Same wire, same lighting in both tables and the wire's look different.. Why?

 

I would think they should look the same as per your explanation on lighting and materials... Or am I wrong?

thats indeed weird! if you want, PM me the two tables and i'll look into it..

[toxie]

btw: JPs newly released tables are also a nice reference, i think.

Hi everybody !
I habe a strange behavior with all VP10 Tables... when hitting left flipper it works fine...but also adds coins...
I'm using the latest beta with .dll and .vbs and vpinmame.dll somewhre here form the thread...
I checked key-settings twice and eved disabled the gamepad-button for adding credits..same behavior..
I thought I read someting about editing core.vbs a while ago, but could not find it again.
VP9.9 an Physmod5 in the same dir works fine....
Any Ideas ?
 
See Ya....Jas

Edit:
OK,I got it !
I don't know why,but my left flipper was mapped to the gamepad and to key 3..which obviously adds credits...interesting that pressing the gamepad-buttons also returns the keyboard key which is mapped to it...anyway, now all is working fine !

see ya....Jas

rev1862 is up :

 

- add fullscreen layout guideline
- fullscreen backdrop settings improved for default table
- fix kicker cup vanish if FOV is higher than 45°
- show build number in about dialog
- support added to render grouped primitives with one render call. This only works if non animated primitives which use the same material and texture are in a grouped collection.

It might be my imagination, but the table seem to look better overall. Shading wise I think.

 

I skipped the last build because you mentioned a change to the rendering of lights, and I think my table has about every type and setup.

 

These lights had no image or bulb. I fixed these by changing them to having a bulb, but nothing could get them back without a bulb (surface, image, etc).

 

I have no problem with this. I have been waffling on them whether to use a bulb or not. I'm just reporting this in case you have a problem with it.

 

They are 42 lights that make up the segments of 6 digits.

pacman maze is't working for me anymore, or did you change anything?

[Shockman]

Oh, I don't know, I might have. I am always changing things. I have moved on from the last wip I put up, but it worked with the contemporary VP beta.

I'll check,but the version I'm working on now works with the current VP beta, as far as the maze lights

 

 I don't work on it anymore, It's more a matter of checking if it still works when I replace VP beta with a new one. I think I will wait for VP release and see what issues remain and make it work then, if I can do so without permanent issues.

 

I will try to keep the table working, though, every few VP updates, especially if it means making it better.

Will this break drop target collections? seems to have for my dof table

[fuzzel]

yes I think this is the case. If you put prime into a grouped collection and animate them through the script you will get strange results. The main intention for the grouped collection is to optimize performance for transparent non animated elements. To fix this uncheck the group flag for the collection and it should work as before.

[randr]

Yeah that fixed issue. Remember I barely understand vp so thanks for the direction on this

[arngrim]

i couldn't enjoy vpx yet on my cab, the tables i tested, ball is way too fast, and when it enters the plunger, ball is kicked automatically.
i thought the table was the problem, but same table on a laptop and i don't have that.
i have a freescale on my cab, i think this cause the problem, is this a known issue?

[fuzzel]

I can't tell. I don't have a freescale but I doubt that this is a problem especially if the ball gets kicked if it enters the plunger. Do you have a test table with this behavior or does it happen on every table?

[arngrim]

that's ok, i forgot how to setup vp with it, like disable plunger axis when it's not used, or redefine x and y gain, it's all good now

[fuzzel]

ah good to know

it seems you have a broken vpinmame setup. Papa Smurf and Toledo are pure VP tables the other tables needs the firmware rom of the real pinball.

ok

after reinstallation vpinmame 2.5 , work perfectly.

 

thx

I found something funny with primitives...

When I import a primitive obj file directly into VP10 it created some lag on the table I'm working on. So I investegated more and unchecked collidable witch helped but still noticed some lag and or stutter. So being they are crossing metal ramps I lowered one of the ramps so they almost touched both set at un collidable and sure enough the ball stopped as if it was hitting the other ramp. Something is not working right when checking un collidable in VP10 with primitives..

To investegate further I imported my object files into VP9 made sure they were checked un collidable in a dummy table. I then opened the dummy table in VP10 copy/pasted into my table, set the ramps up again so they touched and the ball went though them like they weren't there.. Also, all lag/stutter is gone now..

[sliderpoint]

Is there a variable for the "disable Lighting"  on the primitive object?

 

Thanks
