[cry me a river]

I am running Visual Pinball (9.0.7) on a standard desktop with a 1600x1200 non-widescreen Dell monitor that can be physically rotated to portrait orientation (the long edge is vertical). This should be a natural for Full Screen tables. However, if you run full screen tables "out of the box" the tables will have the wrong aspect ratio. This results in a table that is stretched horizontally and looks "fat".

This post will tell you how to fix that - In figuring out how to do this, I found a number of posts already on the forums with bits and pieces of information but nothing all in one place. This post will hopefully consolidate all this information together. I will also include the parameters I am using in my setup which may be applicable for many others so you don't have to fiddle with the settings. IMO, most of these look pretty spectacular once you have them setup at the correct aspect ratio.


The first thing we are going to do is fix the aspect ratio of the table and reposition the table. This will result in either that table being centered with two black bars on either side of the table (like watching a widescreen movie on a regular television) or shifted all the way over to the left or right edge of the screen. I have generally opted for the least amount of work. In the case of CFTBL the plunger winds up positioned at the far right of the screen so I have shifted the whole table over. With CFTBL there is room at the top of the playfield to place the DMD. On other tables it will be convenient to place the DMD in the blank area of the screen, similar to the screenshots of spanned tables. I have been downscaling my tables by 75% horizontally and I think they look very good., YMMV.


Load up the table you want to fix, in this case I'll work through CFTBL.UW.V1.1.vpt:

Now, click on the Options and Backdrop buttons:



This will bring up the Backdrop Options which we can change to our specifications:



We have just fixed the aspect ratio and repositioned the table. The table is now playable, however we should also fix the Dot Matrix Display (DMD). You will need to rotate, resize and reposition it. We will do this by inserting commands into the script telling the script how to alter the DMD. We do this with the following commands:

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("ror")=0
Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("rol")=1
Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_pos_x")=0
Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_pos_y")=175
Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_width")=75
Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("dmd_height")=300

The values the the right of the equal signs may vary by table and by display resolution. The first two lines tell the display to rotate. The next two lines (dmd_pos_x and dmd_pos_y) tell where to position the DMD. The last two lines (dmd_width and dmd_height) determine the scaling of the DMD.


To make these changes, you need to edit the script. Click the Script Icon:




This will open up the Script Window:




Scroll down the Script window until you find the '*****Table Init (Line 49 of the CFTBL table)




Now we will cut and paste the above command lines into the script:




You have now fixed the DMD for portrait mode. Most other tables follow pretty much the same format, however, I have included some notes below for some of the exceptions. Try to maintain the indenting when you edit the Scripts.

Your table should now be ready to play in the correct aspect ratio. I have included parameters for all the full screen tables I have used. If you use other tables or other screen resolutions you will likely need to make your own changes. Just record the original values before you alter them so you can go back if you make a big mistake.

After you are sure you have things the way you want them, you will need to save the table. Either overwrite the old file or create a new one with a name to reflect your changes.


Here are parameters for a bunch of full screen tables, I have only done a handful of tables, I'll bump this thread later when I've done more:

(Note: Some of these won't run for me in 1600x1200 which is why I have included notes on resolution. You may have to alter the values, especially positioning and scaling the DMD for other resolutions)

Just record the original values before you alter them so you can go back if you make a big mistake.

Best thing to do that (not only in this matter, but for all table script changes) is to add comment lines to the table script where you save the original script line and make a description.
Comment lines are started with a ' and are displayed in green as you can see in the above screenshots.

Very Great Post !

I tried a lot of Tables on my new 50 Inches Plasma Screen and 70 % of the tables did have a rotated Dot Matrix Display.....

Why is this a problem to add a command line in front for rotating this display ?!

This Post helps me a lot but i need more Help in this Problem !!!

What about Tables like

STERN - The Simpsons Pinball Party - MEGAPIN_V1.1FSNM.vpt

A really big Script nothing to find for me....

and this Table same Problem

FS_No_Good_gofers_V1.1

Think i will post more.

Thanks a lot for helping me

Or I could have saved them under a different filename so I won't have to undo everything if I ever replace my monitor with a widescreen.

Oh well...

IMO I think what would eventually be ideal would be if table layout was standardized for all formats and if Visual Pinball would allow you to select through any of the modes:

Desktop
Spanned Full Screen Widescreen
Spanned Full Screen Standard
Full Screen Widescreen
Full Screen Standard

Anyway, as to your problem... I've found that Visual Pinball remembers the DMD settings between tables if they are not changed. So if you have a table where you can't figure out how to edit the script, try loading up and running a table that positions the DMD in about the same place. Then exit that table and reload the problem table.

This means that you can't exit Visual Pinball, however, so this fix may not work with any front ends.

[cry me a river]

Since this seems to have been of interest and useful to some (more than 500 views of this thread) I'm going to post all my Widescreen to Standard mod parameters below.

