but thats how a real coindoor works. the switch is on if the coindoor is closed, and off when open.

always pressing a key should not have negative aspects as long as an application does not handle this key.

[Talantyyr]

oh... ok, didn't know that.

But it does have a negative effect... You can't open a browser / text editor / stuff like this anymore without having the coin door open as it will always scroll to the end... Don't know of any other sideeffects now...

[toxie]

Hmmm.. I can add another variable then to switch the behavior there..

[Talantyyr]

Wow, this would be sooo nice of you! I highly appreciate that!

[toxie]

its implemented and i will commit this later-on. so this should be in the next update of the VP10 alpha/beta thread then (in vpmkeys.vbs there is a new "inverseKeyCoinDoor" that you must set to true in your case).

[Talantyyr]

Thank you sooo much, toxie! This saves me a lot of trouble!

[toxie]

JSYK: the new build with the new vbs files was released in the VP10 thread..

[Talantyyr]

Thank you, it's working perfectly!

[Sir Cheddar]

Thanks, Toxie. Works like a charm on my build.

[toxie]

I just uploaded a new build.

 

It only has a tiny change that was still on my todo list: Force disable of the 'normal' DMD window.

Remove the checked Setup->Set Defaults->Use DMD box if you want to override the settings that VP tables set.

Cool that means I won't have to edit every table to hide it anymore?

[toxie]

Yes...

[Talantyyr]

Thx for the explanation, i read the update and didn't understand what that feature is for

That's great, will be very helpful for my cab!

[mpad]

Yes...

Sweet!

[Slydog43]

wow thats a great new feature, thanks

Feature request for VPM:

Gottlieb System 80B general illumination - is it possible to emulate this?

[toxie]

Hmmm.. Don't know.. Gaston is the specialist for the core emulation, so please contact him about it..

 

There is a new build in the first post, two new things:

- DCS optimizations for JD, STTNG and IJ by mjr

- switched build to visual studio 2013 (hopefully with no side-effects, otherwise let me know)

[arngrim]

my latest build is with vs 2013, no issues reported

- switched build to visual studio 2013 (hopefully with no side-effects, otherwise let me know)

 

Just out of curiosity, does that also mean you're building against a current DirectX version as well?  I was just lamenting the fact recently that in order to build VPinMAME 2.5, I had to track down a hacked-up DX7 package since there is no compatible distribution from Microsoft anymore.

[arngrim]

still dx7, but the purpose is to not use directx at all and vp handles the display of vpm directly, like unity is doing it
