Not sure if this is a feature or bug but for those of us single screen users that use the "enter" key to launch the ball, we have to hold that key much longer with version 10.7.  Is this to make trick shots easier or a bug?  Since I'm used to the 10.6 length of time to hold the "enter" key, it would be great if there was an easy way to set this.  TIA

Tried yesterday this latest Pre-Release with Elvis (not the JP version, but the other no longer available) and the top left flipper (the one that sends the ball to open the hotel door) is not hitting the ball, is like a primitive toy, ball goes through it.
Switched back to rev169 and flipper works great.
Need to mention that this particular flipper is not located in the main playfield but in an upper level.

As for ppl that are still afraid to test this:

 

Why would they be afraid? As someone using the editor I won't move off 6.

 

The more tables that are VP.7, the more you'll FORCE them to use it, if you need it testing that bad.


Bump maps are the new auto-tune :BDH:

I can confirm the goldchicco find

 

The bug is present to the Elvis table from JP version to.

 

The LeftflipperTop1 on the upper playfield have a graphics offset glitch and have no effect to the ball.

Hi guys, after updating vpx to 10.7 Pinvol stopped working properly. I can only adjust main volume and no other ssf volumes. Any ideas?

Yes, it seems there is a bug in the latest 10.7. This flipper, on top of the platform, has been working before. I tested with revision 4351 and it worked fine, so it is a newer bug. 4351 is the only old 10.7 I have.

Fuzzel? Toxie? Could any of you take a look?

Just download the Elvis 3.0.1 table from here: https://www.vpforums...&showfile=12983

To me some kickers don't work because as if they were positioned on a deleted and non-existent surface,

to make them work I have to select "None" from the surface drop-down menu.

@kiwi: Any example table for that one?

 

@JP and the other reporters: I will have a look why this happens, thanks!

This is the new 1s plunger retract by mfuegemann. You can disable it in the key settings under that name.

@kiwi: Nevermind, got it..

 

In general: Next RC build will have the fix for the latest seen issues (Elvis, TAF, kiwi's kickers, etc).

I mentioned this before, but perhaps no one saw it.  I don't know if this was a choice, but on 10.6, when you uploaded a new sound, the sound would play i.e. changing the flipper sound.  After you reimported the new file it would play automatically, very helpful, for when you accidentally clicked the wrong file, you would know right away.  The other thing I'm running into, when I upload images into a table (hrds, ball images, luts) I have to leave the screen and come back for them to appear in the drop down menu.  These are hardly breaking issues, just figured I would point them out.

When I start The Addams Family PupPack, the backglass heads me to the next table and I can only hear the sound. Anybody else has this issue? On 10.6 it didn't happen. I use PinUp Popper Baller.

No need to leave the screen

Just click off the object and reclick it
Object has to reload to see new choices
Even 10.6 does that to me

 

The audio part, i can not replicate here, if i load or change a sound, the new sound plays right away in sound manager

Oh wait, if you mean plays with out clicking a button even, not even 10.6 does that for me, not even sure where to turn that option on at?

I think the sound file change is because you dont want a 6 minute song to automatically play when you import it. Now that VPX supports mp3 etc

Pinvol only changes the main volume. If you are referring to PinvolSSF then I can only report that I have been using 10.6 and 10.7 (always latest build) together and no problems whatsoever. Since the sound update in 10.7 I use 10.7 exclusively and it works great with APO, PinvolSSF and ThumpSSF.

I don't normally post here as I'm not a tester, yet I value the reoccurring diligence on the project!

 

But...

 

What's the deal with the Properties panel always resetting?  Each time I run the editor, the panel needs to be dragged down and over for use.  Drives me nuts.  I'm sure I've missed something and own my own stupidity.
