Fixed.

 

For hyperpin to launch the backglass, the table and B2S backglass need to have _B2S on the end so something like this:

 

Centigrade37_B2S.vpt

Centigrade37_B2S.exe

 

Never realized all the other tables I have end in _B2S.

The *.vpt does not have to at least on my cab.  I rename then with the  "Table name (Manufacturer year).vpt" and they all work fine.

[zeenon]

Are you using HyperPin with FPlaunch? Z

[Shadowsclassic]

Yep, just checked it.  works just fine with HP & FpLaunch. 

 

Gridiron named "Gridiron (Gottlieb 1977).vpt"   EXE named "Gridiron_B2S.exe"

 

  <game name="Gridiron (Gottlieb 1977)">
    <description>Gridiron (Gottlieb 1977)</description>
    <manufacturer>Gottlieb</manufacturer>
    <year>1977</year>
    <type>EM</type>
  </game>

My son and I played this game last night.

It is spectacular. Quite a show piece.

Even if I have no idea what a "Flankerback" is.

Add this subroutine and the B2S will exit with the table

 

sub PinuckEM_Exit  

     Dim WshShell

     Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 

     WshShell.Run "taskkill /F /IM ""Gridiron_B2S.exe""",0,true

end sub

Thanks for the tip, scottacus. Pinuck's tables are still absolute faves of mine!

[scottacus]

I discovered that code in a post for editing Rosie's tables and I found that it works for all of thes B2S style tables so long as you use the name in front of the _init subroutine as the table name and the name of the B2S file in the.exe statement. There are a lot of great vp9 tables that use this style of code and all of them seem to behave the same way.

I see in the online DOF config tool that there is a config file for this table but I don't see a DOF version of the table. The config header says "942 Gridiron DOF 1.0 Use E version". Any idea where these tables exist? I posted a question about the edequitte of DOFing tables to see if I can edit these tables because it looks like the authors are no longer active here to give approval...

Beautiful Table.  There is a live example at Silverball Museum near my home and it plays amazing.  Any Pinuck table has a revered spot on my cab as I know that it's going to be amazing.

Sure it's a beautiful table, someone should do the VPX version !   

[Ben Logan]

Pinuck’s stuff is top notch. And there’s a VPX version over at one of the other sites.

how the hell did I miss this??... thanks Ben

[Ben Logan]

Sorry, guys. I spoke too soon. I just checked: The Gridiron over at another site is still VP9, but with DOF upgrade. My mistake.

[hauntfreaks]

ok... pulling my pants back up   

[batch]

So, finally, someone should do the VPX version !

[scottacus]

If someone has high quality artwork for the table, I'd be willing to author a VPX version.

[Thalamus]

Don't really understand ... what is wrong with the PF ?

[batch]

I think that it's because the lighting effect is on the playfield itself, and it's all the same for the plastics

 

 

Scottacus, perhaps you can ask to Pinuk if he has the original, without the lights
