**************************************

Version 2.0 Additional instruction:

  • This needs VPX 10.7.3 or later and for VR it is optimized for 10.8 #814. Lighting works a bit differently per revision
  • Scorbit uses 3 extra EXE files that should be but into VPX tables folder. Same place where you put the VPX file and BloodMachinesDMD-folder.
    • Notice that some of these EXE files may need to be unblocked
    • 2 of the EXE's are same than previous Scorbit tables, but this time they are just stored in tables folder.
    • 3rd one is QRView which is made to enable QR code to be seen in VPX table. VPX doesn't normally support loading of external image files.
      • Sources: https://github.com/iaakki/VPXQRView
  • By default it runs still with FlexDMD. You must enable PUP from script and also remember to use options batch files under pup folder.

Alright, let’s do this old school…

 

VPinWorkshop are proud to present our very first original table, “Blood Machines”, based on the movie from Seth Ickerman with music by Carpenter Brut.

 

After watching Blood Machines iaakki thought that it would make a great theme for a pinball table, so we started talking about it in VPW and decided that if we were going to do it as our first completely original VPW table, that we wanted to do it properly.
With this in mind we contacted Seth Ickerman to see if they would be interested in the project and to see if there was any chance they would be able to provide any assets that we could use. Thankfully Not only were they amazed at what we were doing, but they supplied us with 70gig of 3D models and textures which were used in the film!
The only issue now was that these were so high detail that a huge amount of work was needed to optimize them so they would even load in VPX, but thankfully Flupper came to the rescue and did a fantastic job optimising the models and textures so we could put them in the table without setting your PC on fire (for example the ship went down from 8 million polygons to 130,000!)

 

At the time of writing this the table was at revision 335 (release candidate 1.5) with *well* over 1000 man-hours sunken into it, the amount of work has been staggering but we hope that you’ll agree that it was worth it.
The table itself has loads of features that have never been seen before in other VPX tables and we have tried our best to keep most/all of it secret as we want everyone to experience it for themselves firsthand, which is why until very recently we’ve kept details very close to our chest.

 

*IMPORTANT*
In order to fully enjoy the table and play it as it was designed to be played, you will need to purchase the awesome soundtrack by Carpenter Brut (about £5/$5/5e) and place the MP3s in your vpinball music directory:
C:\Visual Pinball\Music\BLOOD MACHINES OST
We really hope people do support the artist and purchase it from;

First time I hear about this movie, first time I hear about this musical artist.

I tried with the music, and the table is fucking good.

The mission, the music, the atmosphere, discovering some "gameplay surprise" put a big smile on my face. 😄

 

Thank's everyone, you give us some crazy happy moments !

This table is so wonderfully done and looks amazing.  What I like most about the table is that the wizard mode is definitely doable.  It takes some game-time (and a good bit of luck) though to come up with a solid strategy and approach to make it through all the modes and multiballs in one game. It has that magic quality that makes you feel you are just that one game away from reaching the wizard mode... which is a wonderful story all by itself 😉.

My subwoofer loves your cannon.  Amazing use of low frequency.  Whoever designed that sound is a genius.  

 

This table finally made me upgrade to 10.7, and I was glad I did (after an hour of panic when nothing was working and I realized b2s wasn't registered anymore).  Really nicely done!  Congrats on this accomplishment and pushing this amazing hobby continually forward.

Wow! What a masterpiece! I played the table the first time and after that i bought the music immediately. The table looks fantastic and is so much fun to play. The only thing i really miss is a fully animated plunger in VR (hope that comes in a future update). Thank you very much!

Wow!  The laser effect is absolutely jaw dropping.  Again, Wow!  I'm looking forward to spending a lot of time with this table.  The color scheme is spot on.  Love the lower playfield, too!  Just an incredible job done by all involved with this special project.  I'm blown away!

This is hands down the best Blood Machines pinball machine on VPX.  I haven't played a Blood Machines pinball anywhere near this quality.  I'm very  impressed.

In order to fully enjoy the table I will need to pay for a soundtrack?

excellent table but impossible to play it, I don't understand why, it's the only vpx table that does this to me

When I start the game it blocks and after a few seconds it unlocks it's strange, then the missions are unplayable 30/45 fps, it's really very strange this phenomenon.

 

edit: 

I just redid several tests to see what really happens and when it happens, when I launch a mission I can play at 60 fps but as soon as the mission is over, the table freezes then my fps goes down to 45 at 0, until I restart a mission then it starts the freeze table again, and I lose the ball.

I set my video parameters to a minimum, disabled my antivirus and disconnected my pin2dmd, tested without db2s but still the same

I don't see where it can come from honestly.

 

you can see my problem at 4 minutes 20 on the video

 

On my record I loose fps , it's normal , I have a little cpu pentium g4560 but if I don't record I have 45 fps or 60 fps when it works well
