Download is missing a couple of library files.

EVEL_K.fpl

EVEL_K_music.fpl

The table will not start without them.

 

[HZR]

Damn. I didn't even think about that..

I just found one problem no a very quick test. Some times I get the ball stopped on a rubber, like rubber scatter is not working causing the ball to bounce perfectly vertical until it stops on top of something.
I'm not sure if something is missing on needs some tweaking on the rubbers.

It happened on the top of the right slightshot. I had to nudge to make it roll down the slingshot to the right flipper.
Other than that 1st nice attempt (that i'm aware of) of you modifying a table.

 

[HZR]

its not finished. I wanted newer people to see that it isnt hard to add FizX ,;
ill update the notes on the table. I added FizX first attempt in about 30 min.
twesked it a bit and tried to adjust bumpers etc.

 

[AnonTet]

Yeah, new fizx is pretty easy to add to any table.

 

[Pinball Freak]

Where do i find the original table please.
Where do the fpl files go please cant get the table to start?

 

[AnonTet]

You can click the download button at the top for download.

I prefer to have all the necessary files (.fpt .fpl and .zip if needed) in ONE folder.
Others prefer them distributed in the FP folder inside /Libraries (.fpl) or /Scripts (.vbs) or /Tables (.fpt)

And inside /BAM/cfg you have to put the .cfg if provided by the author for example.

Scripts (.vbs) usually go into /Scripts though as they're used by the vast majority of the tables hence why they have to be globally accessible.

You should look for the amazing Terryred's mega guide available on this site. If it is not there or you don't understand something, please post in the help section of the forum.

Scripts are .fps (.vbs are for VP).

He has recently spoken with him, but has not updated the permission to MOD info on the download page.

Um any older table, im having trouble with the createtrackedball script command.
it seems it errors when i get rid of the old dynamic flipper code. that and zballrolling sounds.
could use some help in the elmstreet WIP section.. hint hint.... remember I had only been messing with tables and scripts for a few months when I added camera panning and autii view change for desktop scrolling and multiball.
seems a lot of people dont release the camera after multiball full table view and us few destop scrollers are left not seeing the ball or crooked table.
I just add the lines to the scripts. slams one of the few that release it back. Terry said he forgot all about it, but how many scroller view players are there?

is it really a huge deal. I mean if I changed the whole thing yeah, all I did was update the physics.

"is it really a huge deal. I mean if I changed the whole thing yeah, all I did was update the physics."

It is always a good idea to contact table authors and ask permission to mod their tables.
So it kind of is a huge deal no matter the amount of changes being made.
Some people may have a Permission to Mod posted on their tables download page, but sending them a message also doesn't hurt.

Some table authors may want to add FizX to their tables themselves.
Communication is the key.

This will save you from any possibe trouble down the road.

i get it, i searched for him and I also saw 2010, so i would have had no problem deleting it if he had wanted that.
no problem,

You said you talked to him, so if he wanted you to delete it, he probably would have told you then.
He has given you permission.
All looks good.

Sorry I haven't kept up with thing related to pinball lately.
Gravy and I touch base from time to time. He messaged me via VPforums.
I haven't logged to pinballnirvana in years hahaha. I have No probs with mods. A mention in the notes is good enough. Its Not really my intellectual property anyhow. Also the code in the couple of tables I had recreated was based on vbscripts by Popotte (should be noted in the notes)

If I need to change the notes in the table I released to make it more flexible let me know.
Also if anyone needs the recreated artwork files (mainly Photoshop and Vector files) I can upload them some ware (300-600mb)

Well, I didn't remember... It was a looooong time ago!

A long time ago indeed... 14-15 years ago hahaha. I messaged you on some long dead forum (FP official forum?) about using your code from strikes and spares.
EDIT Make that 15-16 years ago it was late 2007
