I'd say just do away with the button bar for layers I don't use it but that's me.  I try to keep things organised but not matter how much I split elements up, by the time I'm done working on a table every layer practically is cluttered.

I don't know if it's been addressed, but I still have a lot of issues not being able to turn off the group elements together in the collections manager.  turn off the checkmark but it just turns it back on when I close the window.

Same.

[fuzzel]

That is really strange as I can't reproduce this issues...

[BorgDog]

It does it for me on the example table.  The GI collection for example I can't turn it off.  If I make a new collection then it is created with out it checked (I have group by default turned off), and then I can't turn it on.

Would it be possible for the coordinates of control points (walls, flashers, etc.) to update as you place them? Right now if I click a control point and move it the coordinates listed in Position do not change when I drop it. I have to click to another object, then back to that control point before I can see what the new coordinates are.

a knowby question.... I wan't to update but I'm a bit scared   because I got everything working now.

 

• if I do an update will older vpx tables still work or are their ones that need to be updated
• do i have to the trick with the stern tables again or is that only with a pinmame update
• Do I forget something that I should consider before updating

any suggestions?

It's working good for me.

For me there is no noticable changes in gameplay, every table works fine. You can always make a backup and go back to previous version.

I always get the newest versions and copy them over the old ones. Till now I don't find a table, which doesn't work.

ok i'll give it a try. can't wait to try the new qbert

Would it make sense to implement something like what nFozzy did for the instruction card on STLE ? Some might have missed it - pressing 'R' and you get a zoomed in view.

I think that JPSalas did something like that in some of his VP9 tables to bring up instructions (maybe not the cards but something similar to that)

Yes, Groni and me did that by using a simple ramp with an image with the rules. Pressing R made that ramp visible. Very easy to add. In VPX we could use a flasher object.

idea proposal:  no idea how to do it, but how about mouse control for plungers?  Like the enable mechanical control for cabs, but enable mouse control for DT use?

[gtxjoe]

Can you make mouse cursor position available via a VP command?  This would allow us to script a manual ball control test routine to test out tables

 

Script would be something like: 

 

BallControl.Interval = 50

BallControl.Enabled = True

 

Sub BallControl_Timer

    ActiveBall.x = MouseCursor.x

    ActiveBall.y = MouseCursor.y

End Sub

 

Or maybe this could be incorporated into VP...

[sliderpoint]

For the plunger I would think: click, drag, let go.

 

For Joe's idea: middle click to enable during debug and maybe add scrollwheel to adjust Activeball.Z

 

-Mike

 

edit: I guess middle click is already drop ball from height.

ref. http://vpinball.com/...mod/#post-63487 where Carny says.

 

"I also did the French version thanks to a reference photo included with Stat’s PS source, if you want to provide that as a selectable option. I’ll do any other languages also as long as I can get a reference photo to get the text and layout correct."

 

This shouldn't need to be that difficult. You see very few support questions about how to change the ball nowadays. Maybe it is because people are actually using search a bit more. But, I tend to believe that it has to do with that it is in the "front page" of the editor when you open a table. My previous suggestion about instruction card. IF that is something to be implemented. Please make it as easy as changing a drop-down choosing the image.

Well, I meant more that the IC texture in the table itself could be changed via a script option or by user clicking MagnaSave or something. I don't see this requiring a change to the editor. 

[Thalamus]

I know what you meant, but, I don't think we should need a standard object like a instruction card to require any code. Just my opinion on the matter

[hauntfreaks]

ok I have one for you guys... I'm helping with a table, an old EM with the little flat/cone shaped rollover buttons ..... VPX doesnt have these so I made a primitive of the button and also the housing for the button (two different primitives)
the top pic is a 200% screenshot while in "camera view" the bottom 200% screenshot in "normal play view"
you can see the top has full detail of the primitive, bottom all detail is missing.... anyone want to take a stab at what causing this??
