BAM FP Paolo (wild) table's...." demonstration and to bam update"

[Paolo]

Ok,I am in the 10% of authors who are still "almost" active in the world of Fp / Bam, and therefore I ask not to include my tables in FP PinSimDB Archive.
So every now and then I update some of my tables in Bam, and I show it here in this thread, until then I decide to publish it myself.

This is the first one I decided to update, this is my absolute favorite table, when I didn't understand anything about Fp, I had entered in Gopimball in the thread "which table would you like to see in FP" (someone for sure remembers it), some photos of this table, after years (maybe 8) I managed to create it myself, with the help of other friends, which I will include in the description.

I added;
*New Gameroom(bat-cave),this is crazy.....batman who has to play his own pinball!!
*Spot light,ball included.
*Optimal physics (I still have to improve).
*Color flippers.
*Mini-playfleld function(9 in total) for me a record, made by me alone.
*Some improvements here and there.

Note: in this table it took me more than a year to make it, as my skills evolve!

Here's who contributed

* Paolo(wild): Recreation-build and script made.
* Franzleo: Set material.
* Gin: Set animations.
* Popotte: Help in script
* Francisco: Help in script.
* Whitey Weissman: sound and music recovered.
* Ravarcade: custom ball made.

Thanks!!

 

[Paolo]

I apologize for the poor quality of the video, I can't get better!!

About the "ball in spot light" you can notice it more at minute 2:15 in the ramp, I maybe noticed a problem, that in the multiball, the new balls generated are not in sopt light, does anyone know this?
I asked Rav, in the meantime.

 

[telmoabff]

Great! Eager to try it out!

 

[madmrmax]

Looks awesome Paolo! Watching the video at 2:15 mark it looks like the spotlight is following the ball when you have the "manual ball roller" active. I do see additional yellow streak over triggers that aren't as noticeable in other cases.

 

[NitroNimbus]

@Paolo is one of the limited and true authors of FP tables left.
What he has added and contributed to this hobby should be commended double fold.
I appreciate talent, innovation, commitment and passion.
Respect is the only thing I can say, and thank you...
Just hope the new wave passing through understands how important you are in this hobby, cheers!

@madmrmax
Thanks Mark!!!
The idea is just that, leave a luminous trail in that ramp, if you notice the "custom ball" has the golden batman emblem, if since the "ball trails" does not seem to work well in the transparent ramps then I inserted a reflector inside the ball , you do not notice much in the playfield due to the fact that the playfield is characterized in a dark environment, but I can increase the brightness, and decrease the width of the beam.

@NitroNimbus
Thanks Nitro!! I spend a few words for you, because it is my thread.
Nitro,you too have contributed to FP / BAM in your own way with your mod2.0,which are very much appreciated, and which I am very pleased to see that they are available again.

Certain circumstances have led you to try vpx, nothing to the contrary, but I hope you can resume Fp sooner or later.....in those circumstances I know, you in a sense are like me, you have no hair on your tongue you say what you think,and sometimes what you expose is misunderstood, and consequently misunderstandings arise, but I know that you love FP after all, and would like to see things that I would like to see too, but it is not simple and sometimes is complicated for we to be understood.

I know that yours is an outlet, I certainly don't think drugs and alcohol consume you(fun), but it's a simple joke or way of saying, to play down

 

[Paolo]

Ok,I put my greeting back here.....
First to all,hello to all fellow FP, @Popotte @Gimli @GeorgeH @madmrmax @AnonTet @TerryRed @NitroNimbus and many others......including the staff.

Life is hard, little time, and not much desire, but FP is always FP, and I don't forget my hobby, and I am pleased to see that with Bam it is constantly evolving, I don't know if one day I will be able to insert Fizx, because I am far behind , and above all I understand that it is out of my reach,nothing is simple......So, consequently, I can't publish any table for now, in order to avoid disappointing users, who are now inclined to play with fizx, having said that we'll see

I'm inserting this video, to show the updated rules on this masterpiece of my friend Gianfranco(FranzLeo), I Paolo / wild updated to Bam, and added many things.......this is in his memory....

Space Cadet 3D (Maxis, 1996) pinball: Version "3.0"Bam version.
* Added Bam Staff.
* Added Optimal Physics.
* Added Backbox DMD info.
* Added Multiball WormHoleKicker.
* Added New System Of Magnete On Gravity Well.
* Added New System Color For All Bumpers And Arrow WormHole Light.
* Added Change Color Arrow On The Spinner Hyperspace.
* Added Some Sound And New Music.
* Fixed Some Error.
* Added Many Ornament.

@Paolo
I'm still hoping for Diamond Lady to see the light of day here at PN but more importantly, I'm glad you're still around.

