If there is a customized dipswitch menu in the table script, then no, that would show up as "Replay On/Off" if the custom menu had it. The default checkboxes for 32 dipswitches only show up if there isn't a customized menu in the table already.
1.1 has any dip menu that may have been there removed, so the checkboxes show up for individual settings, however, in order for what you check to be 'saved' you would also need to remove the script lines which overwrite what you select.
Controller.Dip(0) = (0*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 0*32 + 0*64 + 0*128) '01-08
Controller.Dip(1) = (0*1 + 0*2 + 0*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 0*32 + 0*64 + 1*128) '09-16
Controller.Dip(2) = (0*1 + 1*2 + 0*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 0*32 + 0*64 + 0*128) '17-24
Controller.Dip(3) = (1*1 + 1*2 + 1*4 + 0*8 + 0*16 + 1*32 + 1*64 + 0*128) '25-32
Otherwise every time the table is loaded, table init will clear whatever you had checked in the menu and replace it with these.
Allow me to start again because that seems too awfully confusing.
You have three possible choices for dip switches.
1) customized pretty menu that explains most settings in plain english with a checkbox or two or radio button to select choices.
2) the four Controller.Dip lines
3) the basic default 32 checkbox menu
These three options are mutually EXCLUSIVE - they overwrite each other in specific circumstances. ie
If you have controller.dip in the script it will override any other settings every time the table is loaded - this is why for the custom english menu those lines need to be removed for the custom menu to work.
The custom menu also overwrites the settings for the default 32 checkbox dipswitch menu, so you either get the custom menu, or the 32 checkbox menu, you can't have both.
So, to set default options, it would be best to either run the controller.dip lines with the table the first time, and then comment them out, or run them once and save to the vpreg.stg file so you can see if it has been run before. OR, just use a custom dip menu with plain text explanations which can do that for you. OR, just use the default 32 checkbox menu and include a text file or explanation for what all the known dipswitches do for the end user to check or uncheck boxes that way.
Knowing these things, it really makes no difference which method is used as the end user should be able to decide what they prefer and modify it for themselves to what they want to use.
