Twilight Zone (Bally 1993) VPW Edition

 hi there updated to new table matrix not working  compared to older version  . it seems not to read the gif file

Is there something wrong with the Clock Millions target between the two ramps for anybody?  On other versions and IRL, I'm hitting this all the time, but it doesn't seem to register often in this VPW version.  EDIT: well I simply restarted the table and it seems to be registering correctly now.  Weird.

The attention to detail in this table is amazing, little things like the screws that hold the apron wire in place, something that I haven't noticed being included in other tables.

Thanks again.

hey there. I have a weird problem that my flipper fingers wont react. Of course I suspected that I updated something wrong but it seems that other tables continue to work fine with the latest vpx, pinmame and b2s. I tested Die Hard Trilogy and Fish Tales for example. Still work fine. Before I fiddle around with my installation further. Any idea if there might be a quick fix for not responding flipper fingers? All other inputs work fine, I can start the table and launch the ball.

I would first - stop the table, then rename or delete the nvram file. I do sometime rename the nvram, if for some reason the issues is elsewhere ... that way, I can rename it back and keep my high-scores pr. example.

If you rename, or delete. Run the table once, wait for the rom to init and exit. Then again try before deciding if that was the cure or not. Pinmame might sometime be a bit confused if it doesn't find the nvram file that it expects. It is just the same as a pinball machine without a working battery.

The first time a rom is run - it will get default values. You exit and it is written to disk. Being the same as - hey, we have a battery installed and the previous values was ..... on the next run.

When I updated pinmame I only grabbed the pinmame64.exe and not the vpinmame dlls... now everything is working. These updates are always so confusing ^^

Need help please. I am using hauntfreaks b2s/full DMD with this fantastic table. I an only getting table sounds and nothing from the back glass. Other tables installed today have worked good. I opened the coin door and turned the volume all the way out and did not help (this one step exhausts by VPX knowledge on sound issues). Any ideas?

You'll need to unlock the table: Table>Lock> Unlock. Then you'll be able to use the editor to set the POV. Or launch the table and hit F12, followed by the launch button (or Enter on keyboard) to begin tweaking it for your cab.

Encore un boulot de dingue, MERCIIII pour ce que vous faites, bravo et merci 🙏 👍 👏

Getting a very slight stutter on only this table and can't seem to figure out what to change to fix it. Any suggestions?
Min Refraction and VR Room off in table, no B2S, no V-Sync. Ryzen 9 5950X, RTX 3080, 64GB RAM, 1440p @ 144hz VPX/VpinMame/B2S all updated. The stutter isn't much, but it is very noticeable. Again this is the ONLY table to experience an issue.

This table is perfect. Absolutely awesome. Congratulations and thank you to everyone involved in bringing this to life.

On a side note, Just wondering if there is there a ceramic ball option?

Hi everybody,

Very good job fantastic....

My trouble is that my upper flip on the right doesn't work.

I don't know why ?

Someone has the same trouble ?

Thank you again.

Im new to this, and ive gotten every table to run without a hitch for so far, except this one.. Everything seems to work except the game sound... I have opened the coin door and adjusted the volume to max but there is now music or call-outs just the mechanical sounds of solenoids and bumpers. Is there seperate files to download? or am i just stupid?

To summarise the above link, this table needs ROMs 'tz_94h' and 'tz_94ch'. Another thing to note is that some other tables require more than one ROM to run the table correctly. As a first point of call I'd recommend checking a particular table's entry on the Virtual Pinball Spreadsheet with regard to ROMs required (or anything else) should you run into problems etc. ROM info is of course usually on the page for the table on this site but sometimes further info is needed. The VPS database is very useful. Even though I've been using VPX for quite a while I'm still learning stuff even now...! If you need any help with anything else, let me know.

Is there anyway to make the playfield more vibrant and bright? The Daylight option is at 100% to begin with. I'm currently running the LW version and the playfield looks much better but I want to use this version because of all the great features. Thanks and great work. Table is amazing

I am on an update spree and this stands out amongst all the other VPW releases I have tested (and there are a few) that it already starts out at 100% daylight and is still far too dark. (Switching to AGX tonemapper alleviates it some, but nowhere enough).

Is there any way around this?

Also Legacy view mode is always vertical, not what I have seen from other VPW tables, is that intentional?

VPX 10.8.0 rev 2051 (scripts folder up to date :),  VPinMAME  3.6.0-1227 & B2SServer 2.1.3

First of all, this is really one hell of a ride. 
My grandma used to have this one in her cafe, of course i was a small boy then and of course i sucked.
Now i'm a grown man and i still suck 😆 (but a little less now)
The graphics, the physics its a great game.

I just really like to know, how the game knows when the Powerball is coming. (Not the real pin, but this game)
The rom tells you like: POWERBALL, but how does the vba code and the visual table know when it's that ball?
When i exit the table and that white ball is not in the Gumball machine, but in the inlane the game also knows it's coming.
Just something i have been wondering a long time.
 

Pour le Pup Pack By GtecArcade : 

Ajouter ce bout au script de la table : 

'****** PuP Variables ******

Dim usePUP: Dim cPuPPack: Dim PuPlayer: Dim PUPStatus: PUPStatus=false ' dont edit this line!!!

'*************************** PuP Settings for this table ********************************

usePUP   = True         ' set to TRUE to enable Pup.   Download and move to proper folder on PC.
cPuPPack = "tz_94ch"    ' name of the PuP-Pack / PuPVideos folder for this table

'//////////////////// PINUP PLAYER: STARTUP & CONTROL SECTION //////////////////////////

' This is used for the startup and control of Pinup Player

Sub PuPStart(cPuPPack)
    If PUPStatus=true then Exit Sub
    If usePUP=true then
        Set PuPlayer = CreateObject("PinUpPlayer.PinDisplay")
        If PuPlayer is Nothing Then
            usePUP=True
            PUPStatus=True
        Else
            PuPlayer.B2SInit "",cPuPPack 'start the Pup-Pack
            PUPStatus=true
        End If
    End If
End Sub

Sub pupevent(EventNum)
    if (usePUP=false or PUPStatus=false) then Exit Sub
    PuPlayer.B2SData "W"&EventNum,1  'send event to Pup-Pack
End Sub

'************ PuP-Pack Startup **************

PuPStart(cPuPPack) 'Check for PuP - If found, then start Pinup Player / PuP-Pack

thank you for another lovely table

Thanks

I was flicking through the feature adjustments menu in the rom for this table and noticed things like 'piano difficulty' and 'slot difficulty'. 

Does changing these settings in the rom have an effect on the table?   does it depend on how the author of the table has coded it?  Can the scripting of the table take into account difficulty settings in the rom?

How do I install the table?
