chepas;

Bookmarking http://www.pinemhi.com/hiscores.php worked for me; bury it in the pulldown as I did, or put it in plain sight in the Bookmarks toolbar.

I guess I don't have to mention the desktop shortcut for Start PINemHi, as probably everybody uses it.....I don't suppose you can 'extend desktop' to Hyperpin? (Just pipedreaming)

Welcome to the chase!

Yeah I can bookmark, but what I had trouble with was when I wasn't at my machine and trying to setup some more people at their houses.

Googling trying to find it takes more than what it should do. On two different occasions I had to do all the searching to find the site again.

Now I know the site having been there a few times it's not a problem anymore , just an idea because I like to shorten anytime on a pc.

Ah. Jolly good.

[chepas]

If you want a quick way to add this into Hyperpin, here's how I'm launching it.

Make an entry in the Visual Pinball xml and add the tablename PinEmHi (or whatever name you like)

Make a dummy PinEmHi.vpt table file in the hyperpin visual pinball tables folder.

You can add the following into the FPlaunch.ahk under RUN SYSTEM and compile with autohotkey b.

;------------------------------------------------------------------------------;
;								 RUN SYSTEM								 ;
;------------------------------------------------------------------------------;

if (tablename = "PinEmHi") {
Run, "%A_ScriptDir%\START PINemHi_Leaderboard.exe"
Process, WaitClose, START PINemHi_Leaderboard.exe
WinWaitClose, START PINemHi_Leaderboard.exe ahk_class AutoHotkeyGUI
Sleep, 1000
WinActivate, HyperPin ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC
ExitApp
}

;**********************************FUTURE PINBALL***********************************

Tested a couple of tables and seems to be all good.

You need to extract the leaderboards contents into the main hyperpin directory. Where something's hard coded into DNAs launcher it gives errors for his hotkeys, running from main directory fixes this. Had the same trouble for Hyperspin where it needs to be extracted to the main directory there too.

Great to hear that you got it working.
Didn't think it could be done .....great find on the dummy vpt to make it work.

I have all the scores printing to table name text , so that can be used for HyperDMD use or the gui you made.

Also if you remember me asking you on hyperspin about getting the scores to display when you scroll through the games, I've managed to do that now but having trouble with getting the gui to not dissapear when it pops up.

When I get a bit more time I'll look into a bit more. Same with hyperpin , hyperspin can be used with HyperDMD to display scores on that.

I am glad to see that this program is constantly improving, but the new version is less stable in my opinion and some hiscores do not appear on the site. Can`t wait for the new update with... new tables of coz =) I think it would be great to add (and update) this:

1) Updated tables from JP (Taxi, LOTR(!), Elvis, Elvira, TOTAN, Circus V., White Water, Ripleys )

2) Latest mod of CFBL

3) Robo War (by kevinleedrum) - very nice table!

4) Gilligan's Island (FS Mod VP913) v1.21 (by epthegeek and rob046 )

5) Pinball Pool (some oldschool by unclewilly)

6) Xenon (FS 1.1) (by unclewilly)

7) Teed-off (by JP)

 

All of these tables are very balanced and fun to play.

Hi Maxixxl,

It shouldn't be less stable.... If this happens with the older tables ( harlem globetrotters etc.) then it's because the last modification time for files is not set to on.
You can read how to turn it on in the instructions.

I could do an update of the newer versions of the tables in the near future.
LOTR is only megapin (had to choose one and there where already a lot of tables from JPSALAS)

I haven't had a lot of time lately to work on the program unfortunately..

Hi Dna!

One more great table to update: Indianapolis 500 http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=6871  A lot of improvements!

BTW I think we need to reset all hi-scores on the updated tables, as many tables (like new Taxi) are much more different/difficult to play. We can even reset ALL scores in 2013 and start a new season!

 

More nice tables to add:

 

Freddy: A Nightmare On Elm Street (unclewilly) http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=5838

 

Black Knight   http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=5377

 

Also there is update for World Cup Soccer 94  http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=6621

 

I hope this information will help and save your time. Long live PINemHi!

Hi maxixxl,

Every table that is being replaced because of an update will have an empty list of scores.
The outdated scores can be found in the retired hiscores section.

I'm working on an FS version first..
After that i will look at updating some of the tables...

And thanks for the support

TO DNA DISTURBER and others:

 

I must have registered awhile ago, cause it says ANDROID is already in use, however I dont have a code to enter the PINemHI leaderboard ini file.  could you message me that code, i am assuming that the ANDROID listed is me.  However I think I shouldn't Ass U Me anything yet!!

Unfortunately I renamed all my full screen tables with  FS- in front of all the FS tables instead of at the end so they would sort separately from the regular tables.

I suppose I will have to change them back.  I was afraid that the VP executable wouldnt find them if I had a subfolder named FStables, or PINemHI for that matter.

I will search for the table list within the Pinemhi download,  I sorted all games without the word THE in front ie... FS-Addam's Family instead of TAF-FS.  So I think that I will have to do a major renaming project.   I will try filling in some of those scores.

                                                                             Later all

Hi ANDROID,

 

I've sent you an email with your code.

Also here is the link to the thread from sternrulez with the download links for the FS-tables:

Keep up the good work,

I just made a FS version

Maybe someone could test it out (resolution 1920x1080 recommended)

 

Here is the link to the download (wheelimages are included so 15 Mb).

no link as a new improved version can be found a few posts down

[Maxixxl]

And another important updates for:

1) Star Wars http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=7176

2) TOM http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=6697

3) Updated link for Black Knight http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=5377

4) New table - BBB http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=6395

5) New table - Haunted House http://www.vpforums....s&showfile=6578

 

Also it seems that some tables dont send the hi-scores to the server. I dont know it's at random or not. (

Have you checked the timestamp option I mentioned in a previous post?
If it's not on you're gonna have problems with the older tables ( pre 1982's)

Which tables are having these problems?

[Maxixxl]

I have hi-score problem with modern tables too.

 

Which tables are having these problems?

TOM, Earthshaker, White Water.. Flintstones...

http://members.ziggo...rd FS v2.01.zip

 

Looks like the FS version works as expected. There is some oddity with the wheel image, on each side there is extra "stuff".on the right, a vertical bar if white and on the left traces of rounded corners.

 

After playing a bit it looks like it does report scores just fine.  I didn't try the 5 minute mode yet but other than the wheel image oddity it seems to work.

 

One wish I might have is for it to recognize the cabinet buttons like Hyperpin.  Not have to use the keyboard.

What do you exactly mean with recognize?
You can remap a lot of the keys in the ini-file... Do you still miss any?
Or is it something completely different?
What resolution did you use on the fs-version ?.. Just asking cause i didn't have the graphical wheel image oddity
Thanks for trying it out by the way.

In my case, PinemHi recognizes the keys on an attached keyboard (wireless keyboard) but my cabinet buttons do nothing to interact with PinemHi. They work just fine after a table is selected but to change from table to table or start a game I have to use the keyboard.  I use the Mot-ion Plunger/adapter in a VirtuaPin cabinet.  Can the keys can be mapped to use the Mot-ion adapter?  
 
The resolution on the cabinet is 1920 x 1080 using an Nvidia Gforce GTX 460.
