Content Provider bodydump Posted December 14, 2012 Content Provider Share Posted December 14, 2012 100%100% Here's a WIP for a table noone really wants. Needs sounds, some additional coding (b2b, ball rolling, etc) and physics but it's built and playable Click here to view the article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Dazz Posted December 14, 2012 Administrators Share Posted December 14, 2012 Wow, BD. That looks great! Is this the first time you've post this? I don't think I've seen this one anywhere. Never heard of the table, but it looks freaking great and will definitely get some play on my cabinet.

Content Provider Herweh Posted December 14, 2012 Content Provider Share Posted December 14, 2012 BD, looks absolutely awesome. Why do you mean nobody wants it? Since it's a Gottlieb from the 90's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bent98 Posted December 14, 2012 Content Provider Share Posted December 14, 2012 You really went crazy on this one. Thanks for letting me get to test this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faralos Posted December 16, 2012 Share Posted December 16, 2012 no one in their right mind would ever want a real Gottleib! jk I am sure there are some masochists out there who like crappy pins but your build of it looks sweet and I hope there isa 4:3 or WS version coming out soon too I play on a desktop monitor and I know this site is dedicated to mainly cab users but I can dream can't I?

Content Provider bodydump Posted December 17, 2012 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 17, 2012 Wow, BD. That looks great! Is this the first time you've post this? I don't think I've seen this one anywhere. Never heard of the table, but it looks freaking great and will definitely get some play on my cabinet. Yea, this is the first time. It's actually a somewhat rare game like 800 made. Unfortunately rare doesn't necessarily mean good. I picked it because it looked like an easier build and I had just enough resources to do it. Honestly, I find it pretty fun, which probably means my VP version isn't anything like the real one physics-wise. If you need help with the B2B and Ball rolling, I can help. I may take you up on that since I'm currently struggling with errors in the b2b department. but your build of it looks sweet and I hope there isa 4:3 or WS version coming out soon too I play on a desktop monitor and I know this site is dedicated to mainly cab users but I can dream can't I? I will be doing a desktop version as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider Itchigo Posted December 17, 2012 Content Provider Share Posted December 17, 2012 Looking awesome BD!! I don't see this place as slanted towards Cabinets Faralos, I think most of the people that are here have cabinets. And what's wrong with Gottlieb anyway??

This site isn't dedicated to cabinet users... 4:3/WS tables and users are definitely welcome. It's just that cabinet users are moving this hobby forward.

faralos Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 having had the oppurtunity to work on most brands of commercial pins in the 80's I gotta' say that Gottleibs, Atari and DataEast pins sucked, at least the ones I had to fix anyway they were always breaking or had weird board problems esp the DataEast and Atari ones! just my opinion but I tend to prefer Williams or Bally pins over the rest but hey everyone has a personal fave mine tends to be any Williams pin We had one of the (in)famous Airborne Avengers: put out by Atari) and this piece of turd sucked royally always having board problems to the day it blew up with a neat little fire in the backbox taking out all the boards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faralos Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 so cab owners are the only ones moving this hobby forward eh?why is that? that excludes me then as I won't ever have or own one I prefer the looks of a 4:3 over a cab pin any day they still look cartoonish to me and flat as well and to be honest I don't really play that much any more I am more into the actual build of them rather than the playing of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider Itchigo Posted December 18, 2012 Content Provider Share Posted December 18, 2012 I don't think it looks cartoonish, that's the way they looked in the day. The graphics were a bit cartoonish, but that's the way they looked in the day. That looks as good as it ever could on a 2-d monitor. I wish I could get my stuff to look half as good. I look forward to playing it at work (laptop) or at home (cab). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koadic Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 On the B2B front, I have some adjusted scripting that I worked on with JimmyFingers to fix a few remaining issues with the original scripting, along with a version with an adjustment for the Z axis so a ball on a ramp doesn't 'collide' with a ball on the playfield (currently untested though) Here is the standard version of the scripting that you can just copy/paste at the end of the table script with some included XP x64 detection for automatic disabling... http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12758951/Code Snippets/B2B scripting v2.txt I also have some scripting from Jimmy for adding Ball Rolling sounds as well which ties into the B2B scripting and handled automatically. I can post that too if you wish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bodydump Posted December 19, 2012 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks, koadic. I think Jimmy may have given me that script and the ball rolling one when he helped me with my Sharpshooter table. DeeGor got mine working on this table. It was incredibly embarassing. There was an errant apostraphe in front of the autodetect line thereby disabling the whole b2b script. I felt like one of those people who call the tv repair guy only to find out their tv was unplugged. Now I'm working on getting the saucer/kickers to act more realistic based on ball speed. Getting close to finishing. Building tables is so time consuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bodydump Posted December 22, 2012 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 22, 2012 [warn='Need Help. Really close to being finished but have run into a weird issue that I can't seem to figure out. When the table tilts, the ball release spits out a ball before the ball(s) drain and if a ball is in a kicker during a tilt it stays there until the game ends. Seems to happen on the old vp8 version as well. Might be an emulation issue. If so maybe some custom script could be used as a work around?][/warn] If you have any ideas/suggestions, let me know here or by PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faralos Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 the graphics look like Taxi or High Speed to me and they are both solid pins imo I like that 'cartoonish' look better than the newer pins with real pics in them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bodydump Posted January 12, 2013 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 12, 2013 Here's the desktop version. Tables pretty much done other than sorting out some tilt issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Dazz Posted January 12, 2013 Administrators Share Posted January 12, 2013 I have the directB2S pretty much ready to go for this table. The Arrest displays should be red, but the designer does not allow for different color displays yet. I've been told that it is coming soon though and I'll update the B2S at that time.

luvthatapex Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Beautiful work! Everything is so crisp and colorful yet the GI glow is present and not too bright. Very nicely balanced. Props for your first table! Can't wait to try it out. Here's the desktop version. Tables pretty much done other than sorting out some tilt issues.
