Safe Cracker (Bally 1996)

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:
