hi there,

BETA version of unit3d pinball will be released soon!

Here is the change log for this version

* Player

- DOF2 basic Support
- Minimal Launcher option
- Difficulty adjustments
- Per table parameters
- Mood options (ambiant and main light)
- New Physics parameters:
> Ball speed limit
> Ball drag / angular drag
> timescale / timestep / max timestep
> Gravity
> Per table physics file (no need in scripting anymore)
- Collision meshes from FPM
- File browser
- VPM restart (in progress)
- Dynamic flipper sound volume
- Carved light extrusion fixed

* Scripting API / Table design
- Whole Original table API
> Table Specific options
> Light sequencers imported from FPT
> Music system
> High scores system
> STA
> Reels
> Segments
> Blinking
> ...

- Default sound customizable/desactivable
- Solenoids behaviour can be inverted
- material.xml was not generated
- Ballstack utility function not ease designing subway
- Difficulty adjustments
- Light importance (pixel/vertex) adjustable (improve performance)
- PNG textures support

* Bugs fixed
- Cab calibration ghosting effect
- Cab calibration loading problem
- D-Pad in joysticks
- Physics parameters where not correctly loaded
- Joystick buttons swapping when multiple joysticks used
- Kickers orientation/depth now correct (harder to hit)
- Incorrect holes in playfield
- DMD missing line
- Debug shot buttons now working
- Front glass collision
- Automatic window focus
- Bllom saving problem fixed
- Powered gates problem
- Cab mode at loading
- VPM refresh rate fixed
- DirectQuit key disabled in input editor to prevent quiting while configuring
- Texture offset problem
- loading resources number fixed
- Nudge improved a little bit

And a lot more, like all table physics/graphics reviewed, new tables coming, etc...

Some new tables videos available here

Hello Louizou,
Thanks for the info. That's great news!
I wish you the best for this project.
Alex

Wow ...
after a very very long time of absence, i took a look here to GoPinball and i just see this good news.
great job guys
thanks.

some question:
1. "nVidia PhysX Engine.", does it mean, without an nVidia card, i can not use unit3d pinball?
2. using old FPT files, are there any limits - except of the long load time? can all tables be reused, FP Physics >=1.0 and FP Zedpinball Physics >=1.0?
3. is there a plan to make a linux version as well?

Where are you getting this NVidia PhysX engine statement? Did I miss another post about this?

I'm assuming it's a result of the PhysX logo on the unit3d homepage.

on the website there is written
but today my brain is working a tiny bit better
i think it is meant that nVidia PhysX is used if available, and if not, it is fully software driven, without any hardware acceleration except of that, what your CPU can accelerate with special features.

Don't worry about physx engine, even if you have an ATI card, the CPU takes the relay.

About FPT tables, we try to do our best to import most of them.

About their physics, only FP editor object's parameters are imported (materials, strength, softness, etc....)

But all physics parameters can now be tweaked in our own in game editor( physic materials object by object,or global simulation parameters lke i show you with this capture)

I'm curious and perplexed. Given the levels reached by FP + BAM + ZED and VPpm5 , it becomes difficult to make something better.
Anyway I downloaded the beta version , but there is no setup.exe. How do I install? In the tables remade there are many files. Where are loaded?
Sorry for the inconvenience and greetings
Gianfranco

hi gianfranco

At the moment, Alpha version can be downloaded, not the Beta(we hope releasing it during this month)

You just need to extract the rar file where you want and replace your current vpinmame.dll by the one we provide in the archive.

You'll find all infos needed to install it there :

Just wanted to say that the Beta version looks and plays amazing!

Favs for now are Terminator, Elvira and AFM. Hope to see more tables converted soon but WOW, this is the way to go in my opinion.
