Thanks for your help and suggestions.

And... I've found it.

Actually...it's so very simple and clear that I overlooked it.

I guess....you do not have any DOF controlled lights in your setup do you??  :) 

None of the lights are defined in the DOF Config table....that's why they do not work! (makes sense)

Now...I do have actuaters in my cab but as I have SSF I've turned them off but...as soon as I turned them on they were working!

So the solution is very simple.....define the DOFlights.

I did make a start but I've never done that before so it's just a start but here I have 4 lights which corresponds the color and position of the 4 bumpers and I defined a strobe when hitting that middle target just in between these bumpers.

Tested it and now there's DOF-lights........

Next action is to fill in all DOF Eventnumbers in a nice way.....

The config i initially created was only for solenoids (actuaters), and you state you had them turned off,

so because there were no lights operating, you assumed the DOF wasnt working atall.

I see now.

(yes i have no lights)

 

Glad its all sorted for you.

So...digged into it and added some lights (just as a beginner in light-dof-programming but  it will give some nice effects).

[update] It's added to the config tool now.


@JP: I noticed that when you get all 4 A-B-C-D lights on and you drain with t he last ball: when you start a new game these lights do not reset. Is this the way it should be?

And: when in the debug monitor I see warnings coming up that VP wants to play triggered sounds but it can not play it because the sound is not available.

I'll take a look at the table in a few weeks, Wednesday I had a knee surgery and just now it's too painful to sit in a chair.

You know a great way to get rid of knee pain, is to have your wife stomp on your toe. Forget all about the knee pain.

Get well.

@xenonph hahaha then I should have both pain in the toe and the knee :)

About the lights not resetting: they do not reset, a player can "steal" the progress of another player. Even when playing a 3 players game, the lights do not reset between players :) Just take a look at some YouTube videos. You'll notice that a new game may start with some labcd lights on.

As I wrote, those ABCD lights do not reset between games. That can be seen in the Papa video on YouTube, as the new game starts with 3 of those lights already on.

Hi together,

i just submitted an addition to dof config for this table.

added start button light and gear motor

simply download the vbs and place it beside the table vpx.

Or only copy the related lines of the vbs and paste them into your script.

Thanks! I won't be able to update the table until a few weeks, so for now just use the new script :)
