What else?

I was trying to get this discussion topic to join with this but it didn't work:

Support File - FP - Future Pinball, alternate versions

With this download, I'm sharing all the replacement FP .exes that have been published. Each of these have different versions of physics, but some also have other features like: 1) Removal of Future Pinball's splash and watermark 2) Removal of...

GeorgeH updated Future Pinball Installation Program and Alternate Executables with a new update entry:

Future Pinball Installation Program and Alternate Executables

This is a complete rewrite of the original posting which had links to the GoPinball site and also PinSimDB.org. Both sites have now been deleted so the files have been attached here and the links have been changed to working sites.

There seem to be quite a few questions recently about the alternate executable files and how you can do the same thing as the executables using other methods. This update has everything I know about them. Hopefully, it will help you to make smart decisions on what to do to best serve your needs. I am not a programmer so I can't look under the hood so to speak. If anyone has content they think I should add, please go ahead and tell me here.

I revised the description on the Overview due to the release of BAM version 1.5-351 which allows you to copy and paste more than 800 objects now.

To clarify, with BAM you can only "add" more than 800 objects. Once you are over 800 you still can't copy and paste to the table (which means you can't add more toys at that point).

Check out BAM 351 at the link below. I tested it and you can now add over 800 with copy and paste.

Whoops! Sorry George.... I'm behind the times and missed that there is a newer update (I should have read your post better). That makes our jobs MUCH easier now! Thanks for pointing this out!

I think it was an oversight on Rav's part on the version he changed years ago because it didn't take long for him to fix it. I was using the alternate exe when I worked on tables with > 800 objects until now. You probably won't even realize that you're exceeding 800 objects now when you work on a table.

I have revised the text on the Overview tab and added two additional screenshots to improve the clarity.

GeorgeH updated Future Pinball Installation Program and Alternate Executables with a new update entry:

Future Pinball Installation Program and Alternate Executables

The Default.zip file that removes the Future Pinball logo from the table loading screen had more files than were necessary to remove the logo. The 378.TGA file is all that is needed so I removed the other files.
