i even tried it now without the .pre/.post cmds 

it worked with backglasses  !

World Poker Tour  

World Joker Tour

 

maybe it depends on the b2s server version ? 

i use

b2s-server 2.5.0.321 x64

vpx 10.8.0.2049 x64

vpinmame 3.6.0.1211 x64

Disabling b2s in the "Keys, Nudge and DOF" menu solved most of the lighting problems but the flashers on the slingshots still won't work properly.

I have no problems disabling b2s since I'm playing on desktop.

The problem with the flashers in freneticanmesic table (and Bigus mods too) is because those table are using my fading lights routine, and they are using the lights numbers 122, 123, 132 and 133 for those flashers. Those numbers were not used in the old vpinmame, but now, in the new vpinmame, those numbers belong to lights and the rom is controlling those lights. That's why the flashers will not work fine on those tables until the code is updated.  They may work sometimes, but not all the time.

 

If you send me the script I can fix it for you. It is a matter of using other numbers instead of those.

Yes, just updated today and with 10.8 final and 3.6 final it did not work until I updated to b2s 2.1.3

Curious if it's just me - DOF for the flippers (only) do not work on this table for me. I did try upgrading to the newest backglass sever just in case. I'm on 10.8 release.

Maybe try updating the B2S server to the latest version, 2.1.3, from here:

 

Release B2S Server v2.1.3 · vpinball/b2s-backglass · GitHub

Yeah this is the version I updated to, but no luck. Weird...

I do not have DOF, so I don't know what can be happening, as it is a ROM based table, so it should work. But updating the B2S could have been a solution

No issues with playability so not really a problem. I did have this similar issue a long time ago randomly when I was on early beta's of 10.8 but it eventually went away as the beta's progressed. I'm sure I have a weird version conflict for something somewhere. It'll clear up eventually!

I also was having the same problem with Bigus mod of freneticamnesic table, sometimes it worked with VPX8 and sometimes I had to go back to VPX7.2 to get to work. I saw the script in Bigus and freneticamnesic tables and I thought "why so complicated script?" and I thought about to build the table myself. While searching for resources I found this World Joker Tour table and I thought I should make it with those graphics.

 

I built the table using VPX8 RC4 and an older vpinmame 3.6 beta. They were not absolute the latest revisions, and after 11 days the table was working perfectly.

 

Today I decided to update to the latest revision of VPX8 and vpinmame, so I downloaded the latest VPX8 Master:

Merge pull request #1935 from mjrgh/FrontEndControls-10.8.0 · vpinball/vpinball@21ff0b3

and I downloaded the 4 versions, x86, x64 and the GL versions

 

And the latest vpinmame from here:

Release v3.6.0-1122-79a301d · vpinball/pinmame

and I also downloaded both the x86 and x64.

Although I only downloaded the SC versions.

 

VPX8 gave me the error that hidapi.dll was missing and also the VPX8 x64 also was missing the hidapi64.dll. So I searched for an answer, and it looks like VPX8 Master revisions is missing those dll from the zip, but the 10.8.1 has them. So, I downloaded the latest 10.8.1 and unpacked those 2 dll into the VP folder, and VPX8 worked fine.

 

I also installed the latest C++ runtimes, from here: Download Visual C++ Redistributable Runtimes All-in-One Oct 2024 | TechPowerUp

 

I also downloaded the latest Nvidia driver, which came out yesterday: GeForce Game Ready Driver 566.03 | Windows 11 | NVIDIA, revision 566,03 for Windows 11.

 

Windows 11 is also updated.

 

And I tested the table, and it still worked fine. 

 

So, what's the problem with that rom? I don't know. I also have had that same problem with the Bigus table that it hangs right after the displaying of the red leds, and sometimes it only worked with VPX7.2, but now it is also working with these latest versions. The problem has been intermittent, one day it worked and another day it didn't.

 

My table uses just a normal plain script, no strange hacks, nothing special, and it works with the latest revisions of the programs. So, what's the problem? I don't know, but it doesn't seem related only to VPX or vpinmame. 

 

optimization is not something I ever learned

Wonderful table, one more time ! (I used Hauntfreaks' fantastic b2s image to build this backdrop)   

 

No reels on this one ! 

 

Did you notice that, on the logo, you could read "JP" between the "W" and the "T" ?
