Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 6, 2014 Content Provider Posted April 6, 2014 I am creating this thread to hold myself accountable for a build, finally. I've started a ton of tables and left them in some mangled heap after I got bored of them. That's not to say I won't get bored of this, but I feel like I have all the tools I need to build it. I need to get permissions from a few people for their resources as well, but I should be good to go there. Currently scripted off of TABs 2009 VP8 version. I could use some help finding a few more resources. I need plastics, I have the lower playfield plastics but need mid-to-upper plastics! I could also use help with primitives, otherwise I can just use ramps for the balls. This is my first complete build so I should keep it simple. And don't worry, the ramps are placeholders while I get the table running 100%! This started on Friday night so bear with me as it could be a slow build. UPDATE 4/11/14 I need a play tester or two, please PM me if you are familiar with this table and can help me get the gameplay right.
SpiffyRob Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 Looking great so far, frenetic! Never played this one, so excited to follow your progress.
Content Provider arngrim Posted April 7, 2014 Content Provider Posted April 7, 2014 Like to see tables that don't exist in fs, and new table builders, look a great start, may the force be with you
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 7, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 7, 2014 A few more hours tonight, starting to get low-res plastics in as placeholders. All leads coming up empty on high-res scans, I'll do a redraw of them later but really not excited to Still need to figure out how a few things work, it looks like the 3 ball between the flippers spins or something?
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 8, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 8, 2014 New pop bumper method, more low res plastics (still placeholders), moved the ramps to more accurate positions, and new light method thanks to P1, looks much better Still hoping for decent plastics scans
primojac Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Very good progress!!!!, I thank you you to be interested in pinballs that you need a bring up to date and they can also be published!!!, THANK YOU!!!!

I know as soon as I do it I'm going to find great images!
Shadowsclassic Posted April 9, 2014 Posted April 9, 2014 The mystery ball looks great! On my machine at least the FP version all the pool balls are faceted, like they are real low poly count. I was really hoping the VP version would look better and it really does. You are doing an awesome job, lovin' it!
CapsLock42 Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Great looking work, very excited to play this table. You daily progress beats my weekly projects when it comes to building, so keep up the good work man.
ASOT Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Yep, some have strange accents but it's not difficult, I'm just being lazy. I know as soon as I do it I'm going to find great images! Probably! I'll wait for the weekend, if nothing has turned up by then i'll recreate them.
Content Provider Itchigo Posted April 10, 2014 Content Provider Posted April 10, 2014 Like to see tables that don't exist in fs, and new table builders, look a great start, may the force be with you This does exist in fs now, but it doesn't look near this good. And I'm working with a new builder myself. For those about to build we salute you!!

You are doing an awesome job, lovin' it! Ah well then you've been duped! It's only an image applied to a ramp
Shadowsclassic Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 Ah well then you've been duped! It's only an image applied to a ramp Well a proper magician you are not! You never tell anyone how the magic is done.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 10, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 10, 2014 Well a proper magician you are not! You never tell anyone how the magic is done. Haha I debated it but didn't want anyone to be disappointed if I ended up releasing it using that method
Content Provider Itchigo Posted April 10, 2014 Content Provider Posted April 10, 2014 So how is that done? With a ramp straight up?
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 10, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 10, 2014 So how is that done? With a ramp straight up? ramp bottom at the height of the metal ramps, +200 top height, and angled to view perfectly aligned on the mystery ball platform, and imagemodewrap an image on there pretty sure this was my base image http://clipartist.info/www/CLIPARTIST.ORG/lemmling/lemmling_8ball_Scalable_Vector_Graphics_SVG.svg.html
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 11, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 11, 2014 Probably overloading on the WIP status but trying to do this daily. Started to redraw some plastics, Still a lot of plastics to do, need to fix mystery ball workings, redo ramps, add a couple primitives. I should be able to get a lot done this weekend
randr Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Looking really good Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 12, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 12, 2014 Anyone know this game and how it should play? I could use a play tester
DStruct Posted April 12, 2014 Posted April 12, 2014 Looks great! Unfortunately, the only one I've had a chance to play was pretty busted. It was probably a horrible example.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted April 12, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted April 12, 2014 Friday night update, lots of small things added today, some probably not noticeable. tomorrow: ramps??? TBD
