Probably forgot to understand lock the dll and exe when you updated. Damn windows

Stupid spell check I meant to say unblock.

There is no "crash" .. the table simply flashes and then closes.

Just want to followup here and say that copying over the table to a "clean" new table seems to have fixed the problem and its now working on multiple installs. (Side note. VPX all in one installer has an older version of UltraDMD installed)

The new material color setting is fantastic!  Thanks Toxie!

I will check them again when I get home today and let you know.

Maybe it is something I did wrong on my end too... Sure wouldn't be the first time.

 

 

The newest VP Release breaks the flippers on every older table that I have tried so far.

 

Hmm.. I just tested with VP8.1, VP9.9.2 and VPX10.2.. All tables worked.. Any specific table you see issues with?

I wanted to know if there is a way to recall the value in the property of the panel,
of the bumper for example, directly in the script.

 
Something like that:

 
Bumper.Force = PanelValue

 
This is a request, if this feature does not exist.

 

Thanks

[toxie]

So, if you change the value in the script, that you could still get the original value from the editor?

 

No, thats not supported. It would also be quiet some work to add this to all the components that we have.

Couldn't you just save it on your own for the few elements you need at the beginning?

Interestingly rev2806 breaks PInballX for me with massive stutter. rev 2806 runs fine on its own. rev2800 runs smooth on PInballX and on its own

[ViriiGuy]

I reinstalled everything and all seems to be working fine now. Not sure what the issue was.

 

thanks,

You must be missing something because dmd working on all tables that support it.

Not supported,  uh oh.  Don't tell the scripts I have been using to do that... maybe not exactly one at a time, but for a collection.

Here is an example for bumpers.   Add your bumpers to a collection called "Bumpers", then add some script like this:

Dim ii, bf
	For Each ii in Bumpers
	bf = ii.force
	Next


Sub UpdateBF(bfNo, Object)
	dim bmpr
	Select Case bfNo
	 Case 1
			For Each bmpr in Bumpers
			bmpr.force = bmpr.force * 4 'or whatever value you want
			Next
	case 0
			For Each bmpr in Bumpers
			bmpr.force = bf 'sets back to the original values (even if they are all different)
			Next
	End Select
End Sub

I can change the force on all bumpers in the collection by running the sub with the case variable of 1 or set them back to their original values back by running with case 0.  ie:  

sub Trigger_hit
     UpdateBF 1, Bumpers
end Sub

Sub Trigger_unhit
     UpdateBF 0, Bumpers
End Sub

Hope that helps.

huh?

    For Each ii in Bumpers
    bf = ii.force
    Next

 

That just overwrites bf a bunch of times and keeps the last one :-)

[sliderpoint]

Doh!!  Your right.  Thought it was too easy.

It is absolutely not a requirement, I can always use traditional methods, such as those posted by Sliderpoint and Allknowing.
I use just this

 
Const BumpersPower = 8

Bumper1 = BumpersPower
Bumper2 = BumpersPower

[nFozzy]

Yeah just keep it in a variable or constant

 

dim defaultbumperthreshold :defaultbumperthreshold = bumper1.threshold

Same over here.

Can we get this added as TriggerWireD?  OBJ link

Thats exactly why I came to this thread.   I'm having the same problem.  Outside of PinballX it's fine, but inside it's stutter hell.   Thought maybe I screwed something up on my cab when playing with video settings.   Was even reverting video drivers and such.    Glad to know it's not just me!

[fuzzel]

rev2815 is up:

 

- disable visual feedback completely for touch/pen input for the player to save a bit of latency
- as the original FrameQueueLimiter code is mostly counter-productive nowadays, replace it with the official DX mechanism on non-XP systems
- Updating core.vbs to support up to 68 solenoids to align it with CORE_SOLMOD_MAX
- Patch by DJRobX for modulated solenoids via UseVPMModSol (core.vbs)
 

Can we get this added as TriggerWireD?  OBJ link

 

 

Thanks

-Mike

I'll see what I can do

So I don't know what the hell this problem is, but for me it's NOT the VPX build.   I rolled back my cab as far back as VPX 10.1 and it still happens.  Also checked core.vbs/controller.vbs and vpinmame versions.       The PinballX version hasn't changed either.   I'm at a loss.
