      Thanks for the compliments guys. Fun to see you Robert, talking about eerie visuals, much because of you, physics, again, stolen stuff, from Roth. I feel like a real Pirate -yarrrn. Still open for feedback on the mist mb. I did try some things yesterday, not valid for a update and not tested enough, but, if you are struggling with that happening, again, I would like to know. I will QC play it a couple of days and share it with anyone that struggles with that problem – if it looks promising on my end.

          Don’t focus on Dracula alone. If you manage to train a little bit so that your percentage of those ramps are getting higher, you will stand a much higher chance of killing him and his wife(s). Those ramps are very important to get good at. A good carrot is trying to beat your own loop champion.

              The second error is probably because of the first one.

              For the NoUpperRightFlipper to work, you have to update VP, and I recommend updating Pinmame too while your at it.

                  Then you haven’t been a good boy and kept your tables folder clean of old *.vbs scripts. Probably core.vbs as this was added a few revisions back. core.vbs should ONLY be found in scripts folder – period ! Maybe you’re one of the guys that doesn’t upgrade their scripts folder .. when updating ? If so, big mistake.

                  Clean any *.vbs from any vp folder you find, anywhere, put them into the vp scripts folder. Then download 10.7 beta again. Take all the *.vbs files you find in that archives scripts folder and put them into the VP scripts folder – overwriting them all, and you should be good. If you have ssf, you will get a great sound improvement by doing so too.

                        Well, if you have 7.1 output on your computer. You can add more speakers and get surround sound – that is the basic short version. There should be enough info in more details searching the subject.

                          Thanks for this Dracula version @thalamus. Looks and plays very nice.

                          Had some problems to “get warm” with nfozzy´s flipper physics in this table; i think it´s working alright and as it should.

                          Sometimes the ball seems a bit to lightweighted. Not the ballmass as reason (must be 1.0 i for this flipper physics) but take a look if the ball gets bounced between flippers and slingsshots. Most times the ball gets out so fast and your eyes even can´t notice it and the ball seems to be very light in this moment.

                          I am back on cab playing and testing (something with allover rubber friction).

                          Once more … thank you ;-)

                            I agree with your observations. I’ve been fiddling with the physics, tweaking it back and forth for a long time and I had already decided that I would release it the day before I ripped all the physics ( which was already stolen from RothFozzy, just with differnt profile and with me changing it a bit from the “recommended” ) to a different setup. After that I had many good games and it felt better than what I had.

                            What I’m getting at is that this isn’t exactly where I wanted the physic to end up, but, god damn close and better than what I had. As it plays now, I’m happy with it, maybe some day, and the way I do things. Jumping in, tweaking here and there in a bit chaotic fashion some day will move it further in the direction where I want to. But, I kind of gave up on for now and decided that it was close enough and wanted to share what I at least enjoyed immensely.

                            There will be a update coming. Currently planned, late this week or maybe early next week. I’m trying to get rid of the issue that a few of you have had with mist mb. ( not many – but, I hate to leave it like this if I can actually find a fix ) and @LOstSOul have given me a great pf replacement and some updated gi lights that we’re going to implement. I currently haven’t planned any changes, except these two. But, who knows. I just haven’t played the table enough after the changes I did just before the release – which I guess the “failing” slingshot problem was a proof of.

                                No problem. Yesterday evening i was trying some things with allover rubber settings & frictions and something else. Had a bit luck; but nothing to compare here. Need more time to take a closer look and to understand whats happening there sometimes. Not so easy …

                                Anyway: it´s an awesome table :rose:

                                  Fun Fact – Easter Egg

                                  When the ball goes into that marked left hole and the DMD shows the animation, press a flipper button to see an additional animation and collect another 5.000.000 points.

                                      Changes 1.1 :

                                      – modified sling, scatter angles and rubber settings by @kds70.
                                      – stole more stuff, ball shadow from Kiwi, you might have to tune them depending on your LUT preferences.
                                      – all new playfield from @LOstSOul.
                                      – yellow flippers from @LOstSOul (script option).
                                      – defaults now to slings without decoration (script option)
                                      – finally fixed the slings. I hope :)
                                      – tried to fix the mist multiball. I know some have never had isses. I think it is a timer issue, seeing two different things depending on how powerful of machine it is run on. Hope I didn’t mess it up for those that it was working for. If it does – let me know.
                                      – fixed some sounds I had planned to implement.
                                      – provided the original pf image, if you want to swap back. Open table manually. Go to table -> image manager in the menu, scroll down to dracula_new_pf, now press the “Reimport from” button. Now pick the attached playfield image.

                                      A special thanks to robertms, @vogliadicane, the vp devs and Dozer. All of which I forgot to mention in the original release.

                                        There was 1 thing i were not 100% happy with the previous version: the inserts looks.

                                        Now it’s perfect with the new playfield.

                                        Thank you so much for this masterpiece Thalamus :) I will play this a lot i’m sure.

                                            You right, not read the entire changelog yet.

                                            Thank you so much L0stS0ul too for the new playfield :)
