If you don't get an error. You are probably not running the new beta version of VP that requires it to be correct ?! Or, the version of the table you've got is different from everyone else. Maybe not the latest version ?

 

I was not offended by your question by the way.

 

What is a gate ? When you are in the element selector. It is telling you what layer the gate is on. The tables often er cluttered with objects so to help you find the gate and see what the options are doing. Turn off all the layers in the 1,2,3,4 to 11 buttons except for the layer where the gate is said to be. Now it should be much easier to find the object in question ( the gate ). Change its type. Start the game. Study it. Go back, change its type again. It should now look different if you've done it correctly and you've learned something new - how to change a gates look.

 

I’m using VP 10.5 with the core.vbs from the new 10.6. You suggested this when I was having a flipper problem with different ROMs in Rollercoaster Tycoon. It has been working great so I have not changed it. At some point I will be switching to 10.6

I have Lethal Weapon 3, vers 1.1 by javier1515 and Algar vers 1.0 by kalavera.

 

The Search/Select Element screen you posted in message 19 is something new to me. I never saw that before.

I've been looking at the layers & gates & how to select & find them. I can drag and change their size & rotation. When changing the Type sometime it's difficult to see the way it looks. Have to hide the Bracket & view the gate from a layback position. If the gate is not visible does it matter which type it is?

 

Thanks for all your help.

Well, kind of - if you want to have it authentic. Often you can look at the other gates and do a best guess from there. You will see the gate change once the ball is hitting it. Some have small thin wires other big thick block of metal. Of course - if the gate isn't visible it shouldn't make any difference what type you choose. The properties is still retained.

 

Algar has some updates that you haven't downloaded so that might explain why. Version 1.0 is made for 10.4 and newer version require 10.5. Not sure about Lethal Weapon but it might be others that aren't updated ?? Looking at my table script names I've got a 1.0 that I've done some modification to.so maybe others that do have problem is running old and are reporting it as an error because the old version had this problem ?

Thanks for the update about the Algar update.

 

I tried Algar 1.2.2 and got a message “This table was saved with version 10.50 & is newer than the supported version 10.40! You might have problems loading/playing it!”

I don’t understand why I’d get that message since I am using 10.5.0 Final.

I went to Gate 4 and selected a Type and now do not get the error message.

Yes. If you read the support thread. That is my fault. I had 10.6 from DjRobX before the beta started. Kalavera sent me a update and I edited the table just a little bit before uploading. Actually, the version I had at that time was basically 10.5 final with a few new lines of code. So you. Load the table - ignore the error and just press save. And that error will be gone forever.
