View File Simpsons Treehouse of Horror MOD (Simpsons Pinball Party, The (Stern 2003) VPW MOD) Simpsons Treehouse of Horror MOD "redux" Halloween is among us!!! Thanks to @apophis for his first release and most of the inspiration for this recreation. It's hard to come up with new ideas when the first one was so good. The entire base pf and plastics set was upscaled and then work started from there. The main part of the playfield was recreated exactly like apophis had it. Many easter eggs and other playfield additions brought in all over the place. Some you won't discover until you turn some models on in the script. I found myself going in circles at one point and things became cluttered and started to feel like a fake table (which it is) instead of a table that could really exist. Clutter was removed and some things on the plastics for example were reeled back in and simplified which I think brought some realism to the table. Thank you to @hawkeyez88 for working on updating his puppack for TOH. The table and puppack go hand in hand and I do not recommend having the table without the puppack! I'd like to thank @hauntfreaks for making a special edition backglass for this release as well. (included GrimmReaper (discord) had one of the last edits in testing on the table for VR users. He replaced the Backglass with HF's image and put the puppack videos on the apron. Thank you. Lastly, I'd like to thank the initial conversation with VPW team and allowing me to use their table in a "redux MOD" of what had already been done by apophis. I give everyone involved in The Simpsons Pinball Party VPW release much thanks! I know I'm missing someone. Heck.. I should tag @UnclePaulie just because I'm certain he helped me somehow. lol The enjoyment of this table is 100% audio and visual related. Original rules of the game remain original. This is the season and time for some spooky pinball tables! I hope everyone enjoys. -redbone *** Please read before playing. There are several pieces/options to consider before you play! *** Table: The table script has cGameName="simpprtyh" set. You must set an alias in your VPMAlias.txt file to "simpprtyh,simpprty" or change cGameName back to "simpprty". This is a must or the table will not run unless you then go and modify the script yourself. Rom and sound: It is recommended you use the included muted rom with this release. To negate any effects the muted rom has when playing the original game, you have two choices: 1. use the pup-pack included that adds the muted music back unmodified game. 2. Use the media pack for the official release. I have tested and both seem to work. I prefer option 2, as the altsound pack is awesome for the original game! Altsound file found here - AGAIN... Altsound is for original game to negate the effects of the muted rom! PUP-PACK: Thanks to Hawkeyez88 for doing an update to his puppack this release. It has new music selections and some bug fixes that really bring this all together. Get the pup-pack here - Altcolor: While not required, two options for altcolor are included. See folders altcolor.pac and altcolor.pal-vni respectively. Either should go in your altcolor folder, but NOT BOTH. Choose the right one(s) for your setup and what you want. Since you have an alias entered for "simpprtyh", you will need to have both the altcolor folders simpprty and simpprtyh dropped into your altcolor folder if you want a color dmd for both original and TOH. I hope that makes sense. Backglass: Two options for backglasses are included - a "2Screen" and a "3Screen". If you use the puppack, I suggest using the 2 screen. Although, in testing there were some that didn't use a backglass file at all and just did everything with the puppack. I really like what Hauntfreaks did with the backglass though. It's all personal preference. Submitter redbone Submitted 10/26/23 Category Modified (MOD) Games Modified by redbone
