    Due to system limitations searching with words of 3 or less characters will not return results. For instance; Doctor Who.  This will not return results as the system is trying to search for both Doctor AND Who in which Who will not be found as it's a 3 character word.  To find Doctor Who; you'd search for either Doctor or "Doctor Who". 

    Search Tips:
    For specific searches; enclose your search with quotes. Example: "Doctor Who" or "Addams Family".

  1. Version 3.0

    3301 downloads

    When you play this pinball game, your spirit will go with Eywa but your body will stay behind... Be like Jake Sully, become one with the Na’vi, and immerse yourself into the world of Pandora. Walk through the dream; I see you! Alas! After a year of work by Gimli and myself, version 3.0 of Avatar is finally finished! Nearly all the visual things that you see in this version are the work of Gimli. He added several animations, most notably the models of Neytiri and the Sacred Seeds. He even made the spinning unobtainium rock a bit larger and animated it. One of the few visual things I added is the purplish pink ball that appears during the Seeds mode. Gimli liked it so well that he added it to the multiball modes. Of course, I did the lighting which seems to be my forte. Gimli and I spent a lot of time working on a menu system that we call tweakers. This table has three tweakers that have a total of 50 parameters. To turn the tweakers on, press the Special 1 key repeatedly to cycle through the three tweakers and press the same key again to turn the tweakers off. Gimli developed a different method for those of you who may have a limited number of keys available on your pinball cabinet. Cabinet users can press either flipper key to open the tweakers before starting the game. Once you have the tweaker open, an overlay will appear that has directions on how to navigate through the tweaker using both methods. There are overlays on both the backbox and the Hud. The overlays on the backbox will only be displayed if you have the table installed on a cabinet or use virtual reality. Gimli created a whole new tweaker for lighting. You may not notice any dramatic improvements but it reduces the number of save locations that are required. It made it easier for us to add another parameter we call Playfield Specular lighting. Gimli decided to remove the old menu system from Version 2.2 and developed a gaming tweaker that has the options from the Version 2.2 menu system of the table and many new options added. The gaming tweaker has an option called User Profiles that loads preselected options for all the gaming selections. You will find options that turn all the bells and whistles on or off, along with the preferred setups of Gimli and myself. I added the latest version of a tweaker for FizX 3.0. The FizX tweaker has presets for Bounce Choices that automatically load three parameters with nine selections for low to high bounce off the flippers. The "Bounce Choices" option is great for novices because you can select options that say things like "Low Bounce" or "Medium Bounce" instead of having to figure out how to adjust three different parameters for bounce that have names you probably won't be able to identify. All the tweakers can be adjusted before the game starts or during the game except for the "Balls Per Game" option on the game tweaker because of a limitation of Future Pinball. You don't have to remember any of the information I have given you except to press the Special 1 key to open the tweakers. I added a new feature for each of the tweaker parameters that displays text that provides directions and other information about the option unless the purpose of the parameter is obvious. One of the reasons that it took so long to develop this version is Gimli and I fixed three difficult-to-resolve bugs on the tweakers. Having three different tweakers on one table seemed to make the presence of the bugs more obvious. Some of the end-users reported problems with string errors when they first played Version 2.2 of the table. That bug is now gone. The bugs' resolution has made the tweakers' performance very stable and problem-free. This is a video of Avatar that Gimli made using his Virtual Reality set up that provides an overview of the table. I made this video to demonstrate how to use the tweakers on this table. Script File (vbs) – Must Read Many of you have probably heard of DOFLinx. It is the way guys with pinball cabinets drive lights, addressable LEDs, buzzers, shakers, blowers, etc. Even though this table has the coding for all that, you can still play it on a desktop PC. The download contains a file named "DOFLinx.vbs". If you are a desktop user, save the file to the folder, "C:\Games\Future Pinball\Scripts". If you don't have a Scripts folder in this location, you need to add it. If you have a cabinet, don't use this file if you have DOFLinx installed because the "DOFLinx.vbs" may be out of date. You can use an out-of-date version on a desktop PC without any problem. If you don't save the script file to the folder, "C:\Games\Future Pinball\Scripts", you will get error messages and won't be able to play the table. 