Anyone have issues with Stanger Things and 10.7.0-185? On mine I have the grey under flips on top which causes the ball to get stuck on the rail. Thanks

Use the latest version

Ok Outhere will try that later. Thanks

It's not related to last build, I have this kind of crash occasionally since 10.6 version.

Huge achievement putting this together. Thankyou

[wiesshund]

I dont know if this is a bug, so i will just toss it here and see how it rolls

 

 

wal001.visible = False

wall001.SideVisible = False

 

the result should be a wall that can no longer be seen?

except it does not seem to do that

and walls have no static rendering option, so that would not seem to be it

 

Open new blank table
throw a wall down and put what ever image and material on it

then put in the script

wal001.visible = False
wall001.SideVisible = False

start table
wall is still clearly visible even though it is covering it's eyes saying "You cant see me"

You need to use a dinamic material for this to work. Usually with walls you simply make them drop.

When you drop a wall that is in mid air though, the wall is still there, does not vanish from view, just smashes into the bottom
but ok not a bug then. Not sure what a dynamic material is but disregard as bug

By "dynamic material" I mean a material that has the opacity set under 1 and active. 

 

And a dropped wall can be made invisible by using the flipbook property. Now when you drop a wall, the top will not be visible.

Think i will go with the active alpha, just have to be careful of textures used

flipbook might work, if i stopped making the wall redraw what it is displaying when its dropped
on the other hand, its kind of a cool visual effect

Yes, sorry, this is one of the legacy things that we dragged on over time.  :/

How do i redock the dockable windows?

[jpsalas]

How do i redock the dockable windows?

 

Use the mouse and move the window to where you want it, a set of arrows will come up and you put the mouse on top of the arrow you want. Release the left mouse button and the window will dock.

[xenonph]

wal001.visible = False
wall001.SideVisible = False

 

 

Perhaps wall is still showing because you forgot the extra L in the word "wall" in your first line?

The following routine worked for me.

 

Wall001.Isdropped=true

Wall001.collidable=false

Wall001.visible=false

Wall001.sidevisible=false

 

The material does a better job than the images. 

Although, the wall could do with an image attitude overhaul. Maybe during the 10.8 upgrade period.

So i've gotten the POV Edit launch command in 10.7 to partially work in pinballY — table launches into POV edit/camera mode just fine. I edit the POV and exit the table back to PinballY but my POV is not saved. Currently my Tables folder is not in the default location — does the table have to be in the default location in order for this to work? I checked the visual pinball tables folder to see if there was a POV file created there, and there was not. Or maybe the exit command provided by front end needs to be different in order to allow POV to save upon exit?

You either need to save the table, to save the POV in it
Or you need to click File and Export the POV i think? I am not sure that it auto exports on exit?

 

And if saving the POV to the table itself, any external POV file will override it and it will look as if you never edited the POV

The trick here is what it also says in the HUDisplay during editing: "Start Key: export POV file and quit, or Credit Key: quit without export"

I am still having issues in the latest VPX beta (192RC) where, for both OGG and MP3 type sounds (but not WAV), the random pitch option in PlaySound seems to compound. In other words, as I rapidly flip the flippers (which has a slight random pitch setting), the sound gradually gets higher and higher in pitch the more it plays. It seems instead of randomizing the pitch each time from the original sound pitch, it is adjusting the pitch from the previous time it played.

 

Is there something special I need to do to correct this, or is this an ongoing bug? Others have told me sound seems to work for them, so I'm not sure why it's happening on my end.

[toxie]

Is this with the default/builtin table or with another one? If the latter, do you have the exact repro table, please?

[breikers]

Hi guys,

 

maybe somebody already asked in this long thread. Does anybody else have issues with choppy puppack playback when using the 10.7 beta ? I get really noticeable stutter in the video's.

 

Thanks !
