Frontier (Bally 1980)

Frontier (Bally 1980)

Here is my first table release. Bally’s 1980 classic Frontier. We have one locally and it is a lot of fun. I tried to match the physics to how the actual table plays. If you tweak it and it plays better let me know.

Needs VPX 10.2.

I’m pretty green at this so let me know what is broken and I’ll work on getting it right.

Thanks to gtxjoe, dark, cyberpez, kiwi, sliderpoint, 32assassin, hauntfreaks and others who have been incredibly helpful as I’ve learned to build tables. Trust me, I’m nowhere near done asking questions…

B2s available at VPF.

Great stuff.  Looks nice!

You could stand to add a couple more lines to handle proper pause/exit:

-Mike

 

Sub table1_Paused:Controller.Pause = 1:End Sub
Sub table1_unPaused:Controller.Pause = 0:End Sub
Sub table1_Exit:Controller.Stop:End Sub

Nice work on this table.. Thank you for all your efforts..

 

Hey, also if you look at my playboy table it has the 3D white lain guids with a Bally logo on them.. I think this table uses them too. Feel free to grab them from my build and credit hauntfreaks as I got them from him..

thanks another suggestion,

you have DOF,  but you also have the solenoid enabled sounds for the bumpers and slingshots.

if you turn on DOF  you will still have system sounds unless you comment out the solenoid sounds

comment out the solenoid sounds and add this to your code

‘Bumpers

Sub sw38_Hit : vpmTimer.PulseSw 38 : playsound SoundFX(“fx2_bumper_1”,DOFContactors): End Sub

Sub sw39_Hit : vpmTimer.PulseSw 39 : playsound SoundFX(“fx2_bumper_2”,DOFContactors): End Sub

Sub sw40_Hit : vpmTimer.PulseSw 40 : playsound SoundFX(“fx2_bumper_3”,DOFContactors): End Sub

 

same thing  for the knocker.

SolCallback(6) = “vpmSolSound SoundFX(“”fx_knocker””,DOFKnocker),” ‘sKnocker

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

Excellent. This is the kind of input I need. Will add to 1.1

Cool. I saw some photos with and some without and didn’t know what was authentic. I have a feeling the Bally ones are original. Thanks, I’ll grab them from the Playboy table.

Very good work Bord. One of my favourite tables of all time you have produced a great version. I just put in about an hours playing time and it feels very real.

looks really great for a first table :)

i noticed the flippers are not aligned with the flipper lanes, so the ball will not slide when going from the flipper lanes to the flipper lanes, this prevent to make accurate shots, sorry i don’t have a good position to suggest to fix this

Nice table. Thanks.

But the ball doesn’t jump on the flipperbats. He falls like a stone. What I have to change in the physics, to resolve this?

A bit confused, the file size and date are same as one I have, no change at all.

9/27/16 dated?

1968 - 1991 seems to be my favorite ERA of pinball machines.

Make sure you’re selecting the right file.

Is there a way to just eliminate the old file?

Must have been tired, got package.zip this time with both, thanks! Really nice table didn’t want to miss out.

 

Also, this one has HIDDEN =   to adjust to get missing DMD for Desktop.