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. The zip file contains a texture that drives the color DMD. You still need to use the zip file in this download even if you have already saved a 1K ball to the BAM folder. If you don't use the zip file from the download, the DMDs will appear white (they are intended to be blue) and the physics won't be as good. BAM – Must Read This table requires BAM version BAM 1.5-363 or later for it to perform as intended and to not crash or generate error messages. Options in the Script This table can be demanding on resources for many PCs. If you have problems with resources, I wrote a guide on how to reduce resources. I added it to the beginning of the script because several of the options have to be implemented in the script. There are several other areas in the script where I have written comments on how to tweak different parameters. Table Loading Screen There are six table-loading textures as listed below. The first three landscape textures are intended to be used on desktop PCs. The last three portrait textures are intended to be used on pinball cabinets. LoadingLandscape1.jpg LoadingLandscape2.jpg LoadingLandscape3.jpg LoadingPortrait1.jpg LoadingPortrait2.jpg LoadingPortrait3.jpg "Rotated Display" Version There are two variations of this table. There is a basic version for general PC usage and pinball cabinets. The other version of the table is for use on a desktop PC on a single monitor with a portrait orientation that I call a "rotated display". This version would be of interest to you if your monitor can be turned 90 degrees. Most desktop users tend to use the "Full Table 2" view; however, the table only occupies about 50% of your screen whereas the portrait orientation uses 80 to 90% of your screen. I have figured out a way of creating views using BAM's desktop camera so the views are coded in the script. When you open the tweaker, there is a different camera view that automatically opens which has space to display the overlays. I had to disable the Camera View option on the "rotated display" version because I couldn't make it work otherwise. The only instructions you need for it are: 1) Open the "Video / Rendering Options" menu in FP and change the "Rotation" option to 270 degrees. 2) Rotate your monitor clockwise 90 degrees and play the table. (You can play it on a landscape monitor and it will appear sideways but you will be able to see what it looks like.) If you ever replace the monitor on your PC, be sure to get one that has a stand that rotates. I added a screenshot of the normal camera view. Conclusion Gimli and I may have gotten a little carried away with the tweakers on this table. However, we persevered through it and after adding 8,000 lines of new code, we succeeded. I think it was worth it. The tweakers have improved a lot. Anyone who wants to use the tweaker code may do so without permission. You can consult Gimli or myself if you have questions. The gameplay is pretty much the same as it was in version 2.2 although I do recall Gimli improved some of the coding for the link multiball (the captive ball under the coffin). A lot is happening now with Future Pinball. It seems that new technology keeps coming out. This table adds some of the new technology with FizX physics and certainly breaks new ground with three in-game tweakers. I hope you enjoy this new version of Avatar. I have played it hundreds (probably thousands) of times testing all the changes. I can say that I never get tired of playing it. I hope this makes a nice Christmas present to everyone. Merry Christmas! George 1. Created In-Game Game Option Tweaker Tool 2. Revamped the Menu System for desktop, cab, and VR accessed by Special 1 key with instructions on main game DMDs 3. Three In-Game Tweaks are accessible with each press of the Special 1 key ( Game options, Lighting, and FizX tweakers) 4. Added Neytiri Model and Animations 5. Added Seed Models and Animations 6. Added Bioluminescent Custom Balls that Glow when impacting table objects and in seed mode 7. Added a slight magnetic field "The Flux Vortex" that diverts slightly when the ball passes from the upper bumpers ( this decreases the frequent and annoying draining of the ball from above) 8. Removed previous menu system that was added on version 2.1 and cheat codes to simplify the process and hopefully prevent key code conflicts 9. Multichannel /Multiball Sound For Ball Rolling 10. Tilt Recovery system. If you Bump 4 times You will hear "Watch out Hot Rod !". If you wait 5 seconds then Bump Count gets recharged and you can bump again with Tilting. Jake Will Say "This is Great !" 11. Added 9 Bounce Profiles under FizX tweaker, Add 5 Game Option Profiles under Game Option Tweaker 12. Added Easy Mode accessible as the first choice under Game Option Tweaker 13. Enlarged unobtainium rock and animated it. 14. Replaced Smoke's rolling ball sound with a new system using a mini-playfield that has separated sounds for the playfield and ramp. When ball velocity is increased, sound frequency is increased causing a higher pitch. 15. Upgraded to FizX 3.0 and updated the FizX tweaker to use the new values. 16. Added overlays that have comments that support the parameters on each of the tweakers. There is a HUD overlay and one on the backbox which can only be seen on a cabinet or in VR. 17. Added a new feature to two of the tweakers where a profile of multiple parameters can be selected (FizX Bounce option and Game Tweaker Profiles). 18. Added an option for DMD-based high score entry. 19. Added specular lighting option on the lighting tweaker. 20. Removed all previous Video coding and redundant overlays and used Pup Video coding to enable videos on the backglass, apron, back box, etc... 21. Created a new lighting tweaker that uses fewer save locations than the previous version. 22. Added new lighting options for Wall Brightness, Neytiri Brightness, Spotlight Brightness, and Ball Brightness. 23. Created a "rotated display" version of this table.
  2. Version 1.03

