Welcome to the new Rogue!! > Site Bulletins

Good Things coming, Just you wait..

Itchigo:
I've been kind of busy with real life so things are a bit slow here. We have some things planned for you guys. One thing we're batting around is pinball crossword puzzles on the site. Another is taking old vp8 tables, redrawing them and rebuilding them. Stuff without intricate artwork that's easy to redraw, like old em's. Many of these old vp8's play just fine, so it's an easy build. These will be 4:3 and fs. Hopefully b2s when it's available.

Currently being worked on are :
The Six Million Dollar Man
Olympics (Never done in vp before- this is a Rogue Premier!!)

This is aside from these originals.:
Quicksilver
The Tomb

Pintrepid:
Well, the "week of hell" is over (1st of the quarter as well as first of the month) so maybe I can actually get in an hour or so of gameroom time. Gonna put all of the FS B2S tables on the ol' desktop and give them a test, then post about them as time permits.

I like the idea of the VP8 Tables. Some VP8s are cool, like rob's Bally Mystic. He has a new super-clean and elegant VP9 version ... but it doesn't have the "character" that his older VP8 did. Same holds true for Seawitch. UWs VP9 version is a qualitatively superior table, but kristian's VP8 Seawitch was the first VP version that I played, and the first to bring memories of the actual table I played in '81. The new VP9s are definitely superior .. but many of the VP8s continue to hold a place in my VP Virtual Game Room. Ain't no need to toss the old tables just because something new and flashy comes around.

Many other things to do with pinball, but just have to schedule the time.

Speaking of such ... drop me a PM sometime Itch ... let me know how the new job is and what your new sched is like!

Itchigo:
To make Grand Prix I did just this. Replaced the art and objects and left the code intact. As Ash has let people work on his old tables, the rest played great, and I was allowed to share. :)
PM sent. Essentially my job is the same as the old one, but for a new company. I work for a different contractor, same account. So, I can still play vp on the job. ;D  Especially working weekends when there's no boss around lol. I'm told as long as I'm caught up, I can relax. And, weekends are slower too. Today I moved 9 trailers in 12 hours. For comparison my fastest time was 14 trailers in 35 minutes.

Rukia:
Okay, okay!  Enough bragging Itch!

Just joined Itchigo, came over from vpuniverse to see what's up here and grab the b2s template hopefully.  This idea about translating undone VP8 tables might be a good place for me to get started messing with VP.  Perhaps there could be an ongoing list of VP8 tables that need to be done (unless there is one here I'm not familiar with).
