Mine doesn't show the "Table" menu - layers only. When I click the Table icon on the left, There is a red x on the right hand side. I reloaded vpx10.7 but no change. Nothing I do can get me to "Table" - nothing but "Layers" are displayed on the right - with no other options, menus or selection available.

It used to be so easy to change the table rotation.

Go up by the top where it says properties and use your mouse to pull down the window

To fix it easily, fire up said table, and just tilt it on purpose once and let the ball drain
next ball will be good again

 

 

I'll try that next time. Problem hasn't recurred since I turned off autosave though.

Hello everyone, maybe it's a repeated question, but the 'layers' and 'properties' windows appears right on screen every time I open a table, it can barely see it for 1 second thanks to the loading screen, but it looks ugly. I can´t see a way to remove them

 

Regards

@defcon_norris : Delete the registry entry for the editor. Start the editor, customize it how you like it - export that registry entry as a better solution the next time around - in case this happens again. Problem solved.

Thanks. I deleted without thinking and got a bit freaked out seeing misplaced DMD and graphics settings. But I quickly adjusted it back thanks to the notes and 'SetDMD Position'. The volume level of the tables seems not to have been lost

It seems that registry slightly overlaps the previous versions with the current Beta (or something). Cheers

 

 

P.S: This happens again (in Desktop mode). Even though I minimize main window to a corner and close, 'layers' and 'properties' windows appear to the right when loading tables for a few seconds. The solution was to move these windows too to a corner and close. Now only the 3 corners are visible when starting a table. First world problems

This has been like this since the first VPX version. You need to make the peg "dynamic", this is, use a material that is has the Opacity active (not cero). This is because the kickers are always redrawn due to its interactive properties, so any wall, ramp, peg, in front of them should also be dynamic.

Is there already a 10.8 beta thread?

[Thalamus]

Wasn't last I checked. Last build is now 10.7.1-132 and I expect 10.7.1 line of fixes will continue until either a major change; needing to bump the 10.7 to 10.8 or a final 10.7.2 release.down the line.

Hi super Guys !!!

I just tried VP 10.7 beta, and it runs well our Alpha of Alien... That's already a very good thing

 

But i had two problems :

 the first is that i didn't find the 1080x1920 (windowed fullscreen) option, so if i try another thing (necessarily the wrong choice), the only way for me to get again this parameter is to come back to vpx 10.6 and put this résolution again. when i run the vp 10.7 it's memorised.

the second is more an asking, could we have a button to reinitialize the layers/properties position. I say that because i lost the layers window (no more tabs at the bottom of the property window to get the layers). Another time to come back to this little bug, i had to come back to vpx 10.6 and open again the 10.7.

 

And maybe a little late comment about the multiplication of tabs for editing objects... the old way to see all parameters was very effective i think. Perhaps, in the future, could we move and open the tabs to see all in one time verticaly, or another way to come back to the old presentation.

 

Big thanks another time to all of you for your hard work !!!!!

How did you get the layers panel to show back up after it disappeared. I am having the same problem right now. Mine has disappeared and I don't know how to reenable it. 

 

Thanks for any help.

Is there already a 10.8 beta thread?

 

I dont think a feature set or anything has been discussed for 10.8
at least not publicly, i am sure the devs have some ideas.
Has to be some significant changes though to call it 10.8

 

10.7 still has a lot of mileage left in it

[wolis]

I have found a few tables show a warning dialog complaining that I am using version 10.70 not 10.71

 

eg: FamilyGuy_Upgrade(Final).vpx - found on vpuniverse.com

 

Firstly, is this supposed to be 10.7.0 and 10.7.1 ?  Or is there a 10.71.0 somewhere??

 

Secondly, if people are building tables with it, is there an 'official' link we can download it from? I see people attaching exe files to forum posts and I can't bring myself to download them :-)

 

I have seen people say "Just save in v10.7.0 and that warning will go away" but some tables, like FamilyGuy, seem to be broken without it.

 

Thanks  

[jpsalas]

You can always download the latest beta from the GitHub page: GitHub - vpinball/vpinball: Visual Pinball

 

I use for now the release version 10.7 since there is just now only one important bug fix in the beta and that's loading of waves files that are 32 bits. If you use the File  > Load from the menu, those tables which include some 32 bits waves will work find, but if you start them from the menu list or from a front end then VPX crashes, as other loading routines are used. There aren't many tables affected by this bug, but I guess FamilyGuy is one of them, although the versions I have they all work without any problem.

 

The problem in using beta versions is that they may introduce new bugs, and for now I recommend using the release version, since most of the changes just now are due to the merging of the VPVR code with the regular VPX.

[wiesshund]

Authors should really not be using 10.7.1 for releases
not until 10.7.1 at least becomes some official mention here in these forums like 10.7.0 was.

One small data structure change could render a table useless to anyone without the version in question
