I proudly present the first FME-Forever W.I.P

Empire Games - Pinball Nudger.

I've been using this layout as a test of the editor. There are a few issues I need to sort. The reels need the 3D effect applying. I need to add an offset to the reel editor screen, the option to reverse the spin. At the minute these have been hard coded. But shouldn't take too long to add that in, hopefully today.

Once I have completed that layout within FME-F without having to hard code it, I will then send that issue along to layout designers. The reels have been completely reworked.

I also need to fiddle with the alpha blending options to try and get the mix a bit better so that the colours look more vibrant when lit.

But so far this is what I have created. Those of you with a gfx card capable of Anti-Aliasing are in for a treat. The source art to this is complete poo but the AA has done a sterling job of making even one of my layouts look quite pukka.

Layouts are fully scalable to most screen resolutions (16:9 and 4:3).

The idea is that once the editor is complete I can then get on with a few emu fixes and be safe in the knowledge that it won't break existing layouts, which is why I have been holding back. As soon as the editor is fine I will start releasing publicly. From there on I can add extenders, CHR's and other stuff with more regular updates.


So here's to the first of many I hope.

Guitar.

Never played this before, see it's a 2p play which is good for a change. Looks a nice clear WIP there Guitar, looking forward to the first ever FMFE layout.

:devil:

2 more screenshots.

Now with the reel squash top and bottom to give the curved illusion. At present the values are hard-coded but eventually you will be able to select values for each segment. Each viewable reel is 18 segments, each segment represents 1 half step of the motor (96 for most games).

I'm still playing with different masks, and still need to investigate the different alpha blending types, but other than that thats 1 layout down pretty much.

I really need to have a code cull soon. I have been shoving code in everywhere so I could probably shorten it down somewhat, and make it a bit more efficient.

Anyway, what do you think?

Care to enlighten us about what your talking about alth.."mods not doing thier jobs again ?"

Who is your having a dig at exactly here "Ady..Lincs...Me...Jimmymac?"

Or just all of us.

Obviously your knowledge of whats allowed to be discussed on the site and whats not is far better than ours..cos to my knowledge threads about Empire machines are allowed just not allowed to host Layouts or ROMS.

And if im wrong ill be the first to stand up and offer a public apology.

Exactly correct as per my discussion with Empire.

I did think it was a slightly risque machine to choose though.
