  3. RoboCop - Dead or Alive Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)

    RoboCop - Dead or Alive Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)

    Version 1.3 (Feb 2024)
     
    Original table build by: ROM
    Ultimate Pro update by: SLAMT1LT
    Dead or Alive Edition, PinEvent Lite, FizX update by: TerryRed
     
     
    SLAMT1LT did a massive update to Rom's original build of this table years ago for his Ultimate Pro update which completely changes this to a new game. New gameplay / rules / code, new sounds / voices / music, new lighting effects, new videos and more.
     
    I love RoboCop, so I really wanted to add my own bit of flair to this amazing table. I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).
     
    I've also overhauled this table and modernized it to my own preferences for lighting, shadows, FizX physics, new art, and more. I added some new features and added many fixes that prevented game progression, etc. This makes an already great game look / sound / play absolutely amazing. I love it!
     
     
     

     
    This table has been fully updated with FizX physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!
     
     
    PinEvent Lite
     

     
     
    I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).
     
    PinEvent Lite features for this table:
     
    DOF (basic config, no custom animated effects... yet) PUP (simple backglass and speaker grill options) PUP SSF Night Mode TILT BOB  
    NOTE: PinEvent Lite tables do NOT have PUP-Pack options that include support for PUPDMD / videos / modern text, etc. That will come at a later date, when the table is upgraded to PinEvent V2.
     
     
    DMDExt
     
    Cabinet users will need to use DMDExt to mirror the FP DMD to their DMD display / real DMD. Read the included Install Instructions for more info and links on how to do this.
     

     
     
     
     
     
    For an EPIC video preview of this table's updates and new features, and a gameplay demo of almost all modes, check out this video:
     
     
     
     
     
     
    Thanks of course to these awesome contributors:
     
    ROM – original table build
    SLAMT1LT – Ultimate Pro update

    an original future pinball table,based on Star Wars by George Lucas and 20th Century fox' films.
     Table rules; Lighting, "D.A.R.T.H."and "M.A.U.L."(by hitting  targets on the left or right side),will  light specials in the very top  kickerhole.(Note: Special only lasts 90 seconds, and if you hit Darth Maul in the roto-spinner, specials will end.You have to start over again).
     Lighting "P.R.O.B.E." (by hitting star targets(scattered around top center,and bumpers) ,will light a 60 second bonus chance, and if you hit the Emperer in the roto-spinner, the bonus chance  will end.You have to start over again,otherwise the roto spinner targets give 10 to 100 points.)
     Getting all the targets under the blue star holograms, also give's a bonus chance.
     replay scores on the table card.
    (background music includes some great midi renditions of John Williams Star Wars classics).
    (It's a fun table and with some new holograms.)

  9. Medieval Castle (Original) (SSF, FizX 3.3) (Versions included for Desktop, 2 and 3 Monitor Cabinets and VR)

    In order to read the description for Version 1.2, you have to click on the "Permission to Mod" tab.  
     
    Version 1.1 Description:
     
    This table is a little-known gem.  I know that some of you avoid original tables like the plague but Roney Pinball created something here that is really special.  This is one of the first tables I found when I first started playing Future Pinball more years ago that I care to mention.  I played it for many hours.  Everything about it just feels right for medieval knights and castles.  It is very immersive and transports you to a bygone era of chivalry, castles, and epic battles.  The sound effects are particularly good.  The dynamic soundtrack includes the sounds of swords clashing, horses galloping, and dungeon echoes.  When I replayed it before creating this modification, I could not hear the flipper sounds because they were overpowered by other sounds so I knew I had my work cut out for me. 
     
    Note: Be sure you read the "Must Read" sections below and all the text in bold print. 
     
    The following video demonstrates the unique features of Medieval Castle and has a short bit of game play:
     
     
    BAM – Must Read
     
    This table requires BAM version 1.5-373 or later for it to perform as intended and to not crash or generate error messages.  This version was released on 1/28/24 and you must have it installed for FizX 3.3 to work.  You can download it here:
     
    https://www.ravarcade.pl/download
     
    Zip File – Must Read
     
    There is a zip file included in the download.  It contains the model of a ball with 1K polygons.  Do not unzip the zip file.  Just save it with the same name as the table and place it in the same folder as the table.  If you don't use it, the physics won't be correct.  Some end users have added the zip file to their BAM folder so it works on all tables.  If you have done this, you can delete the zip file in the download.
     
    DOF and PUP SSF
     
    I decided to add PinMechSound which is a first for me.  If you are not aware of what it is, it is a way for pinball cabinet users to add DOF and surround sound feedback (SSF) to their cabinets.  I think there is a way to add it to a desktop but I don't think it produces much benefit for my setup.  Debo26 was nice enough to test this table on his cabinet.  To make SSF work, you must add the PUP-Pack that is included in the download.  Copy "FP_PUP_SSF_GEORGE" to your PUPVideos folder.
     
    Just adding PinMechSound wasn't enough for the sound, however.  The sound was not balanced so I added what I call a "Sound Level Control Panel" where I balanced each of the 6 groups of all sounds used on the table and then balanced the 6 groups together so they sounded right.  You can adjust the 6 groups in the script yourself if you wish but I think I got it right. 
     