BTW, there's no reason you can't also do Spanned tables and I've done at least one such conversion (Joker Poker) however since the vast majority of spanned tables already have full screen version this often isn't necessary. However, the tables I've converted are obviously a matter of personal preference so if there's a table you like that happens to be Spanned I wouldn't let that stop you from trying it out.

Some tables don't work due to scaling issues (ie; stationary or pre-rendered objects). I've tried to include notes wherever I've run into problems.

Note that when modifying the script you will want to preserve any indenting. The forum posting software doesn't support indenting particularly well so this is list below.

that's a helluva post ya' got there pard' um but I thought all the ones already made for 4:3 were being converted INTO FS! why go backwards if the pin already exists in 4:3

Because I want my tables flat, not 3/4 view.

I want this:



Not this:



Running an unmodified FS table on a standard display looks like this:

[cry me a river]

I should probably included the modified table too:





(Trust me, it looks a lot better)

[texacala]

I've been doing the same thing actually with a Viewsonic monitor turned on its side. This has been a very helpful post, thanks.

[Bob5453]

@Cry me a river,

Well, I checked this out and I will give you an example of what I found. As I mentioned in another thread, for a 4x3 monitor, if you want a round ball, then the xScale and yScale must remain the same. You can stretch the table with the other numbers, I also like to see some perspective, but play with those numbers.

The following is a screenshot of JP's Dolly table rotated for a rotated 4x3 monitor, I like the view and the flippers, the flippers can be made to have a birdseye view all the way to a sideways view by playing with the numbers. Obviously, you can like or prefer any setup, that's the beauty of VP, this is just an option to try, maybe you'll like it better.

Ah, okay, thanks Bob, I think I understand what you're saying now.

I believe we're essentially looking for the same thing - corrected aspect ratios - though if you're mostly working with widescreen we're obviously going to be on a slightly different page. When I started modifying these tables I simply recalculated the Y Scale as that seemed to be the direct approach. However, I suppose it's a bit of a brute force or sledgehammer solution.

BTW, here are our two mods side by side, yours on the left mine on the right. Your ball is definitely rounder, however mine doesn't need to change the inclination and field of view.

This isn't over

[Bob5453]

Nice comparison. Notice your bumpers are oblong also. Everything will be a little oval shaped on your table because the non-matching X&Yscale numbers. The upside is you can see a little more under your bumpers, your table looks a little better at the top even though I don't like the oval shape of the objects, but that flipper area is too out of whack for me. If you've ever played with silly putty and pressed it on a comic book or newspaper and then stretched it, this is what you're doing and believe it or not, I'm not doing that.... I'm actually scaling the table in its correct proportions and adjusting the Inclination and Field of View. At least that's what I think I'm doing.

[cry me a river]

Turns out I'm really just looking for some nice configurations for 4:3 portrait mode because I'm really liking something like this even though it's closer to traditional desktop than true FS....

[Bob5453]

Now you might want to add a cabinet and rails to some tables displayed in this manner. This can be done with ramps on the tables or graphics on the backdrop.

There is a big difference in laying your monitor flat on a table and playing FS tables, compared to just turning your monitor to play FS tables.

...I hit my head and was knocked unconscious...and when I came to, the idea just popped in my head...



Well, I didn't really hit my head and get knocked unconscious, but the idea popped in there just the same.

This is the 16-9 Banzai Run "SPANNED" table (for VP9) maintained by Destruk. I changed the backdrop setting and just played my first game ever on my notebook, with only a single widescreen monitor.

Thanks Bob! I wouldn't have had the idea to do this if you hadn't started messing around with the scale settings.


Best Regards,
Todd.

Have a look at this:

I think something very interesting has been happening recently;

VP is becoming FLEXIBLE!

[kruge99]

After tooling around with Banzai Run, I had an inspiration to get a lower, "Kids Eye" view of pinball and this is what I came up with, on the "widescreen" version I have made up for playing High Speed on my notebook. It looks kind of weird at first, but when playing a table with these settings, it really gives me the feeling I'm standing at a big pinball machine instead of playing a virtual one.



I'm going to try this with a few other tables tonight, like Blackout, Firepower, and Alien Poker to see what the effect is.


Best Regards,
Todd.

You can do whatever you want with VP.... The problem is, there are only about 100 do'ers, but there's 20,000 want'ers.

I really like the screenshots with the backdrop info, it makes it very easy for people to try these tables and learn to make a few adjustments on their own.

Jp's angle independent tables are fantastic for playing with these settings. It's so easy even a Sabbat Moon could do it.

[kruge99]

Here's a couple more 16x9 "Kid's Eye view" settings for people to experiment with:

Black Knight:


FirePower: (note, move the emreel for the plunger off to the side if you wish)


Playing at this perspective is actually quite refreshing for me personally, because now I feel I want to get up and take a walk down the side of the table so I can see what that far back of the table looks like.

Todd.
