@juju1976 : Download this regsitry export, save it to the desktop or somewhere convenient. https://www.dropbox....gistry.reg?dl=0 - then double click it and accept the change. It can be a convenient thing to export your vpinball registry keys at a point where everything is setup like you want it. Then if odd things like this happens, well, you kind of do the same. Restore the registry.

 

@barneyrfd : Your question doesn't belong in the beta thread. Please ask it in support thread for the table. IF it is for all tables, well, start a new topic, and, don't use the beta thread for personal install problems.

Sorry about that, newbie mistake...

When using -minimized command line param I can't see the progress bar when loading from frontend but can't use Q button to pause the VPX while playing

When not using -minimized I see the progress bar window when loading a table but can use Q for pauing the gameplay....

Can We have a param for just hiding the progress bar window ? something line -NoLoadingBar or something ? That would allow to have no progress bar and still be able to pause vpx...

I added a new paramater "-ExtMinimized" which does that. In addition, it will directly leave also the editor when quitting from the pause menu.

The VP installer will also use that then from now on when installing the registry entry for playing (double clicking a table).

 

See https://github.com/v.../runs/716664509

 

 

I've checked the ExtMinimized param, the loading is gone, pause works but had no focus on the resume button, needed to use mouse...

Without the ExtMinimized param used, the progress bar is there, and pause menu has focus on the resume button so I can unpause right away.
Will have some additional testing tomorrow - maybe it was "happeden once" thing in popper.

I you where to ask me. Yes. Go for it. At last it is now so good that we should get more feedback from it. Rename your current VPinballX.exe to VPinball106.exe or something. If you at any point want to go back. Just renamed your VPinballX.exe to VpinballX107beta.exe and rename the other one back to VPinballX.exe.

 

Under keys/dof preferences, know that there is a new plunger that is enabled. It might for some tables do odd things. So, turning it off ( default - currently it is on ) might be a solution you find satisfying, until the tables themselves has fixes.

 

I've been running the beta standalone, but now I may try running it as my default from Popper. Thanks.

So I'm messing around with 10.7.0-127-c9c069f as suggested by JP Salas.
Everything works fine, I'm pretty impressed, BUT all the Altsound packages volume really really low compare to 10.6
Any how to raise the Altsound volume?
Or fix this "incompatibility"?

Hey , apologies if this has been covered , i did a script search , search and it came up with nothing relevant. 10.7 v111 ( latest) seems to work pretty well for me but when i try to search in the script it doesnt seem to work , weirdly when i search for just 2 letters it works?? but full words like sound dont search 

 

thanks

in the search dialog, you do not have case sensitivity checked do you?

It was a long time i hadn't updated VP 10.7 so i downloaded the latest build from github (the 32bits/x86 one to be sure it's compatible with everything else that i also updated like VPinmame 32 bits etc.. ), at the time i write said build is this one :

https://github.com/v...7.0-127-c9c069f

 

Something i often do in VPX is export all the image used in a table so i rework them for my need/fun/whatever reason.

 

On the previous (more than half a year ago) build of VP 10.7 i was using i never experienced that problem, but now it seems for most of the table if in the Image Manager i select all (or a lot of images at the same time) and press Export -> choose my prefered location , it will end with several popup that tells :

"The temporary file ..\thepath\that\Iwanted\name of the image.png" could not be written. I press OK that lead to a 2nd popup "Could not export image"

 

Depending how much images i had selected, there could be a lot of those popups appearing after i close the previous one.

 

Now if i export only a few selected images, this usually do not happen (even for the images that the popup mentionned), but if i export a lot at once, it will nearly (as sometime not) always happens.

The path i export them to is very simple :

C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\texwork\

 

So it does not involve any built in window security. It also never happened on the last VP 10.7 i was using (the one from July last year).

Weird. Will look into that one, too.

Same happens to me, even in 10.6, but with exporting audio (never tried exporting all images)
going to guess that the cause is the same though?

[Thalamus]

Maybe it started around the move to github ? If it doesn't happen for the HIGH numbers, but, those that have version under 200.

rev129 is up:

 

- build process updated

- updated JPs arcade physics 3.01

- update post-processing sharpening filters:

   1=CAS (less aggressive, rather subtle)

   2=Bilateral CAS (can effectively counter the general blur coming in from FXAA or SMAA, etc, while keeping the AA alone)

- fix volume and panning and looping for BASS sounds (i.e. mp3 & ogg files)

- fix mp3/ogg export

- fix problems when exporting multiple sounds/images

[toxie]

..note that the problem with VPMs altsound is still there though (for now)

[goldchicco]

Following the 10.7 development, I'm using it full time since JP released Mago the Oz, where con I find the new rev129?
Thank you in advance

I have a problem using the latest 10.7 that every time I play a table and then exit  VP hangs at the editor and then closes to desktop.. Is this normal?

Edited by bha19, 10 April 2021 - 01:03 PM.

[toxie]

Definetly not. Is there a crash dump?

..or only with a specific table? Cause i have no repro.

[bha19]

I think I had an older version, and I downloaded newer version that seems to not crash.
