Beleive it or not, this VPW mod was started in June 2020!

 

Based on the JPSalas version, this is one of the very first mods VPW attempted and has probably gone through more versions and more sets of hands than any other of our projects before, every time getting updated with whatever we were doing but never actually making it to release. Finally mcarter78 finally accepted the mission of getting it over the line and out the door, and here we are! (finally!)

I can't believe it. From out of nowhere  Ripley´s arrives!! So this has been a favorite table of mine for many years. I played the real table back in the day, and  was a big fan of JP´s original take on this.  I truly enjoyed his latest update from  November 2023. Now with some new VPW magic this table lives again. Physics are a  bit better,  but the biggest difference are the enhanced lights and graphics . The table now looks and feel much more like the original. VERY happy to enter the world of Ripley once more. This is another win for @VPinWorkshop

I can’t stop playing this. One of my favorite tables since there’s so much going on but it’s very easy to understand what you should be doing. Amazing in VR. Great work!

I used to play this table alot in TPA and enjoyed it even though I don't particularly like Stern tables.

 

Playing this version is mind blowing - thanks to everyone involved, it is top notch as usual

Very well designed table it looks so nice, but this one is pure evil.

Don't let the looks fool you this one will cause you pain and agony.

So because this table is very generous in giving out some points

I will give this table some points   _ _ _ _

 

Great work Team VPW

This has always been one fun table, and now that it has all the bells and whistles it's a go to pretty much every play session. The table looks fantastic and plays better....and in VR, she is a showpiece for sure. Thanks to all who had their hand in this and for sharing.

True to the real game. All shots possible in the real game are present, as well as the difficulty of said shots. Physics are top-notch (and script-intensive) per the usual with VPW, so make sure to maximize your single-thread CPU performance to the best of your system's ability in order to limit/prevent stutter. The ball image is a bit dark for me, so I swapped it for "ball-light-hf" which you likely have in another table to export from via VPX's Image Manager. 

 

The left-center ramp is a tricky devil (damn rubber post rightwards of the scoop), but it can be nailed consistently with a little practice :)

Unbelievably Playable. Its such a fun recreation. Kudos to everyone on the VPW Team!
