Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 Been a while since I had a WIP on VPU! With the release of a scripted version of Fast Draw by Loserman over on VPF, I can finally begin this project. To begin, this is THE pinball machine that got me into this hobby. Back in the day, my dad had one of these in the garage and I played the hell out of it. We eventually sold it and I kind of forgot about pinball. Then almost 2 years ago I went searching for the machine and found that it had been recreated in two fine pieces of pinball software... from there I discovered everything else that all these great author have to author. Once I started to understand VP I realized what all was wrong with the (otherwise admittedly great) VP version - it was using a ROM. I already tried to do an EM table, I can't script, forget that. Now that there's script available I'd like to start to update the table that got me here. Rawd showed me Triple Strike tonight and the reflections blew my mind. It looked complicated but now with primitive support in VP everything is pretty easy... apparently this was all Rascal's idea but I think he's been getting too much credit lately I just started to build tonight, shouldn't take too long, I'll be using FP resources and objects for almost everything. I need to get permission from Popotte before I can release - I doubt he'll say no - but this one should be pretty smooth and I hope it turns out looking real cool. Just a few objects placed... this is going to be similar to my WWF build, it's going to look finished well before it's even playable! I suppose this build is a transition... I wanted to do something but I didn't want to do everything. My other 2 builds are exhausting.
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 man, don't you want to finish some projects before starting some new? don't you want to finish the OXO EM first? anyway, i will skip loserman one and will dof yours

Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 26, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 Yea I know he posted something similar on VPF, but I always want up front permission. I know I'll get it but don't want any surprises arngrim I know, I am doing this because it's something different for me, I hardly have to do any coding, it's all visual... and I am so worn out on the other 2 right now I posted a plea for help on VPF for someone to finish OXO but didn't get a single response. I just don't do EM Tables.
Content Provider unclewilly Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 I didnt see that post. I might be interested in finishing that em. In about 3 weeks when im done moving
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 26, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 needs b2s uw, haven't looked at it in a couple months I think I left out some primitive scripting
Content Provider unclewilly Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 Should be easy enough to just convert the fp table script over to the table. Although i am clueless on how to do the db2s for em tables so someone else may need to do that.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 26, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 I grabbed script from an old version of oxo (for vp) but the fp script would be cleaner, I don't know where to begin with that. I have great images for the b2s when someone gets around to it
Content Provider unclewilly Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 If your done with it send it my way and ill code it up
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 26, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 A little bit of work this afternoon, not a single non-primitive VP object in place on this table yet
Content Provider unclewilly Posted September 26, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 26, 2014 Are you drawing the reflections in photoshop
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 27, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 27, 2014 No Those are all inverse primitives below a transparent playfield c/o triple strike
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted September 27, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 27, 2014 Now that's just crazy... Crazy awesome!!!
Content Provider ICPjuggla Posted September 27, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 27, 2014 Fren Fast Draw is looking wicked cool. Awesome work so far.. Keep me updated on OXO. it would be awesome to see that table finished, I did put in a lot of work on it.. :-)
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 27, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 27, 2014 I sent the table to UW, he'll convert the FP script to it. Still need b2s so I've got my ears and eyes open. I never did get it visually where I wanted it, hopefully UW has the finishing touch for it
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 27, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 27, 2014 Alright, table is VISUALLY 95% complete, need to add lighting, a couple little things here and there, then scripting
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 29, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 29, 2014 Anyone able to help me with this? The script I'm converting over uses reels and when I put the reels on the backdrop it fucks up the draw order and starts looking funky. Unclewilly what about converting the FP script? I don't know anything about original table scripting but I really want to finish this table.
Stevoz Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Nice...though I would not call it on the VISUALLY 95% complete...? POP bumpers, lower inside ball guides, what's that black stuff up there, rails don't look shiny or round, oh and no phillips screws back then?...just saying what I see that seems not right to me? Played it often many moons ago.. http://www.ipdb.org/showpic.pl?id=828&picno=23258&zoom=1 I could script it, no problem there this is a simple table, compared to the originals I've scripted..though really that's not something I'm likely to do in a week, maybe a month or so...if you're game. Then again it maybe the beer speaking...ya all know I'm an asshole and an opinion have we all..
Content Provider Itchigo Posted September 29, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 29, 2014 Someone say EM Db2s? I could help with the backglass, but I suck at imaging so give me the ball in play snippets, etc. Or better yet, give me a backglass image with all the lights on (match, ball in play- no GI). Then I'll just cut them out. Here's what II mean.
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 29, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 29, 2014 Not really sure if you're serious Stevoz so I'm going to assume you're not. The pop bumpers are done in my SS, my rails are shinier than that photo, I'll use whatever screws I like - nobody uses flatheads anymore they're useless, the black stuff is the backdrop, yea I'm missing the drain rails but that's not even 1%. If you're gonna nag me about stuff that's missing at least be a completist. Missing the ball stopper on the shooter lane, missing the gate, missing scorecards, missing the certificate at the top left of the upper apron, oh and I have 2 too many plastic peg caps.
Administrators Wildman Posted September 29, 2014 Administrators Posted September 29, 2014 Then again it maybe the beer speaking...ya all know I'm an asshole and an opinion have we all.. Hey I Resemble that remark Steve.....Is It possible that there are 2 beer drinkin assholes in the world ? LMFAO...........
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted September 29, 2014 Content Provider Posted September 29, 2014 I can lend a hand on the OXO backglass... The scary thing is that this is a working dB2S backglass
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted September 29, 2014 Author Content Provider Posted September 29, 2014 gtxjoe wanna lend a hand with fast draw? I have a few issues currently, so even if you can't script EMs I could use a second set of eyes. also that's scary.
