Someone contacted me about wanting to play this table so I decided I would update it to FizX and release it. This table was originally built by Docam, and then updated by SLAMTILT to his ULTIMATE table series.

SLAMTILT changed how this table plays compared to the original.
  • When Eve's lifeforce is draining, the bumpers will lose power (and points), 1 each time until they're all unlit. Shooting the spinner will increase Eve's lifeforce by a small amount, and will power an unlit bumper back on if enough lifeforce is collected. But shooting the tube and getting to the chamber is always the better option for a full recharge.
  • If Eve's lifeforce drops to zero she holds her breath and makes a desperate attempt to return to the chamber, so only a ramp shot can save her. During this time the player's score will rapidly decline until it reaches zero, when the table will tilt and the ball will be lost.
FizX 3.0

This is similar to nFozzy physics on VPX and a huge upgrade over the previous FP physics.

REQUIREMENTS

Future Pinball and BAM (1.5-365 or higher) is REQUIRED to play this table!
  • for new installs, you can get a 2 in 1 installer at ravarcade’s site (link is below)
https://www.ravarcade.pl/

Always run FPLoader.exe in /Future Pinball/BAM folder to play this table. DO NOT run directly from the FuturePinball.exe:
  • FPLoader.exe needs to have administrator level permissions. You can change this file to "Run as Administrator" in the file properties
  • If the application is crashing, try switching the compatibility mode on FPLoader.exe to Windows 7 compatibility
INSTALLATION

Download and unzip the zip file into /Future Pinball/Tables. This will create a Xenon folder where two files will be located in it, a .fpt and a .zip
  • DO NOT unzip the zip file named Xenon ULTIMATE Pro 1.02f7.zip that will be in the unzipped folder, it must stay as a zip with the table file (.fpt) to use the new 1k physics Ball and to remove the loading screen Future Pinball text.
  • Make sure that your Future Pinball settings follow what you see below: (this was made by Terry)
1699926178081.png


Loading screen for desktop or cabinet view

The table is currently setup for desktop view, to change it to use the cabinet version, in the editor go to Table > Table Info... > change the Loading Picture to !LoadingCabinet

Ball rolling sound


To increase ball rolling sound, go to the table script and search for FP_BallRoll_Max_Volume. Change the current setting to the desired setting. Default is 1, however I currently set it to = 0.3

RayCast Shadows

Raycast has been added to the table and is ON by default. This can be an issue on older hardware. To turn it off, go into the table script and search for use_RayCast_Shadows and change the value after the = from true to false. Save the table and close Future Pinball before launching your table again.

Love the computer generated voices! This was one of my favorite physical pinball machines! You sir have done it Justice! I downloaded 1.02b, before I got to install it you uploaded 1.02c. Now you just uploaded 1.02d. Here I go again! :-)

Another FizX updated table and also another VR beauty. The art alone is reason enough to have this table in the collection but let us not forget it never played better due to FizX. If you want Xenon in FP, this is the version to have.

Awesome table.

This is a nice clean update to a great table.

I adjusted FP_BallRoll_Max_Volume to 0.1 which might seem low but I noticed it gets multiplied by 10 in the script. I have seen others adjust ball-rolling sounds this loud but it is a distraction to me and doesn't seem realistic when it is that loud. This is not a problem for the table because FP_BallRoll_Max_Volume was placed there for end users to adjust.

Thanks George! It's indeed better with what you said. It was indeed loud and I didn't know I could change it. Release 1.02b will have that update in it.

    I’m looking for Contact (1933, Williams)
    Quote
  • A (Guest) Alena:
    (AI prompt) is contact available (1933 version)?
    Quote
  • ChatGPT @ ChatGPT:
    @, As of my knowledge cutoff in 2023, the 1933 version of the film "Contact" does not exist. It seems there might be a confusion with the title or the year. The well-known film "Contact" is a science fiction drama released in 1997, directed by Robert Zemeckis and starring Jodie Foster and Matthew McConaughey. It is based on the 1985 novel of the same name by Carl Sagan.

    If you are looking for a different film from 1933 or a film with a similar title, please provide more details so I can assist you better. If you are indeed referring to the 1997 film "Contact," it is widely available on various streaming platforms, DVD, and Blu-ray.

    New to FP. I'm on Linux and using Lutris. Have installed FP from the Lutris repo. It does not have BAM support so I can only play non-BAM tables. Some of the tables show up w/o a playfield image...how do I fix that?