 

[madmrmax]

Glad to hear from you Paolo! Love the update of Space Cadet!! Looks like it plays amazing with the changes! Hope life can get better for you (and everyone). Enjoy each hour, day, and week. I'm glad you can find an outlet (when you have time with) with FP.

take care!

Thank you George! not full time, to tell the truth not even half time, I still have physical problems, and therefore I don't have much time and desire to do, life is hard for me right now.....just a vent for now.
Yes cadash is a pinball with a lot of work done by me and Bob, it's a table with a lot of things inside, but at the moment it needs a lot of work to update it to Bam, and make it more playable, all my tables without Bam, are with the old physics of fp, in those times do if you remenber??? and so... we'll see later.

I'm still hoping for Diamond Lady to see the light of day here at PN but more importantly, I'm glad you're still around.

one day it will be, my friend.

Many thanks Mark,Your thoughts are greatly appreciated my friend
I joyfully remember your adventure when you started Dragon Keep, you contributed to the creation of the table, which for me remains one of the best tables I have made together with Gianfranco.

I would like to ask a question for whoever can answer me.
i usually @NitroNimbus comments on my posts,but i see this


what does it mean? why is it banned again?

 

[Paolo]

Bene!!, as I said to George, time and desire, the last time I played a bit on FP, and I replayed this table of mine, it was one of the first, when I still didn't know how to code even a light bulb.
in fact Francisco did the script part, and designed the playfield according to my will, I built the table, arranged the rules, sounds and music, with some graphics.
I was inspired by the video game and the anime series (who doesn't see it?) the arcade game is something spectacular I recommend trying it, in fact the initial video is taken from there.

I put a video to show the table, but it's the old standard physical version, and without bam, there's a lot to do to update it, especially the gameplay, in physics part, I'll see if I can do something, enjoy the video folks.

The fact that he was banned not just at PN but on other sites says everything that needs to be known. As they say at the movies "nothing to see here, move along" :)

Ok, I don't know the reason in other sites, but here in PN, what did he do? Last thing I remember, was a comment addressed to Terry....ok maybe it wasn't a delightful comment, but one that I remember wasn't offensive,

I have received some insults(few years ago) and less than positive comments, and even sent me to fuck myself, I think you all remember it, and yet the guy it has not been banned,dleading me to step away from Pn, and delete my tables in resourcer, still waiting for a conversation with Jon, on that matter,.....so staff
@xenonph @shiva @StevOz
what did nitro do to get banned again? what did he do so terrible that he can't be forgiven, yet I see his "mods" available to all.
and I want to be clear, I don't want to play "devil's advocate", or anyone, I'm just trying to understand
so I urge you to reflect..

regards

Nitro continued with the harassment and it escalated/got worse. He was warned several times and was banned for short intervals. Permanent banning was the only option left.

If you remember, you and I had a spat back on GoPinball but neither of us was banned. I suggest just letting it drop. Nothing productive can come of it.

 

[TerryRed]

This may give some clarity.

Shout Box Restriction

I am saddened to announce that Guest access to the shout box and other site services has had to be limited for the time being due to continued abuse by one former member. The continued attacks againest the staff here, as well as other members, just can no longer be tolerated, so now we here at...

Ok, I didn't understand.... what kind of harassment it is? what's the point of the Shout Box with nitro? i.e. I don't understand....
then I don't understand why I asked the admins, and they don't answer me......mmmm

I don't remember that we had a fight George, you remember badly, we had a debate, it was about XML, directly in script and that nobody used, and I was the first, I had expressed a wish that I wanted to say myself, but then you did it, here's the debate, nothing to ban, I've never acted to be banned.

anyway if the administrators have decided so for nitro, sorry about that, give another chance if it's possible, we can all make mistakes and nobody is perfect, topic closed for me.

Ok, this is a project started a few years ago together with Rav, there is still a lot to do, unfortunately Rav, he doesn't have time,( after all, me too)he's too busy on other projects, maybe one day it will be completed.

"I don't understand why I asked the admins, and they don't answer me......mmmm"

The reason I didn't answer was because I thought GeorgeH and TerryReds posts above explained it well.

The link in TerryRed's post above shows what Shiva said on the matter...

I am saddened to announce that Guest access to the shout box and other site services has had to be limited for the time being due to continued abuse by one former member. The continued attacks againest the staff here, as well as other members, just can no longer be tolerated, so now we here at PN are forced to restrict access to prevent continued attacks for the time being, and have joined with the other vp and fp community sites in banning this former member. In my 22 years as a community member, this is only the 2nd person to ever be banned community wide, and I personally am upset that we here have been forced to do this.

