Same problem here. No integrated playfield DMD.

 

VPX rev 2547, newest "other" pinmame, DOF works, no luck on both cv_20h and cv_20hc. Messed a bit in Preferences/Video Options, renamed HKCU\Software\Freeware\Visual PinMame\cv_20hc. Auto Eddy Boards is set to no.

Maybe a graphics driver problem? I have a NVidia GeForce GTX 660 with driver v353.82

 

*At least while searching I found something I overlooked all the time in the NVidia settings - "Adjust Desktop Color Settings". My DMD screen looks much brighter after messing a bit with the red color channel

   As per post 171, there is a place in the script where you add the flipper sounds. i looke through the script several times and didn't find it. Can someone tell me what line that's on? Thanks

 

[BobAlbright]

Thanks for your reply HF. I was looking for wording in the script

like "flipper sounds" or something like that. Wasn't expecting a table being released with default DOF

That's weird - are you sure you have Const IntegratedDMDType = set to 1 or 2?

Btw, many thanks for the ringmaster sounds Dozer

By the way: it can happen that the ball get stuck on the rubber on the end of wall9. I just moved the low end of wall9 a little bit up and the problem went away...

 

Edit: Sorry, was my own fault. The real problem is that I made the ball a little bit larger and wall5 has bottom height 50, raised it to 53 in my version. Only happened because there was no wall5 in the last version. Sorry again. I still think that the standard size 50 of the ball is a little bit too small, 52 looks more natural in most tables.

 

I noticed that there are a lot of walls around the posts which would be not necessary when the rubbers are collideable. No harm done, I think this is a relict from VP9 as there were not rubbers back then. Maybe when I have some time I could changed that on the table...

Hi,

 

first of all, great Table! Many thx for your fantastic work. I have a little question: Does the Backglasanimation only work with the backglas from the table archiv? I use normaly the one from bassgeige (with other table versions there are animations). Btw the color DMD is not original (it's a PinMame feature)..or is it?

 

Greetings

[arngrim]

you can run another backglass but you won't have animation or lightning, pinmame doesn't communicate with vpinmame events that are used for other backglasses

Yup. I tried both of them and fiddled around with the color settings too. With IntegratedDMDType != 0 the Pinmame-DMD gets set to hidden, it doesn't do anything else on my system. I think I'll try different graphics drivers next

I was not able to play the new version yet myself. After I read about the used method I asked Dozer about the features. I also asked him to use these features for the versions you mentioned. I will try to use the feature for the day version first. The other versions are from how I understand Dozers answers also not completely unusable. You are not able to use the new integrated DMD and need to disable it. Dozer did not mention if you can disable it or if a new table version is needed for this step. Maybe it is visible in the script. The normal dB2S versions all use the native ROM output to work. This means that outputs which are not present in the integrated DMD version are also not restorable and you need the native ROM output. Please try to disable the integrated CV DMD as a first fix.

[andyco40]

got it working now.

[Umpa]

got it working now.

What did you do to get it working?

[DDH69]

This table has come along beautifully, a credit to all involved.

 

I now have the latest version and the included backglass but I can no longer get DOF to work and I'm not sure why.  B2SOn=1 and DOFs=True

[arngrim]

you grabbed the latest ini?

[boiydiego]

for some reason after running this version all my dmds are gone in vpx and vp9 on all other tables , installed last 2.7 vpinmame from other site are there more people with this problem ?

it tryed to put my registry settings back put also that doesnt bring the dmds back ..

Dozer:

Because of some strange behavior of the ball I revised the table and removed all walls under rubbers as because of the new VPX rubber elements the collideable walls are not needed anymore (except slings). The walls were from height 0 to 50 which caused some friction problems. I made all rubbers collideable as intended and moved them to the right height. Note: the height of the rubbers should be the middle of the ball, so if the ball is 52 the rubbers should be 26 (one unit more or less is not that problematic) - otherwise it could be possible that the ball sticks to the rubber. I also corrected some rubber shapes as they were not exact enough, corrected some rubbers on posts (the ones on the outlanes with two rubbers on them and some others) and some other small things. At the posts on the skill shot there is one bigger rubber ring between the lower two posts not two separate ones (as far as I walked through some teardown galleries). And corrected some heights of the metal posts to have a better visual effect with the rubbers on them.

You can use my corrections if you want - it's just a suggestion of improvement.

By the way - what I always wanted to ask: On the original table GI and some inserts pulse. Just watch the PAPA video over at youtube. Can this be simulated?

[Totaltimo]

I've got the same problem. The only thing that works is the static picture on the DMD (which isn't that bad because of my PinDMD3  ). But I am really interested in how it could look like. My graphics card is a nvidia gtx960 with driver version 364.72. I won't believe that the driver is the reason. Must be something else.

BTW, of course I activated the DMD window in the PinMame settings (which is normally set to off because of my real DMD).

[Carny_Priest]

You need to set Hidden to zero in the table script if you want to use both VPM/realDMD and integrated DMD

I made some rubber primitives with invisible walls built-in, inspired by this table. I made them from scratch so they may or may not swap out easily with the existing ones.
