BuckRogers crashes for me when i try launch the ball with the following error in the script:

 

Line 593: Sub ShooterLane_Hit():SoundAssignBall:DOF dShooterLane, 1:End Sub

[nFozzy]

given the critical nature of flippers and their dynamics, would it be a fair statement to make, that more flipper dynamics/physics development would be useful in vp10?

It's tough to say when no two of these test tables have even similar physics setups. VP10 is still pretty new, so you're going to see wildly different settings for table gravity, friction, flippers, and table angles. Your angle concerns are probably related to flipper friction, which is pretty low on MrMsPM, but table friction is very high so it has an interesting affect.

 

If you want to mess with the physics yourself, make test playfield, set up the physics according to recommended defaults ( https://github.com/c...ki/VP10-Physics ) and go from there. A couple of flipper concerns I've had with recommended defaults is that they get a lot less bouncy closer to their axis (makes Tron or Funhouse-style kickouts a pain to tune) and they 'give' too much when struck at full stroke, even with high mass.

Hi,

 

here is my Wolf Man VPX table WIP. This is my first try on converting a VP9 table to VP10. The big thing is, that not only the materials are missing. The Friction was 0 on all walls and ramps, giving the table very strange ball behaviour.

For this table, I fixed all the mentioned things but maybe it really is best to start a VP10 version from scratch.

The table comes with working FS and DT settings.

Have fun.

Michael, this is your first stab at VP10? Compared to your VP9 version this table already plays better. Really nice work on the ball feel and physics. Turning down the lights suits it really well too. Very impressive work.

some of the objects in Monster Bash are pink, maybe a texture missing? or is that to indicate whats being worked on?? 

[toxie]

Monster Bash was a pretty early WIP for testing, also a lot of lamps do not work correctly yet.

Rob,
 
select the first entry in the controller selection, this activates the global controller settings and reads the controller type from controller.txt. I wanted to have an option to overwrite the value from controller.txt. So you still can choose other controllers if you don't want to use this feature.

Got it, before reading your response I had tried the F6 option and it worked fine

For me these tables gives only continuos crashes, table loads and during the loading script process (final loading part) VPX closes with a general error message.
Strangely Papa Smurf works perfectly
 
(latest build release on Gtx660 2GB, 4GB Ram, Q9400)

Are you certain you updated the vbs that are required? There are a few files required, not just the exe for vp10 to work. If possible, please post the general error message, I am sure we can assist you in figuring this out. Your specs are surly sufficient to run this

 

I'm using the VBS folder included in the zip, unpacked in tables folder ...Do I need other vbs resources?

[fuzzel]

And be sure you copied the dll files provided within the zip file are also in the same folder where you copied the vpinballx.exe file.

[pincade]

DLL has been decompressed on VP Folder with the VPX.exe

VBS has been decompressed on Tables Folder

 

I've tried to download rom for these tables but it crashes in the final loading process.

 

Maybe I should try a clean installation of VPX, because now I'm using the same VP9.2 / VP9.9 folder...

 

EDIT:

 

I've tried a clean installation but same problem. Could be the VPinMame.dll?

This should still work though.. I also have all exes in there combined, from VP8 over VP9.1 to VP9.2.1 to VP9.9.1 and VP10..

Same here works fine

[Sindbad]

I just updated Buck Rogers, link remains the same.

 

- Fixed problem when mistakenly calling SoundAssiginBall routine during ball release - Thx BananaBoat

[randr]

I also updated my highly popular Mopar madness adjusted physics a bit changed gi wondering if anyone would like to try it and let me know if I made it worse or better.

Downloading!

randr... your table is very you lol nice table, great job. Sponsored by Mopar?

Ha! Physics ok? Still have a ton to do yet so very much a wip! But just converting a table that old to vp10 is a job!

[chepas]

This thread was deffo needed. Easy for things to get lost here and hard work to find again

 

Knocked up a small gui for launching .vpx tables. I'm going to want this for an option to update/adjust script when launching a table in time. Just as it is now is saving me lots of time.

If anyone has a use for it let me know and I'll adjust it and upload.

Table is fuel with awesomeness, very you.

 

Well ... it's a little difficult to say, the table is hard as f*k, but that's how those table are. Don't know if is the era or the ball have it's own brain. I mean, sometimes acts like its alive... on its own (maybe its how it interacts with all the walls?).  Flippers are very good.

Sounds are normalized? All in the same sound level? Have fades out?

IMO. One thing you could "improve" is those 2 little screens, you could put a looping drag race like its in the future or something (with effects, you know) I mean a video of something? Don't know how to tell,the idea is in my head lol

[chepas]

I have all tables. Thanks.

Standard edition loader for vpinball directory to scan tables folder.

[The Loafer]

... updated first post with relevant version numbers reflecting new updated tables.

 

Chepas:  I'll give your loader a try later, thanks for sharing.  Have to admit, looking at your table list is wetting my appetite for some of these upcoming releases!

[pincade]

Tried lates build, same problem!

 

It crashing when appears the "Starting Game Script"
