View File Jurassic Park, Revised Slamt1lt Edition (Data East, 1993) (Color DMD, SSF-PUP 2.0, 3 Monitor Setup, FizX 3.3) This posting updates Slamt1lt’s Jurassic Park ULTIMATE Pro version 1.05. This table introduces three new features that have not been added to my previous table mods: 1. Faster game play on FizX – Several users asked me whether FizX could be made to play faster, and I suspected many others would appreciate the option as well. After working on this intermittently for about two months, I developed a solution that is included in this update. Four speed settings are available: Slow, Medium, Fast and Very Fast. The Slow setting matches the original FizX game speed. End users can boost the very fast game speed to make it even faster (or make other changes) with guidance provided in the instruction PDF file in the download. 2. Correct HUD DMD aspect ratio – A new version of BAM corrects the aspect ratio of the HUD DMD and it has the same shape as the backbox DMD. This feature requires some simple set up with guidance provided in the instruction PDF file included in the download. 3. Ball rolling sounds for ramps on cabinets - This table uses an updated FizX template with PUP 2.0 support. With PUP 2.0, you’ll hear ball rolling sounds on the plastic and wire ramps that are different from those on the playfield. Although I don't have a cabinet, DigitalArts successfully played this table on his cabinet verifying everything works correctly including the ramp sounds. In my Revised Slamt1lt Edition, my goal was to enhance and polish Slamt1lt's work while leaving the core design and gameplay untouched. I also incorporated a few select features from Rom’s version of the table; these are identified in the list of changes below. Slamt1lt's original features included changing playfield light insert colors during gameplay. He also added switchable original and modern audio modes. I personally prefer the modern mode, where Slamt1lt introduced new sounds and music. As expected, he included movie clips from Jurassic Park. Table Requirements BAM 1.5-397 or higher Required to display the HUD and overlays with the correct aspect ratio. BAM_v1.5-397 can be downloaded here: https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/threads/bam-update-v1-5-395.23944/#post-163376 PUP 2.0 This table was coded for PUP Surround Sound Feedback (SSF), which requires PUP 2.0 to function correctly. Follow the same installation method used for TerryRed’s Masters of the Universe Version 1.4. Note: The PUP pack for this table contains audio only (no video) and is used solely for SSF. Desktop users do not need to install PUP 2.0. Other Requirements If you wish to use SSF, the options for Backbox and Arcade Mode must be enabled on the FP Video / Rendering options. you need to change the "DOF_enabled" and "PUP_SSF_enabled" flags in the script to true. Video Overview of the Table and Game Play As with my recent table mods, I’ve added extensive in-game adjustments through a menu system that Gimli and I developed, called the “Tweaker.” Tweakers are available for game settings, lighting, and FizX. You can adjust parameters such as camera views, physics, ambient lighting, and sound levels. The first option in the FizX Tweaker allows you to select the game speeds (slow, medium, fast, very fast) mentioned earlier. The Tweakers include cabinet-friendly DMD displays and overlays. See the instruction manual included in the download for details on using the Tweaker and other table features. Another major upgrade is the complete overhaul of the table’s audio system. Every sound and piece of music is now categorized as music, game sound, sound effect, or voice quote, with independent volume controls for each category available in the game tweaker. Many other changes are identified in the "List of Changes" section which include adding Fleep’s recordings for all of the mechanical sounds. All of the large textures on the table were reworked with increased resolution and color correction. The textures were replaced on the backglass, speaker grill, side blades, apron, and exterior cabinet. Four lighting modes were added for Day, Dusk, Night and Dark Night and can be adjusted by the lighting tweaker. Colors were adjusted on lights used on the table to make them less harsh. See the list for more changes. A popular addition for desktop and VR users is the color DMD, visible in the screenshots. Unfortunately, DMDExt (commonly used on cabinets) does not currently support the color DMD. I’ve requested a feature update at the link below to enable DMD color support, which would also expand color options for other tables. Feedback is encouraged; a login is required, but quick to set up. https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/issues/520 Slamt1lt’s original Jurassic Park table was already a lot of fun to play, and I spent six months refining it. Based on videos of his recent tables, which feature faster gameplay, I believe he would appreciate the faster FizX options included here. After playing at faster speeds, it can be difficult to return to the slow setting. A big thank-you to Pop Bumper Pete for recording a new ball launcher sound to replace the previously used saucer sound. Thanks also to Fourbanks for general testing, and to DigitalArts for testing the three-monitor cabinet version—you can see a photo of his cabinet setup in the included image gallery. Please be sure to read the included PDF for setup instructions and additional tips. Thank you for downloading my table mod—and enjoy Jurassic Park, Revised Slamt1lt Edition! —George List of Changes 1. Replaced 1024x1024 backglass texture with 2048x2048 texture. 2. Added new custom speaker grill. 3. Replaced side blade textures on the inner cabinet wall. 4. Added a new custom apron texture and wire guides. Incorporated some of Slamt1lt’s original text using different colors. 5. Repositioned dinosaur models and adjusted the colors of the Parasaur and other dinosaurs. 6. Replaced the red bulbs at the top of the ramp entrance columns with animated flames that brighten during certain game modes. 7. Added music from the movie that alternates with Slamt1lt’s dinosaur soundtrack during attract mode. 8. Replaced the startup loading texture with 8 optional versions (4 for desktop, 4 for cabinets). Also changed the loading screen text from red to yellow. 9. Increased brightness of the topper and game room. 10. After reviewing Rom’s version, I implemented the flashing backglass bottom lights by copying the six lights, sequencer, and code. (Other unused lights in Rom’s version were not included.) 11. Added a new game room wall texture with an option to switch between it and the original. 12. Replaced the original exterior cabinet texture with two new custom textures. 13. Upscaled the playfield and all the plastics. Upscaled the texture for the "Shoot the T-Rex When Lit" box and edited it to clean it up. Upscaled the texture for the backwall and increased the contrast so it doesn't look washed out. Edited the top area of the backwall where to correct what looked like mistakes made on the graphic. Changed the text on the backwall so it reads from top to bottom on both sides and emphasized the correct words by making them larger. Filled in screw holes from the photos used to create the plastics. 