It has been the policy of this website to never ban anyone unless it was under extreme circumstances, but after reviewing screen shots of the comments after they were removed (another policy of this website), several requests, and going over the history from other websites, I just have to preserve the peace of this website.

As a admin here, I am a volunteer, just like the other admins, and I dedicate my time to help build this website, to promote our pinball passion, and to spend what ever time I have spare to help others fullfil their pinball passion. In the last year, there has been a enormous amount of time, literally thousands of hours, spent on our various sections, expanding the media section, and recently re-uploading and databasing the entire pinsimdb table archive, and all of this was done by Xenon, Nic and others as well as other staff here.

We do this because we want to, to fill a need to help others with our shared passion, and to form a common bond of our silverball addiction. There are aspects of this that sometimes can be tough, and unfair, and I have personally decided that it is unfair to myself, the other admins and staff, and to every member here to continue to spend time on this one issue, when we are better served doing what we are suppose to be doing, running this website for the betterment of all.

I suspect this issue will continue on, and we will have to handle each bit as time goes on, so unfortunately we may be forced to resrict access even more if these attacks continue.

At PN, we pride ourselves in being the most truly democratic website in the community. As noted above, we don't delete comments without preserving them, we don't ban anyone unless we really have to (instead we restrict access for a limited time, and we have a warning system in place as well now) and we accept the fact that people are different in personality, and try and work out solutions to any problems before we take action.

Once again, I am sorry to our guests for restricting your ability to use this website. To our members, I apologize if there were any problems to you personally caused by this issue. Hopefully, we will be able to restore those restricted services on a future date, and we can then all go back to doing what we love, playing, making, and talking about pinball.

He used the Shoutbox to continue his harrassment of other members.
That is why Guests are no longer allowed access to the Shoutbox.

He was banned on all of the sites because of his actions on all 3 sites.
Pinball Nirvana, VPForums, and VPUniverse have permanently banned him.

Ok, this is a project started a few years ago together with Rav, there is still a lot to do, unfortunately Rav, he doesn't have time,( after all, me too)he's too busy on other projects, maybe one day it will be completed.

Love it!
Arkanoid is one of my favorite arcade games!
Do you plan on adding any power ups?
Looks great!

 

[AnonTet]

Arkanoid for me is a love/hate relationship. I like the game (must be played with a spinner) but I never get far and I did spend some time playing it, got the spinner calibration to match the original as close as possible and I'm still bad at it :D

And now I recall Gimli's excellent work bringing a pool table to FP and also mouse trap. Totally unique stuff. Nice one.

Unfortunately, and I say this expecting to be wrong, it's just another one we won't play for a very very long time, just like Slamt1lt tables.

I said this once and I'll say it again: I just hope they don't get lost over time because it would be a shame.

Cool bat cave. I am afraid to play it though. Those torches might catch my hair on fire!

 

[Paolo]

Love it!
Arkanoid is one of my favorite arcade games!
Do you plan on adding any power ups?
Looks great!

Yes,I already have the models, the moai is the final boss


but codifying them is impossible for me,Rav, if I remember he had started, double ball, arkanoid extension, and the magnet, in fact if you see the video I already have the ball attached to arkanoid.
arkanoid shooting is the real challenge the "L"

Arkanoid for me is a love/hate relationship. I like the game (must be played with a spinner) but I never get far and I did spend some time playing it, got the spinner calibration to match the original as close as possible and I'm still bad at it :D

I also played in the cabinet version, the biggest problem for me was not the spinner (the wheel) but the speed of the ball as I leveled up, but that's another story.
here, you use the mouse for moved ark....

And now I recall Gimli's excellent work bringing a pool table to FP and also mouse trap. Totally unique stuff. Nice one.

yep....mouse trap?? maybe you mean Rat-Race which I built.....the cabinet cost me a lot of extra work.
I also remind you of this Air-Hochey

Unfortunately, and I say this expecting to be wrong, it's just another one we won't play for a very very long time, just like Slamt1lt tables.

maybe....but between me and slam, there is a lot of difference of opinion on tables,you should understand what i'm talking about.

I said this once and I'll say it again: I just hope they don't get lost over time because it would be a shame.

as above my problem is coding, and weather for now, for the rest of my tables i am waiting to talk to jon first, then now theres too much meat in the fire.
only what is lost is lost.

This means I can use the spinner on my control panel too because spinners on the pc are one direction mouse.

The end result is the same, a loss for the community.

only what is lost is lost.

I urge you to have backups then because I recently lost about 20TB of data and I thought I was secured.

 

[Paolo]

The end result is the same, a loss for the community.

remember that I have always shared my works, with the community for free, I have never asked for donations.
if you consider it a loss to the community it is your personal thought, it is not said that an author must necessarily do things and do a job for the community,
