hi, i need help.

Sorry for my english i'm french so i use Google traduction

I'm finishing my 125 tables in fast flips: I hang on Charlie Angels: I have a pc or I test my tables, I put the version 1.0.0 with the corresponding vbs it works, I try also 1.0. 1 and 1.0.2 it works too (FF at 1.2ms)

I try on my pincab, it take me a VPM mistake .And if I remove the vbs, I go back to 24,2ms

On my 2 PCs I have the same version  sambuild (4709) and vpx 10.6 3660 beta.

Someone would have another idea?

 

Thanks

[Thalamus]

I believe you have some old *.vbs script in the tables folder that is making troubles for you. Since you mention Charlies Angles it might be gts1.vbs

Also, If I remember correctly. JP updated this table - so, you probably don't need to use the script repo for this table anymore. If not JP forgot to add useSolenoids=2

[casimir8740]

Actually this file must be in the table folder.

I try when I come home.

If I delete the gts1.vbs from the tables folder, other tables do not run the risk of not working anymore?

 

Should I delete it or replace it with a newer one?

 

Thanks

My gts1.vbs file is in the Scripts folder & everything works fine.

[Thalamus]

@casimir8740 : No, please - never have any *.vbs files in tables folder. (well, you can have table scripts - but, to make it easy, we say never ) I hope you have one in scripts folder already and that is the updated one. When you update. The scripts is an important part of the update. Pr. example when you update to 10.6, core.vbs is updated and it is expected that you have this version when running 10.6. If there is a *.vbs file in tables folder, it will be loaded instead of the one in scripts and you end up with weird things happening.

@Thalamus Thank you so much for this help, it's exactly that: you have to delete the GTS1.vbs file which was not up to date.

I've been looking for a long time: thank you again

Not sure if this was mentioned before. I just found some high latency on the new TAFs upper right flipper. Not sure about the lower flippers, but it is pretty obvious on the upper right flipper. The values look right, do I have to add any line in the script to get rid of the lag?

Maybe I should mention that Ibam playing in VR. All other tables tested seem to work flawless.

Perhaps I missed it, but is there a way to have Fastflips working with Peyper tables like "Wolfman" and "Nemesis" ?

[toxie]

peyper should work the same as the others from what i can see..

[batch]

Sorry, there's something I don't understand

 

Here is what I added to the script

 

'-----------------------------------
'------  Solenoid Assignment  ------
'-----------------------------------

'Sol1 LSling
SolCallback(2)="DropTargetBank.SolDropUp"
'Sol3 RSling
'Sol4 Bumper
'Sol5 Bumper
SolCallback(6)="DropTargetBank2.SolDropUp"
SolCallback(7)="vpmSolSound ""knocker"","
SolCallback(8)="bsTrough.SolOut"
'SolCallback(30)="SolGameOver"

'SolCallback(sLLFlipper)="vpmSolFlipper LeftFlipper,Nothing,"
'SolCallback(sLRFlipper)="vpmSolFlipper RightFlipper,Nothing,"

SolCallBack(31) = "FastFlips.TiltSol"

 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

'--------------------------
'------  Table Init  ------
'--------------------------
Dim bsTrough,obj,DropTargetBank,DropTargetBank2,cLeftCaptive,cRightCaptive,Flipperactive
dim FastFlips

Sub Nemesis_Init
    vpminit me

 

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

    PinMAMETimer.Interval=PinMAMEInterval
    PinMAMETimer.Enabled = true

Set FastFlips = new cFastFlips
                with FastFlips
                    .CallBackL = "SolLflipper"    'Point these to flipper subs
                    .CallBackR = "SolRflipper"    '...
                '    .CallBackUL = "SolULflipper"'...(upper flippers, if needed)
                '    .CallBackUR = "SolURflipper"'...
                    .TiltObjects = True 'Calls vpmnudge.solgameon automatically
                '    .InitDelay "FastFlips", 100
                '    .DebugOn = False        'Call FastFlips.DebugOn True or False in debugger to enable/disable.
                end with

 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sub Nemesis_KeyDown(ByVal keycode)
    if keycode = startgamekey then
        if FreePlay then
            vpmTimer.PulseSw -3
        end if
        Controller.Switch(-4) = 1
    end if

    If keycode = PlungerKey Then
        Plunger.PullBack
    End If

If KeyCode = LeftFlipperKey then FastFlips.FlipL True :  FastFlips.FlipUL True
If KeyCode = RightFlipperKey then FastFlips.FlipR True :  FastFlips.FlipUR True

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Sub Nemesis_KeyUp(ByVal keycode)
    if keycode = startgamekey then
        Controller.Switch(-4) = 0
    end if

    If keycode = PlungerKey Then
        Plunger.Fire
    End If

If KeyCode = LeftFlipperKey then FastFlips.FlipL False :  FastFlips.FlipUL False
If KeyCode = RightFlipperKey then FastFlips.FlipR False :  FastFlips.FlipUR False

 

And I get the following message

Very sorry to persist on my request, but I would be very happy if someone could explain me how to make Fastflips work on Peyper tables

 

Thanks so much in advance for your help

[toxie]

Shouldn't it be as simple as mentioned in the first post?

 

1. Open table script

2. Search for 'UseSolenoids' and change it's value to 2

3. Add the line 'VpmInit me' to the table _init section if it's not there already (search for '_init', it's usually Table1_Init or Table_Init)

[batch]

Thanks for your reply

 

That's what I did first but when I press F11 here is what I can read

 

UseSolenoids=2

 

 

UseSolenoids=1

 

 

For me it's almost the same, except that (0 f) always remains at 0.0 ms when UseSolenoids=1

 

As it's a conversion from VP9 to VPX, perhaps do I have to change something to flippers settings in the script ?

[Thalamus]

@Batch : have you started the table at that point ? Rom is active and running ?

[batch]

I open the table, insert a coin, press F11, and then operate the left flipper

 

[Thalamus]

Pretty sure you need to start the game as well before the reading is going to be correct.

[batch]

Can I send you the table, so you will see by yourself ?

[toxie]

sure, yes!

[toxie]

Okay, the explanation is pretty simple: Both the VP9 version and your VPX version both steer the flippers directly, without a round trip to PinMAME. So you already have 'fast flips enabled', just without using the core support.