14. Added the "Data East Presents Jurassic Park" to the DMD during the attract mode. Parts of Data East's DMD sequence were deleted and changed. Moved a "Game over" DMD animated sequence so it runs at the end of the game instead of during the attract mode. 15. Upscaled and edited the texture for the model of the amber mosquito. The area of the texture around the mosquito was made brighter to make the wings more obvious. Also added more bulbs so the mosquito is better lit. 16. Added code to eliminate the pop-up that asks for permission for the game to take control of the camera when the game starts. 17. Changed the brightness of the JP logo on the movie clip overlays so it is darker and matches the other frames of the video clips. 18. Added FizX physics and the most recent version of the menu system, called a tweaker. Adjusted the strength of several kickers to make them match FizX. Changed the start angle and swing of the flippers so it is now possible to hit the drop targets on the far left and right sides of the playfield. Adjusted the ramptor pit kicker so it points more to the left so it hits the center of the left flipper. 19, Fourbanks reported that the ball bounced out of the right inlane when dropped from the wire ramp. Invisible walls were added to both sides of the lane to prevent recurrence. Added the same walls to the left inlane. 20. Replaced the round boat kicker with a square kicker to prevent the ball from bouncing out of the kicker without triggering it. 21. Changed many of the colors of the playfield light inserts (and the corresponding colors defined in the script) and bulbs on the playfield and backbox to a less garish version. Reduced the glow radius of the bulbs under the slingshots and lane guides. 22. Found a dip in the ramp at the first bend on the uphill side of the custom ramp model. Added a short invisible FP ramp under the ramp model to fill in the dip and added an invisible wall to the right side of the ramp. Added an invisible approach ramp at the ramp entrance to make the transition between the playfield and ramp smoother. Changed the transition of the plastic ramp and diverter to the wire ramp so it is smoother. Changed the color of the end protector on the ramp exit from white to gray so it is the same color as the original table. 23. Slamt1lt's version changed the brightness of the plastics during game mode changes, but the apron remained dark throughout the game. Changed the apron on this version so it brightens and dims along with the rest of the plastics during gameplay. 24. Added a color DMD to the animated DMD sequences and background color with a border on the DMD text. Set up the DMD text so that the text with the brown background usually has game status info and the orange background usually has action required to identify a game mode (except during the attract mode). Added a section to the beginning of the script called "COLOR DMD STATUS," where cabinet users can turn off the color DMD because DMDExt cannot support it. In the process of making this change, I found some sequences where Slamt1lt missed duplicating some animated sequences on the backglass DMD that are on the HUD DMD. Revised Sub RampLightsOff() and Sub TRaptor1_Hit() to duplicate them. 25. Changed the captive ball configuration so it follows my guide at the following web address and makes it perform better: https://pinballnirvana.com/forums/threads/resolving-problems-with-captive-balls-on-future-pinball.23568/#post-160485 26. Changed the color of the 3 bumpers from greenish yellow caps with white base to yellow caps with dark gray base. 27. Added 6 unused dino sounds so they randomly play when the coin-in button is pressed. (from Rom's version of this table) Also fixed small bug where the voice quote "Hold onto your butts" was never played. 28. Added movement of the playfield texture during the earthquake sequence to make it appear more like an earthquake. Changed the sound played during the earthquake sequence from a mechanical sound to earthquake sound. (from Rom's version of this table) Slamt1lt added a "quick quake" sound that used a similar mechanical sound and was replaced with a short earthquake sound. 29. Duplicated the display of the movie clips onto the apron, mostly to improve visibility for cabinet users. 30. Added game and lighting tweakers. 31. Added lenses to 7 playfield light inserts that were missing. 32. The right side of the backwall was darker on all previous versions of the table. Fixed it by deleting a wall in front of the backwall on the playfield and adding the texture to an overlay at the bottom of the translite. 33. Reshaped the outer orbit lane wall to prevent the ball from getting stuck. 34. Added FizX presets for slow, medium, and fast gameplay. Added an option near the beginning of the script where end users can adjust the default settings. 35. Implemented BAM code allowing scores beyond 2 billion. Verified stability up to 922 trillion points 36. Added game tweaker option to choose video clip display location on the backwall or apron 37. Added option on the game tweaker to select whether the desktop camera view is changed during multiball or not. 38. Added option on the game tweaker to select between 2 audio options during the attract mode or alternate between the 2 during each startup. 39. Added game tweaker option to select between 2 cabinet textures or alternate between the 2 during each startup. 40. Added option on the game tweaker to select between 2 game room textures or alternate between the 2 during each startup. 41. Added 2 new options to the game tweaker. One adjusts how fast the earthquake sequence runs. The other turns the earthquake effect on and off that affects the ball. 42. Added an index to the beginning of the script to simplify finding the most used sections of the script. 43. Removed 14 MB of unused audio (overall file still ~10 MB larger than the original). 44. A rubber backstop was added to the end of the plastic ramp that exits to the left inlane to prevent the ball from bouncing around excessively. 45. Replaced all mechanical sounds with Fleep’s recordings and added ramp ball rolling sounds. 46. Pop Bumper Pete recorded a ball launcher sound that was added to replace the saucer sound previously used. 47. Added ball and flipper shadows. 48. Added an option in the script to disable DMD transition effects for cabinets that don't support it. 49. Updated to AIO template version 3.30.07 (PUP 2.0), enabling ramp ball rolling sounds on cabinets. 50. Categorized every sound and music file in the script. Added a way to adjust each of the 9 categories in the game tweaker. Found 2 misnamed sounds in the script that were corrected so that they will play. 51. Improved T-Rex lighting effect by replacing a dim flasher with a visible spotlight and adjusting brightness. The spotlight illuminates on each hit of the kicker in front of the T-Rex. 52. Created versions for 3 monitor cabinets and rotated display for desktops that are turned to portrait orientation. 53. Created an instruction manual for the table in PDF format, which includes more instructions on how to operate the tweakers than were available on earlier tables.