    2079 downloads

    Note that BAM (Better Arcade Mode) must be installed for this table to operate properly. This table has a menu that is accessed by pressing the Special 2 key. Many of the guys who compete in pinball championships consider "Twilight Zone" to be one of the most difficult tables to play. I suppose that might be true but it is still really fun to play which I think is due to its incredible design. The FP version of the table was originally built by Francisco666 and the models were built by ROM. The basic rules are also not all that difficult to remember either. The center of the playfield has a door with lights around the perimeter. The lights display most of the available modes. During game play, one of these lights is usually blinking. Hitting the bumpers will move the blinking light around the perimeter of the door. You can start a mode of whatever light is blinking by hitting the kicker under the piano. The kicker under the slot machine may also start the modes randomly also. Any mode that you complete will change the blinking light to be lit solid. There are more rules but this will get you started. The quality of the original voice quotes was pretty bad but Francisco probably used the best available audio files at the time. I reworked the audio to provide a much cleaner sound. I found about 7 or 8 different versions of audio so I selected the best sounds from each. The new sounds are included in the new library, DIMENSION_SONIDOS. When I got to the music, I decided to provide two versions of music libraries in addition to the original music. All three music libraries have the same name but I changed the case of some of the letters so you can identify the version. All of the libraries are compatible with the older versions of the table. You can only save one of these versions of the music to your library folder at a time so you might want to save them the other versions to a subfolder. Original Remix - DIMENSION_MUSICA.fpl Alternate - DIMension_musica.fpl Rock - DIMENSion_musica.fpl I added Shiva flippers to this table that are switchable to the standard Gimli/George dynamic flippers. Shiva flippers have more power in the center of the flippers than at the tip and base. The Gimli/George flippers has the least power at the tip and the most power at the base. I also added a flipper rotation speed chart that I think will be used for the first time on this table. I am using a slightly modified version of a chart that JLou5641 developed. The chart changes the way a flipper accelerates and moves. It helps to improve the accuracy of the shots. I recommend that you try the options for physics in the menu shortly after you download the table because it doesn't take long for your mind to get locked into a certain way of playing the table. There is also menu switchable music that play the original rock song, "The Twilight Zone". It will replace some of the music selections in the music libraries listed above. There are a few changes I made that couldn't be done when the table was created. The real table has a "power ball" that is made of white ceramic and is much lighter than a steel ball. When this FP table was built, a white ball was impossible to create so they offered a choice of different colored balls. For this table, I created a white ball using a photograph of an ceramic ball used on the real table. I also changed the physics of it when it is released onto the table so it is lighter. My friend, AnonTet, performed