old / new mac.vbs ?

Inside mac.vbs there are keycodes for Coins and more ...

 

Tried deleting Line 110, as i said above ?

If I delete line 110, there's no reaction, if I press the startbutton or the 1 on the keyboard.

There's no difference, if I set the old or the new mac.vbs.

 

I don't know, what the keycode can be. I have mapped the 1 on the keyboard to my startbutton. So all other tables are OK.

Ok, i try more later at home, or hope that Michael is coming with something News ...

Hi Guys,

 

the main problem is the GameOn solenoid (Sol11). I had issues with the normal SolCallback(sLLFlipper) calls, I tried to use the GameOn solenoid to enable/disable the flippers.

Sol11 is flashing if "ON", so I added a timer to keep the FlippeActive true during normal gameplay. Maybe on some machines the timer interval is too short, so that the flippers become inactive during normal gameplay.

 

Nevertheless I just found out that I should better use Sol10 as in "Space Train". I have no clue, why I ended using Sol11.

 

You can add the following code until I upload a new version:

 

SolCallback(10)="Sol10" 

 

Sub Sol10(enabled)
 Flipperactive = enabled
End Sub

 

and deactivate/delete the line

 

SolCallback(11)="Sol11"       'GameOn

 

Regards

Michael

By the way, the mac.vbs within the default script folder has been done by me, so it is the same and You do not need to replace it.

I play in DT mode, here is what I did and it worked:

 

Just comment line 62 ->   '        Sol11Timer.enabled = True

 

Here is the Sub

 

Sub Sol11(enabled)
    if enabled then
        Sol11Timer.enabled = False
'        Sol11Timer.enabled = True
        Flipperactive = True
    end if
End Sub

 

I just found it was strange to have Sol11Timer.enabled "False" and "True" in the same Sub

 

I have a question about the score, I use the DMD and it has only 6 digits

 

Is it possible to have 7 digits on the DMD ?

 

Anyway, thanks again for this table, Michael, the gaming is very addictive !

Hi Batch,

 

I just answered Your post in the WIP section. Commenting out the code as You did will activate the flippers also if no game is played after the first start.

Hi Joey,

 

this is strange. I found no solution to add a different key to start a game than using the StartGameKey. This is then processed using the mac.vbs and should be the same way for keyboard and cab. For me it is working for the joystick buttons of my pin controller too.

You can add the following line to the Sub MacsGalaxy_KeyDown:

 

msgbox(keycode)

 

This should open a window showing the key number after You pressed a key ("2" for keyboard 1-key). Please tell me, what the button hit is displaying.

I think, the score is OK with the 6 digits, because if you get more than 1m behind the score is a multiplier with x10.

If score is 190.000 with the multiplier, you have 1.900.000 points.

Take a look at the VPM Window ( set Hidden = 0, or over VPinMAME Test ), there are 6 Digits only, there is no 7 Digit Version for this.

Works great now Michael. Thank you ! Had no problems adding coins or starting game.

By the way, the mac.vbs within the default script folder has been done by me, so it is the same and You do not need to replace it.

So there is no need to replace the old MAC.vbs?

The only reason I added a 2 to the mac.vbs, and didn't overwrite old one, was they were both different sizes.

The original is 4.03kb and your new one was 3.95kb.

I wasn't sure if this would mess up the other MAC tables, if i had overwritten the original. So this new MAC.vbs will work fine with all the other MAC tables?

Or are you saying we don't need to update, (Or Replace), the old MAC.vbs with your new one included with download?

Thanks for the clarification MFuegemann.

And thanks for the update!!

Thanks for the update, Michael, everything works great now !

 

And thanks for the DMD lights and the backdrop, DT users like me appreciate !

[Thalamus]

Xenonph - this is a great site to compare content of text. https://www.diffchecker.com/

Just copy everything from you mac.vbs paste it in the window on the right, then do the same for the "new" mac2.vbs you made. You should pick up the changes quite easily.

 

I've used that site a bit lately when I want to see what changed from one version of a table to the next.

Thanks Michael for the Uodate and the Instructions, i made a quick PNG for PinballX (yes, i use PNG ), also PDF if anyone want to Change something ...

Thanks again and again for this fantastic table

 

I have another question, when I press the key "1" to start a game, why does it add 5 plays on the DMD ?

 

I also reworked your backdrop image, adding characters from the flyer

 

Here is the backdrop to import into Table -> Image Manager

 

 

And a snapshot with my DT settings

Hi Joey,
 
this is strange. I found no solution to add a different key to start a game than using the StartGameKey. This is then processed using the mac.vbs and should be the same way for keyboard and cab. For me it is working for the joystick buttons of my pin controller too.

msgbox(keycode)
 
This should open a window showing the key number after You pressed a key ("2" for keyboard 1-key). Please tell me, what the button hit is displaying. 

Very mysterious... When I press the startbutton or the number 1 on the keyboard, the message windows shows 2 as keycode for both. So both must be the same, but they are not.
 
[EDIT] Ha, found it...
I've take a look in the WinIPac for the Ultimarc controller and I see, that I map the startbutton with the key 1 and when I press shift+1 for ESC.
So I delete this shift-setting and now it works. Don't know, why this table has a problem with it.
I have this settings from the beginning and there was no issue all the time. But good to know, what the problem was.
I also set the freeplay to false and now only one game is added, when I press the startbutton. In freemode=true five games are added.

Thanks, Joe, it worked

 

Line 26: "Const FreePlay=False"

Same here with the Ipac , thank you , it works

Thanks mikael for another rare pin, we can now play it to vpx

 

did you try the option disable b2s from the vp menu? because it is the same as using loadvpmalt, normally no need of extra script

 

[mfuegemann]

Hi Arngrim,

 

the problem for me is that during development I play the tables without a B2S. I do not want to disable the B2S in general, as I also play FS tables on my development PC (with rotated main monitor).

So I am in need of a "per table" deactivation.

But thank You for the hint, so I have not to open the registry if I want to change the global setting.
