Zaccaria Pinball - Combat 2017 Table Torrent Download [PC]
Viva Allor
These are very beautiful tables. Vibrant colors, multiple layers, high definition, really fun long-duration play. I think some of the earlier pinball tables were made to grab as many quarters as possible (short-play-time). Some of the newer games have much longer play. This is definitely a pack you will want for hours of fun and also to show off the capabilities of this machine!
I have every table available from Atgames so I think I can speak on the quality of these tables, especially considering I also have played the PC based tbales that work with the ALP as well. THe limiting factor in any table is the hardware that it runs on, here Atgames has provided 1080p at 60fps with toys, multiballs, voice overs, ect NOT on a PC. I'd say that's pretty impressive but what UI really like about these tables overall is the colors and play. While never gimmicky tables have way too much going on alot of these tables keep it simple and focus on the game play. Stand outs on this pack are Spooky Deluxe which looks beautiful and has alot of fun targets to hit on the cool table and back glass, Combat Deluxe which also has some cool effects and challenging upper areas. Farfalla Deluxe, its just a beautiful table with rich colors and fun theme. My favorite on this pack is probably Strike Deluxe, it has a really cool side challenge where you throw the pinball at pins. Best to pick up these tables on sale during NOD or holiday discounts
The "remakes" and other tables that are part of volumes 1-4 are top notch and very fun to play. I almost forget that I'm playing virtual pinball when I play them. Professionally built and fun to play!
However, the volume 5 "deluxe" tables are honestly pretty trash. It's almost like they were designed by an entirely different team that has no idea of how pinball actually works when you play it (which is probably the case). Fields are busy and cramped, artwork is crap compared to the older non-deluxe tables (go figure), and the physics just seem... off and weird for some reason. There's just no natural flow to them and you can feel it when you play them.
I spent $50 on a whim thinking that they might be good but let my mistake be your warning. The only deluxe table that I think I might return to is the house of diamonds table and only because it still feels like how a pinball table should feel.
It is not exactly the same, you don't need scripts or changing the settings of zaccaria to launch "into a table". The reason they stop at the play screen is so that people can still choose gametypes / modes etc as they do not have parameters to select for example "lamphunter" or "90 sec" mode etc.
But i understand what you mean, would have been nice if they supplied all those parameters
Here is the database with the game name's renamed to use what zaccaria itself expects Zaccaria.xml
I also have created an ini file for pinball fx3 launcher which you can use with zaccaria pinball options
_Launcher_app/tree/master/other_games/Zaccaria Pinball
Thanks, been busy all night allready, also created the docklet images for the latest deluxe tables (it's in the other topic) and i just finished renaming all my media to use official zaccaria (this was a pain in the ass but luckily database manager helped reduce the sheer amount of renames needed). I will upload all my files to ftp in a new folder under my user using the offcial required names
Go to your pinballx directory -> databases and under there the system where you have zaccaria
Rename the xml thats in that directory for backup (remove xml as pinballx will still use it) and copy the xml with the same name as your old xml has
This is how it looks for me now :
I have created 97 video's of the playfield of the tables for zaccaria pinball. I have uploaded them to the ftp on the following location: /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Zaccaria Pinball/Table Videos
They are created on my main pc system, using nvidia shadow play on a GTX 1070 and while recording i had zaccaria pinball setup to not show the arcade cabinet top glass as i find it looking kinda weird. (i also play like that)
thanks for the explanation carny_priest, i understand it now. Also unfortunatly i was recroding on my main pc not in a cabinet using shadow play, my cabinet has not arrived yet and it would also only have 2 screens (1 playfield 1 backglass, no dmd monitor), my main pc only has 1 screen. now i understand why the script was using obs studio (for recording multiple screens at once), unfortuantly i could not get that working at all so i reverted to modifying everything to record (the playfield) using shadowplay (i'm not sure shadowplay can record multiple screen's, never tried). Maybe someone whose got it all can record them again using synced (to playfield) backglasses / dmd. although i'm not sure much happens on the backglasses (did not check) the playfield attract mode is basic in these tables. I'm also not sure if i would use video's or some static pictures for the backglass once my cab arrives for zaccaria pinball and to be honest i have not checked in zaccaria pinball what it looks like as i did not enable 2nd screen in the cabinet options.
Since most zaccaria backglasses are static during attract mode sequence, i created screenshots of them using the same naming convention as with the playfield video's. I placed them on the ftp under /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Zaccaria Pinball/Backglass Images. There are 2 folders one with images for 1600x1200 4:3 and 1920x1080 in 16:9. I think you basically need to check what your aspect ratio is and copy those images in the correct location in your pinball x folder and pinballx will do the rest. It's a start to see something on the backglass monitor inside pinball x that resembles what the game shows ingame. The black borders are added by the game itselve, so i can't make them fullscreen without distorting the backglasses itselve.
@32assassin what do you consider full cabinet support ? dmd repositioning and backglass repositioning ? like in pinball fx3 ? I have a 2 monitor setup and it works fine with the options they have at the moment for me. i can rotate the playfield using commandline option (not ingame) and i can see the backglass and dmd on my second monitor. I'm guessing you got a 3 monitor setup and want to reposition dmd ? or you mean launching tables using commandline options ?
here are the commands to prerotate the screen using commandline
