ok, so I’ve got a couple more tables in the build queue right now (Ship Mates is one of them). Along with that, I’m going through my entire release catalog (like 180 tables) and doing minor tweaks/updates/fixes. The other thing I’m working on is putting primitive playfields on the tables with kickers. Thanks to an awesome tutorial doc by @bord,…[Read more]

eventually it will get added.

ok – here’s the easy fix for the drop target issue (this is a similar issue I had with drop targets initially on my EMs):

1. create a timer named “DropsTimerUp” and set it with interval of 500 and uncheck the enabled box. Place it among all the other timers on the playfield
2. at like 400 in the script you should see “Sub Reset_Drops(Enabled)”.…

@yrplace18 Those are not kickers, they are gobble holes.

Hate those things on real tables. get a good score going only to be foiled by the gobble hole.

Wow – that Zepplin table looks pretty cool. Definitely would work on that one if really good images of it popped up.

As far as music, there’s not much I don’t like. I could listen to Zepplin or Pink Floyd alongside some Lindsey Stirling, Bach or Beethoven and not think twice about it.

ball rolling was the timer name – because I used Allknowing2012’s table (with WRD1972’s modifications) without changing the objects/timers not realizing Allknowing2012 used different names for some common stuff.

Anyhoo, if someone happens to stumble upon really good images for those 2 lower plastics on the pre-production (lower pop bumper)…[Read more]

posted update that includes fix for missing materials on the bumpers and the ball rolling sound.

Ok, so next in the coming soon pile is “Flipper Fair” by Gottlieb. Add A Ball machine with a backglass ball “flipper”.  It’s in the final testing stages now.

I do not have a suitable playfield image for the proto version. If one pops up, I’d definitely like to do it as well.

Now thinking about it, I could probably just use the existing playfield to do the center pop version. But I realize now that the big hurdle is those 2 plastics at the bottom. I’d need good scans or redraws of those to be able…[Read more]

sounds like your save file is somehow corrupted or missing. Look for this file in your user folder: RackABall_62VPX.txt. delete that and re-run the table. You may get a cdbl error afterwards. run the table once more and you should not see that

ok, I’ll take another look. Albert over on the other forum suggested using the other sounds that I don’t normally use. So expect another update sometime today.

uploading an updated table. includes sounds on the pop bumpers (which I forgot when I redid the code for them) and a hopeful fix for the extremely rare ball trough issue of balls getting kicked out

Yes – even the real machine is wicked tough – even if you set the target lighting option to liberal. Also, some machines I’ve seen images of have extra posts by the flippers to reduce that center drain size.

Playfield meshes aren’t going to happen to my releases until I figure out this blender crap – that or the VP Devs create a true kicker object that removes the need for creating these meshes.

hmmm…. I thought I fixed that. I’ll take a look and post an update.