View File Superman (Ultimate Edition 1.04) (p2.7) (DOFLinx - Cabinet Edition) A video demonstration of this table in a cabinet using DOFLinx can be seen here: DOFLinx - "A powerful utility for cabinet owners to make the most of force feedback and lighting." - by DDH69 This Future Pinball table has DOFLinx commands added to it. This will enable support for pinball cabinet force feedback devices such as solenoids (flippers,bumpers,slingshots,drop targets,etc), RGB lighting and flashers, beacon, strobes, blower fan, shaker and more! Requirements / Installation: Regardless of using this table with force feedback (Pinball Cabinet) or without (Desktop), you MUST install the current DOFLinx.vbs script into your ‘Future Pinball\Scripts’ folder. Running the table without DOFLinx.vbs will cause an error. (FF_INIT) Copy the *.fpt and .xml files to your Future "Pinball\Tables" folder DOFLinx.vbs is included with the DOFLinx install package. This file is not included with this table to avoid version mismatches. DOFLinx install package download: The current download of DOFLinx can be found through this post at vpforums: http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=35852 It is recommended to use this table with BAM (Better Arcade Mode), in order to get the most accurate version of physics intended for this table. Copy the *.fpt and *.xml within this archive to your "Future Pinball\Tables" directory. Cabinet Use: For cabinet users running DOFLinx: This table will function with the in-game sounds for mechanical devices such as flippers, slingshots, bumpers, etc muted. Instead, you will only hear your cabinets feedback devices for those actions. The rest of the games sounds will play normally as intended by the table author. Desktop Use: For desktop users: This table will still function normally without the need for DOFLinx to be running or installed. You will however require the DOFLinx.vbs file (read "Requirements / Installation"). It will play perfectly with the original in-game mechanical sounds playing through your PCs speakers. Note: Any DMDs or HudOverlays intended for desktop use were relocated to the backbox, so that cabinet users will be able to see them. Night Mode: For cabinet users who want to play at night with their cabinet noise makers turned off, this table can be toggled between Cabinet Use (noisy), and Desktop Use (Night Mode). Please consult the DOFLinx guide (included with the DOFLinx install package) for more information on how to use Night Mode. We hope you enjoy the DOFLinx cabinet experience!

View File The Addams Family, Revised Slamt1lt Edition (Bally, 1992) (Color DMD, SSF, 3 Monitor Setup, FizX 3.3) Happy Halloween! Just in time for Halloween, I am sharing my update to Slamt1lt’s Addams Family ULTIMATE Pro version 1.05. Slamt1lt brilliantly expanded Bally’s 1992 classic with changing playfield light insert colors during gameplay. He added a new Mansion Mode that he calls Classic Addams TV Show, replacing the old six-million-point mode. He added the switchable retro and modern modes. The retro mode plays the original sounds and music where the modern mode adds new sounds, music and other features. He added sideblades with pictures of the Addams family members textured with a bump map. He also added movie clips, revamped DMD graphics, and attract mode enhancements. Video Overview of the Table and Game Play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwqCsH9MOtY In my Revised Slamt1lt Edition, my goal was to enhance and polish Slamt1lt’s work while leaving his core design and gameplay untouched. Slamt1lt mentioned in the script that he not able to add a black and white mode. At the time he created the ULTIMATE Pro version, the only way to replace a texture in the script was to list a table object's name and the texture. Unfortunately, Future Pinball leaves many table objects unnamed. A newer BAM feature later introduced global texture replacement by name, allowing textures on unnamed objects to be replaced as well. Using this new capability, I was able to add the black-and-white mode. The best place to showcase the black and white mode is on the Classic Addams TV Show mode, reflecting the original show’s black-and-white broadcast. You can also choose to play the entire game in black and white or disable the mode entirely to enjoy full color — all adjustable through the new game menu. Gimli and I developed a menu system that we call a "tweaker". Tweakers were added for game, lighting and FizX. You can adjust parameters like camera views, physics, and sound levels. It has cabinet-friendly DMD displays and overlays. See the instruction manual in the download for not only how to operate the tweaker but other features on the table as well. Another major upgrade is the complete overhaul of the table’s audio system. Every sound and piece of music is now categorized as music, game sound, sound effect, or voice quote, with independent volume controls for each category available in the game tweaker. Cabinet users will also appreciate the addition of Surround Sound Feedback (SSF) which uses Fleep’s recordings and adds FizX 3.3. My friend Paolo replaced the low-polygon bear rug model with a new, higher-quality version — it now raises its head and its eyes glow red at various points during the game. Something that is very popular with the desktop and VR users is the addition of a color DMD which you can see in the screenshots. Unfortunately, DMDExt normally used on cabinets does not support the color DMD. I have requested a new feature to be added to DMDExt to pass the DMD colors at the website linked below. This change would allow you to expand the color pallet you use on other tables also. Please post comments that you would like to see this change happen. It requires a login ID that you can set up in a few minutes. https://github.com/freezy/dmd-extensions/issues/520 The Addams Family is my favorite table that Slamt1lt created, and if you’ve been thinking about trying one of my tables, this is the perfect place to start. I feel like the four months of development time paid off. A big thank-you to Paolo for the new bear model and animation script, to Fourbanks for testing assistance, and to DigitalArts for testing the three-monitor cabinet version. You can see a photo of his cabinet setup in the image gallery included with the posting. Please be sure to read the included PDF for setup instructions and additional tips. Thank you for downloading my table mod — and enjoy The Addams Family, Revised Slamt1lt Edition! — George List of Changes 1) Replaced nearly all of the textures on the plastics with higher resolution graphics. 