That's what I'm talking about! And to replace the texture itself would require even less work than a photoshop.

I'm seriously thinking about sneaking this into the next beta.

Oh man please add that. Let us beta it and then we all need to stockpile gifs of people eating popcorn so we can front load the feedback thread for this version.

Even if you actually update the texture, make it so that one is there for the first week as a nice little in-joke. Both the forum page and the Facebook page would be the most entertaining thing on the net.

All seriousness though, pinball arcade is all about nostalgia and the current texture reminds me of what games were like in the early 2000s.

Okay maybe a little overkill, but I would much prefer with a dark carpet. It should also be more practical to tile as the problem with the wooden floor seems to be its NOT being tiled or at least its being stretched way beyond its normal size first.

Almost everything here looks better than the existing texture.

They used to use a Space Carpet that pretty much looks like it came from the same factory as this. But people complained and FS replaced it with the wood floor. I was never one of those that complained. I miss that carpet. I felt it perfectly captured the era when arcades were awesome.

Yeah I think I remember it, never understood why it was changed to look worse. Having a toggle like with the ball skins isn't rocket science either.

And another example:

It seems in reality people do like these sorts of carpets for their game rooms, makes no sense for TPA to be different.

But please, not this:

If I could only hack the texture in the game. http://seamless-pixels.blogspot.co.uk/p/free-seamless-fabric-textures.html

Let's use this one. it's got stars on it :D

Cross your eyes just right, like what you had to do on those old Magic Eye posters that used to dominate the mall, and you got yerself some 3D!

(and yes, I tried it for real and it does work with that image)

I was coming here to make this exact point. Getting a crappy floor texture is poetic justice.

That's like M.C. Escher does Nazi propaganda, it looks almost like a bunch of reverse, rounded Swasticas and Red Iron Crosses.

I like to suggest this image for the floor.

Add another vote for me.
