View File Alien Star (Gottlieb 1984) Gottlieb's 1984 Alien Star! Journey to an Alien Star for a pinball battle in space! Multiball, skill shots, and plenty of fast action! So much fun to play! Thanks to Borgdog for providing original playfield and plastic scans, cabinet stencils, and physical measurements of his actual table. He also had lots of authentic Gottlieb primitives to use, and did a tremendous amount of testing! Thanks also to Redbone who took those scans of the playfield and plastics and did a tremendous amount of work to get them to look so good! He also spent a ton of time with all the other graphics on the table as well as a ton of testing! Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass. DarthVito did the VR wall environment. I updated to latest VPW standards, physics, GI and shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, updated backglass for desktop, playfield mesh for a saucer bevel, roth standup targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Dozens and dozens of hours were spent studying gameplay videos (2 streams were recorded by Borgdog) to match the table skill shots and action. Thanks also to Rothbauerw for providing updated flipper physics code to help with the skillshots. That code was needed to be able to do some of the skillshots. This table is loaded with options. Various balls, ball brightness, flippers, tents, caps, plastic edge colors, LUTs, Dip settings, siderails, and plenty of other VR stuff. Redbone encouraged me to include special edge LED lighting in the plastics that iaakki originally did for another table. Looks really cool, and is included as an option. The ROM can be found at pinballnirvana.com... alienstr.zip). There's an option in the script to change the DIPS, however it will load a default set when you launch the table. NOTE: YOU HAVE TO START THE TABLE 1ST, EXIT, AND THEN RESTART FOR DIP CHANGES TO TAKE EFFECT. This is ONLY the first time you launch the table. There's also an option for "Tourney Mode". In that mode it'll play a little harder with different DIP settings, which excludes extra ball... and only allows for points on 3 balls. Tourney mode also sets colors and rainbow'ed LEDs on plastics. NOTE: you'll have to start and restart the first time in that mode for the DIP changes to take effect. If you want to change the DIPs... you will need to go into the script options and change SetDIPSwitches to 1, then open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options. Once entered, you can exit out, and restart. That will then set the new ROM settings. These are the default DIPS that are and set at original table launch: 1=Coin Chute same 0=3rd coin chute no effect 0=Game mode of replay for hitting threshold 1=Number of balls =3 1=Playfield Special of extra ball (However in tourney mode this is zero) 0=Novelty of normal game mode (However in tourney mode this is zero) 1=Match feature 1=Background Sound Thanks again to Borgdog and Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, the stencils, the testing, and all the feedback! Also thanks to Hauntfreaks for the updated Backglass images, and to Rothbauerw for his flipper physics code. Also thanks to pinstratsdan, and everyone else from the VPW team that provided testing and feedback! Submitter UnclePaulie Submitted 01/27/24 Category VPX - Pinball Tables  

View File Super Orbit (Gottlieb 1983) Gottlieb's Super Orbit! Lots of fun to play, with a varitarget, orbits, and lots of bonus opportunities. Redbone spent considerable time to get the playfield and plastic images just right, as resources for this table were very limited. As usual lots of hours were put in on this one, and lots of tweaking on the varitarget and physics to emulate a real machine. I implemented the latest VPW standards, physics, GI and shadow baking, Lampz and 3D inserts, dynamic shadows, updated backglass for desktop, roth standup and varitarget targets, standalone compatibility, sling corrections, optional DIP adjustments, updated flipper physics, VR and fully hybrid modes, Flupper style bumpers and lighting, gBOT system and trough. Redbone provided the playfield and updated the plastics and apron, and other images. Hauntfreaks provided the higher resolution VR backglass and Silversurfer updated the cab artwork. I also added options for balls, ball brightness, LUTs, Dip settings, siderails, and plenty of other VR stuff. DarthVito provided a few additional wallpaper VR Room walls. You can find the ROM at pinballnirvana.com... sorbit.zip. Also, I've included the nvram file to initially set the Dips, as the ROM creates settings that should be adjusted. You can either grab the nvram file and put it in your nvram directory, or follow this process to do an initial setup for yourself. (When you open the table, hit F6 (that'll load the default DIPS and display them). You can then select various ROM options, and I recommend these shown below. Once entered, you can exit out, and in the script, you can set the SetDIPSwitches to zero. That will set the ROM settings and turn off the option. If you later want to change that, you can turn it back on and change the dips.) - 3 ball - Playfield special of "extra ball" - Game mode of "replay" - Novelty of "normal" - Check the Match, Credits Thanks again to Redbone for the playfield and plastic images, Rothbauerw for the varitarget code, Hauntfreaks for the updated VR Backglass, DarthVito for additional VR walls, and Silversurfer for the cab art images! Also thanks to everyone else from the VPW team that provided feedback! Submitter UnclePaulie Submitted 01/14/24 Category VPX - Pinball Tables  

View File Mousin' Around! (Bally 1989) w VR Room So you wanna mouse around! This table was originally done by Herwey, and he gave me the permission to add all the latest physics, sounds, etc. to this fun table. Thank you very much, Herwey! On his version 1.1 he had help from several others including Schreibi, OldSkoolGamer, ICPjuggla, Cosmic80, Flupper, JPSalas, 32assassin, Sliderpoint, Ninuzzu, Dark, DJRobX, TTTTTWii, Bork and Thalamus. I did quite a few updates in version 2.0 mentioned below (and detailed in the vpx script), essentially getting up to the latest VPW physics and sounds, and other corrections. Also thanks to Rothbauerw, PinStratsDan, Bord, Tomate, Sixtoe, Thalamus, and Benji for improvements, testing, and feedback on the 2.0 version! If you are playing in VR... you MUST select VR_Room = 1 in the script!! There are several options to select in the script, including ball brightness, color mods, GI and Flasher options, VR Room, VR clock, VR posters, VR topper. Color mods and flippers can be changed by clicking the right and left magna save buttons. (You can turn that off in the script as well) IF YOU experience performance issues... there are options to change that. First of all, you can uncheck "Reflect Elements on Playfield in the table options window. Also, you can turn dynamic shadows off for additional performance if needed. Version 2.0 Updates include: - Implemented the table to a hybrid (desktop, cab, and VR), and has options for ball brightness. - Added VR to include an animated backglass (image from Wildman), and several VR options (room, poster, clock, topper). - The table and flipper physics have been updated to the latest VPW standards, as well as dynamic shadows, drop targets, ramprolling sounds, and several other tweaks. - Fleep sounds added, as well as relay sounds. - Added Flupper dome and Flupper bumpers. - Adjusted the flippers to be actual size, and tweaked the flipper physics. - Corrected a couple errors in the table, as the million lights didn't light up correctly, and a few other things. - Adjusted the lighting levels some. - Rothbauerw corrected some code to control the motorbank correctly, as there were cases it wouldn't move or impact nvram. He also helped correct some other trap code issues. - Tomate added new plastic ramps and textures. - Enhanced performance as much as I could by removing all getballs calls and no longer destroy and recreate balls. I implemented only the gBOT global call. - Updated the trough code to manage all balls on the table. - Updated some images to implement see through holes in the apron and back wall. - And several other updates, all documented in the script. Once again thank you to Herwey, Rothbauerw, PinStratsDan, Bord, Tomate, Sixtoe, Thalamus, and Benji for improvements, testing, and feedback!!