2) Replaced the playfield textures with unbaked textures from the previous version. Replaced the apron textures with higher resolution unbaked textures. 3) Created instruction cards and added them onto new surfaces on top of the apron (The new surfaces allow higher resolution textures be used.) 4) Added new backglass texture and speaker panel with higher resolution graphics. 5) Added the electric shock onto the left flipper with the same one that was on the right flipper. (It displays the status report that Slamt1lt added). 6) Identified 2 playfield textures that were being loaded into memory but never used and so they were deleted. 7) Replaced the HUD texture that had Addams Family logo with picture of the family with logo. 😎 Removed dynamic flippers and installed FizX with Hud toggle key code. Removed Smoke's ball rolling sound so as to not conflict with the version of ball rolling sound on the FizX template. Removed all of Slamt1lt's triggers that added ball hit sounds. The ones added by FizX sound better and use Fleep's recordings. 9) After installing FizX, the ball would only travel about 2/3 of the way up the right bear ramp before rolling back down. Found that Slamt1lt had changed the custom ramps to be not collidable and added FP ramps. It was determined that he did this because of the prior physics made the ball jump off the ramp. An effort was made to fix the FP ramps but the custom ramps from the previous version worked better so they were added and the old FP ramps deleted. This made the ramps fully functional. 10) Moved the upper left flipper slightly and reconfigured the area around it to allow the flipper to hit the stationary targets and kickers on the right side of the table. Made corresponding changes to the playfield texture to make it match the position of the flipper. Blackened the playfield behind the 2 grave targets. 11) Reconfigured the upper right flipper and surrounding objects to make it easier to hit the ramp and the train lane. 12) Changed the code for the camera so that the message is no longer displayed that asks permission for the game to take over camera control. 13) Added and tested lighting and game tweakers. 14) The slingshots flash when hit on Slamt1lt's version. The shadow maps were changed to be brighter during the flashes by adding more bulbs. 15) Slamt1lt added black and white versions of the playfield and plastics to the texture manager; however, he posted in the script "BAM seems capable of switching all textures to Black and White, but it didn't work when I tested it. The code is still here should I wish to return to the idea in a later update." Since Slamt1lt posted this table, a new method of swapping textures was added to BAM that swaps one texture for another rather than having to apply a new texture to each surface. This makes it easier to replace the textures on the plastics. I managed to create black and white version using the new code. Slam created a new mode called "Classic Addams TV Show" that replaces the 6 million point mode on the original table. I decided to apply the black and white colors to this mode since the show was broadcast in black and white. I think it is what he would have done. Most textures where changed to B&W but a little bit of color was retained to keep it from looking sterile. 15) Fourbanks found that after launching the ball, the ball would hit the blue plastic that was sticking out into the lane. The blue plastic was moved and the launch ramp was moved slightly so the ball falls directly into the lane instead of bouncing off the wall. 16) Replaced the default textures for the targets with custom textures. 17) Changed the geometry of the table so that after the skill shot is hit, the ball will roll down to the right main flipper if the upper flipper is not moved. 18) Found a lane wall on the approach to the left ramp that was not correctly aligned with the ramp and fixed it. The change makes the upper right flipper hit the ramp better. 19) Added option for end users to be able to turn the camera view during multiball on or off. 20) Added camera view options to the game tweaker that allow full view of the plunger window so end users can see when to release the plunger to hit the skill shot (except for option #14). Also set the views up to be able to see the full overlay on the backwall that displays video clips. 21) Found a small bug on spelling THING on the backbox. The stars could not be lit up but it has been fixed. 22) Fixed a place that Fourbanks found where the ball would get stuck between the bookcase (after it rotates 90 degrees) and a rubber band. Changed the playfield texture to incorporate changes need for changing the rubber band. 23) Slamt1lt added a bump map to the side blades which included the photographs of family members. The photographs didn't look good with the bump maps so they were removed although the bump maps were retained for the rest of the side blades. Also removed the burned in shadows on the texture for the side blades. 