      BANGARAAANG!! Hook Table Tune-Up by members of VPin Workshop Discord. This one was supposed to be just a fast physics update, but we ended up rebuilding almost the whole table. Added some Flupper inserts, Skitso-style inserts, new flashers, Fleep SSF sounds, latest nFozzy physics, some new textures, Ramp rework, plastics, VRRoom, countless hours of tweaks and testing.

      –          Inserts: iaakki, Skitso

      –          nFozzy physics: Benji, iaakki

      –          Re-alignment: Sixtoe, Cyberpez, Skitso, iaakki

      –          Ramps: Tomate

      –          Fleep Sounds: iaakki

      –          Lighting: iaakki, Sixtoe, Skitso

      –          Plastics: Sheltemke, iaakki, Tomate, sixtoe

      –          VRRoom: Sixtoe

      –          Miscellaneous tweaks: Skitso, Cyberpez, iaakki, Sixtoe, Tomate

      –          Testing: Rik, VPW team

       

      This release would not have been possible without the legacy of those who came before us including, most notably, Javier and Dark. Thanks to all before us.

      Thank you to Flupper for 3D insert techniques. Thank you to Rothbauerw for nFozzy physics. Thanks you to Fleep for sounds.

        Another great release by you guys. Downloaded it yesterday off VPF I believe, and you guys did not disappoint. Thanks a lot.

          Indeed, you make “not so very interesting” tables (for my taste) to addictive ones…!!! Great job again, dudes, thanks a lot for sharing your passion!

            In general, I tend to shy away from mods.  I prefer my replicas to look and play as closely to the actual tables.  So, while they look/sound cool, I don’t go in for graphical/aural mods just for the sake of changing them.

            I’d love to understand something…   In the case of Vpin Workshop’s modding, I’d really like to understand the team’s goal.  Is it to make tables look and play more like their physical counterparts?  Or is it more about personal preference changes?  Or something else?

              Thanks for the hard work that went into this! Played it in VR and was blown away by the visuals. The lighting (LUT?) works really well and gives this table the right atmosphere. Now I want to rewatch the movie!

                  Excellent work, VPW! Looks better than it ever has and I love the roth/nfozzy physics, especially.

                    “Mod” just means “Modification of another vpx version”, not modification or altering from the real machine. so this is a “Mod” of Javiers VPX version to update it using all the tricks we’ve learned ;)

                      Excellent work. Definitely an underrated table.

                            So VPW’s original point was just to include NFozzy physics to tables. That single thing(although being quite complex) makes these tables so much better. We got a bit carried away.. Going into details like that ball bounces on flip, when you spam the other flip. Easy way to slow it down and this works on some real cabinets. And we always try to make it look, play and sound as original as possible. There is something really epic stuff in the works and this Hook was just something that we had to get out now.

                            For our releasing method. We’d like that the original table authors could release our version as an update to their version. Most of the time we end up releasing as a separate mod, especially if the original author is not that active anymore. Mod releases are just waste of rows in the spreadsheet and every one should really think it through before releasing one.

                              I very much appreciate those responses!  Exactly what I wanted to hear!  I’m just generally turned off by other mods where the mods are more “I really think blue flippers look better than the original red” or “This music is so much cooler than the original.”  That kind of thing.  Or the worse ones “I made it better” without details what exactly was made “better.”

                              Anyway, I’m in!!!  Can’t wait to give this one a go!

                              Thanks again!

                                For some reason no music is present in my 501 rom.
                                Setting volume with ~ doesn’t make a difference.
                                Odd.

                                EDIT : I think I figured it out. 501 has the music modded out for PUPPack use.
                                EDIT2 : Uhmm, nope. Not that.

                                  I need VPW to make VR versions of every table!

                                  Your releases are really impressive, thanks so much.

                                        For some reason the setLUT option in the script doesn’t work for me. It always defaults to the dark natural tint no matter what option I choose. Using magsav works but I want it to be set as default. Anybody else having this problem ?

                                          The Vpin Workshop did a fantastic job on this game

                                          Hopefully the LUT will be fixed in the update when they do one
                                          You’re going need some or all of the other hook roms to get the sound

                                            If you want to change the lut. Then just disable the selector in the script, pick the one you want in the background dropdown. The routine is using LUT_x_7 – so if you want the first one LUT_1_7 … sencond LUT_2_7 etc.
