Good idea

I just wrote to @SG1bsoN

At this point I should probably just explain myself.

When I built that table, Tom Tower the founder of the now defunct MBPC helped out (along with DJRobX) with various assets, the models for the aliens and the plastic ramps from memory. When he closed MBPC he asked that his work not be hosted at this site and out of…[Read more]

Uses all mine textures

Not sure what the point of asking permission was for if you were just going to placate me and say you understand and then just go ahead anyway.

Dick move.

Hey, thanks for all the contributors for making such a good version of this. One thing I thought you may want to take advantage of that might help improve it a tiny bit is you are welcome to use my flippers and their textures from either Addams Family or Firepower. The shading on the ones in this version looks a bit confused, the W logo almost…[Read more]

Thank you my man!

Awesome way of using photogrammetry, looks like its going to be a great build.

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]