    FizX and Tweaker
     
    I added FizX 3.3 with the latest version of the FizX menu system that we call a "tweaker".  Press the Special 1 key to open the FizX tweaker and read the directions on the overlay that appears on your screen for navigating the system.  I moved the options on the tweaker so the parameters I use the most are displayed first on the list with the lesser-used parameters at the bottom.  If you are not familiar with FizX, you might find the parameters on the tweaker intimidating.  You will however be able to understand the option for "Bounce Choices" which is the very first option.  The option refers to the bounce of the ball off the flippers.  The "Bounce Choices" option allows you to make selections that anyone can understand.  For example, you can select "Low Bounce" or "Medium Bounce".  I recommend you try making changes to this option.  I have already made adjustments on the tweaker but everyone knows I like the flippers to have a very low bounce.  From what I have seen, most folks prefer higher bounce.
     
    Lighting
     
    I added lighting modes for Day, Dusk, Night, Dark Night, and FP Original.  I went a bit further than I usually do by adjusting over 50 parameters for each lighting mode that you can see near the beginning of the script.  Press the Special 2 key to toggle through the lighting modes.  FP Original doesn't look quite as good as the other lighting modes but it helps those that have lower-end PCs. 
     
    Camera Views
     
    This table has a large segmented display on the backbox that cannot be seen with the popular "Full Table 2" view.  If you can't see the display, you can't play the game very effectively.  I created three camera view profiles that show the segmented display.  I set one of them, to be the default in the script so the segmented display should be visible when you first play the table.  You can change the default camera view by pressing the "V" key repeatedly to toggle through the three options.   
     
    Plunger Modification
     
    Popotte developed a plunger mod that added a new feature to the code I had been using.  The code that I used in the past makes the plunger pull back more slowly, making it easier to hone in on just the right power to hit certain skill shots on most tables.  This table does not have a skill shot but it does have a hidden kicker in the back of the castle where this modification makes it easier to hit. 
     
    The plunger that Popotte created has two modes of operation.  The slow plunger pullback is the same as previous versions I used and works like a normal plunger would by pressing the plunger key.  The second method is where you can use the up and down arrow keys to position the plunger exactly before it is released.  Then you press the plunger key to release the ball.  Popotte had been using this mod for a long time but it required setting a switch to either use the slow pullback or the arrow keys.  He and I worked together to figure out a way to code it so it does not require a switch.  ...So you can either press the plunger key and release it at the point where you want it to let go or you can very precisely adjust the plunger with the up and down arrow keys and then press the plunger key to let go of the plunger.  
     
    Easy Game Play
     
    There is an option in the script for easy gameplay.  The option is set to false by default.  You can change it to true if you want easier gameplay.  The comments in the script identify all the changes it makes. 
     
    Rules
     
    I wrote a set of rules that I added to the instruction cards on the apron.  I had written rules which included what happens when the kicker is hit that is inside the castle on the left side.  Then I decided that Roney Pinball might have wanted this to be unknown to the end user because he calls it a "Mystery" in the game.  I decided to add that content exclusively to a PDF file that is in the download.  The content of the PDF is identical to the rules added to the instruction cards except for what happens inside the castle.  If you want the castle rules to remain a "Mystery", you should delete the PDF file. 
     
    The Spinner
     
    I had some trouble with the spinner on this table from the start.  It would only spin once or twice when it was hit and would stop.  I tried adding some code that Ravarcade created but it didn't perform any better.  Wecoc developed a method where the spinner object on the table is converted to a toy with some special code that operates it.  It makes the spinner on this table work perfectly.  It also helps your score quite a bit when you complete the mode that adds 1000 points to your score for each spin. 
     
    Table Loading Screen
     
    There are two table-loading textures as listed below.  The first landscape texture is the default and is intended to be used on desktop PCs.  The portrait texture is intended to be used on pinball cabinets and is used on the "rotated display" version of the table described below.

    Finally, I added a version of the table for those of us who have desktop PCs with a single monitor that can swivel so it is oriented in an upright position.  I call it a rotated display.  To play the table, you need to change the "Rotation" option to 270 degrees on the "Preferences" > "Video / Rendering Options" screen of the FP editor.  You can try it on a standard monitor to see what it looks like but it will be oriented sideways.  The popular Full Table 2 view only uses about 50% of the screen for the playfield whereas this option uses about 90% of the screen.  It produces a more immersive gaming experience. 
     
    Conclusion
     
    I hope you give this table a chance.  It is truly one of the best original tables.  You would think the castle uses a model but it uses 80+ Future Pinball standard walls and surfaces.  It must have taken Roney Pinball some time to create.  I added everything I could think of to improve the gameplay of this table.  I hope you like it.

