Bad Cats (Williams 1989) VPW Mod

MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW

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. 

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.

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!

You guys call this an update?? This new version is nothing short of a revelation!

WOW!! Crazy beautiful and realistic!! Hope this will be the new standard

I love this table - it looks so good !!

Thank  You For This Great Table, Good Job!.

this is an old and hard table, really well done, another smash hit from the best team on the hobby, what a time to be a vpin enthusiast!, thank you

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. 

Look what I purchased

I haz two!

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! 

absolutely purrrrrrfect! this table is super badass now

Tip top comme d'habitude avec vous, VPW !

Pour avoir les sons, ne pas oublier de copier les 2 roms de Vpinmame, bcats l2 et l5...

thanks a lot !!!

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!

Fantastic job such a fun table

thank you

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 🤣

This table was already in my top 20, and now with version 3 it has become one of my top ten of all time. It's so beautiful and it feels like playing a real table. I love it!

superb update of an already superb table of yours! thanks a lot

How can such bad cats be so good?

Beautiful looking table that plays so well - the update is a huge improvement.  Another one to show off to friends. Thank you.

Incredible work!
It can't be emphasized enough how much work goes in to bring these tables to life by these good folks.
Fantastic update - thanks a million!

(edited for bad word choice lol)

I just love this table, great work.