24) Replaced the rap music that played during quick multiball with new music. The rap music still plays with the video during the attract mode. 25) Added frames to the DMD during the attract mode that identify the keys to press to open the tweaker, choose modern or retro mode, change lighting modes and view in-game statistics. 26) Found a high resolution texture to replace the ramp stair case texture which does not have burned in shadows. 27) Added code that allows the score to exceed 2 billion points and tested it by adding a score of nine hundred trillion points. 28) When the partially clear plastic on the swamp near the upper right flipper) was illuminated, a narrow white border around all the images. Found a higher resolution texture and identified a way to remove the white borders. 29) Added a light blue texture to the large posts and set them to crystal in the FP editor. 30) Added a spotlight on Fester and turned it on during the appropriate sequences. 31) Changed Uncle Lester's model from gray to a skin tone with reduced shininess. 32) Revised the playfield texture to remove the exposed wood on the left side of the plunger lane. Blacked the exposed wood on the playfield texture where the ball drains. Removed exposed wood on playfield texture for the train wreck lane. Changed the green area of the playfield texture on the left of the bumpers to color in areas where raw wood was visible. 33) Reshaped the green plastic under the ramp to cover the exposed wood and other markings on the playfield texture. 34) Paolo added a new model of the bear and animated the head. 35) Changed Fester's kicker hole so it blinks red at the same time as the red light on the side of the chair prior to multiball. 36) Added an option where the end user can toggle the playfield so it does not turns black and white or have it on for the whole game (default). 37) Added TGA file to the image manager to eliminate the saving of the shadow maps to the cache. 38) Changed the backbox lights so they change brightness with the lighting modes (Day, Dusk, Night, Dark Night). 39) Fixed the short ramp between the train wreck and the bear ramp to prevent the ball from bouncing back when going up the ramp. 40) Added color to the DMDs with an option in the script that turns it off for cabinet users that have DMDExt installed which does not allow the color to pass. 41) Added an option in the game tweaker to adjust the amount of time needed to hold a flipper down to display a status report during gameplay. 42) Added an option in the script where the DMD transition effects can be disabled. Many of these effects are not as smoothly on DMDext as they are on FP. Also the last frame of any DMD transition doesn't get picked up by DMDext and the DMD may still show the last frame until the next display. 44) Duplicated the spelling of THING onto the Hud which will free desktop users from having to look at the backglass periodically. 45) Added a plunger modification that still functions like the one that Slamt1lt added but it changes it so you can press the arrow up and down keys to move the plunger up and down so it can be finely adjusted before pressing the plunger key to launch the ball. It makes it easier to hit the skill shot. Code was also added that allows the flippers to operate in place of the arrow keys for the cabinet users. 46) Duplicated the video display onto the playfield apron and made it switchable on the game tweaker so that the video can be display on either the backwall or the apron or also displayed on both (the default). This makes the video easily displayed on a cabinet because it is not easily seen on the backwall of cabinets. Desktop users may like the video better on the apron. 47) Changed the topper lighting so it stays lit during the game but gets brighter during the lightning effects. 48) Removed execute commands in the script and changed to use standard coding to prevent possible stuttering. 49) Added code for ball/flipper shadows at the beginning of the script. 50) Added third place scores to the attract mode. 51) Added a parameter to the game tweaker where users can adjust the number of seconds they have between hitting the left orbit and hitting the left ramp so that a star is lit on the display for the spelling of THING. 52) If you change the camera view to one of FP's standard views, the option was added so you can press the letter "V" and change the view back to the view that is selected on the game tweaker. Note that if you want to change to a different view, you will need to open the game tweaker and change the "Desktop Camera View" option. 53) Added option to the game tweaker where the end user can select when the playfield goes dark. The first option is to display all dark sequences that Slamt1lt created. The second is for no dark sequences and have the playfield bright during the entire game. The third option is to have the dark sequences run during the attract mode, the two multiball modes, when the swamp kicker is hit, and when the ball drains. 54) Added the Retro/Modern switch to the tweaker but kept the Special 2 key. Both options save your setting for the next time you play the table. 55) Replaced the table sounds with Fleep's recordings and Surround Sound Feedback (SSF). Added ball rolling sound to the playfield and ramps. 56) Categorized all the music and every sound used on the table into the groups: background music, game sounds, sound effects and voice quotes. 57) Added volume controls for each of the categories of sound and ball rolling sound controls on the game tweaker. 58) With the help of Popotte, TerryRed and Shiva, fixed the code for the train wreck target so it no longer registers double hits which made 2 sets of code run at the same time and made 2 conflicting sets of audio run at the same time. 59) Created versions for 3 monitor cabinets and rotated display for desktops turned to portrait orientation. 60) Created instruction manual for the table in PDF format.

