I just read the code and pressed the required keys and this appears !

Neat trick @bord !

I am not amused!

I love it!

Now if Firepower can only be redone with the same level of graphics, etc. my trip down memory lane will be complete. The sound effects on that one are already fairly spot on as I recall them, graphics aren’t quite there yet. Thanks!

There’s a great version of Firepower here:

Virtual pinball has been by far the most involved I’ve ever been in any hobby.

I have always enjoyed sports and exercise.  I try to workout two to three times a week.  I most enjoy running, weight training, or playing basketball.  I also like watching college basketball and football and occasionally professional basketball and football.  I rea…[Read more]

I love how you guys take pictures of the real table and pass it of as a render

Thanks for posting bord.  This has been on my list to attend this year.  Now I just need to see if I can make it work!

Great job on this RAWD!  I can’t believe how smooth this plays even with the entire environment enabled.  I do get a little stutter, but it really doesn’t affect game play.  And thanks for the magna save option to disable the environment, easy peasy to turn off and just focus on game play.

It’s giving me a script error loop, I think it is only me, any idea? variable not defined and other errors.

Try finding this line:

Dim DesktopMode: DesktopMode = AFM.ShowDT

And change it to this:

Dim DesktopMode: DesktopMode = True

@cyclonepf thanks for the bug report. I’m aware of that. I didn’t found a solution for this yet. Sometimes the dropwalls stay dropped after the goalie stops. I will try some more stuff to fix this.

This issue is that galastpos can sometime equal ganewpos.  An if statement should fix it.  I’ll PM you the code.

Thanks Knorr and Clark.  I can already see it looks fantastic.  Looking forward to trying out your new physics!

Sometimes the table logic is such that a ball can’t be over the post when it pops up.

There’s really no good solution for this. Moving primitives don’t work.   Dropped walls will not cause the ball to jump.  I typically address this by checking to see if there’s a ball over the object popping up and I use a timer to make it “jump”.  You can see an example of this on the latest Skitso Medieval Madness with the trolls.  I think some…[Read more]

Whatever you do, don’t turn around!

In a couple hundred games, I’ve only had this happen once.  My guess is that if the rom hasn’t seen the Powerball in x number of gumball ejects, it assumes the game is being played without a Powerball and treats a random steel ball as a Poweball.  Since the table is set for the Powerball always to start in the gumball machine, this can happen o…[Read more]

I’m sure the timeframe for this is distant-ish future but am I the only one who feels like putting all current projects on hold effective immediately? Suddenly my interest in pre-rendering an entire table has completely vanished.

Unlike!

Seriously, you’ve been running pretty hard.  A little down time might do you wonders.  I took a b…[Read more]

Update

2.0.2 Bug fix to prevent stuck balls when the gumball machine reloads after “Lost in the Zone” mode.

I used to try to keep my collection to 100.  I’m over 200.  Mostly bord’s fault.

Welp … After a few hundred games, that’s no exaggeration, I finally had a monster game. 1.377B! And I earned every bit of it.  My previous was just under 600M.  Would have been more, but I found a bug   I’ve never seen or knew what Lost in the Zone was. It kicks out all six balls. That worked fine, but when it reloaded the gumball afterwa…[Read more]
