Indiana Jones - Fortune and Glory Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)

 

Version 1.3 (Feb 2024)

 

Original wip table build by: GLXB & Highlnder00

Ultimate Pro update by: SLAMT1LT

Fortune and Glory Edition, PinEvent Lite, FizX update by: TerryRed

 

 

Do not make the mistake in thinking this is the same as the Stern table. The layout and art are where the similarities end. SLAMT1LT did a massive update to the older WIP build of this table years ago for his Ultimate Pro update which completely changes this to a new game. New gameplay / rules / code, new sounds / voices / music, new lighting effects, new videos, new freeshots / action button and more.

 

I've never played the original (real) Stern table (only the VP version). Once I played the FP Ultimate Pro table, I was blown away, and it has become one of my favorite all time tables. BAM has had many new updates and new features added since the original Ultimate Pro table was released years ago. I'm a big Indy fan, so I really wanted to add my own bit of flair to this amazing table.

 

I've also overhauled this table and modernized it to my own preferences for lighting, shadows, FizX physics, and more. I added some new features and many fixes that prevented game progression, etc. This table takes full advantage of BAM's latest features with full dynamic lighting and ray cast shadows and shadowmaps to create a stunning visual pinball showcase! Top that off with all new FLEEP mechanical sounds! This makes an already great game look / sound / play absolutely amazing. I love it!

 

 

 

 

 

This table has been fully updated with FizX physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics 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!

 

 

PinEvent Lite

 

 

I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc.

 

PinEvent Lite features for this table:

 

• DOF (basic config, no custom animated effects... yet)
• PUP (simple backglass and speaker grill options)
• PUP SSF
• Night Mode
• TILT BOB

 

NOTE: PinEvent Lite tables do NOT have PUP-Pack options that include support for PUPDMD / videos / modern text, etc. That will come at a later date, when the table is upgraded to PinEvent V2.

 

 

DMDExt

 

Cabinet users will need to use DMDExt to mirror the FP DMD to their DMD display / real DMD. Read the included Install Instructions for more info and links on how to do this.

====================================================================

 

 

ACTION and FREESHOT

 

On the apron you will see lights for Action and Freeshot. These indicate when you can use these functions. They are activated with plunger, special 1, special 2 buttons.

 

Action

• not all lit shots are allowed for a Freeshot
• there are other times when you are NOT allowed to make a Freeshot (you’ll hear a buzz if you try) such as when a ball is held, a ball is in a kicker, a mode starts, during some video sequences, etc.

 

 

 

 

TABLE OPTIONS

 

 

 

 

BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:

 

• this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
• this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
• this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
• if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)

 

To disable this feature, you MUST disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script)

 

BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:

 

• BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
• this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times
• on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

Physics: FizX v3.3


===================================================================


Game not running smooth? Try the following:

 

• run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
• disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS (in table script)
• disable Reflections options in FP's Video / Rendering settings

As always terry an excellent table  

[PsychoKiller]

Sorry, Im really lost. I've been reading about how to get the dmd to mirror on my cabinet, but I don't really understand. Ive never used scripts before, and Im lost on how to get the dmd working on my FullDMD for this table. Ive read the instructions for the game, I went to the links provided and read those instructions, and found that I need to put this into the front end Launch

"c:

cd "C:\vPinball\FuturePinball"

start /min "" "dmdext.exe" mirror --source=futurepinball -q --virtual-stay-on-top --fps 60 -g "[GAMENAME]" --use-ini="DmdDevice.ini""

 

and this in the close script 

"taskkill /f /im "dmdext.exe"

 

Where exactly do I put these? Im using pinup popper as my front end and I have all ready upgraded everything using Future Pinball and BAM Essentials AIO package by watching his tutorial. 

 

Im sure I would need to change the [GAMENAME] to Indiana Jones - Fortune and Glory Edition (PinEvent Lite - FizX - 1.0) since that is what its called by default.

I am using the Legends Pinball which I have completely gutted, replaced backbox with the Buy Stuff Arcade backbox. 

 

If anyone can help me out, I'd really appreciate it. 

 

Thanks.

My linked DMDext page links to Baller Installer Popper examples here. Make sure the paths are correct. Read what it's telling you. Your setup may be different than mine. This is nothing new. It was always required for FP tables without a PUPDMD option.

Hey there,

 

I updated FP and BAM per your latest instructions. Sonic ran fine (my first self-installed FP table). I installed this table and ran it, but am getting the following error as soon as I launch the ball:

 

Pinball Meditation Error

Script Error: Line 2665

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'xBAM.Ball.angularSpeed'

 

Could you advise?

This happened to me and it was because I did NOT have the very latest BAM update installed. I thought I did but sure didn't.

Good Evening,

 

I'm also having issues with the DMDExt, but it might be a little different than the others that I've been reading.

 

I installed the tables on my 3 screen cabinet with FullDMD,  I was able to get everything working including moving the DMDExt to the Full DMD.  

 

I then proceed to install it on my 2 screen 5x4 cabinet.  I configured the PupPack accordingly and was able to get the DmDExt placed properly.  The only issue is that I cannot get the DMD to be the top most layer over the backglass.  If I Alt+Tab, it shows up in the correct position, but out of the box, it does not overlay the backglass.   I am using the DMDExt and the INI from the AIO package.

 

Any thoughts on where I might look?  I';ve looked at the PupPack definition for the 5x4 and it looks right for a background layer.  It is pretty consistent across all of the "Lite" tables that the DMDExt is only popping forward if I Alt+Tab it.

 

Thanks for thinking about this and any pointers you might be able to give.
