"One More Time…"

 

This was one of VPWs first projects a few years ago after Brad1X had done a complete vector re-draw of it. At the time we released it with a lot of added dirt and scratches, but we always wanted a version a bit more cleaned up. In addition to new toolkit lighting, it has had a physics overhaul, and a very detailed Fleep sound pass with the sound package used in Bride of Pinbot (a table from the similar era). 

 

This update was driven primarily by Benji who did a great job updating the project with blender toolkit. Thanks to Apophis for his various scripting help and tutorials getting movables to work, Rothbauerw for various helps, Tomate for modeling new plastic ramps, Mcarter for all the script-side updates (especially Fleep sound package), Iaakki and MrGrynch for scripting support. 

 

Special Notes: VPX 10.8 Beta 7 (or higher) required for this table. This table also takes advantage of a new options page feature in 10.8, accessed via F12 key. The 3rd page in this menu has table specific options including some sweet mirrored side blades. These are disabled by default because they come at a decent performance cost, especially if you are playing in anaglyph or VR. The ‘Day/Night’ setting here is also where you will adjust the table brightness (not to be confused with the same functionality of old Day/Night slider).

 

This project is dedicated to Brad1X who has done a few amazing re-draws for us and this is his favorite pinball table!

Rating given for previous version.

WOW first time I have had to question VPW release/update 3.1.

But lighting compared to previous version is bad and dark . Making table artwork look ruff and inserts on cats eyes out of place. My real Bad Cats not this dark.

Any way of adjusting it? Settings in VPX seem to make no difference.

Had to roll back to previous version.

This is a piece of art visually.

Especially in 3D is where the VPW tables shine.

The only thing I see that could be improved is the bumper sounds and sound when the ball hits elements on the table.

I have a 2019 Bad Cats version that doesn't look this good but sounds so much better on my SSF 43" Cabinet.

The front and rear bumpers really "thud" and when the ball hits elements on the table you can feel it.

I am using 4 Dayton exciters and a Dayton bass shaker in the cabinet.

It’s an awesome table, but this F12 thing isn’t working. When I hit F12 I get a popup in VPX asking me to set the volume.

Very impressive work! The visuals/lighting, the physics, the new ramps, the new SSF sound effects are all amazing. It was already a great table, but now it's one of my favorite tables ever. It's just so much fun to play. Thank you!

 

"One More Time…" -> Meow me' meow meow!

 

One small bug: the metal under "Fishbowl ramp" doesn't move at all when the ball runs info it. And a small visual detail: the tiger on the left (on top of "Tiger ramp") does have a strange looking level of detail effect/artifact in VR when I move my head slightly forward/backwards in VR. A other thing to notice, the F12 menu doesn't work properly in VR(got shown double, and only in the bottom of the display, works, but hard to see) with the latest 10.8 release(tested beta 7 too, same). But this all doesn't change the fact that this table is just amazing!

It really looks amazing. Thanks for the hard work done on the playfield. What a great recreation! 
 

I much prefer the previous menu system that’s been in use lately that utilizes the magna save buttons to bring up the menu. Requiring F12 doesn’t work in VR because you can’t see the menu. It’s tiny and too low in screen. So anytime I want to use the menu, I have to a) turn off vr in vpx b) turn on  vr preview in vpx. Then start the game, make the adjustments. Close the game and go back to turning VR on and the preview off. It’s rather cumbersome.

a great table made even better, thanks again VPW team! The drop target fix was all that was needed to polish 'er off. Fantastic. I will say I appreciate that you put the jackpot column in the backdrop for us desktop users but... for me I still prefer using @xenonph script add-ins and B2sDT.exe . This allows me to have the backglass on top in desktop mode with a functioning jackpot and animation using @Herweh awesome backglass.  I'm just grateful we have options AND a super VPW table to boot!

Hi team!
I wanted to inform you that I have noticed a vibration of the ball when passing through the right inlane, before reaching the flipper, which is quite annoying when repeatedly hitting the tiger ramp.
It also happens if the ball passes through the right inlane, without returning from the tiger ramp.
If you try shooting the tiger ramp, you will notice it right away.
I appreciate your work and congratulations on the quality of it.
Greetings!

I'm not pinball savvy enough to know what most of that does, or notice the better physics, but I really appreciate you guys constantly improving these tables!  I always make sure I load up  these beauties to show of VP to my Pinhead friends.  Thanks for the magic team!

This table looks so great on my cab.

I keep coming back to this one often and gets many repeat plays "one more time", even though I'm terrible at it and suck at making most of the shots 🤣
