Talking about physics issues..

I've been playing with Gemini this week-end, and tried to import the physics set from Tommy VPX.

 

Here is the results.

 

After that, I've tried Gemini once more with its original physics and could not reproduce the issue.

With VPX, I've found always found that the ball was reacting a bit weird when rolling next to wires (accelerating or slowing down too fast), and this video can maybe help to understand the problem... I have no idea if this is caused by my nudge device, or by a deeper problem with VPX, but I thought I should share and ask for your opinions.

 

I had not seen that on Gemini although that is similiar to the problem I've had occasionally on Space Walk.  The wire the is a primitive and generally I set those to toy and put a not-visible wall there to be the actual wall.  I just looked at that one and at least on the version I have on my computer which should be the last one I uploaded I evidently forgot to switch the primitive to toy so having both it and the wall have active physics may be causing that particular issue.

 

Which I guess brings up a question of is that the best way for me to set those up?  I know I could also simulate it pretty close using a wire ramp, just cant get the tight vertical bend in the wire.  Or would just having the primitive be OK, though I believe I've read having them have active physics causes lots of calculations.

 

Edit: Just checked all my wire primitives on that table and that was the only one I missed (must check other tables).  Changed that one, and re-uploaded the file, same link https://dl.dropboxus...tlieb 1977).zip

Thanks for the feedback Borgdog, I'll change the primitive to toy and report if it happens again.

complete code rebuild,  not sure if everything is up to VPX standards but everything seems to work.

I get an error on line 495 and 503. Something about that end of instruction is missing.

 

 

add this line

 

SetLocale (1033)

 

Thanx gigalula......now it works!

i apologize if this has been covered somewhere, i tried to do some searches for it in the forum but have not found anything. i finally installed VPX the other day and decided to start testing some tables in my cab, i have only tried a half dozen or so, some have worked fine but some have not, i get the same error in a couple of them...

 

"Line 1 - Object doesn't support this property or method: 'aFlip1.Speed'"

 

Two of the tables i know does this is Judge Dredd and Evel Knievel. I installed the latest version of VPX and also re-downloaded the VBS Scripts for the table dir and made sure everything was unblocked, i am sharing my ROM directory with VP9 but everything else is separate from VP9.

 

any help would be appreciated,

[Kaan]

I think you are using vp9 tables with vpx, that doesn't work. You need to use vpx tables only.

[cjoli]

these are the VPX tables i have downloaded from this thread.

[freneticamnesic]

You did not install the vbs files included with the VP10 beta release, you must install these otherwise you get the aFlip stuff you mentioned

[Outhere]

Downloaded the VP10 and unzipped it and copied the 9 files into the visual pinball folder and than put the script (53 VBS) files into the scripts or tables folder depending on which one you use?

JP's great explanation

Ah, i see the error of my ways, thank you guys, i don't know why i didn't notice the VB.zip!

I had the same problem on the same side, and resolved to push tilt. Ball went on. just happened to me in this table

Found a show stopper in the last v3 update  -  a vital ramp was marked non collidable for some weird reason and a wall prevented a ball

from passing by the air raid ramp.

 

This should be the last update for the foreseeable future - Version 4.

Just wanted to announce that my buddy ICPjuggla and myself are working on a new VP10 table. The table itself is almost complete, so we thought it's about time to show you a little teaser

 

It's Robocop from DataEast! This table truly deserved some love, so we rebuilt it from scratch, every single piece of art redrawn with love We tried to focus on quality and and make the table as close to the real one as possible. 

 

There's no WIP table yet as we still have to script the table, we hope that a well known, awesome table builder joins us for this task.

Just got the word that Dozer316 joins us and scripts the table! Awesome!

 

Also the ED-209 3D Model and the primitiv ramps are still missing, but we already contacted a renowned, fabulous 3D artist and asked him to lend us a helping hand. 

 

Edit: Used a different image uploader which allows uncompressed images.

HOLY ULTRA CLEAN build batman!!..... thats what i'm talkin' about!!

Your Robocop looks beautiful

Gemini Link is dead.   RoboCop looks so sharp and was a table that was indeed needing an update, thanks

Thanks that's one of the table I was hoping to see a face lift

I thought i would update the DeadWorld disc with a new graphic... this was the outcome, I wish I would get a bit more transparency... the background only is only 10% opaque... the close up is just the PF thrown behind the texture..... Dozer if you're interested in this let me know....
