Content Provider xenonph Posted March 6, 2023 Content Provider Share Posted March 6, 2023 View File Last Starfighter, The (Taito, 1983) Last Starfighter, The (Taito, 1983) v1.01 PUP and Non-PUP (VPX7.2 Required) by Xenonph and HiRez00 Original VPX table by JPSalas Graphics, PUP Videos, and Animations by HiRez00 Backglass and Wheels by HiRez00 Gunstar Ship 3D Toy by DonRutler Sounds and extra lighting by Xenonph This is a graphics and sound mod of Fire Action De Lux (Taito 1983) v4.0. THIS TABLE IS DEDICATED TO MY BROTHER DAN!!! This table is based on a SciFi movie named "The Last Starfighter" made in 1983. While TRON stole most of the thunder just the year before for groundbreaking special effects, The Last Starfighter was made with the best special effect technology at the time. It is also a great story!! What video game junkies only dream about!! Being recruited to a space force because you are good at playing a video game!!! (I am still waiting for Skywalker to come pick me up, as I am a damn good X-Wing pilot on Playstation!! lol) Anyways, Video Game master gets recruited to spaceforce, saves the world and possibly the galaxy!! Who wouldn't love it!! There are 2 versions available. All of the following changes are on both versions, except the Pup version has animated apron videos. v1.01 PUP and Non-PUP Moved the "holes" for the right slingshot from the playfield, to under right slingshot. Added a lighting effect "under" the explosions animations. Added holes and wood areas in the playfield under the 6 targets. Added a very light "shadow" to the playfield art for the plastics. Re-worked the apron preparing it for the pup version. Translated the instruction card to english and moved it to the right. Shifted some art around on the apron to accommodate. Added "white" under the plastics on the playfield, and adjusted some lights to line up in the holes. Made the wire thickness of the roll-overs thinner. Ball Shadows were playing on exact same plane as playfield, so script was editted and there is no flickering now. Added Pup Videos that are played on the apron. Put the pup pack in your PupVideos folder. v1.0 Added 156 sound FX and Music. Added Fluppers Flashers. Backwall graphics can be toggled with the Buy-In key. (2 key) LUT's toggled with Left and Right Magna-Save keys. DonRutler made a 3D Gunstar Ship. HiRez00 added 2 explosion animations and did all graphics. An animated Apron version is in the works so stay tuned! Acknowledgements and Thanks: I first would like to thank JPSalas for allowing mods without permission. (I asked his permission anyways) I would also like to thank him for making a great table!!! This table was made in the same year as the movie!! I used his version 4.0 for this mod. There is much more important info on original download page. He put in alot of time and work on the original table, and it is appreciated!! So if you like this mod, I would encourage you to thank the original author of the table, as I have only made a few changes! JPSalas Original Table... http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=13430 Find ROM here...(Uses Fire Action Deluxe ROM "fireactd" ) http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=584 IPDB... https://www.ipdb.org/machine.cgi?id=4552 I would also like to thank HiRez00 for doing all of the graphics on everything, including Backglass, DT backdrop, Playfield, Apron, Plastics, Backwalls, and Wheels!! And all of the animations!! And the PUP Videos!! He did a great job!! HUGE THANKS!! I would also like to thank DonRutler for making the Gunstar Ship 3D toy!! Excellent job!! Can't thank you enough!! I also would like to thank Flupper for his great Flasher resource table!! I would also like to thank Thalamus for telling me how to use resource tables!! I also would like to thank Allknowing2012 and Gtxjoe for teaching me how to add timers to script! I also would like to thank DJRobX, STAT, Gtxjoe, and nFozzy, for helping me shorten my StopSounds and PlaySounds script commands. (They each wrote out an example, and between them all, I was able to figure it out!! BIG THANKS!!!) I would also like to thank DJRobX for showing me example of flasher script command for flasher placement in FS mode. I also would like to thank STAT for his "Team Change script", which my script is based on. I also would like to thank Steve "Slydog43" for which these VPX mods would not be possible!! Place LStarfighter folder in your music folder located where you installed Visual Pinball.

mlevant1965 Posted March 11, 2023 Share Posted March 11, 2023 (edited) Love love the table! One question. Is the pup pack video supposed to be also playing on the backglass? It is playing on the apron but also on the back glass. Unless I miss something in the instructions. Or can I move it ?Thank you!

I recently found out that if you go to Puppack editor and select Last Starfighter, under Pup11, in the far right, change the first number from 2 to 3 3,0,0,30,40. This will hide the backglass image behind the playfield. I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
