This was a lot of fun to work on.  I did some research into how rototargets work and basically there is a solenoid that fires and free spins the targets.  Brief time later the mechanism locks the rototarget in place.  What this means is that the target free spins a random number of spots forward and they rotates back to an index position.  If you…[Read more]

This should fix it

So that’s who the guy in the ref jersey is!

I think that Onevox’s idea of a special backglass as a prize for a tourney is a fantastic idea!  Joey will have fun with this when he has pinhead company over to play on his cab.  In my mind it goes something like this, he casually asks his guests what table they would like to play then scrolls across t…[Read more]

I’ll check and see, if I do I’ll PM it to you.

@JR I love the Happy Gilmore video and yes that is a regulation sized center drain, just get out your virtual ruler and measure it .

The Cuphead is 3d printed in PLA and came directly from Thingiverse which is a great place to look for stuff like this.  The base is made from some walnut that my dad and I picked up directly from a mom…[Read more]

Ok we’ll tee up the tourney again once @Onevox releases the new version with the fixed “S” lane.  In the mean time I’m going to ship the trophy to Bord so his kids can play for it (see page one of this post) and the winner of this tourney will get bragging rights and the satisfaction of total pinball domination.

@Tom sadly that is about the only thing that I have made in Blender and it didn’t taste very good.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the tourney this past week.  There were some very impressive scores turned in and you guys were great beta testers and found a few issues that need fixing which makes you all winners in my book.

And the winner of the “Cuphead Cup” is…  Rajo Joey at a staggering 257,810!  Time for this little fellow to find a new ho…[Read more]

It’s 10-4 good buddies (blatant CB radio reference) time to get those scores in.

Wow great score!  That is going to be hard to beat but if I change the script and give myself 25 balls I should be able to do it.

Great score thanks for the video!  Your level of ball control and confidence with dead flipper bounces is impressive.

That repeating S SOUL light shot really does need fixing but I think that Onevox has that covered, he’s just waiting for the tourney to end to release the update.

So Thalamus is at 116,340 for a new tourney high score.

The S SOUL light is an issue and onevox addressed it in development of this table.  BTW the L SOUL light can also cycle like the S one.

Is there a scatter value for bumpers, I can’t remember if there is but that could be used to fix this.  Since the tourney is under way so let’s leave t…[Read more]

Thanks for posting a score, it’s going to take some great play to beat that!

Yes, once you get the ball under control, sniping off the C and N with backhands is pretty safe, the M and P, not so much so.

Another thing that I love about this table’s layout is that anything coming from the top of the table will divert to a flipper or sling.  No cheap center drains that you can’t do anything about.  The table is really well t…[Read more]

Every time I play the table the old Billy Preston song goes through my head.  “Nothin’ from nothin’ leaves nothin’, and you’ve gotta have somethin’…”

On this table you have to take chances.  To get the bonus multipliers the shot up the left lane to the top is hard to hit and sniping off CUP MUG DT’s plays h…[Read more]

Nice!

@flstclasic there are physics setting for the flippers if you select them.  Your confusion might be because Bord uses flipper primitives to make really nice looking flippers and these are right on top of the “actual” flippers.  If you select a flipper primitive it will not have physics settings because it is a “toy” and does not interact with t…[Read more]

My money is on the little guy, he looks so intense.  Tom, you better bring your A game.

When Onevox, Bord and I were working on Cuphead there would be down days where I’d send off code and then the graphics wizards would work away on, well graphics stuff (shows how much I know about that) so I’d have some down time.  I got to looking around on thingiverse and found this cool cuphead stl file so I 3D printed it to see how it looks…[Read more]

Congrats Onevox on a really swell table!  Thanks for letting me mess around with the scripting and game rule set, it was a lot of fun working with you on this.

While Bord, Onevox and I were sending versions of the table around I took a look on thingiverse and found a cool Cuphead stl file that I 3D printed and painted gold.  Bord made a name p…[Read more]
