one further thing if someone could clarify. when I installed vp6 I chose the 32-bit file instead of the 64 bit my computer runs on. does that matter and is there any advantage to using the 64-bit file?
thanks

First of all. Don’t go for VP9 or PM5 and absolutely not VP8 or older if you have a VPX alternative. The rules on those games might be correct, but, they don’t play very well compared. You use VP995 for VP9 tables ( extention is vpt ). You use the PM5 executable for tables that has vpt extetion too. But, the name of the table is kind of the only way to know that you need to used the PM5 exe for them. Then there is of course vpx ext for VPinball10 or VPX as we like to shorten it to. Believe the installer gives you VP8 too. And well, to be honest, for reasons explained. I haven’t touched any in years, so I don’t know.
Thank you for your explanation

This is an article from 2017 – so, the VPX beta is a bit newer, but the rest still applies. I recommend that you try to follow the tutorial and once you get it to work you should be ready to repeat it for Cyclone https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=tutorials&article=160
This is the newest “all-in-one” installer, and you pick VPX6setup.zip after you’ve pressed that Download button. ( in case you haven’t already ).

Hey bud, I know you came over to VPX just for this table, and after I installed it, I edited the bumper sounds, the ball, and a couple other small nuisances. Here is a link to the table with the edits to get you started. I run 4k so you will have to resize to your playfield. Hopefully this will help you get a better ball for export and notice some of the changes that can be made to suit your needs! Enjoy.
I will delete this link tomorrow.
thanks, Brandon it’s much better and very accurate to this table of which was very common in the UK in the nineties. I’ve always liked the Williams tables not sure as to why. bally tables also are very good. as for the other tables manufactures I don’t ever remember seeing in the UK but am sure they’re just as good.

The ball image can be either a “image” or default ( generated ). You can get ball from other tables or internet or whatever. Since you are a noob. Get another image from another table. You obviously already found the dialog box inside the editor. So, get another table. Then open it – go the dialog box of the table if you like what it gives you and look at what is is named ( or if it is generated ( default )). Then go to image manager and export the picture. For the table you want to change. Import. Save and exit, then open it up again ( best way not to be confused ) then use the dialogbox ( dropdown ) to pick the new imported image.
Doesn’t look what the other table had ? Welcome to VP, there is a huge amount of parameters that decides who it will look in the end. One of them is the table env. That can sometime change everything. But, sometime, it is something to play with as well.
What I’ve learned is that we see things differently in our community. Some like lights that are way to bright from the real thing. Others, seems to love tables where you hardly see the ball. Of course, I have my preferences, but they do NOT fit everyone. Your preferences will most probably not fit everyone either. What I’ve learned though is that those guys that have worked with VP for many years OR have some graphical education or long time experience in the area most of the time are able to do things I’m far from being able to create ( or modify ).
Fun topic name – has some info that us still useful :)
many thanks very enlightening :)

My responses are delayed for some reason. I am glad that you stuck it out, it will be worth it in the end. The ball glowing is something new recently. I have noticed that more since 10.6. Click on options, ball, and set reflection of playfield lower to like 2
damnit JR beat me to it, I am on vacation and my Internet sucks
thanks, tom.
the ball is now not so bright but it still has a slight shimmer? jr said something about getting another ball from somewhere? if a novice can do that then sure I will give that a try

I also have that issue. A quick fix until one of the more knowledgeable minds chimes in is to go into the table editor and find Ball Image – and set Reflection of Playfield and Default Bulb intensity to 0. I also bumped down the night/day scale a couple notches. The ball looks like crap but the halo is gone. I imported a different ball that looks much better…so that option is there to play with as well. But I have a feeling there is a different adjustment buried somewhere that is beyond me. If you like Cyclone be sure to check out the kindred tables available on this site – Bord or Sliderpoint’s Comet get both! and Herweh’s Hurricane. Love these tables!
thanks
let’s hope someone can see if that excessive light on the ball can be reduced.

Do a search here in the table download for a table older than say 1976 and try that out. They don’t use roms. Also take the cyclone table out of the table folder and place it on your desktop and then try and run it. Let’s see what happens
Thanks tom
i think ill leave it now it’s working fine and concentrate on enjoying playing. also trying to get rid of the excess light from the ball if possible?

thanks very much for your help. as for the game itself, it’s very good albeit the ball is very bright with what looks like its lit up. hopefully will be able to find a way to get rid of the excess light?You need to login in order to like this post: click here
