Bally's Safe Cracker combines pinball and board games!  The goal is to advance to the board game for a chance to break into the safe while avoiding obstacles along the way. Players spin and stop the safe dial to determine how many spaces to advance. The player can collect winnings and resume playing pinball after each dial spin, or spin again and risk losing it all. Players must risk it all for a chance to break into the bank vault and win the token award.

 

The original 1.0 version was done by fuzzel, flupper1, rothbauerw; with the VR room originally being done by  b4ast1.  Apophis requested that I update the table with an updated playfield scan from EBisLit, and include all the new VPW code, 3D inserts, hybrid mode, physics, drop, standup, and vari-targets, bumpers, flashers, playfield mesh, fleep sounds, etc.  Redbone further cleaned the playfield up, as well as some other images.  I was able to bake the GI lights using blender light maps to make it look as real as possible (thanks for teaching me, apophis!), as well as implementing a pwm approach to the fading.  I've also included other VR rooms, a topper, a flasher/siren, and F12 options.  I reused the ramps and other prims from fuzzel's table, as well several pieces of code from rothbauerw.  

 

Other options in the script include a constant called, "useownb2s".  If you set this to 1, you will turn off the desktop built in backglass.  This is for desktop users that want to use a b2s backglass, not the built in one.

 

MAGIC TOKENs... if you win the board game, the table will issue you a magic token (you'll see the coin roll down).  How the ROM works... is the next game played will force you to use the magic token/s that you've won, and you play a 4 ball multiball for 90 seconds.  Awesome!  But you need to earn the tokens...
 

REQUIREMENTS:  

ROMs:  You will need two ROMs:  A percentaging version is for the number of tokens issued is limited based on the game's earnings, and in a home environment you want to be able to obtain tokens.   They are located here:

All updates properly installed as required, but the flashers and lights are either totally overwhelming, even with script options modified, or not appearing at all, as in the upper right of the playfield on my screen. Table is playable, but god help me if I shoot a ball up the ramp.

Thank you very much UnclePaulie and thanks also to Redbone, Apophis and of course Fuzzel, Flupper1 and Rothbauerw. Superb update, all that remains is to try to master the game now 😁

What an amazing job UnclePaulie!  Such a unique table and it has been made to look and play so real.  I watched a couple YouTube videos with the real life table and am blown away.  When the token rolls down the glass...Brilliant job!  Thank-you so much to all those involved in creating such great stuff.

Great table, fun to play it at the real scale in VR (small !). Lots of fun, but I need to learn how to play it. Massive upgrade over the previous version that I had, it's not even comparable.. UnclePaulie's team nailed it again. Thank you !

Thanks for the hard work that obviously has gone into creating this update. Nice lighting, nice 3D insert lights in VR and the backglass and overall VR experience is great. Only thing is the ramp retracement that seems to be included in the other recent releases is not here, I'm not sure if it is something that simply can be "enabled" but anyway it's a minor detail that does make it even more realistic in VR. But don't be offended by this, it's a really great table.

Good job

What a unique table... It plays so well, especially in VR. The quality of tables these days is jaw-dropping and very lucky to have people like you delivering such a great pinball experience.

I always look forward to a new UnclePaulie table or fresh update of an existing one.  Safecracker is no different.  Thanks to all involved.  It plays great!

Fantastic to have this one with all the latest updates, UnclePaulie! It's been a favorite of mine since my FX3 days. Such a unique and weird table... Lawlor let loose to try any and all wacky ideas he could think of as pinball's 90s comeback was drawing to a close, good stuff! 🍻
