[Mike DA Spike]

Euh .. think I need to change my name  ..... does Wiess da Spike be a good name, or Scutters Da Spike ?

But, look son real DMD pretty awesome !
Don't forget to turn off the Vpinmame externall DLL usage to use FlexDMD


 

 
Or...
Mykal de poepende tulpeneter met de klompen?
Oder mit? hmmm one of the two
 
 
And the DMD i just uploaded is much cooler
 

I will download it, when it is available.
Did you noticed that scutters also made it multilanguage? It follows your appron language settings

Too bad no Dutch.
Poepende Tulpeneter? That sounds good to me as well

No, no Dutch, only Nederlander
But that option is hidden, only special peoples can see it.
You have to wish really hard and believe Mike

 

Actually, if you export HH Apron-en.webp
And translate that, and then make another transparent vector text image that matches it in size / shape
add the image, and another text option
not that hard to add another language, and the DMD part is easy, just needs more options for ball and credit translation.

 

Trouble is, the Instructions are natively in Portuguese only
I do not read that well at all (and the damned manuals what there is of them, are ALL in Portuguese)

I translate it to English, and it suddenly makes no sense to me, and then i have to read it eleventy one times till i can make sense of it and then rewrite it
in actual english.

I'm not going to try that in Nederlandish, it will only be worse LOL, then i will have to think 3 times on how to properly phrase something.
You can give it a try though, if you can get it where it makes sense to you, i'm sure we can come up with a graphic for it

You know how to make a Dutch guy happy Scutters ! Not sure if mrs Scutters like that idea, but mrs Da Spike get used to it, that other mans make me happy

At a glance, it looks like maybe you did a partial upgrade?
EXE but not the scripts?
Or you have scripts in the table folder that do not belong

 

10.7 you want to take scripts and all, only exception is if you have custom edited vpmkeys.vbs, you can keep your existing one

 

And you most likely want no scripts in table folder.

 

The LUT method is almost the same method that JP uses, aside from being assigned to the fire button

No, mine is definitely much cooler
It says Scutters at startup

[Redwings13]

I dragged everything from the 10.7 rev338 download into visual pinball folder.

I went into tables folder and see nothing on the scripts being in the table folder.

Anything blocking scripts? AV or anything?

 

No reason i can think of you should get that error
 

Try on JP's recent table Fifteen
tell me if you dont get the same error on it?

[Redwings13]

I had to install Fifteen first(nice table BTW).  It played really nice with no problem.

Did you change the LUT?

[Redwings13]

I didn’t touch the lut?  Not sure what lut is……light brightness?

It is the same thing you are crashing on in haunted hotel

but in JP's table it takes 2 keys pressed
Both, magnasave keys i think, read his table instructions but i think it is HOLD left magnasave key
and then tap right magnasave key to cycle?

 

So try changing the LUT and see if you get same crash in Fifteen

[Redwings13]

You are right, I get the same crash on fifteen when I hit the magnasave buttons.

on haunted hotel when I hit magnasave it doesn’t crash. It crashes when I hit launch button.

[Redwings13]

I hit magnasave buttons on several tables and they all crashed.

I was told earlier today to get rid of the globalplugin.vbs out of the script folder for haunted hotel. I did that and the error went away. But no ball in the plunger.

I put the globalplugin.vbs back in the script after that just to keep it the way I had it.

now after talking to you I took the globalplugin.vbs back out script folder and all the tables seem like they’re ok now when I hit the magnasave buttons.  Except haunted house, the balls won’t eject to the plunger.

[wiesshund]

on haunted hotel when I hit magnasave it doesn’t crash. It crashes when I hit launch button.

That is because you have launch set up some how to be the lockbar fire button
which that itself is not a problem

 

For right now, you can comment out the key down for lockbar key in the script

	if keycode=LockbarKey Then 
	NextLUT
	end if

If you need to change the LUT (basically light/color level)
you can pick one  by

Click backglass button in editor

Click visuals tab on properties window

Change color grading lookup table

 

In order of Darkest to Brightest

(ignore code, just look at the file names)

Case 0: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_0"
Case 1: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_1"
Case 2: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_2"
Case 3: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_3"
Case 4: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_4"
Case 5: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_5"
Case 6: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_6"
Case 7: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_7"
Case 8: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_8"
Case 9: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_9"

Case 10: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_9_Lite"
Case 11: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_8_Lite"
Case 12: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_7_Lite"
Case 13: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_6_Lite"
Case 14: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_5_Lite"
Case 15: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_4_Lite"
Case 16: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_3_Lite"
Case 17: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_2_Lite"
Case 18: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_1_Lite"
Case 19: Haunted_Hotel.ColorGradeImage = "_ColorGrade_0_Lite"

I have no globalplugin.vbs, not even sure what that is?
If it does not come from Toxie of Fuzzel with VPX, i dont have it.

Do you know what that script goes to?

What happens if you back up your scripts folder, then empty it of everything, and only put in the scripts that come with 10.7's zip file?

[Redwings13]

I comment out those 3 lines and when I add coins I get no ball.

[wiesshund]

I comment out those 3 lines and when I add coins I get no ball.

does it use the coin?

 

If it does not use the coin, which coin slots are represented on your cabinet?

 

Unlike some other pinball controllers, by the time LTD got done wiring this up, that has 1 single input left to handle coin slots
so it only has coin slot 1
it does not have a slot 2 or a slot 3

The machine translation takes care of making slot 2 mimic slot one, but i suspect your VPM keys is stock and you may only have
coin slot 3 represented on your cab?
If your coin up button equates to 5 (standard MAME coin input for like ever and a day)
then you only have when VPM sees as coin slot 3

That is EASY to fix

open visual pinball\scripts\VPMKeys.vbs in notepad

 

Find these

Const keyInsertCoin1	 = 4   '(3)		Insert coin in slot 1
Const keyInsertCoin2	 = 5   '(4)		Insert coin in slot 2
Const keyInsertCoin3	 = 6   '(5)		Insert coin in slot 3
Const keyInsertCoin4	 = 7   '(6)		Insert coin in slot 4

Ok found them?
See how 5 is actually physical coinslot 3?

Swap coin slot 3 and coin slot 1's values

Now hitting 5 is coin slot 1, which will work on any other table also.

 

If you have multiple coin slots represented on your cab, just make 5 represent slot 1 and your other switch represent slot 2

 

That will not effect any of your other tables, this is only used to tell VPM
which button represents which coin slot, if the ROM happens to care (this ROM cares cause it only has 1 coin switch)

[Redwings13]

I just turned cabinet off, it’s my bedtime.  
tomorrow when I mess with this I hope it fixes the problem. I wasn’t sure if this table was suppose to be free play or not.
