    Ian Pretorius replied to the topic fishtales and Jurassic park in the forum VP Table Releases 2 years, 11 months ago

    i updated the fist post with a gameplay video now ;)

    I also rebuilt and published all 4 my games using the newest version of Unity and i changed the installer to sniff for if you have vpinmame already installed and will not overwrite any of its contents if it find it ,will only dump rom in the roms folder. I also added a menu option to push the…[Read more]

    Ian Pretorius replied to the topic fishtales and Jurassic park in the forum VP Table Releases 3 years ago

    yeah im doing this now but it is a bit more complicated , i actually look for the existence of the roms folder, if it exists i do skip but i also install the rom into that directory if it is found :)  i will consider a checkbox , currently it is all automated so no need to even prompt a user. it is not uploaded still on my machine, the uploaded…[Read more]

    Ian Pretorius replied to the topic fishtales and Jurassic park in the forum VP Table Releases 3 years ago

    the installer has the entire vpinmame directory and files in it, the default one that gets installed when you install visual pinball , i have updated the  vpinmame dll to version 3 i think. Anyway if you do even install into the same directory it will only overwrite any files if it is itself newer anyways.

     

    The new installer will currently…[Read more]

    Ian Pretorius replied to the topic fishtales and Jurassic park in the forum VP Table Releases 3 years ago

    Thanks Guys, I bit the bullet and worked on the installer all day now so that it will detect if you have vpinmame already installed and skip installing those files ( except the rom which I will add to the existing vpinmame roms directory) if it doesnt exist. I have not applied this to the current uploaded installers just yet, there is one more…[Read more]

    hey Xenonph

    I dont know about the F1 table made long ago, I didnt make it, I have only made 4 tables , elvis , tommy, jurassic park and fishtales. As mentioned these tables are cutting edge and the latter two do not support dx9 even. Dx9 is ancient in computer gaming/ shading years, i think the next version of Unity will dump dx9 support entirely…[Read more]

    Hey all

     

    This is not visual pinball but i do us vpinmame. There does not seem to be any other appropriate category to choose from.

    Anyway :

     

     

    i did do all custom models for all and also did some mods that are seen around the web ( especially Jurassic park ). I did use the texture of the…[Read more]

    Thanks randr

    Well I cant really compare building to VP because I have never built a table in it ;) One thing for sure is better is that the Unity editor is in 3D. In fact except for Post effect filters in the game view, the editor view is exactly like the game.

    Thanks @ninuzzu

    If you remember a while back you were kind enough to point me to your table ( when it was still beta )  to source the plastics images ;) I also used you mirror motor and rail slide sound files. Extremely helpful.

    Hi Everyone

     

    Here is the video showing my table and game play. I recorded this video using medium settings this time round because otherwise the file size of the video to upload is astronomical. So its HD but medium bitrate. The actual game is obviously more crisp than this video.

     

    Many things were done with even more detail than my previous…[Read more]

    Nice work. There is a Unreal 3 Pinball development tools available… not interested in moving to Unreal Engine instead of Unity?

    Impressive job so far. :good:

    Thanks but not interested in unreal engine at all. I am highly invested in Unity ( 5 years ) , I am capable of building any tools within the editor myself, such as the tools you mention, I c…[Read more]

    Hi Again

    New files are uploaded.

    • Big change in the physics. Im not sure how this will work on all other computers but it works great on mine. In the end for best results I really had to push the amount of calculations spent on physics super high!

    aw man! Looks good!
    To bad I cant try it out atm, in the process of building a new cabinet and dont have a computer with gfx card. I will eventually in a few months from now :)

    I am a bit confused though… You made this with ‘just’ the unity game engine? or something like Unit3dPinball? Or something else?

    Best of luck with your new cabin…[Read more]
