Hardbody (Bally 1987)

Please read before installation/ and also read the changelog tab to see the difference between versions:

Rom not included, if you don’t have it google two words….pinball….and the second word is the best alternative grunge rock band of my generation.

Place included hardbody.nv file in your vpinmame/nvram folder

Thanks to Matt, Mlager8, for teaming up once again to bring you Hardbody.  Original playfield from Tab on VPF, Matt took both and worked his magic to make them look even better, We did a lot of work to get this table not only playing smoothly but looking great.  Matt did all the chrome walls and ramps in Maya and they look amazing.  Lots of play testing and sound work by Thalamus, thanks again.

To get the ramps to go up you have to complete all 4 sections and hit the inner loop when the white arrow is lit.

This table had flex flippers that are assigned to magnasave buttons.  They will automatically trigger if the rollovers are hit also.  Once they are hit, they take a few seconds to reset for use again.

Thanks to all contributors:

32assassin: Converting to VPX and initial scripting

Thalamus:  All the sounds, SSF, extensive play testing

Randr:  Scripting the ramps

Cyberpez:  scripting the back target wall reflections

Mlager8:  Primitive ramps, Apron, playfield, plastic artwork, rendered walls, translite, etc

Wildman:  for updating b2s over at VPU

Looking forward to spending time with this tonight.  Thanks for all the work that went into this Tom! …and team!!  I’m very curious to see what Ward Pemberton was up to here.  He has a short list of table designs credited to him but Fathom?  Mousin’ Around?  Guy knew how to design a table.  I have a feeling there’s some fun game-play in this table.  …and I’m off tomorrow so I’m off to discover it.  Will be up late.

Thanks again!!

Very nice Tom

Friends will be happy with the nice new Table – and the Girl’s Voices

Very cool with the Flex Flippers too, reminds me also on “Dungeons and Dragons” – great Table, but no VPX

Hello.
Thank you for the wonderful table.
In desktop mode, a yellow light appears at the top of the left side rail.
Is this correct?
I want to hide it, but I don’t know where this light is.

Thanks a lot Matt and Tom for a great re-creation. This one you can be very proud of.

I’m extra stoked in that I’m going to play the real machine in about 2 weeks time and you guys have given me the tool and head start over everyone that isn’t local to where the tournament is held.
