Space Mission/Space Odyssey are in my build queue currently so expect to see them pop up soon…

Yep – Hi-Lo is one of the tables I did that included that type of apron. It’s a feature on some Italian clones to get around their laws surrounding pinball, free games, and free balls. Instead of giving you a free ball at the shooter, it launched the ball from there when you earned one thus circumventing the laws and making it legal-ish.

Nice. I don’t think anything I’ve done so far uses this type of roto, but I’ll definitely use it.

Thanks to you @bord for teaching me how to actually create those playfield primitives.

Yup – PBecker has a bunch that I’m looking at bringing to VPX.

Thanks @bord for the new posts. They look great. Now I’ve got some more updating to do – lol.

One table that comes up a lot in discussions of my WIPs is Dixieland. If someone is up for doing a redraw of the playfield and the plastics, I think your best source images can be found here:

yes, please. I’ve got a bunch of tables that could use those instead of the one I am using currently.

I guess the thought of an empty build queue just isn’t my thing….

So thanks to permission from Bodydump, I have 3 of his VP9 EMs that I’m in the process of VPX’ing (2 are ones I know he released and the 3rd one I don’t recall ever seeing it mentioned or released anywhere). He had a 4th one but Scottacus has a WIP for it so I’ll leave that…[Read more]

Shows you that I don’t play 3ball games – haha. That is fixed now too. Sorry 1.0b is up

oops! had to google translate that last comment. Completely forgot to fix the post-it for high scores after I swapped out the apron wall for a primitive. Update 1.0a posting now

Ok, with Hi-Lo Ace out, that is (currently) the last table that was in my build queue. Still deciding how I am going to release the updates to 170+ tables in my catalog. Game theme, alphabetical, year of release, # of players, etc. there’s a lot of possibilities. I just don’t want to overwhelm folks again like Christmas a few years ago.

Interesting find. I just checked my copy (along with it’s sister tables, Spot Pool and Sure Shot) and all of them have this issue. I guess the way I did the inserts worked fine in 10.5 and 10.6 changed how they work. Expect these 3 tables to be fixed when I release updates to my entire catalog of tables. No date/timeframe yet, but it’ll be soon.

One interesting thing about the Wiggler BG is that it has yellow Wiggler Super Jet reels at the bottom right. Those get incremented with balls kicked out of saucers and if you get enough of them you get a free game. B2S is not set up for auxiliary reels, only score and credit reels so how do you do these?

I had to deal with…

What version of VPX are you using? Version and Build please as I am not seeing this issue. I’m guessing it is related to the setlocale(1033) issue mentioned above.
