The VP9 version works for me

I just tried with dboy's Playboy 35th and the flippers did not move, I only changed UseSolenoids = 2 , since "vpmInit Me" is already in place.

Could you try this table script in badcats (1.2)?

Let me know which specific line is causing the error

 

now i have this error (I notice that one and line 1 script error when I press start button)

 

line 2723:

 

"If aEnabled then execute SubL & " " & FlipState(0) : execute SubR & " " & FlipState(1) : execute subUL & " " & FlipState(2) : execute subUR & " " & FlipState(3)"

Wild guess, could it be that 'False' isn't a safe value to use with vbscript's execute for some localization reason?

I was hoping this would do it for Jaws because I do have my games in seperate folders. Always get the make sure a flipper is pressed but how to do that with the debuuger open.

[nFozzy]

Bring the game back into focus, press left flipper button, then run the debug command again

 

Jaws is an original right? Yeah I have no idea if that's even possible. Is there a lot of flipper lag to begin with? Is this even necessary?

[chepas]

Yes, it's the same thing, it's mimicking the VPMame controller.

 

This part I need to look at and maybe something can be adjusted here. The interesting line is , wpc95.

 

if self.game.machine_type == pinproc.MachineTypeWPC95:
vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+31].curr_state

    def getCoilStates(self):
        """ Gets the current state of the coils. """
        if(self.GameIsDead):
            raise COMException(desc=self.ErrorMsg,scode=winerror.E_FAIL)

        pycoils = self.game.proc.drivers
        vpcoils = [False]*64
    
        if(self.Sys11 == True):
            ACState = pycoils[12+39].curr_state

        for i in range(0,len(vpcoils)):

            if i < 33:
                if(self.Sys11!=True):
                    if i<=28: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+39].curr_state
                    elif i<=32: vpcoils[i] = False # Unused?

                else: # do the relay lying here...
                    if i<=8: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+39].curr_state and (ACState == False)
                    elif i<=24: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+39].curr_state
                    elif i<=32: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+39].curr_state and (ACState == True)

            # Use the machine's Hold coils for the VP flippers
            # since they stay on until the button is released
            elif i == 34: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[pinproc.decode(self.game.machine_type, "FURH")].curr_state
            elif i == 36: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[pinproc.decode(self.game.machine_type, "FULH")].curr_state
            elif i<44:
                if self.game.machine_type == pinproc.MachineTypeWPC95:
                    vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+31].curr_state
                else: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+107].curr_state
            elif i == 46: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[pinproc.decode(self.game.machine_type, "FLRH")].curr_state
            elif i == 48: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[pinproc.decode(self.game.machine_type, "FLLH")].curr_state
            else: vpcoils[i] = pycoils[i+108].curr_state

        return vpcoils    

Maybe I need enable this coil in game code.

Got it, muhahaha

[Rajo Joey]

As I wrote at vpinball, I have all tables in the table-folder and I have the same problem with "Star Wars - Empire strikes back".

With usesolenoids=19 flippers doesn't work. I have to change it to usesolenoids=1 and it's OK.

But I see no difference between fast flippers on or off. With F11 the display shows the same by pressing the button.

[xenonph]

I just tried this out with F11 to see if there was a difference.

There is a huge difference!!

Without the FastFlips or “UseSolenoids=1”

The speed of left flipper averages in teens. Lowest it got was 3.2 I think.

 

With the FastFlips or “UseSolenoid=19”

The speed of left flipper averages between 0.4 and 0.8, with 0.8 being the slowest!

 

There is a huge boost of speed on the flippers!!

I don't know why it is not working for some who have downloaded this sound mod.

Your scripts may be outdated. It's built in such a way that tables will still continue to work without the new scripts.

 

This also happens if 'vpminit me' isn't called in the table script

Just to be sure, I install the scripts from the 10.4 (24.12.2017) again. Nothing changed.

No flippers with usesolenoid=19; works with =1.

And here are the difference with or without vpminit me.

Sorry, I misread what you posted. Yes dead flippers would mean that core.vbs is working, but possibly not hankin.vbs which handles flipper inputs in this case. Do any other tables work?

 

Do any other solenoids work, is the game playable with usesolenoids = 1?

[jesperpark]

Just for Information sake, I tried Empire Strikes Back sound mod, and I am seeing the same results as Xenoph.  I am in the 2-3 ms range where i was 19 or so beforehand, nice work Nfozzy!!

I tested it with 32assassin's Empire-table and FJ (Hankin 1978). Both with the same results.

usesolenoids=19 flippers not working; usesolenoids=1 both works.

@Joey2001,

 

Can you do a search of your hard drive for core.vbs and share the results?  You're not the only person with this not working and I think it's important for us to rule out possible causes.

 

Thanks!

No problem. I have only one core.vbs. It's the v3.55. See picture.

Thank you.  Next, can you copy your scripts folder to your tables folder ... just as an experiment, and see if that makes a difference?

[Slydog43]

I was having trouble adding fastflips to TAF last night.  Anyone have that table working?

[GInsonic]

Same here, all scripts from new brand new version 10.5 beta, and copying to the tables folder made no difference
