thanks for the update! Always a joy to see something like this! 

[freneticamnesic]

This is looking great! 

[gear323]

Wow.  Keeps getting better and better.  Thanks for update Freezy, very exciting stuff.  Looks awesome!

Just a short example how you'd import and hook up a vanilla VPX table. Agreed it's a "simple" table, but you don't need to code and once it's documented it should be pretty easy for anyone to do.

Looks like a really great tool, can't wait to see what the table creators can do with it.

 

How will the performance be? 4K120hz or 120fps possible?

 

Imagine raytracing at 4K120fps !!! That really should be the benchmark!

 

Surely a static view of a table with raytracing enabled wouldn't use that much resources? are there optimizations that could be done to keep raytracing on and get the fps?

problem with slingshot

 

[freezy]

I know. It's a mechanism that isn't done yet.

[fripounet]

ok.

 

you collaborate with mpf, if i install a dxf exporter on unity (reproduction of old pf, widebody difficult to obtain) the file will be exactly respectful of the original ?

have you otherwise made a dxf exporter, for digital machine tools?

Nope, but the vpx-js project has a GLTF convertor.

Hi Freezy, had an idea for VPE the other day.  What about Virtual Integrated Pinball Editor and Render? Doesn't really roll of the tongue, so Viper for short.  Won't be offended if you don't like it, had fun making a logo.

I'm kinda used to VPE now. Played around with Blender the other day:

 

[Slydog43]

I would buy that Neon and place it over my Cab if it existed

[Vanlon]

Yeah, Blender is fun.  I had to get that Viper idea out of my head for something to do on Easter.  Going to have to try out Neon one day, looks good.

 

That triangle logo you have in the background, I might have to try doing it in Billet, put some headers on the side and bolt a supercharger on top. (I'm a Mechanic)

I don't see this component in v0.0.1p54

 

Still figuring out how to connect the controls. Always receiving error messages like VisualPinball: VisualPinball.Unity.SwitchPlayer|Unmapped input command "Plunger".

 

Help would be highly appreciated.

[freezy]

Did you check the plugin doc?

 

It's probably a warning, no? It just means that VPE received a plunger input (probably you pressing enter), but that input isn't mapped to anything. Check doc of the wire and switch manager.

It's a waring, your're right.

 

I followed the guides on the your web site and set up Unity in the same way. My goal was to load a vpx file into Unity, wire it using the Mission Pinball Framework component and hit Play. I installed Python and the mpf Python package successfully. 

 

After loading the mpf package in Unity I do not get the component but a lot of error messages, like:

Please advise.

 

I've had this idea building a virtual pinball machine for a very long time, with a twist I'll tell you about later but I think if it works it's gonna be awesome.

 

Thanks a lot!

Hmm looks like it doesn't find the generated classes. No clue, need to have a look and reproduce.

[fripounet]

pouvons-nous appliquer les super effets de mpf showcreator avec les tables unity ?

can we apply the super effects of mpf showcreator with unity tables?

[freezy]

AFAIK the show creator applies to the lighting, so yes. MPF-MC is not yet integrated though.
