Interesting. What’s that made out of? Most plumb bobs I’ve used are brass and not sure how conductive they’d be. But you could hang it from a length of wire like from a metal clothes hanger or wheel spoke and fabricate the ring out of an adjustable radiator hose clamp. You starting a wip thread??

As a hook, a modeled wire of appropriate thickness is sufficient, as a ring a large metal washer. When I’m finished and it will work properly – I’ll boast the final effect here :)
Cone found in nearest DIY store:

Cost about $2

I’ll be watching for an update. I highly recommend that you build your solution as close to a real bob as possible. If you don’t you will have problems adjusting both the height and the centering. There is a screw underneath the bob to fine tune the sensitivity. And the bracket on top is there so you can center it in the x or y direction and you can also bend the metal on top for the same reason – x or y. I should add, even though I had a finished product, it was not a 10 minute job getting it just right, so stealing some of the design is highly recommended. Your bob goes very fast from thin to very thick, so that means, if it just slip a mm, it will all of a sudden become quite a lot more sensitive.
Here is a link for you – once you’ve given up, or to look at while swearing

OK, I finally found time to take care of it. This is probably already a topic for another thread, I don’t know if I should continue it here at all? It looks like in the pictures. I had to remove a thick layer of paint from the cone for the signal to conduct properly. It is possible to easily adjust the height with a roman screw (earlier I used a thick wire but I think it was too swinging). Now the matter of configuration. So far everything works but reacts too restrictively. The cone is swinging a little and instead of initial warnings I have TILT right away on the first shake. It’s a matter of configuration now, probably. I read the article by MRJ here and it seems that it is not that simple: http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/BuildGuideV2/BuildGuide.php?sid=tilt. Did you also follow this instruction? How does your configuration look like?

I believe all you need to do to fix that tilt is to look in the scripts folder. You find many scripts there named *nudge*vbs – take the NudgePlugIn_mjrAccelAndTilt.vbs, and rename it to nudgeplugin.vbs, that is what the rest of the scripts are looking for, so once you renamed or copied it into the new name, correctly, it will automatically be activated and games with 2-3 warnings will work as you expect them to. I told you that your bob will be a bit hard to adjust, but, from the picture, you’ve seem to have done a better job than what I expected you to.

Yes, I’m just starting to play with the scripts. I think I’ll set it right now. Thanks for your help!

I ref. this earlier on vpforums. It might help you to use a 3M ear plug – even larger, if it is too sensitive to you. As I said, the steepness of the blumb itself isn’t to your advantage.

Hadn’t used a beta in a while, but damn if it isn’t ZIPPY! Switched over due to a few tables needing it, and Starship Troopers loads in <5 seconds. Just wild. Thanks for keeping up with this and making it great!
The transition was simple and seamless copying over the dir and files, but loading a table, I now see the ‘Preparing table’ loading bar focused over popper. It’s not a gamechanger, but curious if there’s anyway to curb that pesky little window. I run a clean machine and that lil’ guy decided to show up. I run popper FE, no admin on any .exe’s, and run Exclusive Fullscreen.
Pic of the culprit:
"Fuck this game. I love it."

Have a question
I know it’s a Beta, but
on most tables the plunger is very sluggish and slow to pull it off, is that normal or something has been adjustedThanks :mail

@darkknight : It’s a new option that is kind of turned on by default. The idea is that you will be able to do skill shots with it, and even cancel out.

Yeah. And I forgot to answer. I guess you’ve find it by now. It is a on/off switch under prefs -> keys, dof – a little bit up and left of the enable7disable db2sserver.

Hello again
I didn’t mean the loading bar but the bar where you can select the script and the backglass POV etc.

Hi All, Thanks for the new beta. I tried version 10.7 4442 today for first time. Looks very nice. I noticed a couple of problems that you might want to know about that may need fixing, or it may just be me missing something. When I quit out of the starship troopers table, the VPX editor screen is shown frozen and not responding, I have to ctrl alt del to close it, if I quit from a new or sample table it shuts vpx down completeley not giving a chance to save any table POV mods in the editor.  Any ideas?
Update I have overwitten the files with the 4439 release and it now closes to editor without a problem.
