Just give me the name of the table as it appears in the download section (to avoid confusion), and I will post the instructions and script changes necessary to get it working.
I am only working about 2 days a week currently, and overnight at that, so I find myself killing a large amount of time in front of my computer regularly checking the forums here. I usually try to help as best I can anyway, and this is one subject I think I've got down well enough that I can help those with issues. I also figure I can keep a running list of tables 'fixed' in this first post here with links to the relative post so anyone looking to mod the same table can easily find the post.
List of tables covered in this thread identified by name in download section:
The Addams Family VP91X 2.0.1 FS LINK
Dolly Parton (JP Salas) FS and Dolly Parton VP9 1.1FS LINK

Some Basic Trouble Shooting tips...
1.) make sure VP is seeing your plunger move from 0 to 25... Plunger_test.zip 31.3KB 636 downloads
2.) make sure your plunger axis is being read via direct input as 0 to 1000 (or -1000 to 0, depending on how it is set up), instead of -1000 to 1000, as VP will only start accepting input starting from 0... joystick.zip 51.98KB 299 downloads
3.)If plunger axis is being read as -1000 to 1000, see below:
..3a.)XP - DXTweak2 - This will allow you to shift the centerpoint of the axis (and even adjust calibration) on the fly, just make sure you are adjusting the proper one
..3b.)Vista/7 - It can also be done with an older version of DXTweak2, you just need to make sure that you click on an unused axis first (like X/Y Rotation), and hit 'Axis Defaults', as this will enable the 'Apply' button, otherwise there is no way to apply the changes. If you can't get it to work, there is a more involved solution, and requires some registry editing. I have listed the steps necessary in this post for those of you who need to go this route.
So say the raw values for the Z axis are 32 for the minimum, and 78 for the maximum, the center point will be set at 55 by default, but to work optimally, it needs to be changed to 32 (in this example). There is also the possibility of using the Z rotation (rZ) axis for the plunger on the Mot-Ion kit (with my custom build and upcoming official build), but it is reversed, so you would have to set the center point to the maximum value instead of the minimum
