I see there are not many pinball table wips on this website.

You guys quit or something?

That hardly answers the question 1234fd.

Paul would get very upset if someone put a link elsewhere in answer to a question about table work at VPF. I understand that does not matter to either of you though.

A fucking link to VPF in answer to a question specifically to this site, about this site. What a fucking idiot.

 

[1234fd]

Wether you like it or not, this link IS the answer to the question.

 

[Mitchell]

I understand why he post the link. More likely that where the most of people are at that is showing the tables in progressing. I have his answer.

 

[Shockman]

It does not bother me that the link is there. I think one of the bigger texts at a VP site's front page should be links to the other VP sites. But that's just me, and it is not the point.

The link to VPF may be the best answer to the question, in an oversimplified kind of way.

The f*****g idiot like it simple.

 

[Shockman]

The sentence makes no sense, but if you are saying I like simple answers, it is incorrect. I like informative, and complete answers.

If you were helpful here that would have been one thing. But a review of your posts suggest you post to other reasons.

I have a few games in the works for VP since my laptop now has dual boot. I've not posted for a long period of time since my wi-fi is just retarded. Otherwise I am working on things and also have a few adventure games being done for another program. Folks I'm sure are still working on games for VP. I still do. I just don't plan on any total public releases; and when I visit over at VPF I usually don't post but use the chatroom WHEN I can get a decent connection which hasn't happened for two weeks.

I am not putting up wip pics any more ever
either here or over at vpf.
if I run into a problem then I may post a pic of one
but most likely it's just the code now for the problem
as to why there are so many other there?
well it's a newer site, it gets much more publicity,
it's always being updated and imo I think not too many of the newer members over there even know of this site
but my pins do go up onto both sites as there are some who do not or can't, visit vpf

Dear Doucheadic,
Most email programs contain a button marked "reply". By clicking that button, you can reply to emails you have received, rather than uker: your personal email conversations all over the message board. I know this is a foreign concept to you, since you're used to posting emails in which people like Noah call you a douche et al, but i think that, with enough practice, even you can get a handle on this rudimentary computer application.

Alright sweetie, it's appreciated. Kiss kiss and all that. I love you too.

These last posts are another explanation to why there are not many (if any) WIP posted here.

Unfortunately this place has become a chit chat between half a dozen people repeating the same old things again & again & again & again.........

Leaving, nothing to do or learn or share here.
It´s a real pity.
Used to be a great place.

I agree with you about what's wrong with this place, but now some of those half a dozen people will start badmouthing you probably. Don't take it as an insult, but as a sign that you aren't part of the problem.

Actually I've posted wips here before with little to no responses as well as release threads. So id prefer to post where at least more input is givin rather that the nudge sucks and did you add start shake and its just another cabinet table when the majority users are desktop users.

I used to be here all the time also, but the freedom to beaten people here has turned me off to the site.

And the so called vp veterans do more harm than good most times

glad you are still around though tiltjlp, you've always been a big help to me

Well said Unclewilly. It didn't matter where I posted though since the WIP I created got very little responses. I updated two flippered pinballs and a few flipperless but that was enough for me. I now use VP not for pinball but other arcade/puzzle type of games that other folks seem to not want to try to make or start.

I post very rarely but when I do there is a ton of bitching and complaining. So, I've decided to take myself to other places where I can do more good than harm. Working with text adventure games has once again put me on the right track and it's been fun.

The freedom to beaten people is rampant here and I for one am a but bothered by this. Yes, I do have a mouth (I admit it) but when I can't start something that starts up a big complaint war I feel better.

Funny thing is many folks think I want "fanfare" but that's not the case. Just a single "thanks" would be nice. Very rarely do I get them but when I do it's nice to know someone else enjoys what you've put work into. The last thanks I got was at VPF in my PM and that person is a very seasoned programmer - this made me feel the best I've ever felt in the years I've used VP. The kind words were a breath of fresh air to me and it made me realize everything I did in VP was well worth it :)

Sadly though, I've dropped pinball all together. There is no more fun from it for me. I'm just very glad there are others who enjoy it and keep it going.

You're right about this place UncleWilly, it's almost a lost cause.

 

[Shockman]

WIP's are a showing of the progress of a mans', or a groups' work. If this includes a file, and a request for input, one should expect input from all angles, otherwise input from others should be of no import.

I don't know why someone should expect, or want thanks for a WIP. WIPs are not anything to others if they are not completed, instructive, or includes requests for testing, resources, or problem solving.

 

[unclewilly]

I never said anything about thanks or fanfare. I said input on the project.
But as usual with you shockman, there is no debating a point with you, its just your truth over and over and over again until i just don't want to read it anymore.

So you are right. Im sure the lack of wips and table upload here has nothing to do with the way you and others on this forum berate people and each others

 

[LeeVanCleef]

I usually don't go out of my way to "beat" people, as Uncle Willy stated, but, in a different thread, that moron Doucheadic created a whole history where I "complained about everything after the facts have been posted" in regards to him, when I had never once conversed with him, even obliquely, in any other thread on any forum. I don't mind idiots, and I'm more than happy to quietly accept their existence. But when an idiot directly attacks me, I can't help but fit them for their dunce cap. If that makes him feel less welcome here, then that makes this site a better place.
I think Bob said it best in another thread, that Pinball Nirvana is a little behind the curve as far as VP9 goes, and we all know there's a better site to find the latest info on what's going on in the latest VP development. So PN is a nice place to talk to friends about whatever comes to mind... whether it's Star Trek, global warming or the scariest strip bar in America. Mind you, every now and again, there'll be a Shocky-rant about VPForums, and John will start an equally bitter rant about putting Shockman on "ignore"... but if you can get over a few of the speed bumps, this is a comfortable place to be.

Edit: trimmed a bunch of html / Word settings. Not sure what they were here for. --Ike

Nor did I say anything about you. I can't help it if a general statement strikes a cord with you or anyone else.

You must have gotten a response to a WIP here that you were unhappy with though, and I'm getting the feeling it was from me, but I don't remember it. I remember saying something about one of your WIPs at VPF though, and you were never the same towards me afterward.

The remark about VP veterans making things worse is strange. What do you mean by that?

 

[faralos]

to me putting up pics of a wip is kind of like stroking your ego a bit.
it is saying lookie lookie at what I am doing! isn't it cool?
yeah I admit I love to watch as wip's come together but I do not
and I don't think anyone else does either expect or want any kind of thanks for them.
If anything all we want is some input, does it look okay, good ball flow,
colors or maybe some help with it every now and then
that's all though, I don't want nor need (not that I ever get any anyhow)
pats on the back of any kind...

 

[wrenchien]

hi there

i dunno.... it drove me crazy

 

[sleepy]

Hey wrenchien, good to see you. :)

Crazy? Well, that's normal for around here I think.
