Not to nag… but are there any updates on Cactus Jack’s or NGG? Or, if it is helpful, please consider this a nag

I’m married, so I’ve learned to tune out nagging.  Dancing cactus have been added to Cactus Jacks and scripted.  Still need to add Dark’s ramps and countless other little ornaments and trinkets.  NGG is painfully close to release except every time I’m about to release I see something else I’ve forgotten.  Almost close enough to start holding your breath, though.

Oh yeah, looking through this thread again reminded me I still need to make the cacti that go on top of the bumper caps – should be easy enough though.

CJ is exciting for me because not only is it a great table made by a great author but it’s a milestone table for VP since it was the issue of the cacti animation that prompted talks with fuzzel to implement the animated obj feature in VPX (10.2).  Bodydump has the cacti dancing nicely via script, just like the real thing, I just wish there could be a bit of a gradual slow down on the last cycle of animation as it comes to a stop but apparently it’s been a bit of a PITA to script already.

And playing this pin will probably be the only time I’ll be able to stand Polka music!  I’m definitely looking forward to this because, as Dark mentioned, a great table by a great author and also pretty much anything Dark touches is magic.

Hey hey Edizzle!  Good to see you still lurking about!
You’ll also notice that familiar “Waahoo” from a certain Mario table or two that Gottlieb had licensed rights to. :P

Here’s a test video of the cactus animations.  Dark created 3 different animations for each cactus.  It’s then scripted to randomly select one of six different animations with each solenoid call (3 animations at 2 different playback speeds) to give it a more natural random look.
