After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

Press the F3 key, that should restart the vpinmame and stop that message. This happens the first time you run some/many tables.

I realised that it does that on the first run and I also tried the F3 key, it does rest, except back to the orginal problem.

I guess you need new graphic drivers for the graphic card.

I just downloaded this VPX version of TOTAN.

 

I get the following message:

WPC.VBS Ver 3.46 or higher required

 

Script error:  Variable Undefined: CVPM Trough

 

Can I get an updated version of WPC.VBS from here?

I searched the download section for WPC and got no hits.

I had installed VPX with the full installer

Excellent work, as this plays really well. VPX (and table designers) is definitely moving closer to the real thing.

You simply need to update your scripts with the ones supplied with VPX. If you have them in the scripts folder then copy them there, otherwise you'll need to copy them to all the table folders you may have.

 

 

Thanks a lot Jp & Happy New Year to you. Is this desktop only or is it all configured resdy for Full screen?

 

All the VPX tables can be played FS, but some of my tables may need to move the flashers a little. When I find a better way to add/position the flashers I'll do that to my tables, but for now the flashers are adjusted for desktop since that is what I use.

I did a full install, so would think they would have been included.  I think I will uninstall VPX and start over with a clean slate.

In the video options, put 0 in the "Visual Nudge Strength".

 
As always, beautiful table JP.

Ok, so the missing graphics is not the driver. It is the old essential files VBS script pack that I had in my tables folder. Once I reinstalled vpX and moved the VPx table file sinto the install directory and not run them from another directory with older VBS and script files in it, then the game loaded and worked. As for the stuck DMD, if I click the 7 key it takes it out of the cycle and runs.

 

The problem im having now is however is that the table and ball sounds are very loud and the game DMD sound is very soft, any suggestions


Great table BTW, thanks

 

I cant wait for twilight zone, adams family and star trek

I'm not sure what I've got going on with VPinmame & this table but, upon launch, the DMD fills my entire playfield monitor.  If I resize the box, the graphics stay gigantic and only show a portion of the DMD graphics.

DMD fills entire monitor? Are you running it full screen? Check vpinmame setup/settings.
