1970 Gottlieb Mini Cycle VP9

[Patch]

Looks like I'll have to start using round rubbers & those faceted guide posts
& learn how to make animated plungers & vari-targets :)

Same layout as Polo & another Italian version which had 3" flippers
Playfield itself should be an easy redraw, but could be made as is, as a 'well used but working' version
The middle coin hides a blemish on the apron, the other just an extra

Here's a link to a perfect apron by Grizz (JR)

Itchigos table templates all have cool posts and toys
that you can use to make that pin a tad prettier
try his four player table for some nice posts and such
that you see on the right side of the play field

Actually the posts are from Eala (with permission). But the template is all precoded. It comes in many flavors too.

Hey Patch, my template has an animated plunger, and Download Rube Goldberg 2. It has a varitarget.

Ended up creating flat wall shapes over PF image & exporting blueprint for colour fill.
Will do it again, as there's a few errors - yellow should be more of a mustard & some outline is missing up the top
Also would like it sharper - especially between the flippers
Started pasting faceted guide posts in, but had prob's trying to work with magnify, so Lego type posts for now



My monitor is 1680 X 1050

I don't use those faceted posts any more due to their sheer size!
each one is made of about twenty to fifty ramps and you have about fifteen of them in a pin,
that makes for a hell of a lot of file space wasted just for all those damn ramps!
I use standard posts (solid round walls) rather than those many-faceted posts
they don't look as purty but they sure take up a hell of a lot less file space!

Should be making no frills versions for people with slower PCs &/or download limits, etc.?
As for monitor sizes - I made El Dorado with 4:3 monitor, seems ok on current wide screen, without any mods
Have got VP8 & VP9 both working now, also now can work in magnify
So Mini Cycle's been shelved & have started on El Dorado update again
Will start new thread for that & most definitely will be asking Q's :)

A table that size, good posts shouldn't be a problem. That looks good. The graphics take a lot of resources. Hi def pics take a lot, so some authors add hi rez and low rez pics with instructions on how to change them.
Looking good.

since that pin does not use that many posts
I agree the better posts (ramp made) will stand out in a pin like that
making it 'pop' just a bit more
