---

This update was worked on within the VPW group or developers, please refer to the changelog below which details all of the contributors and what has been updated. The main goal for the guys that worked on this was to update the physics and sounds to current methods and update with 3D inserts. There was also plenty done to help it in VR. I didn’t work on this version but on behalf of the community thank the guys that invested so much time in bringing this together and special shout out to Fluffhead who managed the updated at VPW and to Robbykingpin for this contributions early on getting the physics and sounds updates integrated. Enjoy!

  VPX - Pinball Tables

Hi, downloaded the table.  Everything works apart from the sound.  The flippers make a noise, but none of the Addams Family audio.  Any ideas?

Start game, hit the END key to open the coin door, hit 8 and 9 keys to raise or lower volume, END again to close the door

Thanks for getting back to me.  The game makes a sound, but only of the flippers and the ball bouncing around the table.  Tried what you said, but just increases the sound of the "non-Addams Family" audio.

It could be you don't have good roms. Since Vpinmame uses the split rom method you need the parent rom, taf_l5, as well as the newer taf_l7. The sound chips reside in the L5 parent rom.

[Pathfinder]

I've put all the Addams Family roms known to man in the roms folder, but still no joy.

[Pathfinder]

I replaced the taf_l5 rom file with the one from this website and it sorted it out.  Many thanks for your help.

[CarnyPriest]

taf_l5 is actually newer (more recent) than taf_l7. You can't always go by the version number especially where there was a lot of code floating around for a very popular game. taf_h4 is the set that is recommended by players for home use (has display fixes, larger score font, ball buy-in, more settings in the in-game menu, etc.) Don't forget that the gold edition roms should work perfectly well with the standard table. Try tafg_lx3.

[gonzonia]

I've tried all taf_l7, taf_l5, and tafg_lx3. I still only have the table sounds and no voices or music. 

 

[CarnyPriest]

You need this set

 

and this set

 

 

Copy both files to VPinMAME/roms folder

 

F1 Game Settings - 

Make sure Use Sound is checked

Alt. Sound Mode value is 0

 

In game menu

hit the END key to open the coin door, hit 8 and 9 keys to raise or lower volume, END again to close the door

 

[redspade83]

I didn't check the table options menu box to reopen the menu upon reloading the table. I'd like to make visual changes like removing Uncle Fester from the chair. How do I reopen the menu?

[leohidalgo]

Hi, do you have any pupPak for videos?

[boogey890]

first of all ty all for your work beautiful table

that being said im new to the whole virtual pinball thing and i used to play this table on a different software and im left wondering why there isnt the shoot gain option if you lose the ball too fast and also why there isnt a middle pin between the flippers that pops the ball back up when the ball comes perfectly alligned to the center.

one other thing that might not have to do with this table pardon my ignorance on the matter is why the nudge thing on the visual pinball so weak and it barely seems to affect the ball

That's just how it is on the real game too. No ball save timer, no cheater mini post. Lawlor despised timed ball saves. There is an unofficial home rom (H4) that has it but is free play only as AFAIK not implemented in pinmame.

is it too hard to edit the ball save timer ? it really pisses me off xD

with that being said im loving the table even more just one note sometimes the plunger launches the ball with so much speed it goes off the table and i need to restart it as it cant find the ball

im playing with a controller and using the L2 to lauch the ball (not sure it this helps to debug it)

[Bigbadwolf4life]

Just curious if anyone has ever had issues with the DMD having issues refreshing its self when it transitions from one animation to another after each ball?

The DMD flickers and tries to display the right thing as it calculates the score then when the next ball starts things seem fine. Its the only table that does it.

[BookemDanno]

Just updated to latest version 2.4.41 running VPX 10.8.1 under Batocera 42.  Table updates since the last version I was running with (2.3.2) are great.

One issue:  the on-screen DMD doesn't really look like it's using "standard orange colors."  Seems closer to white to me.  I tried extracting VBS and

setting "UseVPMColoredDMD = 0", but that changed nothing.  External DMD (Pixelcade) is using the expected orange/amber colors.

Is there any way to disable the inbuilt DMD and only use the external one? I have it disabled in the settings but it's stuck to the background behind the table.

sure. Open in editor mode, toggle backglass view and you should see the dmd there upper left. If not make sure to have all layers checked in properties. Then simply use your mouse to drag the dmd up out of the bounding box and save. If its gray it's locked so right click on it and toggle lock.

Does anybody know how to disable the VR stuff? I don't play VR but I'm still seeing this object called "Pincab_Glass_Support" that obstructs the view. My understanding was that nothing VR would be rendered if not in VR mode, so I'm not sure what's going on or if I'm just not understanding how things work.

 

Here's what I see (distorted for clarity):

 

[laralala]

Answering my own question. These for loops on the script:

 

260 If RenderingMode = 2 or LiveViewVRSim = 1 Then
261 
262 	VRMode = True
263
264	For Each VR_Obj in VRCab: VR_Obj.visible = 1: Next
265
266	If VRRoomChoice = 1 Then
267		For Each VR_Obj in VRMin: VR_Obj.visible = 1: Next
268	Else
269		For Each VR_Obj in VRMin: VR_Obj.visible = 0: Next
270	End If
271
272	Set LampCallback = GetRef("UpdateVRBGlamps")
273	SetVRBackglass
274
275 Else
276	VRMode = False
277	For Each VR_Obj in VRCab: VR_Obj.visible = 1: Next
278	For Each VR_Obj in VRCab2: VR_Obj.visible = 0: Next
279	For Each VR_Obj in VRMin: VR_Obj.visible = 0: Next
280	For Each VR_Obj in VRBackglass: VR_Obj.visible = 0: Next
281 End If

 

Seem to indicate that the intention was to hide elements programatically, except that the loop in line 277 has a visible = 1 instead of 0. I don't know if it's intentional or not, but for now I'm just changing that to 0 and all seems to work well.

[wrd1972]

Hey guys. Im getting a very squelchy sound from the music from the ROM. Just sounds plain weird. Anybody else having this? Is there a fix? Thanks.

[tonyvox81]

Why is the table frozen when I launch it with visualpinballX64GL?

I'd like to be able to play it in anaglyph 3D mode.

Can anyone please tell me how?

[Mirkin]

When I put it into "Thing Flips Training Mode" it freezes after just one ball. Looks like it is getting stuck at line 3578 but I can't be sure of that.

Any ideas?

Apart from that it's awesome as expected :-)
