      Thanks Chucky.  Lighting fits much better with the table lighting now.  BTW, you said it’s 2 & 3 screen.  Usually that means there’s a detached grill that can be displayed in the B2S DMD screen.  Is that not the case or does it simply mean you’ll not show a grill for those of us with 3 (or more) screens?

        I was perfectly happy with the previous version but this is gorgeous.  Whatever time, sweat, and blood you put into this update shows.  Thank you very much for sharing this!

          Yes in those areas.  Simply increase your layback setting and it’s easy to see what I mean.  I circled the areas that have this glow.

            :-) This is a great recreation.  Thank you to all involved. Family had fun over weekend with it and prompted us to enjoy the movie as well.

            I was curious about the several yellow/orange glow circles that are great for the out of the box POV but when I change things to match my consistent POV  preference these glow areas reposition and mostly over unfortunate areas.  Typically this is easily solved by me tweaking an environment image but that isn’t the case here and I looked through all images in the list.  Can someone direct me to which image or Element contains these glow spots?

            If I have to I’ll keep the original POV but my OCD is already dreading that. :-)

              Thanks Borg.  Looks and plays great as usual.  I love those bumper caps!  Super-realistic in 4K.

                Thanks for the validation.  Looks like I was already up then on the latest.

                  Is that really the latest version in the download? When I unzip the 1.1 version the VPX file date is 12/27/2019.  I also tried the 1.0 zip and the VPX file had a date of 4/19/2019.  Just making sure before I replace my current file.

                    I wanted to use these in PinUP but I’m obviously placing in wrong path since I still see the original loading video.  I placed these in the PopMedia default loading path.  Anyone know the correct path?

                      I have a pretty high end setup and was still running into video lag.  I didn’t want to have to rebuild Windows just to solve this so I gave NailBuster’s advice a shot and grabbed Handbreak.  Took the videos for Harry Potter and converted them from 1080p to 720p and now that PupPack plays butter smooth even under super multi ball.

                      The videos were originally 1080p but my backglass and the topper/dmd lcds are only 720p.  From what I’ve researched mismatched video to lcd is the main reason high end rigs are still having lag.  Well worth the time to convert those videos.  I’m now doing the same to the rest of the video-intensive PupPacks like Tron Legacy and Stranger Things.

                        This is without question a seriously gorgeous table.  I’m so glad I was pushed to switch over to 4K a few months ago.  The biggest accomplishment you guys have done, in my opinion, is to make an extremely fun and enjoyable PLAYING table.  Nailing the look is one thing but getting it to play like this table does is a great accomplishment.  Yeah that starts with the original Bally team but you guys created an impressive recreation that I can’t thank you enough for.  This table will be in my shortlist set of go-to tables for a long, LONG time!!

                          Thanks Dark! As soon as I get home tonight I’ll give that a go.  Sounds like making a copy of the table first is in order! :-)

                            I really like the quality of this and am excited to update the table in my cabinet.  However I thought I understood what I need to do but I’m not quite getting it.  Do you or anyone have a little bit more verbose steps on exactly what to do?

                              @watacaractr, you’ve probably figured it out already but just in case, what I had to do was set Grill to hidden and then it positioned the 3rd screen correctly.  Otherwise it will display overlapped on the grill area.

                                I don’t understand the comment.  Are you saying I’ve stretched the logo portion?  I’ll look at that but certainly not my intent and maybe the source file I grabbed from Wildman was stretched.  I don’t simply take a backglass image and position it into the wheel area as I HATE wheels that show the player score blocks, etc.  All of my wheels are full of layers to fix mistakes in the backglass images, rip out player score blocks, blend the ripped out areas, etc.  I made my own logo because the ones I found for Hyperpin were redraws that didn’t keep the backglass palette.  So I bet I ripped the logo after I resized everything else to get into the “wheel” the way I wanted it.  I’ll definitely double check and then fix.

                                But yes all my wheels are 1000×1000.  I only use the 1000×1000 photoshop template.

                                  Just a coincidence that it was next on my list of “missing” wheels but I did hear that same rumor.  He’s churning away at Earthshaker right now so I wouldn’t expect anything in the near term.

                                    Thanks for the wheel and the awareness of this hidden table.  I had no idea it was even out there let alone that Eula Dubh Sidha made a VP version.  I will definitely check it out.  From what I saw on the other site the artwork and theme is excellent.

                                    Yeah, sorry Death about the wheels teasing new versions.  I guess I’m type-A when it comes to my rig’s front end and I hate having Tarcisio wheels for most games and only Hyperpin style wheels for some of the older VP9 tables that I have a decent list to go through for myself.  Thought I’d share my work for others like me that want to have a more complete looking front end.  Like BeachBum I’m getting now requests for wheels.  If these are getting annoying I can find other means of getting them out there.  I just wanted to contribute in a way I’m able for those that can find the work useful.

                                      Sorry, not a VPX version.  This was prompted because of Kellogs newer B2s backglass that had a cleaned up image.  I didn’t see a wheel out there in Tarcisio style so I whipped one up.

                                        Looked for a B2S backglass but can’t seem to find one anywhere.  Does someone have a link?

                                          Stat, I too had a few balls stuck up there.  I realized I changed the POV from what was originally set so I put it back.  No stuck balls.  I then tweaked it more to my liking and dropped the Inclination towards zero.  Stuck balls.  I put Inclination up a notch and tried and it wasn’t until I got to at least 5 that I didn’t have stuck balls anymore.  Not sure why this happens as I thought it was just a POV setting but I was able to replicate the issue with near or zero Inclination in cabinet mode.

                                            Exceptional work to all involved!  This was in the commons during college and playing it on my cab has brought back great memories.  Thanks! :yahoo:
