2gb gtx 650 smooth fps

 Fren... are you overclocking your 650??  and if so what software?
 

no not overclocking, bone stock

 
wait do you guys think I said 650fps????
i mean 2gb gtx650, with smooth fps (no stutter)
 

 
I have the same card (but getting a little shutter on a couple VPX tables)... my system is: QUAD CORE i5-3570 - 8GB DDR3 RAM  win7   .... do you guys keep you windows 100% fully updated?

Windows update disabled. I don't need any annoyances on a keyboard less machine. Did you enable vsync? That seems to help.

Sindbad, i've played truckstop for about 3 hours today and had no ball-stuck issues anymore!

you mean this correct?? I have tried it set from 0-120

Got almost everything working except scoring now you need the backglass too!

when you press start to reset drop targets the lights reset now and contactors fire maybe to much?

 

This has been a good learning tool another pic wip26 in link now

Fripounet,

 

could you please be a little more precise? What does exactly mean "the table is dark"?

the table gives the impression of being played in a room without light.

little contrast with the playfield and the ball. , maybe a table mod night ?

how to put an environmental light ?

 

P.S  : I saw the real table on youtube , in fact it's his nature.(personality)

Buck Rogers gives me an error message when balls collide and Truck Stop has a totally different ball behavior than the PM5 version...

[Sindbad]

Guys,

 

please be more precise... Which error message?

 

It's intereseting: with the PM5 version of Truck Stop, I've got feedback that the ball physics are far away from the original. I tried to get closer to the original, but it seems that confuses the users now ...

Fripounet,

 

please use the day/night slider to adjust lighting.

Just updated to latest beta. The problems with Buck Rogers seem to be gone.

Truck Stop physics are not bad, I have mostly the problem that when the ball is rolling down the left inlane, it immediately stops at the upper end of the left flipperfinger when holding it up.

I hope that the ball physics in kickers will be more realistic in one of the next versions. At the moment it snaps in (and out) without any animation. It's a little funnel so it should wobble around a little bit.

ball in the slingshot ??

 

[Sindbad]

Huh?

 

That's interesting. I'll have a look at the slingshot ... Thanks for pointing that out.

Hi, thought i'd post this here as well if anyone wants to offer feedback on this table as well (also at the WIP section ). I"d like to get my physics as solid as possible before putting together more code, so please let me know if you have any suggestions.

 

The table is Ghouls N' Ghosts Pinball which is an original adaptation of the classic capcom arcade game.

 

things to check out:

-skillshot magnet that awards points for time in boss circle, activated by a light plunge hitting 3rd rollover in circle

-2 ball multiball set up for hitting in line targets

-hit left ramp to charge mode light, hit captive ball to launch random mode

- mode set up at this time is a shoot lit target mode. this is working partially at this point

-hit targets to right of the dragon to increase or decrease next weapon mode. shoot the lane with the green lights 3 times to open the gate that goes from that lane to boss lane, this will set the flashing next weapon as the active weapon mode

-rolling over inlanes turns on a timer for a ramp multiplier.

 

 

There's still lots of code to write (Lyman, your job is safe), but i'd appreciate any feedback on the gameplay so far and how accessable the modes are at this time.

 

Please note at the present time, lights do not turn off at the end of balls or games to make it easier to test modes, etc. Thanks and please let me know what you think.

Can't for the life of me get MOTU working, do I need the ROM for it to work correctly.  The table displays but that's about it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You need to move the plunger object. When I tryed the table the plunger wasn't hitting the ball to launch it down the lane.

The ball in the sling shot....maybe it isn't a bug...it happend to me last week when i played a real Indy 500!

Yes thankyou, this is because when it's "rom" controlled it's fired with impulse plunger.

 

The last version of VP10 has broken that table. Now crashes on load, version before are fine.

[darkangel359]

Ok, thanks.  Will try it when I get home today.

[darkangel359]

Ok, installed everything on my office PC and does the same thing.  When you say "move " plunger, do you mean by the "enter" button of manually grab it with the mouse cursor?  If so, I can't even see the plunger.  All other buttons work just fine though.

[chepas]

There's box on the bottom right called Plunger. You can use the select elements to find it easier (Edit > Select element ) or the selection arrow on left.

 

Just move it up when selected into the green switch box slightly and it should be ok.

 

I would've done and saved this for you but something's dodgy somewhere in this table with latest version, hold fire for a bit.

[darkangel359]

That worked, thanks man.  Don't know how I didn't notice or try that, not really new to this.  Been playing and modding these things for about 3 years now.  Thanks again.
