i was wondering of the difficulty, or the not difficulty because the mp3 don't come from the sound manager of vp, but from a specific folder outside the table, so maybe there was a way to make a deviation there, then no need to involve the table artists.

 

but that's ok, we can wait for vp10 for that

rev 919 adds the extended per-table settings for AA,FXAA,ball trails and ball reflection (-1 takes the default from the video preferences, 0 forces off, 1 forces on)

[toxie]

*bump*ing this thread: could you guys please give this version (rev 919) some final testing love?

 

if nothing else pops up or we are still missing some important bugfix, this would be the final DX7 release then..

[koadic]

I'll have to compile it when I get home... I went to bed after compiling 918 and didn't get a chance to get 919 before I went to work

[toxie]

No need to hurry..

 

Thanks!

I get threat detected when I try to run VPinball 9.2.1 rev916.

I downloaded it from the daily builds drop-box.

 

Has anyone else had this, is it a false positive?

[imagamejunky]

It's a false positive

Did you realize how historic of a post this was when you made it 

 

Fuzzel made a similar comment on the "Dev thread: Road to DX9" topic but yours beats it chronologically by a couple hours.

[toxie]

funny enough, rev 921 will be the (current) RC for 9.2.1  

 

(so please use this one for testing as soon as koadic has it compiled)

I smell a conspiracy here

[DreamTrap]

downloaded 921 was the global ball trails for all tables added i can't find it?

[gtxjoe]

Tables will use the global Video Preferences-> Ball Trail/Motion Blur setting, if the table option "Trail/Motion Blur" is set to -1.

It looks like old tables not modified with a VP version supporting ball trails default to -1 when opened in rev921

i'll try but honestly i don't think that the mp3  have their place at the play sounds level at all, mp3 to be put on music folder is imo a fine way to separate play music than play sound sounds, and i don't see any negative impact to move them on play music, worst case, the user has only one set of speakers and both levels will be played on the same speakers

 

My private version of VP is set up to do exactly this.   It's not difficult.  I was going to post the patch, but then the sound routines started changing immediately after VP 9.2 was released.    It basically just adds a second sound device to the control panel, and then sends music, or pinsounds with a special tag in the name to the backglass speakers.    It's backwards compatible too - if I use a stock VP player, the sounds just go back to the cab's speakers. 

 

I find that having the table noises at a fixed level, but the music/DMD easily adjustable with the volume buttons is fine.    A real pin is that way.

what i'm trying to do is enable the trials with a value of 200 and all the tables will use this value. so far i can't do this unless i edit each table separately and i have over 100 tables installed...

very cool, if you already did the code for separating at least the MP3 music, then please try to port it to the recent VP version and send it to me.

would be a waste to not include it (even if will be changed later-on).

So is this right as far as development goes.
We can expect a vp9.2.1 within a week or so.

Then a vp 9.3 with dx9 compatible player in ? Time frame.

Then development will switch to vp10?

I have some ideas for stuff in vp 10.

With the director. Will things like round shape able rubbers be possible, like in fp.

And once again, thanks to all the devs

9.2.1: on the weekend, as far as I understand.

 

Official VP9-DX9 release: not fixed, but I would guess a few weeks from now.

 

VP10: completely open, both in timeframe and features. We plan to have a VP10 brainstorming thread, probably once the DX9 version is out.

I'm not too much into this matter but will the final VP9-DX9 support fullscreen or do we still have to use window mode? I hope fullscreen will work...

Do you have any problems with the windowed fullscreen mode? It seems to work well for most people and looks identical to real fullscreen.

 

The problem with true fullscreen is that it's not a VP issue as such. The problem is that when DX9 goes into fullscreen mode, it switches to so-called exclusive mode, which means that other programs (VPM or b2s) can't really use the graphics hardware anymore. To fix this it would be necessary for VP to cooperate more closely with those other programs, which would take quite a lot of work.

[Slydog43]

The only problem I have with Windowed mode is switching back and forth between versions.  (Can we use full screen for 9.2 and windowed for 9.21?  I can't figure that out.)  If I never have to go back to 9.2 that is fine also if compatibility is a little better (very close now, but I don't see it being perfect ever).  maybe a command line argument to set the window resolution/full screen stuff would do it for front ends like hyperpin/pinballx, or just shortcuts from desktop

 

Thanks for all the dev work guy, incredible progress!
