RetroFlair - BAM Edition (PinEvent V2, FizX 3.3)

RetroFlair - Bam Edition (PinEvent V2, FizX)

Version: 2.2 (Feb 2024)

This is Rom's classic Future Pinball table the lets us jam to classic Arcade and Amiga tunes.

I have updated it to my BAM Edition and PinEvent V2 mod to use the newest BAM features to create an amazing real-time visual treat with cool new additions, as well as excellent new mechanical sounds from FLEEP!

See cool features such as the new PAC-MAN, Outrun, and Speedball modes. New mesh inserts, new RGB G.I. lighting effects, real beacon and spotlights, new shadowmaps, ray cast shadows, and more.


 

This table has been fully updated with FizX physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!

PinEvent V2

This table is also updated to fully support PinEvent V2 features (DOF, PUP SSF, PUP DMD). It has modern PUP DMD display options that can work with all setups. With it's crisp HD text and dazzling videos, it's sure to wow everyone who sees it.

For a video walkthrough of the updates, new features, and all game modes, watch here:

RGB Animated G.I. Lighting

Flipper buttons will toggle between Default G.I., and RGB G.I. that will cycle through all colours. This can be done only during attract mode.

====================================================================

BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:

• this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
• this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
• this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
• if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)

To disable this feature, you MUST “first” disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script)

BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:

• BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
• this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times
• on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

Physics: FizX v3.3

Game not running smooth? Try the following:

• run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
• disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS (in table script)
• disable Reflections options in FP's Video / Rendering settings
• reduce / disable Antialiasing in FP's Video / Rendering settings
• disable any SSAO options in BAM plugins menu (disabled by default)
