I've been running these new back glasses, and they are great, but every time I exit a table whether through hyperpin or VP, VP crashes. This only happens on the tables that I'm running the new back glasses on. Any body have any ideas.? Thanks

I've had with some tables crashes on exit for VP, but never HyperPin.

 

Maybe my solution works also for you:

open for one of these tables the script, scroll down (or search) for Controller.Pause

 

Below that part add:

Sub Table1_exit()

 Controller.Stop

End sub

 

if the sub method used for Controller.Pause has a different name, such as Genesis_Pause, use the same start for _exit

 

This stops the controller immediately, before VP quits. For me this has the advantage that music also stops immediately, sometimes it continues to play for 3-5 seconds.

And it does not crash for me anymore.

 

Good luck.

Hi Delta6014,

 

I had the same issue here, and you just need to change the ddraw value for the problematic tables.

All info is here:

Herweh is aware about the problem since the beta version, and might come with anothe fix.

Thanks for the help. I will check it out and see if I can get them work. Much appreciated

Thanks for the info Westworld that worked for me.

Where do you adjust the draw value???? Also Westworld, not all tables have the controller.pause, but when I tried your method I got errors. Where exactly does it go?

[Pinball999]

Got this from Marauder some time ago:

 

You need to change it on Windows' registry. Use regedit and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > Software > Freeware > VisualPinMAME. You should see there the ROMs (and not the tables!) as the key names. Edit there.

Had the same problem with Dracula running VP 442.

 

It was fixed with Westworlds solution by adding:  Sub Table1_Exit(): Controller.Stop: End Sub

 

 

Cheers

Thanks. Finally got Westworlds fix to work, but what about the tables that don't have Controller.Pause. Any ideas

Hey Westworld, I put that sub in my latest release of Mars Attacks, the table would occasionally not close the Form1 for me, but I added your sub....

Sub Table1_exit()

Controller.Stop

End sub

... and tested it about 40 times and the Form1 has closed on exit every time.

Thanks.

Read Pinball999 post above mine for the registry directory. Find the rom that is causing you a problem and change the ddraw to 0.

 

I only had this problem with Addams Family. After you make a change to registry load the table and then exit table for it to work. You could try pushing F3 after table has loaded , it may work the same way.

I have just been putting it right at the end of the script on the tables without the Controller.Pause and it is working great. No need to set ddraw to 0

[RNunez187]

Adding the Sub Table1_Exit(): Controller.Stop: End Sub at the end of the script has stopped all of my issues also, especially when needing to restart the backglass after saving changes.  VP would always show a black screen for the playfield and then crash.  Now it works fine.

tried all of this but can't get black knight 2000 to -> not crash when exiting the table

  does it work for you guys ? what did you ad to the script ?

 

i am playing Lord Hiryu's version of BK2K

Sub Table1_Exit(): Controller.Stop: End Sub

 

That should stop all crashing , just make sure table1 is the tables name, it could be something like BK2K , you just need to double check.

oh ! thanks.. another thing learned... this scripting thing is like reading hieroglyphs for me !

Thank you very much !

Finally found this topic after scouring for an hour or so-
I am hopeing this will help with the problem I am having. When I play a table directly from vp, the backglasses (b2s) close upon exiting a table, but when playing from hyperspin, exiting a table, the b2s backglass continues running and I can only get it to close by hitting the 'esc' button.
Hopefully adding this l;ine to the tables script will help with my problem.

Thanks guys! I will update on wether this works for me or not.

[LoadedWeapon]

That is for db2s not b2s... db2s uses the server and you launch the backglass withe the b2s.server in the script. The other one B2S is an exe file that you set to false in the script and have hyperpin launch it by having _B2S at the end of the name

[bob808]

ahh- ok thanks-  Looks like I have some file-renaming to do..

Thanks for the clarification LoadedWeapon!
