Aliens Legacy - "Game Over, Man" (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.0)

Version 1.0 (July 2023)

Original table design and concept by: David Eisner
Ultimate Pro 1.03 table by: SLAMT1LT
Game Over Man, PinEvent Lite, FizX update by: TerryRed


Aliens Legacy Pinball started long ago around 2010 as an original design by David Eisner, then later updated by Destruk, Pinballwzd, Steve Paradis and Tom Niwinski.

After that, the table was updated many times by SLAMT1LT (ULTRA, HARDCORE, Ultimate / Bad Ass, etc). Years later, he updated the table with a massive awesome update for his Ultimate Pro version. It has become one of my favorite all time tables.

BAM has had many new updates and new features added since the Ultimate Pro table was released years ago. I love the Alien movies, so I really wanted to add my own bit of flair to this amazing table.

I've added my PinEvent Lite features and overhauled this table and modernized it to my own preferences for lighting, shadows, FizX 3.0 physics, and more. I added some new features, new models, new changes, and more. This makes an already great game look / sound / play absolutely amazing. I love it!



FizX v3.0



This table has been fully updated with FizX v3.0 physics for game changing new physics on Future Pinball. FizX uses techniques similar to nFozzy physics on VPX to completely change the physics for the flippers, slings, rubbers, targets, ball behavior and more that allows this table play much more realistically than anyone ever thought was possible on Future Pinball. You will be amazed at the difference!



PinEvent Lite



I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).

PinEvent Lite features for this table:

• DOF (basic config, no custom animated effects... yet)
• PUP (simple backglass and speaker grill options)
• PUP SSF
• Night Mode
• TILT BOB

NOTE: PinEvent Lite tables do NOT have PUP-Pack options that include support for PUPDMD / videos / modern text, etc. That will come at a later date, when the table is upgraded to PinEvent V2.



DMDExt

Cabinet users will need to use DMDExt to mirror the FP DMD to their DMD display / real DMD. Read the included Install Instructions for more info and links on how to do this.

====================================================================


TABLE OPTIONS






BAM Ray Cast Ball Shadows:

• this table was created to look best with the new BAM Ray Cast Ball shadows
• this feature is ENABLED on the table script by default
• this feature requires a fast video card, and will use much more of your GPU
• if the table doesn’t run smooth, then your PC may not be fast enough to handle this feature (and you should disable it)

To disable this feature, you MUST “first” disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script), AND in the BAM menu “afterward” while playing:

• open BAM menu (~ or Q by default), and goto "Addons - Configure Ball and Shadows"

BAM Menu - Light and Post Processing settings:

• BAM Lighting and Post Processing settings are set by the table script and will ALWAYS override the user's settings
• this is required to ensure that all lighting is set correctly at all times

Physics: FizX v3.0


===================================================================


Game not running smooth? Try the following:

• run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
• disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS "first", then disable in the BAM menu while playing (Addons - Configure Ball and Shadows)
• disable Reflections options in FP's Video / Rendering settings
• reduce / disable Antialiasing in FP's Video / Rendering settings
• disable any SSAO options in BAM plugins menu (disabled by default)

====================================================================


TABLE REQUIREMENTS (very important!)

• All Visual C++ Runtime updates
• FP and BAM (updated to 1.5-365 or higher)
• Future Pinball and BAM Essentials AIO package (installed AFTER installing FP or after updating BAM)
• my BAM Settings files installed
• the REQUIRED “Video / Rendering Options” and “Editor Options” set in Future Pinball settings (included with the table's zip file)

====================================================================
