I took the liberty of filling in the countries of players who are on this forum

Hope you don't mind....

Go right ahead, DNA; if I hadn't wanted it known that I'm in The States, I'd have entered MARS (from where I may someday Rule The Universe! B-wah-ha-ha-ha-ha, etc.)

 

I like it!

 

Edit: How dictatorial of me---I mentioned liking it, but didn't hit the button on the way out. That discrepancy has been remedied.

I believe you are mistaken my good man.....i have some proof that says that you are in fact "dictator of the universe" and therefore already ruler of the universe..albeit in a dictatorial way......

Thnx ! Nice update ! More Dutch players have to play this. We have to beat those "pain, vin & fromage" people

 

Maybe you can make a FS Cup Country, cause there are people that don't play VP8 or VP9....and FS is of course the only way to play pinball...

Fs is the only mode i dont play cos i have no way of doing so, but i suck at pinball and my points would make little difference  . Also i play under Bagpuss1969 cos i forgot code for andyy119:)

So, i can put you in the united kingdom club?
You would be the biggest contributor....

Hi dave , long time no see.....
Kiddie challenge goes to 50 and the pinballx plugin is very easy and nice to use...better than my buggy frontend

Hope to see some scores from you

I decided to try and submit some monster bash scores, checked the VP9 (desktop) Hiscores and found only two, and opened PeH v2.1.2 but was told I didn't have the table ( .....(uw randr)(2.1)(LP)(DT)  ) even though I DO have it. So I looked at the PeH games file and saw that the default VP9 desktop is the uw.Loafer.LowRes version, so I downloaded it and wound up with a score that I submitted---successfully, I THOUGHT---but I can't find where it got logged.

 

 MBlowres-will it update.JPG   97.32KB   9 downloads

I did find the FS LowRes in the Retired section, but not the desktop.

 

If the LowRes version is being retired, I guess I should try switching to (2.1)(LP)(DT), but I have to edit the xml, right? Trouble is, whatever I may have read about doing so is somewhere in more than 1200 posts. Help?

 

 

Cheers in advance.....GSG

Hi Gregg,

 

The score of the lowres table can be found in the retired section.

If you see the FS version just click the tablename as it is a pulldown menu.

It will appear underneath the FS and you can select the desktop one.

 

But of course you would rather play the new version of Monsterbash.

It's quite easy to do.

Use a text editor to change the section Monster Bash in the games.xml

 

<game>
                 <name>Monster Bash</name>
                 <VP9>Monster Bash.VP9.V1.1.uw.Loafer.LowRes</VP9>
                 <VP8>Monster Bash Jamin 1.3</VP8>
                 <FS>Monster Bash.VP9.V1.1.uw.FS.LowRes</FS>
                 <execute></execute>

    </game>

 

Just delete the red part in your games.xml and then copy/paste the new tablename into it , making sure the rest of the line stays the same (the  <VP9> and  </VP9> bit that is)

oh and save the file of course

That's all you have to do.

 

I took the Cheers in advance but now I'm no feely welllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

That's all you have to do.

The long, mostly un-spaced title made Notepad break(?) at the space between Monster and Bash; I alternately tried breaking at the space between uw and randr. In both cases, this is how games.xml wound up:

 

<game>

  <name>Monster Bash</name>

  <VP9>Monster Bash(Williams)(1998)(uw randr)(2.1)(LP)(DT)</VP9>

  <VP8>Monster Bash Jamin 1.3</VP8>

  <FS>Monster Bash.VP9.V1.1.uw.FS.LowRes</FS>

  <execute>ALT</execute>

  </game>

 

I still "do not appear to have this table", so I'm obviously missing something. I didn't copy/paste, but I believe this to be the way it's spelled and spaced both in my VP Tables file and the PINemHI Leaderboards. N'est-ce pas?

Was ist los?

Ay, caramba!

 

And, of course, Cheers!

[DedRok_V]

Just updated the supported tables (VP) to their newest versions !

These new versions will now count for the cupscores

The hiscores made with the earlier versions can be found at the retired hiscores , but you can still submit scores for them (only they don't count for the cupscore)

 

 

 

If you use the PINemHi LeaderBoard Frontend you can use this xml to have the newest tables (you will need to download them as well of course) :games.xml

The alternate exe is not filled in , so if you want to use another exe you have to adjust the xml file yourself !

Just put in ALT in executable field to make it work.

 

If you use the PINemHi LeaderBoard PLUGIN for PinballX then you can use these 2 custom xml files:

PINemHi LeaderBoard VP.xml

PINemHi LeaderBoard FP.xml

 

This will give you the selection of tables that are supported.

Only thing you need to do is activate your tables in the pinballx gamemanager (older versions of tables are in here as well).

They are not really needed as the plugin will also submit the scores from other xml files as long as the tablenames match.

But if you want a wheel of all the pinemhi supported tables it could be handy......

 

Have fun,

 

Dna Disturber

Thanks for the updates DNAD ..... hope to get on board and check it out soon.

 

Wow, been away for a long time .... how am I still at the top of the VP9 cup tree.

Cant wait to start getting back into playing again ..... 6 more months of the real pin comps then I'm done, and back to VP.

You should use the downloaded tablename.
I think you probably missed a space or something
Best way is to copy the name from the table and then paste it in the games.xml
This way it can't go wrong

Bram Stoker's Dracula 8-step GI FS Lighting and BMPR Physics MOD 1.04.2
 
Big Bang Bar FS 2.0

Big Bang Bar doesn't save the players scores in the nvram as it would seem.
Only the hiscores get saved not the lastest scores
So at this point this can't be added
Perhaps there is still some pieces missing in writing to the nvram (from pinmame)
Or it never existed even on the real pinball

Bram stokers dracula i haven't added because it contains a ' in the filename which messes things up.

Just updated the supported tables (VP) to their newest versions !
These new versions will now count for the cupscores
The hiscores made with the earlier versions can be found at the retired hiscores , but you can still submit scores for them (only they don't count for the cupscore)

Not very strange....the scores are difficult to beat
Can't wait to see your monsterscores again.

Ok didn't know about BBB, maybe every capcom is the same?

 

It's not too much trouble to rename the table to remove the ' if that's all that it is.

Yes , the capcom roms i looked at didn't have them.

Could add the dracula one without the ' , will have a look when i update again

Hey DNA,

 

Looks like Future Pinball isn't much played by Pinemhi players after all....only 3 people including yourself.

Maybe also because you can only play it from PinballX. And not everybody wants to change to that frontend if everything's working perfect in HyperPin.

 

But an update for games.xml for Visual Pinball will be appreciated for a lot of people so the hardcore Pinemhi players can play it from your Pinemhi Frontend !!

I know I already asked you before, but maybe you can have another look at my updated wish-list :  https://www.dropbox.com/s/i0kjs3w3z35y4uy/games%20addon.xml

 

Thanks in advance !

I don't really think it would make a difference.
There aren't many players who regularly use it.
It would take much time to include future pinball in the pinemhi leaderboard frontend.
In pinballx everything is already taken care of, i only needed to make a plugin.

It takes time to add games even more time to add them to the pinemhi leaderboard frontend as well.
As the numbers of players is on the low side i' m not sure if i'm gonna put all the hours in to add new games (at this moment)
It's easy to replace the tables of existing ones in pinemhi leaderboard so occasionally i can update the tables to their newer versions.
The number of roms supported is already 300+

Still need to finish my cab as well and update pinemhi to also work with the sam roms.
So much things to do so little time
