It is surely a bit early to talk about the compatibility of 10.6 tables.

But with the Medieval Madness Remaster by Skitso table, the ball disappears after launching the ball.

I don't know if it's from the table itself or if it's from vpx 10.7.

Does anyone have the same problem on this table?

is this new version of vpx could you incorporate primitives that collide in motion?

sorry in case you already said that you can't the truth I don't remember .. maybe I'm a little old and I'm beginning to forget things 

 

I cant wait till this can happen.

The new "core.vbs" does not run the VP9 tables.

 

In VP9 the Playsound commands had only AudioPan as a parameter. This can be fixed. The main problem is the version check, as VP9 seems to have no "Version" call.

I will have a look.

Hi Kiwi,

 

I found a solution that is calling PlaySound with AudioPan only, if we cannot get a valid version from the running VPinball.exe. This is working for VPX and VP9.

Unfortunately I cannot distinguish if the exception, caused by the missing "version" function, has been raised by a VP9.exe or VP8.exe.

So, if we want a core.vbs that is working with VP8, VP9 and VPX, I would have to limit the new functionality to VPX tables.

 

I think, a good solution would be to include the safe version "core_VP8.vbs" as "core.vbs" in the release and add the "core_VP9.vbs" for users that do want the sounds in VP9 and have no VP8 tables to play.

They can then just rename the files accordingly.

Hmmm.. But the version call is in since 9.2.0, so for all practical needs i would think that if the version call fails, that one is then running VP8..

Cause there is to my knowledge no reason to run a VP9 older than 9.2.0.. 9.2.0 also supported the pan, so i think everything before that should then just use the old behavior?

I just commited a fused variant of the two cores that mfuegemann posted (thanks!!), which detects the various special cases: >= 10.7 (correct table dimension used), < 10.7 (constant table dimension used), < 10.4 (VP9 mode: only pan left/right) and (implicitly) < 9.2 (VP8 mode: no directional effect whatsoever)

Indeed, the ball seems to vanish somewhere in the bumpers..  :/

Any table author here willing to find out why?

I would imagine it is related to the mesh playfield, but the geometry is sound, normals facing up, and works fine in 10.6.

Another small bug in the editor: the arrow keys doesn't work anymore to move objects. I use a lot the arrow keys, also together with shift, to move objects more precisely than using the mouse.

About Medieval Madness, yes it is the mesh. But I don't know why.

The walls in the image are there to stop the ball from falling through the cut outs? Are they still set to collideable? Are they placed below the PF (-0,02)?

[fuzzel]

rev4066 is up:

 

- fix greyed out toolbar
- fix array keys handling for moving elements
- fix behavior of new directional sound code on older VP versions (core.vbs)

I tried that trick on one table that I've already reported to Fuzzel, I created a pf mesh, had the ball fall through at the plunger, created a wall that was supposed to fix that, but, didn't work either. So, this is not 10.7 only related. I don't think I ever solved it and didn't roth talk something about ball mass related to pf meshes ? Was that fixed ?

Not sure about the ball mass, but the walls do stop the ball from falling through at least on DW, HT and MSFS. (10.6)

Does the PF mesh have a dent to center the ball in front of the plunger? If yes, you have to place the wall below the dent! Make it visible and move it down until it's below that dent (about 0.02 below)!

[Thalamus]

No. This was only a pf mesh I made to make the saucers become more realistic. I can always take a second look at it I guess. I'm quite sure I tried different heights without solving the issue.

[studlygoorite]

My SSF sounds better than it ever has, does VP 10.7 have anything to do with it? Thanks

Hi gentlemen,

The 10.7 beta is evolving really great. Congratulations!

However, I'm having a small issue: the DMDs always stay under the BS2s, and I have to manually adjust them.

Dou you know what is happening. Am I missing something?

Keep up the good work.

Greetings from Brazil.

If you go back to 10.6 final it doesn't do that

I did not try this yet. However I never had this issue using the 10.6 version or earlier.

I put a timer on a table and renamed it, however in the script is did not take the new name, it still had the original name. Also, I changed the interval from 100 to 10 and when I clicked off and back on the timer, it went back to 100. Sorry to report these bugs, but I guess thats what we are here for. The latest build.