    List of Changes:
     
    1) Upscaled most of the textures on the table except for the castle.
    2) Made the castle textures darker.
    3) The segmented display was not visible on the Full Table 2 view so 3 switchable camera views were added which can be changed by pressing the letter "V" repeatedly.
    4) Added model for game room with texture.
    5) Added new rock texture to the ramp and new shingle texture for the castle roof.
    6) Added Hud toggle key that saves setting to fpRam.
    7) Added plunger pull special script to slow down pull-back, making it easier to hone in on a shot to the hidden kicker.  
    😎 Added a ball stop surface above the ramp to keep the ball from flying and added an invisible approach ramp.
    9) Fixed bug that displays M1Count not defined. 
    10) Added more time to display the text on the segmented display on the backwall so you have time to read it. 
    11) Moved the lens for the "Jackpot 100,000" light on the playfield texture up higher on the playfield so the light for it could be moved so it does not cover the text.
    12) Added Fleep recordings for mechanical sounds. 
    13) Aligned the left wall of the table that has a break in it and made the ball bounce to the right.  
    14) Adjusted the color of all the light inserts on the playfield.
    15) Changed the displays on the long segmented display 1) to include baseline point values (without bonuses) 2) added displays for when the hidden kicker is hit 3) made displays last longer so you have time to read them.
    16) Added custom flipper texture.
    17) Added black side rail caps and lock down bar.
    18) Added BAM code that allows the score to exceed 2 billion points and made some code changes to support it.
    19) After upscaling the lenses for the 2x to 6x bonus multiplier lights, the text was centered, and the background lightened to make the numbers more prominent.
    20) When all lights were illuminated on the 2-bank stationary targets and the 3-bank drop targets they never displayed long enough to see it.  Added more time to allow end users to see the light before turning off.
    21) There were 2 extra ball lights on the playfield where the coding was never finished.  Added extra ball awards completing the sequences for 2-bank stationary targets and the 3-bank drop targets (see the rules). 
    22) Fixed the display so it does not say multiball when no prisoner lights are lit and only the original ball returned.
    23) Wrote rule sheet and added it to instruction cards on the apron and included a PDF in the download with the rules. 
    24) Added portrait loading texture for cabinet users. 
    25) Added a new feature by Popotte to the plunger mod.  You can now use the up and down arrow keys to position the plunger exactly where you want then press the plunger key to let go of the plunger.  If you don't want to use the arrow keys, press and hold the plunger key.
    26) Added Sound Level Control Panel that adjusts every sound used on the table. 
    27) Added music to the attract mode. 
    28) Added Pin Mech Sound. 
    29) Changed 3 modes that could only be completed one time so they can be repeated.
    30) Corrected a problem with the trigger below the left gate in the middle of the table.  This trigger did not consistently turn on the green lights in front of the ramp in the correct sequence.  This was fixed. 
    31) Created a version of the table for Rotated Display for those that have single monitor PCs and can tilt their monitor 90 degrees.

  12. Galaxia (Original) (SSF, FizX 3.3) (Versions included for Desktop, 2 and 3 Monitor Cabinets and VR)

    With this table, I’ve updated my third release that was originally created by Roney Pinball. Galaxia has always been one of my favorite tables from when I first started playing pinball on my PC. It quickly became addictive. Part of the reason, I believe, was how easy it became to earn extra balls once I learned the table’s mechanics. After a modest improvement in my gameplay, I could often keep a single game going for 30 minutes to an hour.
     
    In this update, I’ve modified nearly every aspect of Galaxia. The original music track was replaced with three new ones. I also added FizX 3.3, using the most current FizX Tweaker. Surround Sound Feedback (SSF) and ball rolling sounds have been implemented using Fleep's recordings.
     
    Visually, the most noticeable change is the addition of two vertical up-kickers equipped with wire ramps. Several geometry issues affecting table objects were corrected. I also created a custom game room environment. Popotte's ingenious plunger modification has been included, allowing precise positioning of the plunger before launching the ball.
     
    Four lighting modes have been added: Day, Dusk, Night, and Dark Night. Numerous light lenses and object textures have been revised. A HUD DMD is now included, displaying the same content as the 27-digit segmented display. This is useful for desktop users and for cabinet users with third monitors via DMDExt.
     
    One of the most challenging fixes was correcting errors related to one of the three extra ball options. And that’s just the beginning—see the “List of Changes” section below for a complete breakdown.
     
    AMD CPUs and GPUs have historically caused compatibility issues with Future Pinball, often misinterpreted as script errors when hardware incompatibility is the real culprit. AMD GPUs are known to create problems in other games as well, not just Future Pinball. Users with AMD Ryzen CPUs paired with NVIDIA GPUs have generally reported better results. However, some have encountered a "string error" with this setup. In those cases, the issue was successfully resolved using a fix I discuss in the instructions PDF file included in the download. I can’t guarantee that this fix will resolve your specific issue, only that others reported success using it.  Since I use an Intel CPU and an NVIDIA GPU, I’m unable to replicate or test AMD-specific problems myself.
     
    Galaxia is a widebody table, and I estimate its width falls somewhere between Genie and Embryon. I was concerned it might not fit well in a pinball cabinet, so I asked DigitalArts to test it. I posted a screenshot from a video he sent me so you can see how it looks—I think it turned out beautifully. He also shared the CFG file from his cabinet, which I’ve included in the download. It should work for most users, though you may need to make adjustments for your setup. He confirmed that the physics, DOF, and SSF all worked properly.  From the video, I could see that the DMD displayed perfectly on his third monitor using DMDExt.
     
