Content Provider TerryRed Posted February 25, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 25, 2022 OK.... "one" last feature to add.... Sonic Ball I can't believe I almost forgot to add this! It's the one thing most people ask about when it comes to Sonic Pinball. A Sonic ball! I added the Sonic texture, but also added bump maps which make it look really nice with FP's dynamic lighting. I also added a yellow Super Sonic ball as well for Super Sonic mode. Looks real neat with the Invincibility effect, and the Shield, and the Sonic Shoes trail. This is an "option" that can be toggled with Magna Save buttons (you need to wait for a new ball to be created for it to take effect)... or you can enable it in script options. Locking everything down.... testing.... cleaning things up... getting REAL close guys. SPM - Sonic Ball.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider TerryRed Posted February 28, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 28, 2022 Amazing video showcase of new features, all Game Modes, and Super Sonic! This new 4K 60fps video really showcases this table's stunning visuals, lighting, ray cast shadows, detailed models, and EPIC all new gameplay and modes. You really have to watch the whole video to believe it! Enjoy this video while I'm in the final stages of creating rulesheets, install instructions, pov CFG files, etc and packaging everything together. Please remember this is NOT a PinEvent version (DOF, SSF, PUP). That will come at a later time. BAM Update: This table REQUIRES the new BAM update 1.5-345 that was just released! You can get that here: https://www.ravarcade.pl/download Backup your entire BAM folder, then install the new BAM update (extract files from zip and copy into BAM folder, overwrite all files). Then copy these 3 files: BAM.cfg Reality.dat Default.cfg from your backup BAM folder into the BAM folder, and overwrite them (these are your BAM settings from before). Hang tight... it's almost here!

Content Provider TerryRed Posted March 30, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted March 30, 2022 Sonic Pinball Mania (PinEvent V2) - PUPDMD first preview Ring Hunt Well, I'm getting close to finishing the first PinEvent V2 release which will Sonic Pinball Mania. Hard to believe its been over 1 years since I've done anything pup related. Here you can see the PUPDMD display is using the newer drop shadows feature for the text. The 7 chaos emeralds, the 4 powerups, and the item box all graphically change to show what you've collected, or can collect on the main game in real-time. The text at the bottom gives you hints to what you need to do. The upper left and upper right show how many rings you've collected and how many you've banked. Lots of videos for many table events are created with really sharp looking animated text and effects, with LOTs of colour. You can see Sonic running in the background... and this changes depending on the mode you are playing in. Love how this turned out! pupdmd ring hunt.mp4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider TerryRed Posted August 17, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted August 17, 2022 Sonic Pinball Mania (PinEvent V2 - FizX) - Future Pinball - BAM 1.4 - FizX update! Now Available! The highly anticipated first PinEvent V2 table to use the new FizX physics system for FP is here! The days of FP's old physics are gone! FizX This table has been fully updated with FizX for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. The old Future Pinball physics are GONE! FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference! FizX Profiles and settings You can easily choose from different preset FizX physics settings in the table script. Some use a higher FPS for the physics (this requires a fast PC), others use stronger flippers! You aren't limited by this however. You can change all of FizX's settings to completely tweak and adjust the physics to your own preference! Read the Install Instructions for more information. Changelog (v1.4) - updated entire table for FizX physics - added plastics reflective layer - added new GI shadows layer - added second stage flippers option - added speed booster to right wireramp to ensure ball completes loop if hitting bots - fixed Ball Saver not activating when launching a new ball (you can now adjust the time in TABLE OPTIONS) As always... READ the included Install Instructions for all the information you need. It also includes a FAQ that will answer most questions. I really hope you guys enjoy this major change with FP tables and how much better they can play now. I invite everyone who has never played FP before to give this a try. Many "VPX-only" testers have installed (or re-installed) FP just to try this, and they have been amazed at the difference. I think you will be too! You can get Sonic Pinball Mania (PinEvent V2 - FizX) here (once approved). https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/9345-sonic-pinball-mania-pinevent-v2-fizx/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider TerryRed Posted December 10, 2022 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 10, 2022 Sonic Pinball Mania (PinEvent V2, FizX, Future Pinball - BAM) 1.5 update (Spin Dash and Magna-Spinner) - Coming very soon! This video shows some new updates and two cool new features I always wanted to add... and now they are here! One is a new Magna-Spinner toy that will let you trap a ball and choose where it will propel to... without using any flippers! The other is the iconic Sonic Spin Dash that lets you stop the ball anywhere on the playfield, charge up your spin, and DASH the ball in the direction you want! Both these features completely change the gameplay, and also make the dreaded ManiaModes shot MUCH easier! Many other fixes, refinements and changes make this table much more accessible and fun to play and gives you a better chance at becoming Super Sonic! The video has chapters, so you can jump right to the demo of each feature if you want. Coming VERY soon to Future Pinball - BAM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
