      Great job on this one!

      I think someone forgot about the ramp decals though?

        For the coffin targets. Take a look at how they did on “The Pinball Arcade”. It appears that their is a part  that flips open. Hard to describe, put its clear on TPA.

          “Monster Slide decals;  if anyone has a source please let me know.  the only ones I have are from the VP9 version and the quality of the images are not worth my time.”

          He didn’t forget he’s just looking for better images.

            I found two problems: the hithight of all rubbers should be exactly the half of the ball size, in this case 25. At the moment some rubbers are at 25, some at 30 and some at 35 – why? That does not work correctly, the ball behaves weird when moving on the rubbers with the incorrect hitheight.

            The plunger is too long (I would recommend 150 instead of 180) and the mechanical strenght is way too strong, 50 or 55 should be enough.

              As I noticed several problems while playing I checked the table  more thoroughly.

              So I corrected some guide walls (never saw this made with ramps by the way), which prevented the ball from moving how it should in some areas. Also corrected all rubbers. And I corrected the ramps – a lot of inaccuracies there like gaps or not exactly connected parts. Adjusted the strength of the bumpers and the angle of the flippers just a little bit. Made the side rails for the fs version invisible (if you need them just make them visible again). Added a balldrop sound for the ramp exits. May I did some more, can not remember at the moment.

                One last correction: revised the slingshot rubbers and some other rubbers on posts. And added some missing posts. Corrected some other small things to ensure original gameplay.

                Same link as above.

                One thing remaining in the construction: the primitive wire ramp in the right looks a little bit twised in the middle. And the plastic ramp (monster slide) looks a little bit blocky, especially in the curves. Would be nice to correct these things.

                And maybe we find the monster slide decal, otherwise I would use the old one. Better than without a decal…

                  That’s great Clark, but I don’t think you were working off the latest (1.1) version which had some fixes in it.

                    Hm… I also didn’t realize there was a 1.1.  Thanks for pointing that out.

                      Changes from 1.1 integrated. Moreover I noticed some small problem which I corrected – I think this should play perfect now.

                      I’m only trying to get the ramp decals then this table should be finished, I think.

                      32assassin if you want, you can make this the new official version. Not necessary to mention me.

                        all my tables automatically hide the desktop components for easy DT to FS switching,  their is no need for you to manually hide anything

                         

                        If DesktopMode = True Then ‘Show Desktop components

                        Ramp16.visible=1

                        Ramp15.visible=1

                        Primitive13.visible=1

                        Else

                        Ramp16.visible=0

                        Ramp15.visible=0

                        Primitive13.visible=0

                        End if

                         

                        if you are using FS all you need to do is go to

                        Video Preferences –> Video Options –>  Make sure  “Use always FS ”  is checked on.

                        the side rails and primitive cab will be hidden.

                        see a table you like help me find the resources so that I can finish it

                          Pretty nice, thanks!.

                          I would suggest changing the plunger pull speed to 0.25 instead of 1 so those of us playing desktop or without analog plunger have a little more control over the plunge.

                            *edit*  I moved my plunger questions here so I wouldn’t screw up 32assassin’s thread:

                              Im having some trouble with the kicker up top. Sometimes it kicks and the ball just rolls down the table, other times it works fine, but some other times it kicks and the ball seems to vanish and then re-appear above the lanes.

                                    Thanks so much for the table, 32a. The lighting under the plastics, especially under Elvira sitting atop the tomb on the lower left, is really beautiful.

                                        The update is great. Thank you, Hauntfreaks! Clark, your version plays nicely, too. I had lots of fun with both this evening. The lighting on this table is awesome! I love that it seems to come from real bulbs, spreading outward from there. Very artistic.

                                        This is one of the few VPX tables that’s giving me stutter with my 750ti. I experimented with tons of different video settings over the course of four hours with no luck. The Monster Slide ramp especially. Ball gets real choppy as it twists and turns down that ramp. Maybe because this is coinciding with lots of lights firing at once (?) Gameplay is butter smooth when ball is on playfield.

                                        In the last version, the ball was getting caught on rubbers and sort of spinning on top of them (with posts) at times. That’s not happening with this build.

                                        Gameplay seems smoother on this table in windowed fullscreen vs. forced real fullscreen.

                                        It’s totally fun to play as is, even with a bit of stutter. This is a killer table! Thanks you guys.

                                        :)

                                            Thanx for using my fixes for your latest release! :) You only forgot to import the red peg texture for the posts I added).

                                            The side rails hiding in FS mode does not work here. I’m using the option in the video options but it still does not work. But that’s no big problem – I’ve just hidden them again… ;)