a lot of testing on this table but he also figured out a way to make the dynamic flippers more efficient. This became necessary when I tried to add Wild's code that adds a sound when the ball hits the flipper. Wild also made a change to the model used on the side blades. He took a model that had the best fit I could find and made it fit perfectly. I added two new table loading textures that you can select on the Table Information screen of the FP editor: LoadingLandscape – For desktop usage LoadingPortrait – For pinball cabinet usage Of course, the table has the same lighting options I have added to other tables. I added a spotlight for the first time on the miniplayfield. It will probably use it again on other tables. Included in the download is a zip file that contains a file that changes the unlit pixels of the DMD. It changes the color of them to be the same color as the background. If you choose to use it, it must remain zipped, have the same name as the table and be placed in the same folder as the table. You can download a different version of the table that is called "rotated display". This is for a desktop PC with a single monitor that can be rotated so the monitor is in portrait format. I added a screenshot of it and the download includes a PDF file with directions. Pat Lawlor designed a beautiful table that really needs no enhancements. If you play this table a lot, you might get tired of the same music so I added some options there. Even though Slamt1lt added some video and music, the game play of this table is the same as the original. My objective here was to make the table look, sound and perform better. I think you will agree that this objective has been met. I hope you enjoy it! These are the list of changes: 1. Replaced poorly recorded sounds, including all voice quotes. 2. Added new instruction cards. 3. Added custom physics and dynamic flippers with Gimli/GeorgeH flippers and Shiva's flippers. 4. Added emkickers to the slingshots to improve physics. 5. Added lighting mod and add Lighting Control Panel to the script. 6. Added HUD Toggle Key that saves setting. 7. Added new textures on the table loading screen for both desktop and cabinets. 8. Added menu system with options for lighting, balls per game, HUD on/off etc. 9. Added message that looks at BAM version and reminds you to upgrade BAM if needed. 10. Added shadow maps. 11. Edited plunger pull special script so you can make the skill shot. 12. Added switchable option for 3 or 5 balls per game that saves setting. 13. Added bulbs that provide the halo that shines through the slingshots. 14. Added side rails with art (sometimes called side blades). 15. Added bump maps to the camera and slot machine. 16. Added DMD background color, ball/flipper shadows and ball configuration to the script. 17. Added rock version of theme music and made it switchable with the default theme music. 18. Added menu option to switch between Gimli/GeorgeH flippers and Shiva's flippers. 19. Added menu option to switch table slope so end user can easily change ball speed. 20. Added menu option to switch bounce control options. 21. Converted images and video images to use power of 2 to reduce table loading time. 22.Lowered right ramp to make it perform better. 23. Added BAM code that allows the score to exceed 2 billion points. 24. Changed the end of game video so it can be turned off. Also fixed the end of game video so it plays the correct audio file and remove the broken Rod Steiger video.