    A big thank-you to DigitalArts for testing the table on his cabinet. Since I don’t have one myself, his help was invaluable in ensuring everything functions properly for cabinet users.
     
    Although this update required a deep dive and took longer than expected, it was truly a labor of love. Be sure to read the instruction PDF included in the download to take full advantage of all the table’s features. You’ll also find a rulesheet to help you learn how to play. I hope you enjoy it!

    List of Changes
     
    1. Added two vertical up-kickers (VUKs) with wire ramps and set the score for hitting them to 5,000 points. A flare was added around the left VUK to match the right one.
    2. Translated Spanish text to English on playfield textures, decals, and the 27-digit display.
    3. Fixed several geometry issues:
    After rolling around the bottom of the launch lane when kicked out, the ball would often settle in an area where the plunger couldn’t reach it.  This was fixed by lowering the plunger (the rod was overextended), repositioning the autoplunger and plunger kicker, and narrowing the launch lane.
    The right upper flipper was set back into a recess into the wall where the ball would often get stuck.  Extended the wall behind the flipper straight out to the end of the enclosure for the captive ball.  The wall behind the flipper was extended to the edge of the captive ball enclosure. The lane guide on the approach to the flipper was moved to improve ball trajectory. Playfield and plastic textures were updated to match the new layout.
    Adjusted lane guides for all four flippers to prevent the ball from jumping when rolling onto the flippers.
    Repositioned the end of the lane guide above the left ball lock to prevent the ball from getting stuck.
    4. Added new table loading textures for desktops and cabinets.
    5. Moved the opening on the apron above the for improved ball visibility.
    6. Installed bulbs on top of plastics for locked balls. Bulb color indicates mode:
    Green: ball ready to be locked
    Yellow: ball locked and awaiting drop target hit
    Red: pop-up raised, lock blocked
    7. Darkened the texture of the plunger lane.
    8. Added FizX 3.3 with the latest version of the tweaker menu.
    9. Replaced the original music theme with three new tracks for attract mode, multiball, and gameplay music.
    10. Reshaped the apron to be symmetrical and edited its texture accordingly.
    11. Updated the right slingshot so it is no longer transparent (matching other plastics). The green starfield texture was revised to include the Lagoon Nebula.
    12. Reviewed all scoring events awarding 10,000+ points and added point values to both the 27-digit display and DMD.
    13. Played an unused sound when Special is completed.
    14. Created a new game room featuring a background texture of the Orion Nebula.
    15. Added BAM code to allow scores above 2 billion and corrected related scripting errors.
    16. Implemented Popotte’s plunger mod. The plunger now pulls back more slowly, allowing better reaction time. See the included PDF for instructions.
    17. Upscaled the textures for the playfield, plastics, apron, backglass and cabinet.  Edited the cabinet texture slightly.
    18. Fixed scoring logic for awarding an extra ball on the half-round lane below the left ball lock (orange arrow).
    Removed flashers that triggered on each star target hit.
    Fixed light sequencing.
    All the lights and other functions for this extra ball were set up to carry over to the next ball. (The original version had one light that carried over to the next ball and the other lights did not.)
    All the lights and related functions for this extra ball have been configured to carry over to the next ball. (In the original version, only one light carried over, while the others did not.)
    19. Added four bulbs under the slingshots to trigger the flash of shadow maps when the ball hits the slings.
    20. Developed a set of rules that were added the rules to the instruction cards on the apron.
    21. Added three switchable camera views that can be toggled using the "V" key.
    22. Added ball rolling sounds for the playfield and both wire ramps.
    23. Added surround sound feedback (SSF) for DOF and PUP.
    24. Adjusted colors of all light inserts to be more subdued while retaining the original aesthetic.
    25. Added ball count and credits to the HUD, which were previously only visible on the backbox.
    26. Converted five bitmap decals used for extra ball lights on the bottom-left of the playfield to use black text (replacing white). Converted these to TGA files with alpha transparency.
    27. Replaced low-resolution lens textures for green 2x–6x playfield light inserts with high-res versions.
    28. Updated segmented display colors to a less garish tone and disabled the “Boredom Effect.”
    29. Added four lighting modes—Day, Dusk, Night, and Dark Night that can be toggled using the Special 2 key.
    30. Added a HUD DMD that mirrors the 27-digit display. For cabinet users, the DMD also supports third monitor output via DMDExt.
    31. Configured the left flipper key to cycle through the four lighting modes before the game starts. The right flipper key now opens the Tweaker menu pre-game, helping cabinet users with limited buttons.
    32. Updated the 27-digit display and DMD to indicate which keys control lighting modes and the Tweaker during attract mode.
    33. Added shadow maps to selected bulbs beneath the plastics.
    34. Added adjustments in the script for ball/flipper shadows, ball Brightness, ball reflections, ball shininess and ball specular, and ray casting.
    35. Replaced default flipper textures with custom ones.
    36. Set the posts holding rubber bands to crystal with lighting-responsive sphere-mapped textures.
    37. Discovered some abandoned code and completed it to increase jet bumper scores when the jet light is on.
    The jet light activates after 20 bumper hits.
    Once active, bumper scoring increases from 50 to 300 points.
    38. Changed two flashers on the back wall to display different colors based on six major in-game events.
    39. Replaced captive ball posts with a different material and aligned them to the lower-left flipper for performance optimization.
    40. Added two missing blue bulbs under the rounded back plastics between the posts.
    41. Replaced all target textures and applied a metal texture from Shiva’s collection.
    42. Created a rotated display version of the table.
    43. Created a three-monitor version of the table.
    44. Included a PDF download containing a full instruction manual. 
    45. Added to the download a rulesheet with screenshots as a PDF file.
    46. The table features pop-up blockers in the ball locks, which prevent access to the kicker during multiball. Originally, these pop-ups remained raised until all balls had drained after multiball and a new ball was launched from the plunger. This was changed so access to the kicker is allowed when only one ball remains on the playfield.

