JAWS - BIGGER BOAT EDITION (PinEvent V2, FizX 3.3)

JAWS – BIGGER BOAT EDITION

 

 Original Table created by: ROM

 

Ultimate Pro Update by: SLAMT1LT

 

BIGGER BOAT EDITION by TerryRed

 

Table version: 1.7 (Feb 2024)

 

======================================

 

 

What began as ROM’s classic Jaws table for Future Pinball, has evolved over the years from SLAMT1LT’s massive Ultimate Pro update, to my new BIGGER BOAT EDITON.

 

This table has been completely updated to use the newest modern BAM features to create an amazing real-time visual treat that will blow you away! Almost everything you see has been updated to the max and many cool additions have been added!

 

See new effects, such as the ramp spilling the blood of any ball eaten by the shark. New animated bumpers fill with bloody water. Gasp as you see victims reach out from the bumpers for help! Witness Ben Gardner’s dead corpse bob up and down. New animated water plastics, boat wheel and orca toys, Hooper’s tanks, buoy flashers, underwater VR room and more!

 

 

======================================

 

 

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 V2

 

This table is also updated to fully support PinEvent V2 features (DOF, PUP SSF, PUP DMD). It has modern PUP DMD display options that can work with all setups. With it's crisp HD text and dazzling videos, it's sure to wow everyone who sees it.

Desktop Static Camera Views (attract mode)

 

• during attract mode only, you can press plunger to toggle integrated static desktop camera views

• if you want to use your own BAM camera settings, or a FP camera view, then you must disable this feature in TABLE OPTIONS in the table script

During Gameplay, the following will fire the Harpoon Ball Launcher and act as a plunger

 

• Plunger button, Special 1 button, Special 2 button

 

 

====================================================================

 

 

BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:

 

• this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
• this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
• this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
• if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)

 

To disable this feature, you MUST disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script)

 

BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:

 

• BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
• this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times
• on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

 

Physics: FizX v3.3

• disable any SSAO options in BAM plugins menu (disabled by default)
