Barb Wire (Gottlieb 1996)

[Aurel]

Thanks guys ! New version 1.5 uploaded 

I’m very happy to share this update 1.5 because for the first time this table should be truly playable.
And in fact this pinball is very fun: many challenges, many multi-balls. I love it!  
Until now the way the BigFatso moved in all the previous versions was wrong enough to kill the game’s rules.
To be clear it plays and looks now far better than expected when I started to rebuild this table :)
But don’t expect to get one of the prettiest vpx tables: the ressources available for this pinball are very limited and not very good. Also I don’t have enough skill to do something really better than that.
– BigFatso would need to be modelized in 3D to look better and to allow a small transparency without having borders (it still looks slightly better using 4xSSAA)
– The “Contact Lens” toy is missing but I still don’t really understand how this toy works (useless btw)
– The sounds (mostly collisions) need to be improved.

Changelog :

– BigFatso’s moves should be now fixed and accurate (the game should be now fully playable for the first time!)
– Plunger bug (disappearing after autolaunch) should be fixed
– Flippers length have been reduced (but even like that the gameplay is still very easy)
– Left plastic ramp has been rebuilt to better match the original one.
– Wire ramps have been fully rebuilt to match the original ones
– Red bumper light L30 added and should work like the original one.
– Target S14 added
– Playfield flasher F23 added
– Playfield light L57 added
– Playfield light L50 fixed
– Slingshots animation added
– Left Magna-Save button added to access “Tournament”
– GI lights have been changed (not accurate but should look better)
– Some materials have been changed
– Some plastics have been improved again and reajusted
– The playfield graphics has be improved a little again
– A few mechanical parts have been added to look more “real”
– Some fixes everywhere
…

Enjoy

Thanks a lot guys :) From you both it means a lot! but I’m even more thankful for all the things you brough to us ;)

I did my best for this table, it took me a lot of time but it was very interresting. I was looking for this table for a very long time and I’m now very pleased to be able to play it in good conditions and share

I think I can’t really do more for this table now, to get something better it would have to be taken by a true vp artist ^^

It was so fun to work on Waterworld and BarbWire that I now want to take a look at Big House 

(this table needs more love and its ressources are very nices (and we have now a nice backglass!), it would take a lot of time but this one shouldn’t be very difficult in fact…)

Yeah. I agree with the other guys. You did a splendid job on this one. If you take upon yourself Big House, that would be awesome. There are so many great re-creations that Big House, has barely been played by me at all. And that normally means, something isn’t right. I’m a guy who is put off if the physics is really bad, or the machine isn’t working correctly. I of course love to have good looking tables, but, a ugly looking one, playing correctly and without some idiot destroying the physics with eg. rubbers feels like being 40 years++ old. Sure, I’ll play it.

I’m still working on it (I can’t stop lol ) and I finally  figure out how the contact lens toy works :)

So I did a simple primitive and it works perfect! 

Some other small adjustements have been made. The final release should come soon!

 

Here a gameplay video of the very last WIP version (unfortunately without sound… )
