Blackwater 100 (Bally 1988) v.1.3(cabinet).vpx

*Update v. 1.3 released

Found this original table on vpforums. Pretty fun table once you understand the ruleset. The table was uploaded with full permission to mod without approval. I'd like to continue with the same permissions. I'd love to see what someone can do with this table who has full knowledge of scripting and designing in VPX.

I have no experience with building or designing tables in VPX. I've been playing on this platform for a few years now in my custom built cabinet I modified. This table version is for cabinet users only because if you play it in desktop mode, you will notice many of the graphical flaws.  I make no claim of being a professional designer. This is my first public attempt. Feedback, suggestions, and guidance are fully welcome. Hope everyone enjoys!

I modified:

Table & Flipper physics

Ball

Plunger location & physics

Adjusted script so lower flipper buttons are now controlled by magna save only and not by flipper buttons (Necessary for fast line feature)

Fixed issue with Downhill and Cliff Hanger not registering

Adjusted upper and lower kicker to prevent random drains

Added some hidden walls to allow ball smooth ball flow where necessary

Added some transparency to the plastic ramps so the balls don't appear to float in air

Some cosmetic adjustments, including LUT, and reducing bloom

I'm sure I'm forgetting some other things

The table in it's current state is playable and enjoyable in cabinet mode.

Special thanks to the original authors, without you this table would not be possible.
