Talk about timing, I just compiled r800 and updated my sig... 
Also have a question/request for the ToxicFuzz... with the new ordering dialog, is there anyway to show more information in that window? like the height of the ramps (top/bottom/average)? and maybe the type of object... ramp/wall/light/etc with designation of type in some cases like ramps? And possibly a quick sort button to 'automagically' apply a default sort to them in order of height for those less patient as a starting point?

Cool, good to hear
(that it is being worked on, not about the problems)

Also, I had mentioned/requested it in the previous thread, and would like to put it out there again (very low priority, just think it would be cool to have... eventually)...
When you guys feel ambitious or bored, I think it would be cool to store multiple backdrop view settings in the table file (everything in the colors and formatting section, including image (and possibly the enable em reels checkbox)), so one version of the table could be released and the end user could select which version of the table they wanted to use... and a way to find out which view is active from the table script.
Also, I think it might be nice to include more command line switches for all the new 'per table' settings for enabling those settings 'on the fly' when launching via script (including one for the backdrop settings if/when added)

I like the multiple backdrop idea.. Then you could have 16:9 and different cab settings (TV aligned with glass or with floor) all in one file!
With command line switches you really mean the 'classic' command line, right? When launching from Hyperpin, Pinballx, etc?
Flasher object coming soon?
I hope so, Fuzzel wanted to prepare something.. ![]()
I'd also propose two different variants: One aligned with the playfield (GI, fake lighting) and one with the camera (flasher)..

Yes, I mean from an external script like from FPLaunch. I am not sure how useful they would be initially, but if it is available, then someone might do something with it for the various frontends, like being able to adjust some video preferences externally and passing them to VP without having to adjust each table individually.
Edit: Or instead of switches for table settings, I guess use them to set global settings

Ok, in testing out 801, I am experiencing an issue with ordering ... It seems that everytime I select a group of objects to order, they are always listed in the order I selected them instead of the order set by any previous ordering... (same behavior present in r797/official 9.2) Ordering does work, it's just that the displayed order when opening the dialog doesn't list them in the current drawing order, only by the order you selected them.
Example... I select Ramp1 then Ramp2, Ramp2 is listed above Ramp1, I move Ramp1 to the top of Ramp2 in the ordering dialog and hit Close, I unselect both ramps, then reselect Ramp1 then Ramp2, Ramp2 is again listed above Ramp1.... Multiply by 100+ ramps everytime you want to order something slightly differently...
Also, if I hit the Down button without having anything selected, VP crashes.
Another request/idea to add if possible... being able to select and move multiple objects when sorting

First, a big thank you to all Dev team for the good work.
The new texture of lights, for me is a bit dark,
bulbs made with bumpers appear to be burnt, if you could choose in the options tables different textures to match the bumper-lights.
One small thing, the plunger options dialog windows is slightly larger than the others.
The gate is collidable only with closing angle of 0 degrees,
with closing angle different from 0 you could make gates similar to the real ones and simulate the movement of the kickin target.
Thanks
Max

I just added some more parameters to PlaySound:
PlaySound "name",loopcount,volume,pan,randompitch,pitch,useexisting,restart
pitch can be positive or negative and directly adds onto the standard sample frequency
useexisting is 0 or 1 (if no existing/playing copy of the sound is found, then a new one is created)
restart is 0 or 1 (only useful if useexisting is 1, then the sample is played from the beginning)
The reason behind this was that i wanted to have a slightly less complicated and cooler ball rolling functionality.
I tweaked Centaur for a quick test with this code instead of the code in the rolling function, in case somebody wants to try (width should be set to the specific table width):
B = 2
If BallStatus(b) = 0 Then Exit Sub
BRVeloY(b) = Cint(CurrentBall(b).VelY)
BRVeloX(b) = Cint(CurrentBall(b).VelX)
Dim width
width = 1100
Dim pitch
pitch = BRVeloY(b)*BRVeloY(b)+BRVeloX(b)*BRVeloX(b) 'derive pitch from velocity, magic
Dim pan
pan = CurrentBall(b).x*2/width-1
If pan > 0 Then
pan = pan ^ 10 '10 = magic
Else
pan = -((-pan) ^ 10) '10 = magic
End If
If pitch > 10 Then 'ball is rolling?
PlaySound "JF_roll2",-1,1,pan,0,pitch*20,1,0 '*20 = magic
Else
StopSound "JF_roll2"
End If
This way the sample is pitched up if the ball runs faster, and it pans according to the position on the table. It also loops automatically and is stopped if the velocity gets too small. The magic factors in there are just coder-art, so please come up with something better. ![]()
