Bram_Stokers_Dracula_Thal_mod

First and foremost. This is just a mod of ICPJuggla’ re-creation of BSD.  I
absolutely love that game, but, since it was created, VP has evolved and that
is why I release this mod.

I orignally started modifying this table privately a long time ago. My main
goal was to change its physics to play closer to a machine in Oslo, it was a
bit worn, and I wanted to try to get that feeling. In the end though. It has
become more or less a blueprint copy of another release. It just plays so much
better than what I’ve been able to create.

This table originally came from FP, by Francisco666 and Rom.  It was converted
to VP by ICPJuggla and he had some helpers in great names like Tom Tower, Zany,
Ninuzzu, Bodydump and Ezepov.

I haven’t worked with any of these, but, instead stolen shamelessly from the
following guys especially.

DjRobX
Modulated flashers, and of course thank you for all the magic you do elsewhere.

Rothbauwerw
Hell, most of the stuff that makes me want to release it.

nFozzy
Hope you are doing well, we miss you and your expertise.

Dark
Haven’t stolen prims for this table itself, but, tips in forums and PMs for
sure.

Fleep
Great collection of sound samples, stolen a few.

Flupper
Totally ripped you code for LUT, and other stuff in forums.

Kiwi
Rolling code and great information in forums.

Schreibi34
Your prerendered insert images came in handy.

JPSalas
Don’t think I used your expertise on this release, but, I’ve learned a lot
from you.

Bord
Haven’t done any 3D in this, but, without you sharing your knowledge, I would
not have understood a few of the tasks needed.

ICPJuggla
For making this great table in the first place.

Randr
What can I say. Without you, there would be no vpinball.com site, my #1 VP
site.

I hope I didn’t leave anyone out, but, I fear I might. There are so many great
guys in our community, it is hard to keep track of you all, especially since
I’m that kind of guy that fixes one thing, then leave it for a long time and
then change something else.

BSD is a game where stacking of the multi-balls is very important in order to
get to those really high scores. Many of you have probably seen this video
before, but, I want to share this video for anyone that missed probably the
most exciting IFPA World Championship finals ever.

I urge you guys to try to hold back on activating those multiballs until they
are ready. And remember, if all goes to … you will on the last ball most
probably have Mist mb lit. Also, during rats and bats, play fast paced as
switches completes those modes and yeah, bumpers are great for that.

I’ve included a altcolor that I prefer to use, and also a nvram with reset HSD.

This release will play differently from the original, so a reset seems to me to
be the best way to go about it. I personally recommend that you go into the rom
and set video mode to a harder level.

I hightly recommend Wildman’ db2s for this

Nice! Have become interested in that table lately, like to see your physics set and how that plays. Thanks for sharing!

Don’t know how much of this physics I can take credit for anymore to be honest. Only yesterday this played quite different, much harder, but I had already promised myself to try Roth’s settings and when I did, I could not really go back. Also, now, time has passed and I don’t really any longer remember how that Oslo machine played. I hope I get the chance to play it soon. Getting so fed up with this pandemic. I want to play some real machines now.

Hey, it’s released! I know this has gotten revisions for the better part of a year if not more. A good example of how to add a ton of value before releasing something as a mod. Thanks, @thalamus!

Thanks Thalamus. BSD is a superb game and Mist multiball is still one of the better “gimmicks” in pinball.  Looking forward to trying this later today.
