table runs great but flippers dont fire. I upgraded to todays dofconfig. 

 

Same here. Great table, thank you but my flipper solenoids don't fire. Bumpers and jets work just fine but no flippers.

 

Any ideas??? 

 

 

I can confirm the flippers do not activate DOF contactors. Went back to congo v1.1 and same problem persists. @arngrim has anything changed in recent dofconfig?

[arngrim]

the table changed, not the dof config, here is the fix

 

Sub SolLFlipper(Enabled)

    If Enabled Then

 '       PlaySound SoundFX("fx_flipperup",DOFFlippers), 0, 0.4, -0.05, 0.11

        PlaySound SoundFXDOF("FlipperUpLeft",101,DOFOn,DOFFlippers), 0, 0.4, -0.05, 0.0 'clark

        LeftFlipper.RotateToEnd

    Else

'        PlaySound SoundFX("fx_flipperdown",DOFContactors), 0, 0.4, -0.05, 0.11

        PlaySound SoundFXDOF("flipper_down",101,DOFOff,DOFFlippers), 0, 1, -0.05, 0.11 'clark

        LeftFlipper.RotateToStart

LeftFlipper.EOStorque = DefaultEOS

    End If

End Sub

 

'SoundFX("fx_flipperup",DOFContactors)

Sub SolRFlipper(Enabled)

    If Enabled Then

' PlaySound SoundFX("fx_flipperup",DOFFlippers), 0, 0.4, 0.05, 0.15

        PlaySound SoundFXDOF("FlipperUpLeft",102,DOFOn,DOFFlippers), 0, 0.4, 0.05, 0.0 'clark

DOF 102, DOFOn

RightFlipper.RotateToEnd

    Else

' PlaySound SoundFX("fx_flipperdown",DOFFlippers), 0, 0.4, 0.05, 0.15

        PlaySound SoundFXDOF("flipper_down",102,DOFOff,DOFFlippers), 0, 1, 0.05, 0.11 'clark

RightFlipper.RotateToStart

RightFlipper.EOStorque = DefaultEOS

    End If

End Sub

Nfozzy should update table too

[robertms]

Hey Fozzy, really digging the latest version. The visuals are top notch and the ball/flipper feel just perfect. Thank you for all your hard work on this one!

[numiah]

Thanks a gazillion.

She throws me an error on line 2179 (Variable undefined DOFtargets)

I'm on latest VPX and mame28b

DOFTargets variable was added in the newer versions of controller.vbs which came with VPX 10.2 released last week

 

Since you say you have the latest VPX version, then you forgot to update the VBS scripts including controller.vbs or you have old copy and new copy of controller.vbs in your table or scripts folder.  Delete the old one

Thanks for helping and pointing it out. I did oversee the .vbs that was hiding in the tables folder.

I'm not following this at all. What exactly do I need to change in the script to make the flippers DOF work? I'll try just copying this into the script....

[delt31]

So that didn't work. Anyone know how to make this work?

[STV]

Find the bits in the script that line up with what arngrim posted and replace them with his version.

[delt31]

so I tried again and I'm not sure what I'm missing.  Can someone with the corrected script PM me/upload it?  Would like to get flippers.  Thanks!

[gtxjoe]

Just open the Script and paste the modified code at the BOTTOM of the script.  The newer subroutines will be used (over-riding the original subroutines)

[delt31]

great thanks

[delt31]

So I did what you said (put at the bottom) and the flippers work but now my left flipper is automatically flipping by itself.  Very strange.

Parkinsons?

IIRC that was addressed somewhere in this thread.

[delt31]

I checked and it's not.  I looked at other websites and there is one with the same problem but no good answer for latest.  My question is if people with DOF got this latest version working without left flipper going crazy

[STV]

I just had a run through it and DOF yes, no crazy left flipper firing.   I did notice however when doing the grey battle and the pin pops up to hold the ball on the playfield that a solenoid clicks repeatedly while the pin is up and stops when the pin drops after the grey battle.

Could be a similar issue to your left flipper firing I suppose.

[yagesz]

update anyone