View File Galaxia (Original) (SSF, FizX 3.3) (Versions included for Desktop, 2 and 3 Monitor Cabinets and VR) With this table, I’ve updated my third release that was originally created by Roney Pinball. Galaxia has always been one of my favorite tables from when I first started playing pinball on my PC. It quickly became addictive. Part of the reason, I believe, was how easy it became to earn extra balls once I learned the table’s mechanics. After a modest improvement in my gameplay, I could often keep a single game going for 30 minutes to an hour. In this update, I’ve modified nearly every aspect of Galaxia. The original music track was replaced with three new ones. I also added FizX 3.3, using the most current FizX Tweaker. Surround Sound Feedback (SSF) and ball rolling sounds have been implemented using Fleep's recordings. Visually, the most noticeable change is the addition of two vertical up-kickers equipped with wire ramps. Several geometry issues affecting table objects were corrected. I also created a custom game room environment. Popotte's ingenious plunger modification has been included, allowing precise positioning of the plunger before launching the ball. Four lighting modes have been added: Day, Dusk, Night, and Dark Night. Numerous light lenses and object textures have been revised. A HUD DMD is now included, displaying the same content as the 27-digit segmented display. This is useful for desktop users and for cabinet users with third monitors via DMDExt. One of the most challenging fixes was correcting errors related to one of the three extra ball options. And that’s just the beginning—see the “List of Changes” section below for a complete breakdown. AMD CPUs and GPUs have historically caused compatibility issues with Future Pinball, often misinterpreted as script errors when hardware incompatibility is the real culprit. AMD GPUs are known to create problems in other games as well, not just Future Pinball. Users with AMD Ryzen CPUs paired with NVIDIA GPUs have generally reported better results. However, some have encountered a "string error" with this setup. In those cases, the issue was successfully resolved using a fix I discuss in the instructions PDF file included in the download. I can’t guarantee that this fix will resolve your specific issue, only that others reported success using it. Since I use an Intel CPU and an NVIDIA GPU, I’m unable to replicate or test AMD-specific problems myself. Galaxia is a widebody table, and I estimate its width falls somewhere between Genie and Embryon. I was concerned it might not fit well in a pinball cabinet, so I asked DigitalArts to test it. I posted a screenshot from a video he sent me so you can see how it looks—I think it turned out beautifully. He also shared the CFG file from his cabinet, which I’ve included in the download. It should work for most users, though you may need to make adjustments for your setup. He confirmed that the physics, DOF, and SSF all worked properly. From the video, I could see that the DMD displayed perfectly on his third monitor using DMDExt. A big thank-you to DigitalArts for testing the table on his cabinet. Since I don’t have one myself, his help was invaluable in ensuring everything functions properly for cabinet users. Although this update required a deep dive and took longer than expected, it was truly a labor of love. Be sure to read the instruction PDF included in the download to take full advantage of all the table’s features. You’ll also find a rulesheet to help you learn how to play. I hope you enjoy it! —George List of Changes 1. Added two vertical up-kickers (VUKs) with wire ramps and set the score for hitting them to 5,000 points. A flare was added around the left VUK to match the right one. 2. Translated Spanish text to English on playfield textures, decals, and the 27-digit display. 3. Fixed several geometry issues: After rolling around the bottom of the launch lane when kicked out, the ball would often settle in an area where the plunger couldn’t reach it. This was fixed by lowering the plunger (the rod was overextended), repositioning the autoplunger and plunger kicker, and narrowing the launch lane. The right upper flipper was set back into a recess into the wall where the ball would often get stuck. Extended the wall behind the flipper straight out to the end of the enclosure for the captive ball. The wall behind the flipper was extended to the edge of the captive ball enclosure. The lane guide on the approach to the flipper was moved to improve ball trajectory. Playfield and plastic textures were updated to match the new layout. Adjusted lane guides for all four flippers to prevent the ball from jumping when rolling onto the flippers. Repositioned the end of the lane guide above the left ball lock to prevent the ball from getting stuck. 4. Added new table loading textures for desktops and cabinets. 5. Moved the opening on the apron above the for improved ball visibility. 6. Installed bulbs on top of plastics for locked balls. Bulb color indicates mode: Green: ball ready to be locked Yellow: ball locked and awaiting drop target hit Red: pop-up raised, lock blocked 7. Darkened the texture of the plunger lane. 8. Added FizX 3.3 with the latest version of the tweaker menu. 9. Replaced the original music theme with three new tracks for attract mode, multiball, and gameplay music. 10. Reshaped the apron to be symmetrical and edited its texture accordingly. 11. Updated the right slingshot so it is no longer transparent (matching other plastics). The green starfield texture was revised to include the Lagoon Nebula. 12. Reviewed all scoring events awarding 10,000+ points and added point values to both the 27-digit display and DMD. 13. Played an unused sound when Special is completed. 14. Created a new game room featuring a background texture of the Orion Nebula. 15. Added BAM code to allow scores above 2 billion and corrected related scripting errors. 16. Implemented Popotte’s plunger mod. The plunger now pulls back more slowly, allowing better reaction time. See the included PDF for instructions. 17. Upscaled the textures for the playfield, plastics, apron, backglass and cabinet. Edited the cabinet texture slightly. 18. Fixed scoring logic for awarding an extra ball on the half-round lane below the left ball lock (orange arrow). Removed flashers that triggered on each star target hit. Fixed light sequencing. All the lights and other functions for this extra ball were set up to carry over to the next ball. (The original version had one light that carried over to the next ball and the other lights did not.) All the lights and related functions for this extra ball have been configured to carry over to the next ball. (In the original version, only one light carried over, while the others did not.) 19. Added four bulbs under the slingshots to trigger the flash of shadow maps when the ball hits the slings. 20. Developed a set of rules that were added the rules to the instruction cards on the apron. 21. 1. Added three switchable camera views that can be toggled using the "V" key. 22. Added ball rolling sounds for the playfield and both wire ramps. 23. Added surround sound feedback (SSF) for DOF and PUP. 24. Adjusted colors of all light inserts to be more subdued while retaining the original aesthetic. 25. Added ball count and credits to the HUD, which were previously only visible on the backbox. 26. Converted five bitmap decals used for extra ball lights on the bottom-left of the playfield to use black text (replacing white). Converted these to TGA files with alpha transparency. 