"You still think you can control the game with brute force?"

 

Everyone loves The Shadow...

Sixtoe was approached by Dough Nut and Burger at almost the same time asking about modding his old VR mod of a mod of a mod, with Dough Nut having made a fancy new VR mega room, and Burger doing a great job implementing nfozzy physics and fleep sound code, so we thought "why not merge them and fix a few more things along the way?" and here we are.

It wasn't that easy modding a table after spending so long scratch building tables, so a 5 minute project turned into a few months as Sixtoe tinkered away, but we finally got it in good enough shape where we're happy enough to release it, so enjoy!

 

Shadows

This table is based on Sixtoes VR mod which was a mod of Skitso's Detail mod by Skitso, Markrock76, and Bord which was a mod of Alessio's original table.

Sixtoe - Refactored table, new physical build, flupper flashers, new ramps, completely rebuilt battlefield at least 3 times, loads of other stuff, who knows at this point...

Burger - Added nFozzy physics, added Fleep code, optimized ball shadow, removed duplicate subs

Dough Nut - Mega VR Room added.

tomate - Baked new ON/OFF textures for metal ramps and sidewalks, change GI to 2700k, lowered bloom strength to 0.2

apophis - Fixed script indentations (FML). Removed difficulty option for the battlefield.

DGrimmReaper - VR Auto Detect. F12 Options for VR Room, VR Backglass and DT SideRails. Staged Flipper Support.  DT Backdrop (HauntFreaks Backglass Assets)

The playfield looks weird on mine - not come across this before, any ideas?

 

I'm trying different graphic settings but so far no dice.  Running 10.8 final 64bit 

 

EDIT - just downloaded the table again and it's all ok.  I noticed the file size originally was 102mb but when I downloaded again it was 164mb - no idea what happened but I obviously cocked something up  🙂

Vpinmame does that with Altsound since they replace bass64.dll with miniaudio in later 3.7 beta.

I filled a bug report months ago but it seems to no get any attention for now, so we'll have to wait or downgrade to 3.7.222 wich is the lastest version available with Altound working audio on sff cab. By doing that you cannot play Genesis by VPW in the meantime, so that sucks. Or you have to give up on all altsounds for now

Thank you guys. This one has always for some odd reason been put on the side line here. Sure, played it, but, not on those nights. I hope that will change next time. Just need to learn the rules better.

I'm new to this table and still learning the rules but does anyone use the ramp diverters during play (except using the left one at the start of a ball to choose an award)?

 

Other than flipping them to choose to return the ball to either the left or right flipper.  I might be missing something but I don't see the value of flipping them about and in most games I tend to just leave them alone

 

Again, it might be my lack of understanding the rules 

 

EDIT - ok I see you need to light the rings either side of the diverters 🙂

 

btw - I managed to get the ball stuck right under the ring to the right of the left diverter 

 

This table is awesome - I'm really impressed with it, one of Bally's finest

Table looks amazing! But I'm curious why the ramps look flat, like the metal texture is missing or something? The previous version definitely had more realistic textures

The scripts are, and always have been, in the scripts folder (C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Scripts)

I have over 200 tables, this is the only one with that error

thx for the help (google and AI have been no value on this)
