      This is basically a mod of my Fathom vintage Mod, anyways all credits go to unclewilly and 32assassin, who made the ancestors of this one.

      Inspiration came first by pics from the web of some Fathom LED Pimped table with all those repro plasics, playfields and backglasses, which have a total different touch than the original. Plus I had some more ideas and I thought it’s a nice experiment.

      Table:

      – most changes you see anyways
      – changed the color scheme completely (blue, white and orange mostly)
      – made the bumper cup texture from scratch in PS
      – reworked and fine tuned all (mostly GI) lights and objects
      – recolored the previous playfield and plastics
      – apron modified
      – nicely baked in shadows to the playfield and plasics so nobody can use them in the future
      – environment map image that I got from Haunt
      – added ball and flipper shadows (Ninuzzu ?) inspired by Haunt
      – stole acorn nuts primitive from Ganjafarmer’s F-14 (we think it’s from dark?)
      – reworked plunger (rod, blue tip and blue spring)
      – blue wood on the right side
      – more polished ball image
      – and surely a lot of stuff I don’t remember now.

      Backglass:

      – it needed a new (repro like) one, because the look is completely different now
      – new image stitched together from nowadays repro translight images from the web
      – based on the backglass from teamtecnic (?). The only blink blink left is for the fathom logo (yes, authentic would be static illumination, but this is anyways a new interpretation, so)

      Wheel image:

      – made from scratch

      Clean recources for future use (playfield and plasic decals) are in the image manager (unused).

      It was an experiment.

      Oh, please use with latest VPX4 beta!

            Ah. There it is. Feels like forever since you posted those first WIP pictures. You vintage mod is a piece of art, so I have high expectations this time … :yes:

            I’m sure I’m not going to be disappointed :good:

                          thanks guys, could anybody please post a screenshot here? I saw laylows video and found some parts look really different than on my system.

                          I guess it’s the disable light from below feature, which was introduced lately and I use it in the four blue lane devider plasic primitives on top. Maybe doesn’t work correctly in his or my setup…

                                Update (1.1):

                                – “Underwater” GI (complex fading white and blue)

                                This was an idea from Haunt so in a way, this is dedicated to Haunt! Hope you are well and come back some day.

                                GI options for:
                                – all white (as it was before)
                                – all blue
                                – Underwater

                                I know you guys love to use the whole estate, but I like it slim and true, so I included my personal pov here.

                                          This mod looks really great! One question, how do I get FastFlips working with this table? The normal method of Solenoid=2 doesn’t seem to work and I couldn’t find another solution.

                                          Thanks.