27. Replaced low-resolution lens textures for green 2x–6x playfield light inserts with high-res versions. 28. Updated segmented display colors to a less garish tone and disabled the “Boredom Effect.” 29. Added four lighting modes—Day, Dusk, Night, and Dark Night that can be toggled using the Special 2 key. 30. Added a HUD DMD that mirrors the 27-digit display. For cabinet users, the DMD also supports third monitor output via DMDExt. 31. Configured the left flipper key to cycle through the four lighting modes before the game starts. The right flipper key now opens the Tweaker menu pre-game, helping cabinet users with limited buttons. 32. Updated the 27-digit display and DMD to indicate which keys control lighting modes and the Tweaker during attract mode. 33. Added shadow maps to selected bulbs beneath the plastics. 34. Added adjustments in the script for ball/flipper shadows, ball Brightness, ball reflections, ball shininess and ball specular, and ray casting. 35. Replaced default flipper textures with custom ones. 36. Set the posts holding rubber bands to crystal with lighting-responsive sphere-mapped textures. 37. Discovered some abandoned code and completed it to increase jet bumper scores when the jet light is on. The jet light activates after 20 bumper hits. Once active, bumper scoring increases from 50 to 300 points. 38. Changed two flashers on the back wall to display different colors based on six major in-game events. 39. Replaced captive ball posts with a different material and aligned them to the lower-left flipper for performance optimization. 40. Added two missing blue bulbs under the rounded back plastics between the posts. 41. Replaced all target textures and applied a metal texture from Shiva’s collection. 42. Created a rotated display version of the table. 43. Created a three-monitor version of the table. 44. Included a PDF download containing a full instruction manual. 45. Added to the download a rulesheet with screenshots as a PDF file. 46. The table features pop-up blockers in the ball locks, which prevent access to the kicker during multiball. Originally, these pop-ups remained raised until all balls had drained after multiball and a new ball was launched from the plunger. This was changed so access to the kicker is allowed when only one ball remains on the playfield.

View File Road Runner (Original) (SSF, 3 Monitor Setup, FizX 3.3) Road Runner is a great table created by the incredible table developer Roney Pinball. I decided I wanted to work on a simple table with a simple update so I chose Road Runner. It didn't take long; however, to determine that it was a bit more sophisticated than I thought. It has a flyer that explains a few things but not everything. I decided to write a set of rules since no one had ever posted them before now. I wrote quite a few rules that filled up both instruction cards on the apron but I was able to add everything I wanted. I added FizX Lite 3.0 and the latest version of the FizX tweaker. An improved version of the lighting tweaker was published on Avatar 2.2. Since then, Gimli and I have spent much time improving the tweaker. We found three huge bugs that have been resolved. Avatar 2.2 had occasions where end users reported getting string errors that have now been resolved. One bug was caused by Future Pinball sometimes performing calculation errors, like 6 times 10 being equal to 59.9999. That might be considered close enough but it causes havoc on an array where every two characters in the string represents the saved value for one parameter. We fixed it by adding rounding for each calculated value to a non-decimal number. I have noticed that the fix has made the tweaker much more stable without any string errors. I have added overlays that describe each of the parameters on the FizX tweaker. I provide directions on how to navigate the tweaker on the first screen that you see when the tweaker opens. All you need to remember is to press the Special 1 key to open the tweaker. If you want a longer description of the Reset to Default, Reset to StartUp, and Save functions, arrow down to the end of the parameters and you will find a detailed description of each. Unfortunately, the tweaker does not have enough save locations to add settings for the upper flippers. If you want to change the settings for the upper flippers, they can be changed in the script. You can, however, change the settings for the main flippers on the tweaker. If you are not familiar with FizX, you might find the parameters on the tweaker intimidating. You will however be able to understand the option for "Bounce Choices". The option refers to the bounce of the ball off the flippers. The "Bounce Choices" option allows you to make selections that anyone can understand. For example, you can select "Low Bounce" or "Medium Bounce". I recommend you try making changes to this option. I have already made adjustments on the tweaker but everyone knows I like the flippers to have a very low bounce. From what I have seen, most folks like higher bounce. I didn't add my usual lighting mod this time but I think you will like the lighting nevertheless. There are lots of options at the beginning of the script where you can change the lighting and other options. Zip File – Must Read There is a zip file included in the download. It contains the model of a ball with 1K polygons. Do not unzip the zip file. Just save it with the same name as the table and place it in the same folder as the table. If you don't use it, the physics won't be correct. Table Loading Screen There are two table-loading textures as listed below. The first landscape texture is the default and is intended to be used on desktop PCs. The portrait texture is intended to be used on pinball cabinets. LoadingLandscape.jpg LoadingPortrait.jpg Conclusion The entrance to the right wire ramp was rather problematic. The ball kept bouncing around the ramp entrance and not going down it. However, persistence paid off and I managed to get it to work. This table was otherwise a pleasure to work on. I hope you enjoy it. GeorgeH List of Changes 1) Added ball/flipper shadows, ball configuration, and ray casting to the script. 2) Added FizX Lite 3.0. 3) Added the latest version of the FizX tweaker which includes a Flipper Bounce Choice option that combines the settings of 3 FizX parameters for each of the 9 bounce choices. 4) Added overlays to the tweaker that explain each of the FizX parameters. 5) Added a HUD Toggle Key that saves settings. 6) Added new lighting and spotlight with lights turning off when the ball is not in play. 7) Added new landscape-shaped texture on the table loading screen for desktops and portrait-shaped texture for cabinets. 😎 Added game room floor and backwall. 9) Added BAM code that allows the score to exceed 2 billion points. 10) Added plunger pull special script to slow down pull-back. 11) Added new music to attract mode and new background music to all modes. 12) Upscaled textures for playfield, backglass, and cabinet. 13) Reworked the entrance to the right wire ramp to improve performance. Adjusted all ramps. 14) Added rolling ball sounds to the playfield and all four ramps. 15) Adjusted the color of all light inserts on the playfield and changed the color on one ramp. 16) Added more time to display the text on the segmented display on the backwall so you have time to read it. 17) Developed a set of rules which include many of the point values. Added the rules to the instruction cards on the apron. 18) Added desktop camera setting to the script.

