View File Conan the Barbarian - FIRE AND STEEL EDITION (source - Conan, Rowamet 1983 SoundMOD v2.1 by Xenonph, mod by Arminio) "... Let me tell you of the days of high adventure!" CONAN THE BARBARIAN - FIRE AND STEEL EDITION - mod - with "Forge mode", extra scoring, some new graphics, lighting, sounds, new LUT (Steel mood), 4 different aprons, 9 flipper looks etc. ... This table is a modified version of "Conan (Rowamet 1983) VPX Sound+Reg MOD" VPX table v2.1, made by Xenonph. Mod made with permission from Xenonph. Original table can be downloaded here: https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/4880-conan-rowamet-1983-vpx-soundreg-mod/ With this mod you can use any backglass made for Conan table and mods, but you can also try my "FIRE AND STEEL" b2s - I think it fits nice + you get some extra light animation supported by code in this mod.

Additional music and sound effect are from pixabay.com (by various artists). Detail credits are in script. Some additional graphics taken from various internet sources but don't know original authors - so, thank you whoever you are! RECOMMENDATIONS: ****************** I strongly recommend: Use F1 menu to turn OFF all ROM sounds (F1 options) to enjoy full glory of the score and sounds + ROM plays parts of Rolling Stones songs which really does not fit here... (currently in VPX 10.8 - at least in version I use, it is impossible to turn on/off music from script without restarting game so turning off via F1 menu is the way to go for now) Set DIP switches (F6 options) as it is recommended in PDF file. Settings I like I added in ZIP (Recomended_DIP_switches-F6_menu.png) so feel free to try them or use them as a starting point... If you play this mod in cabinet mode, please set "View layout mode" (F12 menu) to "Window" and set POV settings. Otherwise you may have problems with positions of some graphic elements and reflections etc... So, for those of you who already don't have all that set, I added my INI with my POV settings in ZIP - it is far from perfect but works OK on my setup, and maybe can be helpful as a starting point for your setup. ZIP CONTENT: ************ VPX (of course ) INI file with my POV settings (as said above, maybe it won't work for you but you can maybe use it as a base for your setup) New music files (details below) Instruction card PDF with some detail instructions and recommended F6 DIP switch settings (based on original Bally's 1979 Rolling Stones manual and adapted for Conan and this mod) Screenshot of my favorite settings for DIP switch options (F6 menu) ABOUT MOD: *********** Conan! The Barbarian! Oh man! When I watched that 1982 classic in cinema, back in the 80's, it was a huge hit in my country and, as a 15 year old kid, I was mesmerized! Apart from the fact that movie was different from comic books and novels I read before I watched it, entire movie tone, incredible soundtrack (but not even a candidate for an Oscar - can you believe that?!?), and big bodybuilder with impossible-to-pronounce surname in a leading role was stuck in my mind forever. Never had a chance to play real pinball with Conan theme, except virtual recreation of Rowamet's 1983 pinball machine. And I must say it was fun! And version I like the most is the one I used for this mod - Xenonph sound mod with amazing music score and sounds. Now, original VPX and all mods are excellent "remake" of the real thing (according to images on IPDB and some low quality youtube videos of the real machine). But the Rowamet design does not give much credit to the movie - so I decided to change some things... Still, I wanted to keep red tone and feel because it is perfectly fine and I did not want to change it much (I toned it a bit darker). But I tried to get it more "Conan-like" and more like a real machine, more "connected" to the 1982 movie, but also added a bit of a Conan comic book style (apron, b2s...). And with a new "Steel" LUT (actually, mix of LUT and graphic changes), you still can get a very different color tone and feel. Basic changes are in main table graphics - Rowamet put an official movie poster there, while I wanted to go with alternate posters with some modifications (I know Thulsa Doom snake head is not from the movie, but cut me some slack because this fits better here ). You can choose between several different aprons (from mentioned comic book style to a bit modified original look), flippers and rubber looks (from classic white/red combination to "After the battle" scratched steel, black, gold, messy rubber etc... - you can set top and rubber separately), already mentioned "Steel" LUT, some new sounds and mechanical effects, new score (same tracks, but in "full glory"), complete desktop mode redesign, lot of customization of various sound volumes etc. etc. etc. ... And this mod also have a new game "mode" and additional scoring: "FORGE MODE" - is activated by hitting target behind the sword (pointed with the sword) in the moment when sword is lit (while blinking, hit it exactly in the moment when it is lit - that requires a bit of luck and/or good timing). If ball drains during "Forge mode", it will be returned back in game. Mode lasts 10/20 seconds (configurable in script) or until ball drains (which comes first). Forge mode settings (duration, behavior, on/off...) can be set via options in script (check "OPTIONS TO USE" in script). Additional scoring: when you hit target pointed by the sword in exact moment when sword is lit (no matter if "FORGE MODE" is on/off/active), you get some extra points (300 or 3000 - depends on DIP switch settings - check F6 options and instructional PDF). MUSIC INFO AND TIPS: ******************* Just place CONAN folder in your Music folder. And if you already have CONAN folder with OGG files from Xenonph original table, don't worry - new files have different names and won't overwrite originals so you can have both and even use old ones if you prefer them more (by setting option "NewMusicSoundtrack" to False in script - check script for details). If music is too loud (and new tracks tend to be a bit louder because of full and "punchy" audio), you can always reduce music volume in F12 menu. CHANGES: ********* There are lot of changes, so here is a list of most important ones (details also in script): New music track files (external OGG files) - the same music as in Xenonph version (amazing selection!), but with more bass and punch (I used all the same music pieces again from various soundtrack sources, in full sound quality). Also, you can play using original music files from source table if you have it and prefer them more - see script option "NewMusicSoundtrack" in "OPTIONS TO USE" section... Additional intro speech added: Conan's prayer to Crom from "Battle against Doom Warriors" scene (chosen randomly between original intro and this one when game starts) Added some new sounds and mechanical effects/changed existing ones (various targets hits, extra ball kicker horse gallop, plunger ball kicks, bumper hits, target drops, sensors... etc.) Various sound and volume settings available from script... See options in section "OPTIONS TO USE" in script Changed a way how sound is played in some cases (no more music restarts if ball is re-launched, "cleaner" mixing of sounds with mechanical sound effects on hits + playback with a little delay to hear mechanical sounds better etc...) New main table graphics + various color and graphics changes on bumpers, pegs, caps, plastics, metal parts, screws... Some metallic parts are now colidable with ball, changed environment lighting etc. - all this to fit my vision and to get a bit different, and possibly more realistic look and feel (I hope it works)... + Better visibility of some parts/larger numbers etc. (for us with old eyes and/or 3D TVs ) + new lighting effects (flashers and most of classic lights replaced with halo lights etc.), some light spills fixed... All references to Rolling Stones replaced with references to Conan - on table (D-O-O-M instead 1-2-3-4 targets, THULSA instead small indicator for 5x bonus above D-O-O-M, CROM target etc...), F6 DIP switches menu, F12 menu instructions, instruction card on apron... Small changes of physic on flippers and table to get a bit more feel of ball weight (not much of a difference from source table, but still a little bit different ) + small changes of physics on plunger for easier ball launch... 4 different aprons - modded original + comic book style + fire (2 variations) - can be set via F12 menu 5+4 flipper looks - you can set 5 top and 4 rubber styles/colors separately - also set via F12 menu 14 LUTs - 13 original levels of brightness (from source table) + "Steel" mood (new LUT with some graphic "tweaks" which changes color tones to silvery-white). Also use F12 menu to set, instead magna save keys Ball and flippers shadows added Added a pin on a center drain between flippers to reduce accidental drains because ball can drops there too easily. Now ball can bounce back... Keys usage fixed - instead numbers, logical names of keys are used (compatible with VPX 10.8) New game feature added: FORGE MODE - as explained above... Additional scoring added - also as explained above... Complete desktop mode redesign - from background to LED placements + lockdown bar added + all text replaced with images (no embedded font that can cause problems on newer versions of Windows) etc... + Option to turn off all background info and logo for those of you who uses b2s in desktop mode (see "BackGlassOnDesktop" option in script) When TILT: music stops, new scream added. New b2s backglass created to use with this mod (additional light animations on b2s). ASCII art added to script... Etc., etc., etc. ...
