I add rules button (I/R) that show textmode rules. User can fill textbox and save rules directly from program. Rules will be saved in screenshot directory. This in 2.0.5.2 version.

Hobbyist !! Very good work!!

 

I have a problem with this program. Every time it runs, it deletes the options in the ini file and you have to re-enter everything from setup.

 

Thanks

Simple and basic. Many software authors tend to over complicate things. I like this because it's simple with no bs. You are a capable software designer - more than just a coder.

I had the same problem. You need to assignate all executable locations in the setup, even if you don't have future pinball for example.

 

These features would be great :

 

- to be able to sort the tables alphabetically. The  classification is done in order of creation actually.

 

- to be able to enlarge the column list

 

- the possibility to delete the sound when you launch the program.

 

- to have tabs for more images (front, back, rules...)

I do love this front end - but also getting hook errors and needing to set them all up again every so often.

 

The hook error only disappears after deleting the .ini file

 

I set up all the executables as the above posts stated, but problems remain

Great, thanks!

 

I was having the same problem as mentioned upthread: once I restarted the program, it complained that I hadn't done the setup and cleared the lists.

 

Turns out that you MUST enter setup data for all three programs, even if you don't use them. The workaround is just to point the Future Pinball and VP config to the same places as my VPX config. Works perfectly now.

I really like this front end.

However, when I try to create an account on their website, it responds with "invalid email address" message. I've tried two different email addresses with the same result.

Would like to make a donation - but the website won't let me open an acct.

Suggestions:

 

1. Aspect ratio correction for screenshots with multiple displays. As it it now the screenshots from my two monitor setup are squashed.

 

2. Option for rulesheets as image files.

 

3. Key shortcut to launch a random table.

 

Great tool.

v 2.0.5.3: Added jpeg rules (button I/R). If there is a name-of-table.vpt.jpg files in tables directory this image will be displayed instead of text rules. Added Rnd button from main to start a random table from list.

ahhhh...this is the simple PC desktop loader I've been looking for...my two main issues have already been mentioned.

1. Allow the list of tables column to be wider (some table names are long)

2. Disable that startup sound

 

great work and thank you!

Top work Hobbyist, 

 

it works great, more than that I do not need as desktop Pinball player.

 

would be perfect for me with 2 options :

 

1- resize the font size and art of the list 

 

2- a dark mode in software 

 

huge thanks

How can I take snapshots for FPRocket in Future Pinball with BAM?

 

yes with Bam (FB loader) unfortunately it doesn't work as should, i capture screen screen of table and it will saved immediately in Bam folder as PNG , it doesn't matter if you have created folder in setup at screens or not it will always saved the screenshot there in Bam folder .

 

the main issue that the screenshot it doesn't show up in FB rocket by list although it already captured and saved auto in Bam folder .

 

on other hand by Future Pinball.exe will everything work perfect the screenshot will be saved where you already  done at setup in screens directory , und  it will show up on FB Rocket list immediately  , 

 

I hope we get issue :( fixed in in future Pinball in Future
