Since converting my UVP backglasses to the newer Directb2s versions one change that I've tweaked on my tables is to make sure they include the following:

 

 Sub Table1_Paused:Controller.Pause = 1:End Sub
 Sub Table1_unPaused:Controller.Pause = 0:End Sub
 Sub Table1_exit:Controller.Stop:End Sub

 

A lot of tables have the Paused and unPaused subroutines but most do not have the exit routine.  For me, running on Windows 7 32bit, I've found that adding the exit subroutine provides a much cleaner exit from a running table.  Note, if your table name in the editor is something other than Table1 (which many are), then you just change Table1 to whatever your table is named in the editor.

Thanks.

I've tried it with Tommy_HD_FS_BMPR_GI_MOD_1.0 because when I exit this table the animation/sound was still going on.

After adding Sub Table1_exit:Controller.Stop:End Sub the table exits right away.

Interesting. My grateful dead takes forever to exit. I'll give this a try. Thanks

I dont understand where to put the string?

Into the table script.

Insted of putting these lines in the table script you can add

vpminit me

 

if you have the latest core.vbs file. Then the exit and pause/unpause subs are called from core.vbs

 

Most table have this line already under the init sub, but sometimes I have to add it.

Your suggestion also works great.

I tried it with this table: Tommy_HD_FS_BMPR_GI_MOD_1.0, because that's the table which would continue for a few seconds after the exit commando was given.

In the table script was vpminit me not there.

After adding it, it closes like it should.

I'm very glad to find out about this, as I've just started setting up some dB2S tables and VP has been crashing every time. It's always nice when there's a simple solution to what appears to be a difficult problem!

Did you ever try this?  I don't have any issues but I was curious as if I understand correctly, this is for VPM tables and the grateful dead is not a VPM table.  Just curious.
