      It all started with a mod of @jbg4208 Kiss table to make the Miss World mod.  It ended up being a full rebuild and ever since I wanted to convert it back to Kiss.  Nfozzy’s physics, a full plastic set, new apron, all the primitives.   Thanks to wtiger over at VPF for the playfield image.  Thanks to @Thalamus for SSF work on this and Miss World and for play testing and QA.  Thanks to @Mlager8 for beautifying the plastics and apron decals and for the apron that will also be featured soon on…Hardbody! Please enjoy!

        What??  Did you make this table playable?

              I just noticed something and updated the table, if you already downloaded it, the two white light inserts below the right spinner, assign the image “Kiss PF” to both of them

                Wow.  Just did a quick load/play.  Where did this come from Tom?  Thought you were busy with a dozen other projects.  This is a very memorable table for goofs my age.  Thanks for making something I can finally share.

                  I literally just remembered I wanted to do it, Matt and I talked about it the other day and we knocked it out.  When Hardbody is done, we may just tackle Apollo 13…maybe B-)

                    Wow Tom, you’re really getting a hang of this! Thanks for this nice surprise, table looks great! Couple small issues I noticed after a few games: when the ball rolls through the center rollover it’s often sent right back up over and over racking up insane points (just finished a 1M+ game and normally struggle to get over 300K). I know this sometimes happens on the real table, but here seems too predictable, probably just need to adjust geometry a bit to add some randomness. Also getting some strange ball behavior on bounces from flipper rubbers in the up position; the bats seem to spring back with added force causing unexpected bounce trajectory. Other than these small issues really enjoying this version, thanks again to all involved, keep up the great work  :good:

                      Also thank you to jbg4208, Nfozzy, wtiger, Thalamus, Mlager8, the VPDevs and everyone else along the way….. :yes: :good: :yahoo: :good: :yes:

                        I also noticed the ball doing that in the center lane.  I have not played the real machine so don’t know how often or how long it usually happens.  Maybe some others that have played a lot can chime in and we can adjust on next version

                          My parents have the table and I played the crap out of it growing up. It might go up and down through that center lane a couple of time at most. maybe 3 if you’re lucky. Also the top lane rubbers need a lot more bounce. Also noticed the strange bounce from the flippers. The physics on my latest version were pretty spot on with my parents table and other youtube videos.  I know they all play a little different though.

                            Version 1.1 is up.  Thanks @mophead for catching the issues with the physics.  I left a crucial part out of the script to avoid “spongy” flippers when held in.  I believe that should fix that.  I also went back and fixed the bumper physics and they should be more random now.  Let me know what you think

                              1.2 is up.  Just saw your post @jbg4208.  I added collidable prims at the top of each lane instead of collidable rubber, should give more bounce.  Play on

                                What about Kiss music … is music included or how can I integrate Kiss music into the table?

                                  @timbolo : You download one of the music mods, read the script and go from there.

                                        Did…I see Apollo 13 mentioned?  Would love to play that table.  Never have.  What the heck is a moon ball grab?  This build looks tricky.  So..next week? ;)

                                            @Tom maybe you can get help from @Herweh for the Apollo Table :-)
