Can you build a state-of-the-art vpin cab with a 43" screen for $2,000? My new series on youtube tries to answer that question... ep1: the body ep2: the legs

View File Elektra (Bally 1981) w VR Room A version of Elektra VPX was originally done by 32assassin and artwork by Fancisco666. However in this release, images of the playfields and plastics were obtained off the web, and upscaled and cleaned up by redbone. Since the hole placements were different, there was lots of effort to move, resize, and edit most of all the elements. This is a really fun table to play... as it was the first pinball machine that had three different levels to it. Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, new upscaled playfields, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new baked general illumination lighting, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, saucers, playfield meshes, various primitives, etc. Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, kickouts, and overall playability. I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements, and I added a playfield mesh for the playfield, so there's a realistic bevel in the saucers. I would like to thank redbone for the graphics help, and Tomate for working the 4 ramps into blender with collision and textures. He also baked them in as well. And thank you to iaakki for baking in all the GI lighting and shadows. It looks so relistic!! And I would additional like to thank the VPW team for testing and feedback, especially Apophis, PinStratsDan, Sixtoe, BountyBob, TastyWasps, leojreimroc, and Bord. There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, and LUT lighting options. The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. The Dip Switch settings are done in the script and are hardcoded. IF... you want to change them, there's a setting in the script to manually override that, and then use F6 during gameplay to bring up the Dip Switch setting. This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.74, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet. Additional VR options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit. Thanks again to Redbone, Tomate, iaakki, and the VPW team! There are two great b2s's out there... one by Wildman (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/4963-elektra-bally-1981/), and one by Hauntfreaks if you would like the full dmd version (https://vpuniverse.com/files/file/12470-elektra-bally-1981-prototype-b2s-with-full-dmd/). I used Wildman's image in the VR backglass. Submitter UnclePaulie Submitted 05/17/2023 Category VPX - Pinball Tables  

View File Laser Cue (Williams 1984) w VR Room A version of Laser Cue VPX was originally done by Goldchicco, however in this release, most everything was done or redone once again, as the original table size was incorrect, and the playfield he used was high rez, but wasn't aligned correctly. This required me to completely redo everything like I did on Jungle Lord and Barracora. Thank you to Hauntfreaks for helping with the initial playfield image. He used his magic to get it upscaled and enhanced. I then got the text looking good, as well as various color mods. This is another early 80's Williams table like Black Knight, Solar Fire, Jungle Lord, Pharaoh, etc. This has a very basic ruleset, but good game play, Table instructions are included in the Table info section. Laser Cue is a four flipper game from 1984, and features an unusual “billiards in space”, science-fiction theme. The game is equipped with a bell that rings when billiard balls are collected or extra balls achieved. The main bank of drop targets are individually controlled, and must be collected in the indicated order to remain dropped. Extra ball play guarantees the player twenty-five seconds of play time, serving all lost balls within that time back to the shooter lane. (excerpt from Pinside). Since the table is basic, there were essentially two ways the table was set up to play... easy and hard. I have it defaulted to HARD. There is an option in the script to make it easy. (Easy mode adds a rail between the right two flippers. const FlipperGuideHard = "0" is the easy setting, and adds a guard rail between right flippers. "1" removes it. (Default is "1" / hard). Included in this Version 2.0 is Hybrid VR/desktop/cabinet modes, new upscaled playfield and plastics, VPW physics, flipper tricks, dynamic shadows, Fleep sounds, Lampz, 3D inserts, new general illumination lighting, sling corrections, drop and stand-up targets, etc. Significant time was spent on researching online videos, to ensure accuracy of shots, ball drops, and overall playability. I also created a desktop backglass with a cool lighting effect, as well as the VR backglass and other VR options. There are also some performance improvements. I would like to thank the VPW team for testing and feedback (especially Hauntfreaks, Apophis, Tastywasps, PinStratsDan and all others who tested!) Also thanks for prior assistance on items used in this table, including Tomate (lower rail prim), Goldchicco, and the rest of the VPW team! There are several options in the script. Including VR, ball brightness, LUT lighting options, and you can turn the bell off if you don't like that sound. Also, you can set the difficulty level, and the volume of the bell. The LUT changes are done by holding cntl (or left mangasave) and then while holding, scroll through the options with the right magnasave. This is a hybrid table done in VPX 10.72, and I have code in here to automatically choose between VR, desktop, and cabinet. Additional options in the script include two VR environments, a VR clock, a topper, posters, and settings for dynamic shadows if you experience a performance hit. Thanks again to the VPW team for feedback! Submitter UnclePaulie Submitted 01/27/2023 Category VPX - Pinball Tables

Thanks to @Wob for many hours of beta testing for Vpins and all the great and useful dump files! Also thanks to Alessandro and Rainer for beta testing for real pins! UPDATE 1.2 After the last update still had some major issues, I worked on it again and provide version 1.2 now. Changelog: - Full multiplayer color support - Freeplay mode color support - fixed missing camel race frames - improved skill shot animation - many fixes for real pins. Known (minor) issue: - random swipes and transitions not colorized Instructions: This time I already renamed the files for you ? , so just extract the rar file to your vpinmame\altcolor\totan_14 folder. Make sure you have freezy´s latest dmddevice.dll installed and working correctly on your system and activate the 4 color mode on your table by hitting F1. Make sure you set the rom language to english, other languages will not work. This colorization is optimized for rom version totan_14. Requests for real pins, please send pm. Enjoy! If you like and use it, feel warmly invited to hit the tip button, thanks for your support. TOTAN 1.2.rar

I updated my Documentation: VPIN – build your own Virtual Pinball in a old cabinet. This documentation summarizes two stages of development and round about: 1.25 years (duration) of the last 5 years (time) maybe there´s some helpful information for a few of you. have fun... ? Greetz fR33Styler
