The stuck ball was on the left ramp. There's a hack for it in the script, but I've fixed it properly now and disabled the hack. A wall was cutting through the ramp so I had to re-contour it to prevent the ball sticking there plus on the top bend. Nothing I did. Testing seems good and will update shortly.

Thanks! Been playing a lot of Monster Bash using another table during the last few days. I think I prefer this table over the other one actually as it plays a bit better, at least to me. Had some problems with the ramps on the other one. Can you share some more details of what has been changed?

Looks great!

I liked my theory about Doc and Miss Franky better

Looks and plays great! I have a problem with Drac attack though. He comes out from his coffin but goes back in right away. Mission still continues. Tested with Ninuzzu&TT version and happens there too

Thanks Bigus, very nice mod. The left ramp plays fine now but I'm seeing the ball jump at the top of the shooter lane and sometimes failing to reach the top.

Hi, I downloaded this table, looks good.

 

At launch, there was an options menu for visual elements like Drac, Frankie, etc.

 

I selected some elements to change, checked the "do not show this again" option... big mistake, because I ended up with big black filled rectangles in place of the characters I chose to change.

 

I wanted the options menu back... impossible to find a solution. I searched in the forums, google etc, nothing. I also checked the windows registry, looked if there was a config file somewhere:, nada.

 

I have two questions :

* why did I get black rectangles, is it possible to fix that (VPX options ?)

* how can I bring back the options menu ?

[bigus1]

Deleting the NVram should do the trick

Thanks for that quick answer

 

But, if I am not mistaken, the NVRAM is managed by vPinMAME? I am talking about your modded VP table preferences, not those of the ROMs. This options menu appears at first launch, which you can choose to discard next times.

 

Anyway, I tried that (why not, i costs nothing), and that is not the solution...

 

And what could cause the black rectangles ?

I do not see the Option Menu in this version.

The only version I see that has it is the VP9 version here..

Monster Bash Desktop PcKiller Edition 2.6

and here...

Monster Bash VP9 2.1

https://www.vpforums...s&showfile=3170

 

To get your Options Menu to show up again try this...

 

For the Monster Bash Desktop PcKiller Edition 2.6

Open the table script and go to Line 71 and you will see this...

 

       'SaveValue cRegistryName, "Options", 0 : Exit Sub  ' This will clear your Registry settings if uncommented

 

Remove the apostrophy from the front of that Line and it will look like this...

 

       SaveValue cRegistryName, "Options", 0 : Exit Sub  ' This will clear your Registry settings if uncommented

 

For the Monster Bash VP9 2.1 version, you will find the same on Line 56.

 

Now run the table.

This should clear the registry and allow for the Menu Options window to show at table start.

 

Exit table and do not save.

Now on next run of table your Options Menu will pop up.

 

If you are getting black rectangles on the VPX table mod by Bigus,

Try checkmarking the "Alternative Depth Buffer processing" in the VPX video options.

@Bigus1 : sorry I goofed on this one, xenonph was right, this was not your MOD I had problems with... woops

 

@xenonph : your two tips did the tricks - I was able to reset the options, and the black rectangles disappeared with the "Alternative Depth Buffer processing" option (I am running Windows 7 in a VM so all my nVidia card functions are not completely emulated)
