Transformers Pro (Stern 2011) v2.1 (DT-FS-FSS-VR)

---

Autobots roll out!

 

This great table has been in the hands of many before I touched it.
gtxjoe and freneticamnesic made the first version in VP 9.9.
JPSalas made the VPX version.
HauntFreaks made the detail mod.
UnclePaulie brought JP's version into VR.
SG1bsoN made the lighting mod based of HauntFreaks version.
And this mod started out as SG1bsoN's version.
It has branched off so much from the first VPX version.
JP also kept on updating and innovating his version.
So I decided to try to merge it all back into this VR-hybrid version.
I have learned a lot from the VPW Example Table and had so much help, guidance and feedback from the very best!

 

This table requires VP 10.8 RC3 and VPinMame 3.6-929 or higher when available to ensure the best gameplay experience and supports both 32 and 64 bit.
I would only recommend using released versions and try to stay away from the actions page because it seems like for every fix they got they also can break something else.
Only if you are having performance issues I'd carefully try one of those versions I don't recommend.
That's on your own risk to do so.

 

VR-Hybrid version by RobbyKingPin, TastyWasps, Retro27, HauntFreaks, HayJay, Nestorgian, fluffhead35 & DaRdog81

 

This mod contains the following improvements:

- nFozzy/Rothbauerw physics and Fleep sound with Rothbauerw standup targets
- VPW Dynamic Ball Shadows
- VPW Options UI with LUT and a great amount of customized items to choose like custom aprons, instruction cards, sideblades and speakerpanels
- PWM GI, flashers and inserts plus the option for non modulated lights and a failsafe if you don't use VPinMame 3.6, altough you really should because PWM is looking really good
- Flupper Domes, Inserts and Allspark
- Support for DT, FS, FSS and VR
- Compatible with the Standalone player
- 2 VR Rooms

 

Update v.2.1:
The older versions got broken by an update on VPinMame, all the PWM flashers were no longer being lit.
So this was very experimental when I started and updating it to the new norm brought many more problems, all JP's fading codes didn't work so all the inserts were all not responding correct any longer.
So I basically had to throw out everything and start over, so I did exactly that and much more.

Compared to the old version there is so much more stuff added like Flupper's 3D inserts and edited playfield with cutouts and edited primitives on the Flupper Domes.
The Allspark works like a Flupper Dome, new PWM on GI. 
All inserts now work automaticly with the power of the latest VPX 10.8, so this table no longer supports VPX 10.7 but is built to last for years now.
I also updated all nFozzy/Rothbauerw physics to the latest standards.
And I added support for FSS so all formats are now fully supported.
I reached out to our soldier DarDog81 to help me get a second VR room and he exceeded all of my expectations.
He added a massive battleground of a destroyed city where Optimus Prime and Megatron are duking it out for all eternity and some supporting cast as well really putting the VR experience to the max.
To me this is more than just a update, it's almost a total new game but this is my passion and I hope it shows.

 

Perfect pairing with backglass made by HauntFreaks.

 

Or perfect pairing for players who prefer the pup-pack made by TerryRed. This also works in VR replacing the original backglass.

This table will not load for me. Just did and upgrade to 10.8 and also updated vpmamme. running 64 bit  all tables work except this one. any ideas?

[RobbyKingPin]

Sorry, forgot about the fact we also have support topics. Not really sure what I can do to help. It has to be something you overlooked. Please try to download these files and try again

Link to latest VPX 10.8
Link to VPinMame SC 3.6

[Rascal]

I can't get version 2.0.1 to load. It hangs on Preparing table and Starting Game Script, both in 32 bit and 64bit of version 10.8.0.1367. Anyone else having this issue?

Edited September 2, 2023 by Rascal

[RobbyKingPin]

So it seems this issue was solved by updating to the version of 10.8.1392 or higher. Issue resolved on our Discord

Hi ,i need your help, the table loading correctly but when i start the table i have this error  , can you help me pleaaase    big thanks

 

[RobbyKingPin]

It looks like this is part of the Fleep Sound package, but looking at the code itself it feels like the ball is not getting released. Might be send to Narnia perhaps (vertical drop into the black void that never ends). Did you update VPX and VPinMame like I mentioned in the updated description? Do you hear weird sounds when loading the table perhaps?