  13. Indiana Jones, The Pinball Adventure (Williams, 1993) (Color DMD, SSF, FizX 3.3) (Versions included for Desktop, 2 and 3 Monitor Setup and VR)

    Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure is a wide-body pinball machine designed by Mark Ritchie and released by Williams in 1993. It is based on the first three Indiana Jones films: Raiders of the Lost Ark, Temple of Doom, and The Last Crusade. The playfield features rectangular light inserts for 12 modes, with four modes representing each movie. Additionally, there is one video mode corresponding to each film. The bottom row of lights represents modes for Raiders of the Lost Ark, while the top row corresponds to The Last Crusade. The kicker, located beneath the biplane, allows players to lock three balls for multiball. There are 3 additional multiball modes.  The game's goal is to complete the 12 modes and start the wizzard mode, where you score one billion points.  Actor John Rhys-Davies (reprising his role as Sallah) recorded some new voice quotes for the game. What truly sets this game apart is how thoughtfully designed and enjoyable all the modes are to play.  
     
    About five years ago, Gimli and I modified the Future Pinball (FP) version of this table. The first-ever use of the miniplayfield option in BAM was on his Ultimatum 3 version. Gimli incorporated the miniplayfield option in several areas, most notably to enable the Path of Adventure (POA) to tilt when using the flippers. In previous FP versions of the table, the POA was static and unmoving. Gimli's tilting POA worked flawlessly. Although I added new textures to the plastics at the time, I couldn’t locate any other textures, so they remained unchanged. As a result, the textures for the POA and right ramp were quite dark, and the playfield was of marginal quality.
     
    When I decided to update this table, I searched for better graphics but initially had little success. However, I eventually came across Bigus1's VPX version of the table, which features a beautiful playfield texture of outstanding quality. Bigus1 graciously allowed me to use his playfield texture; as well as, any other textures from his table that I needed. Thank you, Bigus1!
     
    Gimli had previously added several animations to the table that everyone liked so I left them intact.  He also added what he calls his "True Multiplayer" feature. This feature provides true multiplayer functionality, saving each player's game and restoring it on their next turn. Although he used most of the available save registers, I discovered an unused nvS register, which allowed me to add one tweaker. I chose to implement a game tweaker, the most versatile of the three tweakers that Gimli and I have developed.
     
    Video Overview of the Table
     
     
    In addition to the new textures and game tweaker, I added FizX, Surround Sound Feedback (SSF), and a color DMD. I also reworked the problematic right ramp for smoother performance and revamped all the lighting with new shadow maps and spotlights.  Two versions of the cabinet are switchable (see the instruction PDF file for more information).
     
    It seems that more users are running AMD processors on their PCs. Historically, AMD CPUs have had compatibility issues with Future Pinball. Many users report hard crashes after about 10 minutes of gameplay—or even sooner. In addition to crashing, AMD processors can cause stuttering and other performance problems. I received a report from a user on another table, where the playfield appeared as a gray screen with no image, and the system was using an AMD CPU. Systems with AMD GPUs are even more prone to crashes, and unfortunately, there’s little that can be done to resolve these issues. AMD graphics cards are known to have compatibility problems with many games, not just Future Pinball. Table developers cannot be held responsible for issues related to AMD hardware. Some users mistakenly blame these issues on script errors when they are actually caused by hardware incompatibility.
     
    Users with AMD Ryzen CPUs paired with NVIDIA graphics cards have had more success running Future Pinball. I’ve received reports that some users with this configuration encounter a string error, but it was successfully fixed using a solution I posted in the script. You might want to try this fix if you’re experiencing other issues with this setup. Since I have an Intel CPU in my PC, I’m unable to replicate or test any AMD-related problems you may encounter.
     
    Gimli’s original menu system, though effective, combined certain options to minimize the number of save registers needed. For example, the balls-per-game option was combined with an easy play mode. With the addition of the game tweaker, I could save 28 parameters to a single save register. This allowed me to split the combined options into separate choices. I also added several new parameters and 13 audio controls for sound and music, similar to those I’ve implemented in other tables.
     
    Gimli’s original menu system for saving games is still included. It is explained in the instruction PDF file accompanying the download and also displays a list of high scores.
     
