BAM FP Pink Floyd MOD 2.3 with Animated Side Blades

[NitroNimbus]

Not certain if this has been done before, but here is an example of animated side blades.
This is only my attract mode at the moment and a test, I still have a lot more to do.
Sorry for the shitty short video, but I don't have 4k or post on youtube, cheers!

I don't even know how to change the colour! :D
Nice stuff and the music rocks too by the way.

Thats awesome! I love this table but whenever I get multi-ball it stutters and becomes unplayable, has that been fixed yet?

 

[NitroNimbus]

Table authors and modders alike..
All in this community, sharing wisdom and knowledge.
Not to mention BAM, without none of this would be even possible.

If you can read even simple people like me can also contribute a new idea.
I have been a musician for many years, stealing good idea's or a riff or two is expected.
There is nothing original here!!, but I don't believe I have seen animated side rails on any table before
so I thought I would give it ago?
Certainly not perfect yet but I do have a proof of concept, cheers!

The stutter is done on purpose to make you frustrated.
It is sort of the whole point!
Yes I have now realised people think it is a fault.
But if you hear "Thunder" the table will be shakin'.
This is a mod of Earthshaker a table that the playfield actually moved when there was an earthquake.
It is still going to happen but I have made it less often and less aggressive.
It is only activated for multi-ball so it is very easy to turn off, let me know what version you have
and I will send you a copy with it turned off, cheers!

OMG that would be amazing! All it says is PINKFLOYD (DOFLINX) Cabinet, is there somewhere I can find the version number if it has one?

 

[NitroNimbus]

No that is all I need, I am having internet issues at the moment but I will send you a link when it is done, cheers!

Hi darthwhat,
Mate very easy fix, search the script for

dim OptionShake : OptionShake = true
and change it to
dim OptionShake : OptionShake = false

This way you can turn it off or on when ever you like, cheers!

Thank you Nitro! I will give it a try! One question is there a newer version then what I have?

 

[NitroNimbus]

There is a slightly new version but it has minimal changes, best sticking with one, cheers!

@TerryRed
Mate Thank You for your PuP_Plug code.
I used the gif code for the side blades that we both know has issues.
Looks good but as expected the table didn't play very well using gifs, ball looks and act's weird.
It was always my intention to utilise your PuP_Plug code, but wanted a proof of concept first using gifs.

Your, PuP_Plug solution is brilliant!!
Dim GIF_texture
GIF_texture = PuP_Plug_Tex.GetTextureId(Awesome!!)

Ok, I have too many animations running at the same time on this table!
But using your code solves the weird gif WTF? issue, it also use's minimal resources and runs as smooth as silk.

There is only one problem and limitation with your code, and it is called Imagination!
The possibilities are endless with no/or little impact on CPU or GPU usage!
This is why it is so Brilliant!!
Thank You!, cheers!
