A version of Barracora VPX was originally done by Dids and GtxJoe, however in this release, nearly everything was done or redone from scratch. The original table size was incorrect, which required me to completely redo everything like I did on Jungle Lord. The more I worked on this... the more I just redid everything... primitives, sounds, images, etc.
Love this table... as its another great early 80's Williams table like Black Knight, Solar Fire, Jungle Lord, Pharaoh, etc. This has a very complicated ruleset, but excellent game play, as well as challenging lock shots and hungry outlanes! Table instructions are included in the Table info section, and there's a great tutorial by PAPA online.
Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, new upscaled playfield, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new general illumination lighting, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, saucers, playfield mesh, various primitives, etc. Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, kickouts, and overall playability. I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for the playfield, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucers.
I would like to thank the VPW team for testing and feedback (especially Apophis, Tomate, Smaug, FriscoPinball, Bountybob, Lumi, Bietekwiet, Armyaviation, Wylte and all others who tested!) And... an additional thank you to Tomate for providing the lower rail primitive.
There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, LUT lighting options, and you can turn the bell off if you don't like that sound.
The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave.
This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.72, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet. Additional options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit
Thanks again to the VPW team for feedback!
There are two great b2s's out there... one by Wildman (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/4220-barracora-williams-1981/), and one by Hauntfreaks if you would like the full dmd version (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/12399-barracora-williams-1981-b2s-with-full-dmd/).
