shows an approximation where they will be.  You will probably will have to drag all the white ones off too.

                                        That update I uploaded some time ago needs another adjustment, because now it sometimes gets caught in the gate and no nudging gets it out.  I gave the update an hour of test play and everything went well, but when I played it shortly afterwards it happend the first time.

                                        In the editor first turn off  layer 8, which are the lamps, then select gate1, the sphere top left with the arrow, and change the rotation from 50 to 60.

                                        It seems when an error occurs it accumulates. I hope this fixes it once and for all.  I gave it a longer test play this time, but you never know. :-)

                                          Thanks, the pic shows clearly what you mean (I didn’t really get it from your first post).  That’s an error with the gates, they should prevent it from reaching that spot (I did notice that it very seldom falls back on the other side into the plunger lane too, so it is probably is the same there. I will correct it and upload an update, but have to experiment with those gates a little first.  I guess they reach not as far as I thought.

                                            This getting stuck incident reminded me that I have the very nice Manual Ball Control Routines from rothbauerw included in this and the aerobatics table, so you can also hit “c” during play, which stops the ball and lets you move it with the cursor-keys.  Having that in is a great help in developing tables.

                                            And while I’m at hints, in the aerobatics table pulling the plunger quite down and waiting the one second for the ball to slightly move to the right, releases it 90% of the time to the top kicker, which increases the scoring opportunities a lot.