This table adds some of the new technology with FizX physics and certainly breaks new ground with three in-game tweakers. I hope you enjoy this new version of Avatar. I have played it hundreds (probably thousands) of times testing all the changes. I can say that I never get tired of playing it. I hope this makes a nice Christmas present to everyone. Merry Christmas! George 1. Created In-Game Game Option Tweaker Tool 2. Revamped the Menu System for desktop, cab, and VR accessed by Special 1 key with instructions on main game DMDs 3. Three In-Game Tweaks are accessible with each press of the Special 1 key ( Game options, Lighting, and FizX tweakers) 4. Added Neytiri Model and Animations 5. Added Seed Models and Animations 6. Added Bioluminescent Custom Balls that Glow when impacting table objects and in seed mode 7. Added a slight magnetic field "The Flux Vortex" that diverts slightly when the ball passes from the upper bumpers ( this decreases the frequent and annoying draining of the ball from above) 8. Removed previous menu system that was added on version 2.1 and cheat codes to simplify the process and hopefully prevent key code conflicts 9. Multichannel /Multiball Sound For Ball Rolling 10. Tilt Recovery system. If you Bump 4 times You will hear "Watch out Hot Rod !". If you wait 5 seconds then Bump Count gets recharged and you can bump again with Tilting. Jake Will Say "This is Great !" 11. Added 9 Bounce Profiles under FizX tweaker, Add 5 Game Option Profiles under Game Option Tweaker 12. Added Easy Mode accessible as the first choice under Game Option Tweaker 13. Enlarged unobtainium rock and animated it. 14. Replaced Smoke's rolling ball sound with a new system using a mini-playfield that has separated sounds for the playfield and ramp. When ball velocity is increased, sound frequency is increased causing a higher pitch. 15. Upgraded to FizX 3.0 and updated the FizX tweaker to use the new values. 16. Added overlays that have comments that support the parameters on each of the tweakers. There is a HUD overlay and one on the backbox which can only be seen on a cabinet or in VR. 17. Added a new feature to two of the tweakers where a profile of multiple parameters can be selected (FizX Bounce option and Game Tweaker Profiles). 18. Added an option for DMD-based high score entry. 19. Added specular lighting option on the lighting tweaker. 20. Removed all previous Video coding and redundant overlays and used Pup Video coding to enable videos on the backglass, apron, back box, etc... 21. Created a new lighting tweaker that uses fewer save locations than the previous version. 22. Added new lighting options for Wall Brightness, Neytiri Brightness, Spotlight Brightness, and Ball Brightness. 23. Created a "rotated display" version of this table. Note: See the script for changes implemented in previous versions.

    "CHALLENGE. THE ROBOT. FROM ZACCARIA." Robot is a table I've been planning on doing since I discovered VP. I had never seen these Italian machines before: with their bright colors, mocking callouts, formed plastics, and distinctly foreign layouts, Zaccaria has a bit of an exotic allure. And the cyan robot theme is just my style - it's my avatar for a reason! This mod was intended to be all about updating Robot for playability and accuracy...and only grew a tiny bit beyond that. As I built it more resources became available, so someday there will be a fully rendered version. Maybe VPE? The main things changed from 32assassin's release are: Alignment of every part, nFozzy physics, Roth Targets, Fleep ToM sounds, Dynamic Ball Shadows, Sling Corrections, TargetBouncer, LUT changer, RampRolling sounds, physical trough, Lampz Also: Implemented FastFlips(hacked), sorted the layers, formatted script, removed duplicate objects, fixed dt's, fixed assignments, made u-turns real, made robots animate better and need front collision, re-origined and animated RampExit, made ramp walls into wall walls, probably lots of other stuff..."physics/lights/lighting" Included is a pre-configured NVRAM with my settings for 3-ball play + Game Time Bonus. Left and Right MagnaSave keys will cycle through the available color grade LUTs. More options are available at the top of the script. Thanks to nFozzy, Fleep, Rothbauerw, Iaakki, Wrd1972, Apophis, Fluffhead35, and Flupper for the code, models, and instructions to implement the above! Thanks to Nestorgian for the trough code fix, it got all the ball handling code headed in the right direction. Thanks to Lumi~ for the Desktop Backdrop. Thanks to MovieGuru for the art upscale and cleanup. Thanks to the testers BountyBob, Smaug, Bietekwiet, and PinStratsDan who are actually good at pinball and helped make this better. And thanks to 32Assassin, Hmueck, and Francisco666 for their prior versions! There's also an awesome new backglass from HauntFreaks: This table is available FOR FREE and should NOT have come to you from anywhere other than VPUniverse.com or PinballNirvana.com

    This was created years back by someone else but the playfield was a little lacking as the scan seemed to be of different colors and poorer resolution. I redid it using the better quality images in Loserman76's release of Big Deal. Table modded from Loserman76's Big Deal table. Thanks to Loserman76 for leaving the table at free to Mod. Not many changes to the original table. Backglass has been redone using another image/scan and then AI up-scaled. The Big Dick table has an interesting history it is really just a backglass added to an existing Big Deal table in reality making this an ideal mod in vpx the very same way.
