All fixed it seems I was using the wrong version of autohotkey. Must use the anci 32 version not Unicode.

[DJRobX]

I recently upgraded my cab to Win8.1.  I wanted to share that on this build, the best setting to fix focus problems turned out to be something less than obvious:

 

useFocus = none

 

On my previous XP build, the internal was fine.   On my Win7 build, the external was the best/fastest. 

 

I noticed that FPLaunch's attempts to gain focus on Win8.1 (both internal and external) were actually causing the focus to be lost on this system.    By just setting it to none, the table exit is just as fast as it was under XP!  I'm using the VP9 DX9 build only, I haven't tested with Future Pinball.

[Horrible]

it's a known bug, will be fixed in next release, it happens when instruction are called twice
 
quick fix is to find these lines:

if (ending = "swf") { ; we have swf image
    Width := A_ScreenHeight*0.95
    Height := A_ScreenHeight*0.95

    ;SysGet, VirtualWidth, 78
    ;SysGet, VirtualHeight, 7

    ;Gui, 1: Destroy

and remove comment from last line and recompile with ahk L - ansi version

Is there a plan for an update?

All the best

I just got around to installing wip 10 having a bit of a problem

The tables load fine but on exit a box pops up:

FPLaunch.exe
You are missing ledcontrole file. Refer to the documentation text to fix this.

Not sure where I should go from here. Please help. :-) also, where is the documentation text? In the folder there is a hyperpin-help-file but it says nothing about ledcontrole.

A side note I have an ledcontrole file in my tables folder not sure if that's what it's talking about... sigh I wish it was all just plug and play.. lol

[BigBoss]

Open up fplaunch.ahk in notepad and search for that error message. It should at least show you where it's looking for that file

[ICPjuggla]

BigBoss I can open the .ahk file but its all gibberish to me... lol

 

I was running wip9 with no problems and when I upgraded to wip10 all hell broke loose..

 

I wanted to make the switch from 9 to 10 to define what exe I want to run per table..

looks like you are pressing toggle ledwiz key? just put it to something else in your setting.ini

 

this is what toggle does, it moves some files around (files which turn ledwiz on or off)

 

toggleFeedback:

toLog("Toggle Feedback Called")

; Checking to see if feedback is disabled.  If so, enabled it.

IfExist %tablePath%ledcontrol.feedback.ini

{

IfExist %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini

{

FileMove, %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini, %tablePath%ledcontrol.nofeedback.ini

if ErrorCount > 0

MsgBox %ErrorCount% %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini could not be renamed to %tablePath%ledcontrol.nofeedback.ini.

}

FileMove, %tablePath%ledcontrol.feedback.ini, %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini

if ErrorCount > 0

MsgBox %ErrorCount% %tablePath%ledcontrol.feedback.ini could not be renamed to %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini.

}

else IfExist %tablePath%ledcontrol.nofeedback.ini

{

toggleImage = %picDir%feedback2.png

IfExist %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini

{

if ErrorCount > 0

MsgBox %ErrorCount% %tablePath%ledcontrol.nofeedback.ini could not be renamed to %tablePath%ledcontrol.ini.

}

else

{

MsgBox %ErrorCount% You are missing a ledcontrol file.  Refer to the documentation to fix this.

Okay blur that makes sense... :-)

I guess my next question is:

my controls have now been switched in hyperpin on its own.

For some reason I can't use my start button (1) to exit the screen list, that's how I had it set up years ago. It's making me use the launch button (enter) now.

how do I map this screen only? all other screens work as intended. I know I need to change something in the settings.ini file but what exactly do I change?

With the latest FPLaunch, I believe if you press exit, you get the menu, but if you press and hold Exit, you will get a 3...2...1 countdown and it will exit back to Hyperpin

[ICPjuggla]

gtx, I can exit the table to this screen

 image.jpg   85.77KB   8 downloads

Once at this screen I can no longer use my exit button (1) it's making me use my launcher button (enter)

I'd like to switch that for only this screen to (1) and not (enter) I can't figure out what exactly to switch in the settings.ini

[gtxjoe]

Here is my hyperpin settings.  Look at the FPLaunch section, you can see I have 2 buttons assigned for exit - 1 and Enter, so this let's me press my Start key or Launch key to select Exit from the Menu.

[ICPjuggla]

Thank you gtx I'll check it out on my cab.

I'm starting to think I have it mapped right but as blur said I think I just need to re-map the toggle key.

I've un-installed everything and starting over... lol

[blur]

You can't use exit key for exiting the game.

 

exit key opens the exit menu - if you press it again it closes exit menu and gets you back to game

 

to really exit the game you use enter key as gtxjoe said

 

you have possibility to have two exit keys and two enter keys, exit is usually esc or e and enter key is 1 or enter, but if you have controller that sends joystick buttons you can use one key from keyboard and one button from joystick (that's the main reason you have two of them)

 

so in your case - you should probably remove 1 from toggle ledwiz key and then see if 1 is your enter key - not your exit key.

 

you don't have to worry about toggle ledwiz key if you put ledwiz=false
