I think these errors have been introduced lately.

Also, if you copy the name of an object, then go to the script and try to look for said object by doing ctrl F and then pasting the name in
Nothing pastes, which i assume is because it put the object itself in the paste buffer instead of the text

 

THis happened i think within the last 4 versions?

The "TailLength" is not used, perhaps with a value of 1 the sequence normally starts by turning on the lights,

and instead with a value of 0 it starts first by turning off the lights, or what is more convenient.

 

Indeed, good idea, any value > than 0 would do it. Edit: In theory though......

 

This should be updated anyway, if you do add any tail then I think that gets stuck.

 

..and thanks for that fix!!

Fixed with next version if I understand ?

[arngrim]

So the latest version available is 249 it i'm correct?

Can you specify in the update that you can Reverse blinking. I went to add reverse but found it got stuck if you added a TailLength, so you have an update and a fix.

 

 

- fix an issue where the light sequencer could become stuck

- any TailLength value higher than 0 will `Reverse`, where the lights will turn `off/on` instead of default `on/off`.

 

 

---------------------------------

 

Really need to get in and try and fix this really, tried twice now . When I come to continue work from last night I'm greeted with 5 versions I'm working on, but no idea what is what when they get clipped like this. 10.6 will expand across the main window but gets clipped in new UI 80 chars.

I know, i also tried to fix this, but no clue how..  :/

K I'll have another look. I think it's the parent clipping it so I would start around there.

[fuzzel]

rev270 is up (Release Candidate):

 

- fix copy/paste issue for properties and other dialogs

- changed `SeqBlink` to accept a `TailLength` this fixes the sequencer getting stuck if value greater than 0 is sent. Any value higher than 0 will `Reverse`, where the lights will turn `off/on` instead of default `on/off`.

- mouse cords display in converted units in separate status column, disabled by default with VP units (no conversion).

- added lower case filtering to layers. added checkbox for users to toggle between case-sensitive filtering.

- add GetInPlayState to the light element: if Light Sequencer is running, returns the current state set by the Light Sequencer

- added tables to `File > New` menu. `strippedTable.vpx` and `lightSeqTable.vpx`, lightweight starter tables.

- properly initialize new LS variable

[chepas]

Got a bit closer, full paths now but errors when it VERIFYs the menu in after clicking it (this will still load the table), I'm sure this just a warning as running debug build.

menuInfo.fMask = MIIM_ID | MIIM_DATA | MIIM_TYPE | MIIM_STATE; // Add the MIIM_DATA flag
menuInfo.cch = strlen(recentMenuname); //set string length, works without...
menuInfo.dwItemData = reinterpret_cast<unsigned long>(recentMenuname); // this will full path

`OnUnInitMenuPopup`  wxx_frame.h

 

Maybe that helps a bit, can't get past that as that pop up menu is setting the `mii.dwItemData` to 0

OGG bug in 270

 

Using an OGG file for my flipper up/down sound effect.  Spamming the flipper I've noticed two things:

1) Spamming both flippers causes the firing of the sound to not happen, or if I'm fast enough, I can get the sound to not play using one flipper; I'm guessing it can't play the sound if the sound is already playing?

2) The speed of the sound file playing increases each time (so the effect goes quicker and increases in pitch).

 

Went from version 169 to 270 (that's not a typo), saw this behavior in 169, came here to grab the most recent version, still seeing it.

It doesn't appear to be happening to every ogg file being used.  In the tiny bit of testing I've done, it might only affect sound using the PlaySoundAt sub, which just calls:

PlaySound soundname, 0, 1, Pan(tableobj), 0.06, 0, 0, 0, AudioFade(tableobj)

 

After doing some testing before posting this, I think it's the random pitch and pitch variables of the playsound command.  If I change it from 0.06 and set it to 0 in the sub, it doesn't misbehave.  I was also having issues with the rolling sound effect that's become fairly standard in tables, from JP, and I had to change the pitch variable of the playsound command to fix that.

 

Is it just not a good idea to use OGG for all sounds?  Stick to wave files for sound effects?  What about callouts, those would be getting played through a DMD, and typically the Playsound command is nothing more than the string of the sound, would it be a good idea to use OGG/MP3 there?

[Thalamus]

@shoopity : Yes, using *.mp3 or *.ogg for table elements is currently not a good idea - at least yet.

 

Keep *.ogg and *.mp3 for backglass only. Might even be a good idea to push them using front/read to the very rear to be honest.

You wont get ogg to take random pitch manipulation etc, they will spaz out
like thalamus said, for table effect, best to use wav format

The mouse pointer is not printed in the screenshot, but I can guarantee that the tip is in the center of the highlighted primitive (more or less),
the position indicated in the bar is 6-7 units of difference compared to the real position, this difference decreases if you zoom in more.
 
The elements pointer also does not put objects where it indicates the +.
 

 
Thanks.

That's a known behavior and is the same in every version of VPX. The mouse pointer has a higher precision than the drawings in the editor. If you place a wall with a corner point at 0/0 and zoom into that point you will see that the coordinates of the mouse pointer is somewhat near to 0/0 but not 100% 0/0. This behavior wasn't changed I 10.7 at all.

I want to give back, any devs live near NJ (I have some extra bartop cabs I have build during lockdown) I think toxie and fuzzel are both german?  anyone in need in NJ?

German we are yes my young padawan

 

I only wrote 6-7-units, but in reality they are 16-17 units.
In previous VP versions the position of the pointer is correct, also the pointer of the elements,

with the exception of the elements that were added later, such as primitives, flashers and rubbers.

 

Sorry for that again, can this be fixed?

[cyberpez]

Can you update a specific material setting and leave the rest alone?

 

Something like this..  the 0 settings are the ones that would not be updated/changed.

 

UpdateMaterial "SideWallFlasher" & nr,0,0,0,0,0,0,ObjLevel(nr),0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
