Lord of the Rings

Hey JP what you are doing together with Groni is amazing. Take you time it's better for the release. So you don't release an table with many bugs are not finished !!

So take your time i'm waiting on the release !!!!!!

Succes,

I can't believe just how you guys have reinvented visual pinball with these amazing recreations. They are honestly too good for us fans out here. Do we really deserve it? I love the way you guys have been tweaking to perfection all of the previous JP tables until you get them looking and playing right. I wondered how you get the animations of the moving parts to work. Do you take photos of the original hardware and then play about with them, or are they designed from scratch? Whatever you do it looks impressive to say the least.

LOTR has needed an update as I feel it never played well, you just could not control the flippers well at all. Should be great.

Thank you guys for making PC Pinball as it should be.

Ok Guys

Today is Release Date!

I think at about 6 PM it will be online at our Home.

So prepare yourself

Hi Groni, good news on a Sunday morning and thanks to you and JP for spending your time to make all of us happy , for free !

Greetings!

Mucho gracias what an news on the sunday morning !!

Ok. i hope you are all ready

At Six o Clock this Baby is online

For the first time a new Option will be available on the JPG-PINS Site.

TABLESETS. This is an installer, that installs the Table with the Rom.

Lucky me! I´ll get it at Three o Clock!

I live in Brasil!

hehe

So maybe we should live in Brasil Then we always have it 3 Hours befor LOL

~1 hour left to wait, looking forward to it

Ok, some facts about the new Release, and things you should know about
LOTR 2.0

The complete Table is redone from Scratch.
I builded almost every Graphic, and took shots for the Table from the real one.
JP builded the Table and the Script.
Great Balrog Animation by JP

So one thing you need to know about the Balrog.
It looks awesome, it glows, it rotates......BUT
Visual Pinball have an really ugly Bug. Balls are always shown in front of an Reel.
In case that this Balrog is based on Reels, the Ball roll over these Reelparts.
Normally you can add Walls, to hide the Ball behind it. But in this case it was not Possible, cause it´s a moving object. Means if you add a wall behind the Balrog, then the wall stays where it is when the Balrog moves. So you have to live with the fact that the Ball rolls in front of the Balrog on some parts. For example on the Arms when the ball is coming out of the Ringmagnet and the Balrog is in the OFF Position.

Then we added a Multilanguage support.
By pressing F6 you can choose your Language. Needs a Restart to take effect.

By pressing "R" you can view the Rulecard, which shows up in the Language you choose from the Options.

Also there is a English and a German Apron. with Rule and Coincards on it.

You can choose it from the IMAGE EDITOR in VP. Standard is English Apron

What is more to say?? It plays like a Dream, i adjusted the Physics, and all Parts of the playfield are very nice reachable.
Jp has done a perfect Job on the Flashers and on the Balrog Lightning. They flash and glow very very nice!

So we hope you will enjoy another JPG-PIN and have much fun with it!

Jp & Groni .. I must say .. this beautiful table from scratch went straight into 'my favorites' list (strangely enough, it wasn't before!)!

Awesome graphics, awesome play!

Amazing multiball (didn't even have to switch off the 'Direct Draw! No stuggering!).

First play I even got myself a new personal highscore (I know upfront you guys are gonna kill me off with your highscores!).

Fantastic you even got the option to get multiple 'Extra Balls' during the play of one and the same ball => I didn't know before!

All in all: a FANTASTIC re-do of this table by both of you!!
I will have hours of FUN in playing it ..

'The average adult can usually enjoy something only if
it relates to what he knows already, and what he knows
about VP is in many cases pitifully inadequate.'

In other words: the mentioned bug in VP => I can live with it!



ps. can't wait for the re-do of 'Champion Pub'
