Download Mystery Science Theater 3000 Pinball Peril 2.0

I'm also getting a run time error stating "Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Controller.ROMName'".  I have polar.zip and even redownloaded it fresh.  I cleared out the nvram as well.  This did not occur on version 1 of the table but now it is happening for both.  I am running VPX 10.7.2 newly, which is the only external element thats different.  Thoughts?

 

 

Hi whats up I'm getting this error 

"Runtime error

-------------

Line: 1

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Controller.ROMName'

""

 

Getting the same error all of a sudden, the old version was working until recently, but now even that gives me an error. I re-downloaded the rom, tried it with an older version of VPX, cleared NVRAM stuff, but error remains. Anyone work out how to fix this?

 

Haven’t seen this error in either of the versions. I’ll look into, but difficult to repro.

I did upgrade to vpinmame 3.5 recently, it hasn't caused any issues with other tables, so that might be related. Don't think I've changed too much else, other than upgrading VPX to the new release too, but I tried the older .exe and it gives the same error. 

ok -I think I fixed it -- No idea if it is correct, but seems to work for me.
 
replace in screens.pup the following.  This got the slideshow to appear on my 3rd screen.
1,DMD,,,0,show,,
with
1,DMD,BKG,"SOL_Starfield.mp4",0,ForceBack,,"5,0,0,100,100"

I'm also getting the Controller.ROMName error with this version. Previous version worked fine. Updated to 10.7.2 and PinMAME 3.5 recently as well.

Ok, so I don't really know what I'm doing, but I found a workaround for now. Please use at your own risk!  

1. Make a backup of your core.vbs file in VisualPinball\Scripts

2. Edited core.vbs, search for "controller.gamename" and remove this entire block: 
 

	If Controller.Version >= 03050000 Then
		rom = controller.ROMName
	Else
		rom = controller.GameName
	End If

3. Add a line in the same location that just says this: 

rom = controller.GameName

4. Save core.vbs and run VPX as normal, it should now load the table without issue. 
 

I tested this with a couple of other tables on my system and everything still seems to work. 

So I didn't go that route, but since I recently had some issues with B2S server 1.4, and backed it down to the previous release, I recognized the NVOffset command in the script. Since that function is tied to the latest B2S release, I just commented the line out (87).

That got past the controller.ROMName error.

What it did though, was open two backglasses, one over the other.

I'm also now in the same boat as others with PUP not working. I'll have to look into that.

My guess is I'll have to go back and figure out if I can get the issues I was having with the B2S 1.4 resolved, then tackle the PUP for this one.

For those with pup issues, here is what I did to fix this. You can create custom pup layouts per pup pack by making a backup copy of your PinUpPlayer.ini file, then creating a new one, copy it into your specific pup pack folder, and replace the original PinUpPlayer.ini. Here are more detailed steps: 

1. Make a backup of your PinUpPlayer.ini file in vPinball\PinUPSystem (This is important, since we need it at step 6 below) - this file saves your display configuration/locations. 

2. Open the Pup pack editor and load the Polar pup pack (not sure you really need to load the pup pack, as we are just changing the default screen locations). Click Displays/Locations to edit your screen layout...

3. Set the DMD option to be on your DMD or where you want it, note that this isn't the FullDMD, but just the regular DMD. There is also a topper in the pup pack, but I don't have a display for that. The pup pack uses the regular DMD display location to show videos etc.

4. Close out of everything (no need to save the pup pack, since we didn't actually change that), the display locations should save automatically.

5. Copy the newly updated PinUpPlayer.ini from vPinball\PinUPSystem to vPinball\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\Polar 

6. Copy your backup vPinball\PinUPSystem from step 1 back into the vPinball\PinUPSystem folder (to ensure this change doesn't mess with your other pup pack locations).

Now you have a custom screen configuration layout for the Polar pup videos (Mystery Science Theater pup pack), which will load when you load the table and hopefully fix your issues. 

VERY COOL table thank you for your time and for sharing it, its fantastic!

Those with the ControllerRom name error just update your b2s server to 1.4 and you will be fine.  JP Salas has a couple tables that require this update as well.
