Medusa (Bally 1981) w VR Room

---

Version 2.0 by UnclePaulie 2023
  
This version was done with UnclePaulie's Elektra as a baseline to start, since both were Bally 1981.  I built everything ground up from there.  Used a few prims and images from JP's prior table, as well as some logic.  Also used EBisLit's playfield.

 

Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, a new playfield from EBisLit, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new baked general illumination lighting and AO shadows, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, saucer, playfield meshes, various primitives, etc.  Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, kickouts, and overall playability.  I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for the playfield, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucer. 

 

Thank you to EBisLit for the playfield image, and Redbone for upscaling and cleaning up the plastics image. Thanks to iaakki for teaching me how to bake the GI and AO shadows.  Thank you to JPSalas for some of the primitives used (backwall lights, lower flippers, and bumpers).  Also for some of the logic.  Thanks to Hauntfreaks for the backglass images.  Thank you to Bord for the upper flipper images. And thank you to the VPW team for testing, especially apophis, BountyBob, RobbyKingPin, Tastywasps, Wylte, and PinStratsDan.

 

There are several options in the script.  Including VR, ball brightness, and LUT lighting options.  The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave.  The Dip Switch settings are done in the script and are hardcoded.  IF... you want to change them, there's a setting in the script to manually override that, and then use F6 during gameplay to bring up the Dip Switch setting.  

 

This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.74, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet.   Additional VR options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit.

 

Thanks again to EBisLit, Redbone, iaakki, and the VPW team!
