Most likely because you have some of your pup displays set to rotate that this pup-pack uses. You shouldn’t need to have any pup display set to rotate if you have all your media setup / converted correctly for popper.

You do what you gotta do. We can be patient until you are able to find a solution.
For uploads over 100 MB (which can be most tables by themselves nowadays)… if need be, we can use a link to another share in the meantime.
As an example of a site that became unstable because of spam and attacks is gopinball. Lots of history there… but it gets so much spam posting that it became unusable.

RetroFlair 2 – “Behind the Scenes”. A visual showcase of how all the magic happens! (Future Pinball)
Wow! Thanks for all the praise I’ve been seeing for my first preview video for RetroFlair 2. As a result, I decided to do a unique video that “shows” you how it all works behind the scenes in “real-time”. I demonstrate how I use BAM’s many features to create and do all the cool things you see (without being too technical), and how I brought Tron to life in a pinball game like you’ve never seen before.
Note: the stutters seen in the video from about 24:00​ to 40:00​’ish are a result of the Youtube video conversion. :(
Normal gameplay is silky smooth with no stutters.
Everything is bookmarked for quick reference:
Introduction – 0:00​
Inspiration and motives – 2:04​
Lighting – 3:01​
Texture Animations – 6:01​
Inserts – 7:34​
Table Misc Features – 9:54​
BAM Custom Models, Animated Characters – 13:11​
BAM Mini Playfields – 15:39​
Magna-Portal 20:23​
TRON Epic Gamez mode – 24:26​
Disc Wars – 33:16​
Animated Character Opponent Targets – 36:54​
LightCycle Battle – 38:39​
LightJet Battle – 46:00​
Tron Classic – 50:58​

Also, as a heads up… there is a new version of FutureDMD being worked on (by a different author) that is in beta testing right now.
This is a HUGE update with a crap load of features. It’s honestly a totally different program as very impressive with all the options / rendering / settings / per table options it has.
Link to this thread is here. He’s already got many updates and features added since the last beta. He is active in the FutureDMD section on the Virtual Pinball Discord Chat Discord group where he shares more updated betas.

Makes my head hurt to think what went into this thing, Terry. Looks absolutely bonkers.
Love seeing your creativity and passion for pushing the envelope.
Coming from you… that is a compliment to the highest degree.
Yes. I think that many table authors would cry when they see the code alone for this thing. :)
I had to create (more to come) the equivalent of 3 tables almost. So much has to be created and then changed for each one.
- 4K playfield art
- 4K plastics art
- real insert meshes and bump mapped inserts (using Schreibi34’s gorgeous images)
- animation for the inserts, balls, ramps, flippers, wire ramps
- sounds for each mode
- music for each mode
- targets art
- decals
- sidewalls
- backwalls
- sign art
All the above (and much more) needs to be changed and managed… and all textures, lights, flashers… literally everything on the table is managed and adjusted for G.I. lighting on / off…everything. Brightness, colour, bump map levels.. all changed dynamically.
Honestly…. the only bummer is being limited by FP being a 32 bit app… so there is a limit to what I can add to a table before it can’t address any more ram (VPX has the same limitations). The table at one point was at the limits of what could be addressed and was crashing. I found that converting all textures to jpg (except for the many TGA images I need) and removing extra “colour data” and other things not needed by FP helped A LOT. Table went from 270MB down to 160MB from that alone.
Even more craziness to come.
