SS Original Table BAM FizX FP Blade Runner - Replicant Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3) 1.3

Blade Runner - Replicant Edition (PinEvent Lite, FizX 3.3)

Version 1.3 (Feb 2024)

Original Ultimate Pro 1.04 table by: SLAMT1LT
Replicant Edition, PinEvent Lite, FizX update by: TerryRed


SLAMT1LT's original table captures the visuals, sounds and atmosphere of this sci-fi classic movie.

I love Blade Runner, so I really wanted to add my own bit of flair to this amazing table. I've added my PinEvent Lite features for DOF, SSF, etc (PUP DMD is a future update).

I've also overhauled this table and modernized it to my own preferences for lighting, shadows, FizX physics, new art, and more. I added some new features and added many fixes that prevented game progression, etc. This makes an already great game look / sound / play absolutely amazing. I love it!






This table has been fully updated with FizX 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.

This table is single player only.

Desktop Static Camera Views

• during attract mode only, you can press plunger to toggle integrated static desktop camera views
• if you want to use your own BAM camera settings, or a FP camera view, then you must disable this feature in TABLE OPTIONS in the table script

Video Screen (apron option - cabinet only)

• you can chose to have the video screen displayed on the apron. This can be changed in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

Action Buttons (digital plunger, special 1, special 2)

• all buttons/keys will act as an autoplunger during gameplay

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


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 disable it in TABLE OPTIONS (in the table script)


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
• on this table, you can make changes to the Ambient and Diffusion Lighting in the table script in TABLE OPTIONS

Physics: FizX v3.3


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


Game not running smooth? Try the following:

• run FP in Fullscreen, not Windowed
• disable RayCast Ball Shadows in TABLE OPTIONS (in table script)
• 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
• DirectX
• Future Pinball
• the latest BAM update
• FuturePinball.exe and FPLoader.exe patched for 4 GB access
• BAM Settings files installed
• FizX 1K ball model (for more accurate physics, default.zip in BAM folder)

All of the above is included with the latest FP and BAM Essentials AIO package!

Super easy to use for a new install, or just to update your existing install. I recommend everyone install this package to ensure you have the latest required BAM updates.