    Video Demonstrating the 3 Menu Systems
     
     
    I’ve done my best to optimize the playing experience for both desktop PCs and pinball cabinets. As part of this effort, I included three versions of the table in the download:
     
    1.    Main Version – Suitable for desktops, cabinets with two monitors, and virtual reality headsets.
    2.    Three-Monitor Version – Designed for cabinets with three monitor displays. This version removes the speaker panel from the backbox and it works with DMDExt.
    3.    Rotated Display Version – For desktop PCs with a single monitor that can rotate to an upright (portrait) orientation.
     
    Make sure to refer to the instruction PDF file included in the download for setup guidance.
     
    I prefer to play the rotated display version on my desktop PC because it fills about 90% of the monitor’s available space. In comparison, the Full Table 2 view in Future Pinball only occupies about 50% of the screen, excluding the HUD (which isn’t necessary for the rotated display version). The rotated display offers a more immersive and engaging gameplay experience.
     
    I want to express my sincere gratitude to MadMrMax for assisting with testing and providing some custom fonts he created.  Also, enhancing the visual appearance of this table would not have been possible without Bigus1's textures. Thanks again, Bigus1!
     
    I aim to improve Future Pinball gameplay for everyone. I believe the color DMDs I’ve been adding to my table mods greatly enhance the gaming experience. There have been times when I struggled to discern what the DMD was displaying until I added color. Unfortunately, cabinets using DMDExt cannot display the color. I’ve submitted a DMDExt feature request to address this issue on the following website. This change would allow cabinet users to expand the color palette used on all tables. If you’d like to help, please post comments supporting this change on the linked page. Creating a login ID takes only a few minutes.

