Voltan Escapes Cosmic Doom (Bally 1979)

---

Voltan Escapes Cosmic Doom (Bally 1979) is a fun, fast table that Bally only produced 365 machines.  A weird, fun theme with some challenging shots, and a very hungry drain and outlane play.  

 

Hauntfreaks reached out to me some time ago about updating Voltan.  It ended up being behind in my queue of other tables I was doing, and I finally got to doing this table.  What a cool, fun table!  @redbone utilized playfield images off the web to come up with a properly sized playfield that looks amazing after all the updates he did! I then built the table from scratch, using a few primitives that Bord had from some work he did years ago on this.  I've done my best to get all the physics and shots to match videos off the web.  

 

As usual, all the latest VPW standards for physics, GI VLM, 3D inserts, AllLamps routines, shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, default and optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid, Flupper style bumpers and lighting.  Redbone also updated the plastics, target, and spinner images.  Lot of hours were spent studying gameplay videos to match the table skill shots and physics action. Thanks to hauntfreaks for also providing the backglass images, as well as some initial VR cabinet images.   

 

 

Also... redbone was toying with SSF and noticed that sounds were right for SSF, so Apophis and I were able to successfully find that there's a small bug in the VPW script for audiopan and audiofade routines.  Now for those of you with SSF, it should sound great!

 

As usual, there are plenty of options in the F12 menu, and redbone also made an ambiance background sound file to play if you choose.  Other options include colors for balls, flippers, screws, and brightness of bumpers when off and when lit.  There are also multiple VR room environments and other VR options all done via the F12 menu.  You can also change the ROM sound volume in the F12 menu.  (Note if you want to change the ROM volume, you'll need to restart the table after the change.).

 

Please NOTE on the ROM settings:  The default settings for the ROM Dip Switch options are hard coded into the script and are based on the recommended values from Bally for 3 balls and harder play.  If you want to change the ROM Dip Switch settings themselves, you need to change the "SetDIPSwitches to 1" in the script, and then use the F6 menu to change.

I have a problem: in cabinet mode, the table appears like this with these lights. How can I remove them? In the script?

Switch to backglass mode (icon next to the script icon), select the digits and move them somewhere off screen.

Cambie al modo de pantalla trasera (ícono al lado del ícono del script), seleccione los dígitos y muévalos a algún lugar fuera de la pantalla. 

Gracias, hice lo que dijiste y funcionó.
