Spaceballs VPX?

[Jakz]

Hi, i'm kind of a noob to the  forums but I built my own table a few months ago and have been installing tables. I was wondering if anyone had the Spaceballs table ? I can't find it anywhere and it is the wife's favorite movie. I'd like to surprise her with it, if possible. Thanks a lot, in advance.

did anyone get this table working the dmd is on the table and no way to move it and the backglass wont loaD

Yeah, just edit the table in vpx, go to camera settings, when you see the POV and layout, the two black boxes are the DMD that is "stuck on the screen". Simply click and drag them outside of the viewpoint. File, export POV, save the ini, and then save the table. The Backglass file is not included with the table, it is available at the link above. I could't get the backglass to work by default, you have to modify the script to include the following lines: 
 

1 - Place this at the start of the table script, after Option Explicit(not in quotations):

"Dim B2SObj"

 

2 - Place this after the Initiate Table section(not in quotations):

"Set B2SObj = CreateObject("B2S.Server")
B2SObj.B2SName = "SpaceBalls"  ' exact name of your directb2s file (no extension)
B2SObj.Run"

 

And for good measure I created my own backglass for it, with or without dmd. (To setup the dmd you have to move the built in scoreboard to the correct position or try to use another DMD option, but this table doesn't use a ROM or default controller methods.)

 

Keep an eye out for a PUP Pack, I'll probably make one in the near future with a scoring system tied into it.

Hi fellow vpinballers, long time reader, minimal poster.

I found a very broken, repeatative, poorly modified version of a Spaceballs vpx table in internet archive, (author unknown).

I downloaded it and with my limited programming knowledge started to modify the script to get it to play like a reasonable table.

If anyone is interested, it's very basic and nothing like recent brilliant creations from all the talented authors out there.

I can post it as a w.i.p. ?? and hopefully someone like JPSalas, daphishbowl or VpinWorkshop, can grab it to make it better, (or lend a hand with improvement tweaks), (you will probably laugh at it... or cry). 

Original author, (and modifier), unknown as previously stated, you can see the basic playfield outlay is a copy of Avatar, and taken some of its scripting, (heavily edited). I spent hours & hours cleaning up both playfield & script.                                                                                                                                                                   

 I've done a Tarcisio wheel & designed a very basic backglass from Ballstuck's 2022 post, (Hauntfreaks will be horrified -apologies now...), also I grabbed the static DMD. (Growat 2022). 

 

It's a non rom table, I have "borrowed" section of scripts from other tables, there are minimal rules and it's a bit "buggy", like: play again while still in table, score resets to zero then grabs last score for a continued new game. End of ball bonuses & special light, I know I don't have all the scripting quite correct. Currently only one player - started to make a four player table got lost in the scripting again....

 

 Anyway, with a possible new movie coming soon is anyone interested?

What do I need to do so no-one gets offended if I dare to post my meager efforts? (Dazz, a little help?).
