Bad Cats (Williams 1989) VPin Workshop

The flipper lag I’m experiencing makes this version unplayable.  Going back to version 1

Of course, my POV works in cabinet mode.

The table is very nice, but i get this error after some minutes playing. Where is the problem?

Good finding! This is from legacy code side that we have broken accidentally. I’m already preparing a fix version that has this problem solved. We haven’t been able to reproduce this in our various systems, but replacing this sub at line 1429 should fix it:

Sub SolGION(enabled)
    FlippersEnabled = Enabled
    If enabled then
        GIActive=1:SolGI 1
    else
        GIActive=0:SolGI 0
        if leftflipper.startangle > leftflipper.endangle Then
            if leftflipper.currentangle < leftflipper.startangle then leftflipper.rotatetostart : end if
        elseif leftflipper.startangle < leftflipper.endangle Then
            if leftflipper.currentangle > leftflipper.startangle then leftflipper.rotatetostart : end If
        end If
        if rightflipper.startangle > rightflipper.endangle Then
            if rightflipper.currentangle < rightflipper.startangle then rightflipper.rotatetostart : end if
        elseif rightflipper.startangle < rightflipper.endangle Then
            if rightflipper.currentangle > rightflipper.startangle then rightflipper.rotatetostart : end If
        end If
    end if
 End Sub

Hi, You could try experimenting with the flipper physics parameters. NFozzy flips brings some slowness as they make flippers to work in similar manner as in real cabinets. The script alters some parameters on fly too. I tested these values on another table we are modifying, and they felt a bit faster. Tap passes and Live catch worked pretty well, so they are not that far off althoug being totally different. We probably bring this as a script option:

Hi, Sorry for the following dummy question. First of all, this table is a pure beauty, a work of Art! Congratulations and thanks for your time and efforts! The difficulty I am having is that I can’t properly “aim” with the flippers, the ball is going rather left or right versus the direction I want it to go to. I don’t have any “lag” as mentioned here, yet, this is the only table where I experience this problem, e.g. version 1.0 of Bad Cats works fine as well. What am I doing wrong?

This version of Bad Cats uses nFozzy physics, that makes flips to work more like in real cabinet. There is a coil ramp up, which makes it possible to shoot with less power too. Shooting is different than in table using FastFlips, that is in use in most of the tables. It may take time to adapt to these flips; similar way that it takes time to adapt to shoot in real cabinet. And each real cabinet has different feeling too, so one needs to play few rounds, before being able to shoot consistently to wanted targets when swapping cabinets in Arcade place. :)

hi everyone,

table plays super, but I get a black playfield :(

I also get the black playfield using x-men, walking dead and some other tables.

Using the setting with F5, everything seems fine and visible, but after starting the games the playfield disappears.

I also tried to fix the image and even replace it. Still black.

Could anybody tell me what I am doing wrong, please?

Thanks for your support and all these fantastic tables.