    List of Changes
     
    1) Replaced the art on the playfield apron with similar gold-colored art.
    2) Added a new desktop table loading texture with a rope bridge, matching the table's rope bridge mode.
    3) Got permission from Bigus1 to use textures from his VPX version of Indiana Jones, The Pinball Adventure. Used Bigus1's playfield texture, the texture for the Path of Adventure (POA), textures for both slingshot plastics, textures for stationary targets, a portion of his backwall, a portion of the rope bridge from his plastics, and a portion of the texture for the right ramp.
    4) The backwall was raised higher so you can see more than just the top of it.  Reworked it to make it brighter.
    5) Filled in gaps in the rope bridge plastic that goes around objects on the real table that aren’t present in this version to create a rectangular shape.
    6) Found a higher-resolution texture for the backglass.  Reconstructed Slamt1lt's animated backglass using the new texture to recreate the 12-step sequence.
    7) Created a custom texture for each flipper.
    8. The original table's HUD underlay featured an image to the left of the DMD, which caused the DMD to be reduced in size. The texture was replaced with one that has narrow sides, allowing the DMD to be made larger.
    9) The instruction cards were previously added to the texture for the plastics. I added two surfaces for instruction cards on the apron, allowing for the use of higher-resolution cards, making the text easier to read.  
    10) Fixed several textures so they fit the plastics better, filled in exposed bolt holes, and upscaled the textures using an AI program. Changed the edge of the upper plastics from red to a texture colored similarly to the top of the plastics. Extended the plastic on the sides of the right ramp so that they fit on top of the posts. Added screw heads to the plastics.
    11) Combined "cookie-cutter" 2048x4096 textures for one of the plastics with the POA to save PC resources.  
    12) Edited Bigus1's lenses for "The Pit" and "Extra Ball" and added them to the texture for the POA. Reshaped the light inserts for these two lenses and modified them so that the "cookie-cutter" option could be used. Extended the top of the texture by creating content to fill the gap to the top of the POA. Moved some objects around on the POA to center the lanes and make them fit the texture.
    13) Created new side blades for the cabinet interior.  
    14) As spectacular as Bigus1's playfield is, some adjustments were made to the dark blue color so that the two center lanes and columns are slightly lighter, matching photographs of the Williams table. The flesh tones of Willie, Marian, and Dr. Jones were lightened slightly.  The text on the ball saver light (labeled "Eternal Life") was adjusted to a more consistent red color.
    15) The Indy sign above the top of the backbox had stopped working. I exported the model of the sign from Slamt1lt's original table and imported it into this table, which made it work again. I then revised the texture to match the colors of the logo on the backbox texture.
    16) Changed the model for the side blades and added a model for the top rail that covers the default rail. I also added a surface that covers the default apron. Covering the default rail and apron allows them to be changed to a dark brown color, as seen on the original Williams cabinet.
    17) Replaced the round playfield light inserts for Sallah, Marion, and Dr. Jones with shapeable lights to accommodate areas of the lens that are not perfectly round.
    18) Reshaped the metal box on the exit to the Path of Adventure to improve its fit and finish, ensuring a better attachment to the metal ramp.
    19) Added a texture to the bottom of the exterior wall of the Path of Adventure to make it consistent with the rest of the wall.  
    20) Added a new floor to the right upper ramp to improve performance (making the ball travel faster). Replaced the existing ball guide on the right upper ramp, which was not visible.
    21) Added FizX physics using an older version of the tweaker that does not save settings because all the save registers were already used.  
    22) Reconfigured the plunger and nearby objects so that the ball no longer gets stuck in an area where the plunger cannot hit it when the ball is kicked out.  
    23) Added a surface above the right ramp to stop the ball from flying too high and hitting the edge of the plastic above the ramp.  
    24) Added texture to the stationary target hidden behind the drop targets, where no texture had previously existed.
    25) Added Fleep's recordings and Surround Sound Feedback, including his ball-rolling sound on the playfield and ramps.  
    25) Changed the shape of the entrance to the ball lock so that the ball no longer partially enters and bounces out.  
    26) The table has a "Status Report" that can sometimes display. It can also be manually triggered during a game by pressing the "S" key.
    27) Resolved an issue with the "big boulder ball" special effect, which appeared to bounce after FizX was added. This was fixed by temporarily increasing the table slope to 7.5 when the boulder starts and reducing it after the effect ends.
    28) Added a "Sound Level Control Panel" that allows for controlling the volume of all audio on the table.
    29) Moved the rubber band above the ball lock kicker to prevent balls from getting stuck there.  
    30) Added snake sound effects to the arc animation when a player chooses poorly in the video game.  
    31) Added color DMDs and coded them to include a background color for DMD text. This feature must be turned off on pinball cabinets that use DMDExt by changing the ColorDMDStatus in the script to "2." Cabinets that do not use DMDExt (such as 2-monitor setups) can display the color DMDs.
    32) Created an alternate version of the backglass animation that does not flash, making it more accessible for individuals with photophobia.
    33) Added the Game Tweaker. Moved several combined options from the menu to the tweaker as separate parameters, such as easy mode, balls per game, enhanced mode on/off, game rooms, original/Disney cabinets, game console cabinet, pan & zoom, and lighting modes. Added new parameters for ray casting on/off, 14 desktop camera views, swapping 3 playfield sounds and 2 wire ramp sounds, swapping 3 different side blades, toggling flashes on backglass animation, and creating a custom backglass speaker grill, which can be switched with the original. The original menu was retained for game save options and high score displays.
    34) Made the "special 1" and "special 2" keys switchable between the original menu and the tweaker, as an option in the script.  
    35) Added JP's game pause code to pause the game when using the stable save option.
    36) Added 13 audio controls to the game tweaker, allowing all sound levels to be adjusted in-game.
    37) Added a keyboard key to change lighting modes by pressing the "L" key, eliminating the need to open the Game Tweaker.
    38) Added an audio preset option to the game tweaker that has presets for 9 parameters to reduce sound level in increments of 0.05.  
    39) Replaced the texture for the right plastic ramp with a combined version of the original and Bigus1's version.  
    40) Completely reworked all the lighting from the previous version, adding modes for Day, Dusk, Night, and Dark Night. These modes are switchable via the Game Tweaker or by pressing the "L" key on the keyboard.
    41) Reworked all the shadow maps.
    42) Added spotlights to the planes and lit the spotlight on the biplane when pressing the start game key, tying it to the voice quotes.  
    43) Added two versions of the table: one for 3-monitor cabinets and another for single-monitor rotated displays for desktops
    44) Created an instruction manual in PDF format.  
    45) Reworked Gimli's PDF of "Adrian's Guide to Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure" with Gimli's comments about this table.
    46) The drop target in front of the captive ball has been changed. Previously, the target only dropped on the third ball hit, while the first two hits left the target standing. Now, the target will drop for 1 second after the first two ball hits before raising back up. This change matches the behavior of the real Williams table.
    47) Constructed a new boulder ball using a bump map. (Adding the bump map required creating a new ball).  Added another new custom ball to replace an older one.  
    48) Added a feature to the script where the Easy Mode times can be increased by any desired percentage.

  14. Road Runner (Original) (SSF, 3 Monitor Setup, FizX 3.3)

    Road Runner is a great table created by the incredible table developer Roney Pinball.  I decided I wanted to work on a simple table with a simple update so I chose Road Runner.  It didn't take long; however, to determine that it was a bit more sophisticated than I thought.  It has a flyer that explains a few things but not everything.  I decided to write a set of rules since no one had ever posted them before now.  I wrote quite a few rules that filled up both instruction cards on the apron but I was able to add everything I wanted. 
     
    I added FizX Lite 3.0 and the latest version of the FizX tweaker.  An improved version of the lighting tweaker was published on Avatar 2.2.  Since then, Gimli and I have spent much time improving the tweaker.  We found three huge bugs that have been resolved.  Avatar 2.2 had occasions where end users reported getting string errors that have now been resolved.  One bug was caused by Future Pinball sometimes performing calculation errors, like 6 times 10 being equal to 59.9999.  That might be considered close enough but it causes havoc on an array where every two characters in the string represents the saved value for one parameter.  We fixed it by adding rounding for each calculated value to a non-decimal number.  I have noticed that the fix has made the tweaker much more stable without any string errors. 
     
    I have added overlays that describe each of the parameters on the FizX tweaker.  I provide directions on how to navigate the tweaker on the first screen that you see when the tweaker opens.  All you need to remember is to press the Special 1 key to open the tweaker.  If you want a longer description of the Reset to Default, Reset to StartUp, and Save functions, arrow down to the end of the parameters and you will find a detailed description of each.  Unfortunately, the tweaker does not have enough save locations to add settings for the upper flippers.  If you want to change the settings for the upper flippers, they can be changed in the script.  You can, however, change the settings for the main flippers on the tweaker. 
     
