kruge99 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I am looking for a stripped Playfield of Stern's Galaxy (1980) to build a VP9 (angle independent) version. If anyone has a link to a good playfield image (better than the one inside the VP8 release) please let me know, I want to redraw it. Thank you. Best Regards, Todd.

unclewilly Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 martin is pretty cool, he told me i could use his textures for vp recreations just as long as i gave him the credit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawd Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Galaxy is a great table by Martin. Would love to see it on VP9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangeleo Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 This are the SPlayfield of Galaxy (M Brunker`s).... I Export some plastics.. if you want i upload too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruge99 Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Martin gave me permission to use the artwork from his FP version of Galaxy as long as I provide him with the credit. Also, the play-field in your attachment is from the 1.0 version (notice that "Collect Bonus" is spelled incorrectly). You can download version 1.10 to get the updated play-field. As soon as I get my notebook back in working order after updating to Win7 Ultimate I will continue working on Galaxy. Thanks for the suggestion!! Best Regards, Todd.

kruge99 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Hi All, I just wanted to show a bit of progress. Here is a screeny. This is my first table that I will be releasing publicly so please be gentle. "][/url] Best Regards, Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclewilly Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 looking good so far. If you want any pointers on building or coding let me know and i'll be glad to help. I also add a lot of sounds to my tables and i can help you in that area. My only suggestion would be to darken the pf and plastics and add gi lighting effects. It gives the pf more depth i think, especially on the older stern ss tables, sometimes the plastics and the pf blend together. Great start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruge99 Posted October 31, 2009 Author Share Posted October 31, 2009 Thank you for the offer UW, and I will definitely take you up on it! I am in the 90's Workshop over at VP Forums dot com and sadly there have been some real life issues interrupting the tutorials. (I'd really love to get that ID4 table finished!) So things like GI lighting and darkening the playfield are things I need to find out how to do. I'm using the GIMP because I can't afford Photoshop and I hope I can pull off some of the things you mentioned using it. Best Regards, Todd.

kruge99 Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Here is WIP screeny for everyone: Yes, it looks kind of like the VP8 version, but just put that down to my n00bness! The table is fully working with the script coded from the VP8 version which seems to work flawlessly with only a few minor tweaks I hope UW can spare some time away from CFTBL to give me some pointers how to darken the playfield and create the GI lighting. Best Regards, Todd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclewilly Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I can definately do that. What are you actually looking for, like a step by step of how to do the lighting in photoshop, or how to actually add it to the table. Also are you using the fading light system or just on/off states? I was thinking of doing one of these sterns from Martin B, maybe meteor. The sterns don't have gi strings so you kind of have to simulate it with timers, but it is not to difficult. It is what i used on the simpsons pinball party and gorgar. It may have a solenoid controlling the gi, i would have to check out the manual. Pm me what you are looking for and i'll help you out. I do have a few projects going right now, but i can make the time. Hit me with a pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruge99 Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 I did post this screeny a few days ago at VPForums and in my anxiety of learning GI Lighting from UW I forgot to update the post here. doh!! I am having trouble with the table Light that swaps out the dark playfield image with the GI Lit playfield. As soon as unclewilly gets back to me with the fix I'll start working on converting the table to 16x9 fullscreen mode. Once both the 4x3 and 16x9FS are ready I'll upload them and post the links.

kruge99 Posted November 8, 2009 Author Share Posted November 8, 2009 I don't know the 'rules' behind posting a table release here so I'll just let folks know that I've uploaded my table in 16x9 FS mode to vp forums dot org. I don't use Hyperpin myself (yet) as I don't have a cabinet built, but I do have a monitor stand and rotate my 22" widescreen to be able to play 16x9 FS tables. I will be updating the download with a new version in a few days with fixes for bugs etc. Here is the link to the current release. Galaxy - Stern - 1980 Best Regards, Todd.

One of my favorites from FP, now with better physics. I changed the slope on the table to 6, and it seems a little bit better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruge99 Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 On the next release, I'll probably set the slope to 7 (as was recommended by another vp forums member) and the plunger release speed to 140, which seems to be a better release speed witht he slope at 7... but, I'll be testing this more and waiting for more comments before making a final decision.

BananaBoat Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 Sorry to dig up an old thread, but does the image of the playfield still exist? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
