Jungle Lord VPX WIP

[Tony The Wrench]

I am quite the novice when it comes to building a table, but I decided to take a stab at it, learning how all of you great table authors create your fantastic recreations…I learned really quickly that I value and respect all of your hard work, because it is NOT as easy as it looks!

Here is a pic of my current progress on a VPX version of Jungle Lord I have been working on…

 

I used images and textures from a Future Pinball version of the table to give this build a cleaner and brighter look compared to what is available

I still need to work on the GI lighting, and the scripting of the table in general…

If you feel this looks like a build with potential, please feel free to offer any input that may help me complete this build easier as my understanding of writing script for tables is very limited

Ok I’ve been able to wing it by using the script from VPX Black Knight table by JPSalas as a template, but I have hit a roadblock, I have no idea how to script the saucers that initiate the kicker in the mini bagatelle in the corner of the upper playfield, if anyone can help me, I will appreciate it, and you will be rightfully credited.

Script so far is in attachment

You referring to the kickers? you would need to use primitives and add the actuator in there as a primitive and animate the z axis during un hit. but maybe you are talking about something else?

My bad, I was indeed referring to the kickers, one at the top of the right ramp and one in the top right of upper playfield…when you hit it, the ball is held and a separate ball is launched up from a third kicker in the mini-bagatelle on the upper left, after the ball goes down a L O R D lane, the ball in play gets kicked out of the kickers I mentioned.  I looked at other scripts from the vp9 versions of JL that I found, but can’t make any sense of it

Thank you for the input everyone has given me so far…I have made progress but still have some issues…I am now able to trigger the ball launching in the mini bagatelle in the upper corner, but it ends up kicking 2 balls, instead of just 1…and I need to find a way to make the ball inside the mini bagatelle smaller than the main tables default ball size

the current script I have for the kickers is…

Sub Kicker1_Hit:LowerKicker.AddBall 0:End Sub

Set LowerKicker = New cvpmBallStack
LowerKicker.InitSaucer Kicker1,39,306,11
LowerKicker.KickAngleVar=2

Sub Kicker2_Hit:UpperKicker.AddBall 0:End Sub

Set UpperKicker = New cvpmBallStack
UpperKicker.InitSaucer Kicker2,38,270,2
UpperKicker.KickAngleVar=5

Sub MiniKicker(Enabled)
Kicker3.CreateBall
Kicker3.Kick 0, 10
Playsound “fx_solenoid”
End Sub

Sub UpperEnter_Hit
UpperEnter.Destroyball
UpperExit.CreateBall
UpperExit.Kick 180, 7
End Sub

Sub Drain_Hit:Playsound “fx_drain”:bsTrough.AddBall Me:End Sub

Attached is a pic with arrow pointing at the ball in the kicker triggering the mini bagatelle kicker, and another arrow pointing at the 2 balls that are too large in the minibagatelle

Any help is appreciated, I just want to make this work so I can contribute to the community

I have been able to script the table so it only kicks one ball into the mini bagatelle….now the only thing I have lacking is a way to make the ball on the mini bagatelle smaller, if I can accomplish that, I will be golden!

and then back to

Cont Ballsize = 50

Can anyone in the community help me find a suitable sound effect for the “Horn” sound (ex. it occurs when you hit a LORD letter you already have lit)…and the corresponding solenoid, plus the solenoid that is linked to the GI lighting, cause I would like them to turn off when the LORD Mini Bagatelle is triggered as it does in videos I have viewed, any help and input is appreciated

Thank you all in advance

Here is an update of my progress, I would like any interested people to test this table out and let me know what needs to be fixed/improved….if you would like to test it, send me a message please

GI lighting is just static, and there is no script written for ball rolling sounds or collision etc.

Still looking for a bike horn sound effect as well

Here is Jungle Lord VPX  v1.0

Must use VP10.1 or higher

Artwork taken from Francisco666 Future Pinball table

Script is a combination of old VP9 Script from Kristian’s table, and JPSalas’ VPX version of Black Knight (Since they share the same Williams S7 system)

Drybonz did some testing for me (thanks for coming forward with the offer)…and I incorporated some of his suggestions for the lighting

Still missing some sounds, and I’m not entirely happy with the ramps…but it’s not bad for my first attempt at building, its hard following in the footsteps of such giants!

Enjoy, and please help improve upon the table in anyway possible
