nope, same as any other table… ever

@siggi there is no point running higher than your refresh rate it only introduces stutter. You are always best to lock it by setting vsync to 1. This will keep 60hz/60fps and always suggest using exclusive.

I’m gonna say, each time I see lazy posts of people posting I got this error with upper flipper not working or the fatal error dialogue. Seriously, it takes more time to take screenshots and make a post than it does to re-read the instructions and other comments and realise what it is you have done wrong.

Extra note: In addition to making sure you leave playfield reflections on it also sounds like you need to also have the dynamic playfield reflection options in the video options enabled too if you have the black insert issue. I don’t think screen space matters but have it on if you can it looks great.

@rothbauerw @blacksad

You must have turned on 3rdaxis stress testing function in the script options. Set it back to 0.

The insert error is related to playfield reflections. We uncovered the vpx source code has hard coded that is playfield reflections are disabled it ignores alpha blending. Rob has submitted a change to VPX but this might not be fixed for a while since 10.6 was just finalled.

If you have not changed anything and have this error I’m not sure, it…[Read more]

Sorry you may have misinterpreted the instructions. Playfield reflections must be on otherwise the inserts display incorrect. You can achieve the same performance gain by disabling reflection on each primitive. Definitely leave playfield reflections on.

Yeah I only added that light at the end and it bugged me that it was dull. I’ve just realised it is because the VPX lighting is dulling it. If you select the primitive (layer 2 from memory) and if you set disable lighting value to 1 I’m guessing it will pop correctly.

As Rob noted the flashers were a new idea for how to handle. This method…[Read more]

Just reiterating there is a known bug. That is not reading that you need to install the latest 10.6 for this to work. Thanks for all the positive comments guys, glad you are all enjoying. How fun the game is only snuck up on me at the end of the project which is nice since normally by the end of development the last thing you feel like doing is…[Read more]

If you disable playfield reflections the inserts display incorrectly with black overlays. There is a work around if your system can’t cope with reflections. You need to select all the primitives on layers 4,5 and 6 and disable “Enable Reflections” on those. I have already disabled for the ones on layers 7,8 and 9. It seems to be a vpx bug that…[Read more]

If someone who knows backglass editor better than I wants to use those images to make better backglasses please go ahead too. I uploaded the full res PNGs I had.

And a wip render with the retopolgised 3d scan…

Guys, just reading this thread and got a pm. I do plan to sort something out with my previous work one day  I’ve just procrastinated on it for now and am busy on several projects now that occupy vp time. There is work I want to do those existing projects, things I’ve learnt since they were made. I might wait til that is done before republishing…[Read more]

@Blacksad tried on the weekend,

looks beautiful. Thanks

Great to hear guys with lower level systems are running without performance issues, to the couple that had trouble your installs or systems are where you need to look. VPX allows you to turn off settings that have overhead and the script and mods provide options to reduce overhead too. I know one of the two posters also was posting on the visual…[Read more]

Hi guys, thank you for thenew TAF!

the table loads and attract mode displays, as soon as i press the start button – i get this script error.

“Line 1, object not a collection” – am using latest VP10.6 Beta and have scripts all in right places etc

I’ve also tried an earlier version (rev 3592) on advice from others about a conflict between l…[Read more]

Thanks for the work that has gone into this and sharing. Just one note, I hit the orbit and the ball coming down at speed skipped over the top of the left lane guide/plastic and drained. Maybe the plastics need to be set to be collidable too? I didn’t check to see. Great work.

Thanks for the whirlwind of support guys, I posted before clocking off for the night. At the very least anyone doing some google due diligence on David Gillmore and http://retro-play.com.au and https://www.dave-techguy.com will get to read some of this and his shady business ethics. I had been working toward an idea for tying a download to a…[Read more]