View File Medieval Madness (Williams, 1997) (FizX 3.3) Although Medieval Madness was not a huge commercial success at launch, it quickly became a fan favorite and is now widely considered one of the greatest pinball machines of all time. The game features a medieval theme combined with modern elements and tongue-in-cheek humor. It was designed by Brian Eddy, who also created the highly acclaimed Attack From Mars (AFM), which I recently finished modifying. While AFM remains my favorite table, Medieval Madness is a close second. Video Overview of the Table: As with Attack from Mars, my goal was to enhance Medieval Madness to be functional, visually appealing, and play well using the latest BAM tools—without overloading it with excessive models or animations. As a result, the table now features four light settings, FizX 3.3, Surround Sound Feedback (SSF), and numerous new graphics. Additionally, it allows users to adjust more than 50 parameters in real-time through the Game, Lighting, and FizX menus (referred to as "tweakers"). I also installed a four-color Dot Matrix Display (DMD). Please refer to the included PDF for instructions on installing the table and the zip file. On the MEGA 1.3.5 version of Medieval Madness, Flug added two game modes to Slamt1lt's ULTIMATE 1.02 version that are easier to play. Flug's version ended up having Slamt1lt's Normal play mode, "Mega-Multiball" and "Mega-Easy". This table modifies Flug's version. The game modes can be switched after the game loads but before the game starts by pressing the Special 2 key. There is also an option on the game tweaker that can switch game modes. The tweaker is started by pressing the Special 1 key. The instruction PDF provides discussion on how to operate the tweakers. You should however be able to navigate and operate the system by reading the overlays that appear when you start it. The only thing you really need to remember is to open the tweaker with the Special 1 key. Video Demonstrating the "Tweakers" Menu System: Slamt1lt’s original audio was decent, but I knew it could be improved. To enhance the sound, I added the "Sound Level Control Panel," a feature I previously developed in AFM. This tool categorizes sounds into music, game mechanical sounds, special effects, and voice quotes, each with separate volume adjustments for loud and soft levels where necessary. I also integrated these sound categories into the Game Tweaker. Since Medieval Madness contains four times as many voice quotes and more than double the total number of audio files as AFM, the process of fine-tuning the sound was much more time-consuming. I’ve heard that some cabinet users have trouble hearing the ball rolling sound on some tables. To address this, I added the same option I used in AFM to lower the volume of all other sounds except for the ball rolling sound. Note that Future Pinball provides two options to adjust music and game sounds. I recommend setting both to maximum and not using them, as the music manager includes various non-musical sounds that are best managed through the Game Tweaker’s sound options. Since I don't have a cabinet setup myself, a user known as Enthusiast generously helped me test the table on his cabinet. I’ve put in my best effort to provide the best playing experience on both desktop PCs and pinball cabinets. As part of this effort, I included three versions of the table in the download: Main Version – For desktops, cabinets with two monitors, and virtual reality headsets. Three-Monitor Version – For cabinets with three monitor displays, which removes the speaker panel from the backbox texture and aligns the lights to the texture. Rotated Display Version – For desktop PCs with a single desktop PC monitor that can rotate to a portrait orientation. Be sure to follow the instructions in the included PDF for setting up these three versions correctly. I prefer to play the rotated display version on my desktop PC, as it fills about 90% of the monitor's available space. In contrast, the full table 2 view in Future Pinball only occupies about 50% of the screen, not including the HUD, which isn't necessary for the rotated display version. The rotated display offers a much more immersive and engaging gameplay experience. I’ve recorded a video that explains the simple setup process and showcases some gameplay: Video Demonstrating the Rotated Display Version: I want to express my sincere gratitude to Enthusiast for his invaluable help testing the table on his pinball cabinet. I’m always looking for ways to improve my table modifications. In this version, I figured out how to display a color background on DMD frames that show text. I also enhanced the lightning effects added by Slamt1lt. I’ve added several new frames of lightning on the backwall and thunder sounds, which now play randomly, and I’ve introduced a spotlight effect that illuminates the castle during the lightning sequence. This effect now plays during several game modes, as well as during the attract mode, greatly enhancing the drama of the game. I worked on this table every day for the last two months. It required a lot of effort, but it was also incredibly fun. I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I have. — George List of Changes: 1. Added color DMD with a newly discovered method for adding background color to DMD text. 2. Added two new loading textures: one for desktops and one for cabinets. 3.
