More progress on the subject of modding the Unclewilly
FS table.
NOTE: The changes I describe below are not to be considered an official or unofficial MOD release of the Unclewilly FS table -- I am simply documenting some settings that I have changed and the effect that they have so others may make their own personal mods at their own discretion and for their own personal use.
Launch the Visual Pinball program then open the table to make the following edits.
The table will be rotated 270 degrees from the image shown in the editor.
Make one or two changes at a time and when those are set right, save and move to the next setting.
To rotate DMD:
Left side of screen, click on the "Script" icon.
Line 43 - Delete the ' at the beginning of the line and change ("rol") = 0 to ("rol") = 1
Menu - Script - Compile
It should only take a second or two to compile.
When it finishes, close the script window.
To resize and re-position the playfield:
Left side of screen, select both the "Options" and "Backdrop" icons
On the right side under "Colors & Formatting" adjust these settings
- X Scale (reduce as desired)
- Y Scale (reduce as desired)
- X Offset (probably doesn't need to change)
- Y Offset (add ~100 to the current value for starters)
To reposition the DMD, simply click, drag, and drop.
These adjustments should get you well on your way to a playable (and successful?) mod of this table.

Edit: Attached a backglass extracted from the 4:3 table and cropped. Save this (or better one if you can find it) to your HDD.
Menu - Table - Image Manager. . .
Click on Import (upper right) and navigate to where you saved the backglass.
Close the Image Manager.
With the Backdrop icon deselected so you can see the playfield outline, select the "Decal" icon.
Click a little way above the playfield to place a decal.
With the new decal selected, set Image=backglass, Width=940, and Height=950 on the right. (resize as needed)
To resize the front of the CP, select the Backdrop Icon, and click on the blue bar on the right. On the right, Image should read "cpFront". Adjust size and position as desired or delete it so you have more room.
This should cover pretty much everything you need to mod the table.
