Harlem Globetrotters on Tour (Bally 1979) VPW


Get ready for a world tour with the one and only Harlem Globetrotters!

 

Inspired by his love of playing this game in league play, mcarter78 decided to take Mikcab’s mod of the JPSalas original through the blender toolkit and returned with this beauty. Rebuilt from the rim to the floor, this brutal but fun early Bally solid state offers all the challenge and reward of the era. Aside from the updated graphics (playfield from Clark Kent, cabinet art from DaRdog), animations (apophis), and physics, you’ll also find a new VR room where you can play on the streets of New York like an aspiring Globetrotter. Thanks to everyone who helped this one along the way! Enjoy!

 

Starting Lineup
   mcarter78 - Point Guard (Project Lead, Blender Toolkit, Physics, Sound, Code, VR mega room) 
   apophis - Center (Animation, Blender Support, Code)
   RetroRitchie - Guard (Blender Support)
   tomate - Forward (Blender Support)
   bord - Forward (Blender Support)

 

Equipment Managers
   Clark Kent (Playfield Image)
   DaRdog (Cabinet Images, VR Support)
   CainArg (Graphics Support)

 

Coaching Staff
   VPW Team (Testing)

 

Special Thanks to
   Niwak for the blender toolkit and parts library
   Mikcab for his MOD that this was based on
   JPSalas for his original table

are you running cabinet or desktop? Are you running vpx GL or DX? Is the b2s running in the background when you alt-tab? If so alt tab to it so it's forward, then right click on it and in settings make sure Bring Forms To is set to front.

I meant to edit that right after, because I know no one here really knows me that well or knows that I have a pretty good grasp on what im doing, and sometimes I leave those basic details out, that alot of noobs wouldnt think to check, do, or mention.

Cabinet, I tried DX and GL, and no Alt-tab, thats usually first thing I check. 
 

At any rate, today it loads up, and I didnt even do anything except put the PC to sleep last night and this morning wake it up as soon as I got home from work.

It would be nice to be able to access the script... I never had one greyed out before

All VPW tables over the last couple years come locked but it's as easy as opening the table in edit mode, go to edit and click the lock toggle to unlock.

excellent, good to know, thanks. I still use physical nudge buttons for now, and like all my tables 90 and 270 to 4, and center nudge to 5. I think its the perfect amount