    If you are not familiar with FizX, you might find the parameters on the tweaker intimidating.  You will however be able to understand the option for "Bounce Choices".  The option refers to the bounce of the ball off the flippers.  The "Bounce Choices" option allows you to make selections that anyone can understand.  For example, you can select "Low Bounce" or "Medium Bounce".  I recommend you try making changes to this option.  I have already made adjustments on the tweaker but everyone knows I like the flippers to have a very low bounce.  From what I have seen, most folks like higher bounce. 
     
    I didn't add my usual lighting mod this time but I think you will like the lighting nevertheless.  There are lots of options at the beginning of the script where you can change the lighting and other options. 
     
    Zip File – Must Read
     
    There is a zip file included in the download.  It contains the model of a ball with 1K polygons.  Do not unzip the zip file.  Just save it with the same name as the table and place it in the same folder as the table.  If you don't use it, the physics won't be correct.
     
    Table Loading Screen
     
    There are two table-loading textures as listed below.  The first landscape texture is the default and is intended to be used on desktop PCs.  The portrait texture is intended to be used on pinball cabinets. 
     
    LoadingLandscape.jpg
    LoadingPortrait.jpg
     
    Conclusion
     
    The entrance to the right wire ramp was rather problematic.  The ball kept bouncing around the ramp entrance and not going down it.  However, persistence paid off and I managed to get it to work.  This table was otherwise a pleasure to work on.  I hope you enjoy it.

    4) Added overlays to the tweaker that explain each of the FizX parameters. 
    5) Added a HUD Toggle Key that saves settings.
    6) Added new lighting and spotlight with lights turning off when the ball is not in play.
    7) Added new landscape-shaped texture on the table loading screen for desktops and portrait-shaped texture for cabinets.
    😎 Added game room floor and backwall.
    9) Added BAM code that allows the score to exceed 2 billion points. 
    10) Added plunger pull special script to slow down pull-back.

    14) Added rolling ball sounds to the playfield and all four ramps. 
    15) Adjusted the color of all light inserts on the playfield and changed the color on one ramp. 
    16) Added more time to display the text on the segmented display on the backwall so you have time to read it. 
    17) Developed a set of rules which include many of the point values.  Added the rules to the instruction cards on the apron. 
    18) Added desktop camera setting to the script.

  19. Metro

    Metro / IPD No. 1582 / October, 1940 / 1 Player
    Manufacturer:Genco Manufacturing Company, of Chicago, Illinois, USA (1931-1958)
    Date Of Manufacture:October, 1940
    Type:Electro-mechanical (EM) 
    Serial Number Database:View at The Internet Pinball Serial Number Database (IPSND.net)  (External site)
    Theme:Automobiles - City Skyline - Travel
    Specialty:Flipperless 
    Notable Features:Passive bumpers (17). Hitting numbered purple bumpers 1 through 5 in sequence lights each one. When all five are lit, each subsequent hit of a purple bumper awards a free play. The purple bumper in center of playfield is always lit and scores 1000 points. Hitting any lit bumper advances lit car on backglass and advances the backglass Bonus ladder up to 15 steps. The lit car steps twelve times on the backglass to award 1000 points at the twelfth step, and each step alternates the yellow and green rollovers for 1000 points when lit. Scoring either yellow or green rollover when lit lights correspondingly colored bumpers for 1000 points which can then also advance car. The white bumper at bottom of playfield sits between two rollovers and not only advances the car when hit but alternately lights these rollovers to score the backglass Bonus value of 1000 to 15000 points depending on Bonus ladder position, then the Bonus resets. If A-B-C were already made in sequence, scoring a lit bottom rollover awards free plays instead of points.

    Notable Features:Flippers (6), Passive bumpers (10), Kick-out holes (2). Backglass stop-motion light animation (Humpty Dumpty falls). Illuminated credit display on backglass.
    Design by:Harry Mabs
    Art by:Roy Parker
    Notes:Flippers were already used on many games prior to 1947, but they were non-electrical, entirely mechanical. Some games had eight mechanical flippers, such as Ad-Lee Company's 1932 'Double-Shuffle'. Most were "manually-operated" bats used on baseball games, one to a playfield. 'Humpty Dumpty' is the first pinball machine manufactured with flippers that were electromechanical. According to the book Pinball 1, David Gottlieb wanted to name this game 'Flipper' but a legal check found a patented countertop game that had a manual bat, Smith Manufacturing Company's 1932 'Flipper'.

Scoring bumpers (13), Kick-out hole (1). Backglass measures 21 by 21 inches. Notes: The Billboard ad shown here indicates this game was available in two models, Multiple or Straight. We presume that "Multiple" means more than one coin can be inserted before start of game and that "Straight" means only one coin per game. Of the pictures already presented to us, we don't know which model they are or how to tell the difference between models. We have no good images of the coin door for this game, if a difference would be found there.
