Hello,
I am new to VP10 software. I have attempted two games and have a problem with both. The playfield does not fill up the screen all of the way. I will post an image of the stranger things table where you can see the height is good... however the width is skinny and doesn't reach the edge of the tv screen. I can't seem to find a way to stretch this to fit, or any sort of adjustments that will change it? I tried another table (the addams family) and I have a similar issue so I don't think it's an issue with the game itself. I probably just need a heads up on where to go to make changes. I should add the backglass is fine on stranger things, just the table itself is too small. Also, I have seen in other helps threads where an ini file is requested. If needed please let me know where I can find this so I can post it for you. Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks,

 

Playfield tv 1080x1920
Backglass tv 1366x768
DMD monitor 1280x1024
 
Windows 8.1 pro
Radeon RX 560

Set XY to 270. So you rotate the table.
Then you can change X- and Y-scale to fill the screen as you like.
With X- and Y-offset you can scroll the table right, left, up or down.

Looks like you are running playfield monitor in portrait mode, which is not the norm

First go to Preferences-> Video and enable FS Cabinet mode

Now 2 choices
1) Keep windows in portrait mode. Change Backdrop XY to 0. Press F6 and use flipper and magma save keys to adjust tables dimensions

Or

2) change windows to Landscape mode. Make sure Backdrop XY =270. Press F6 in table adjustment needed

Thanks you. Thank you. Thank you. 

This has been driving me crazy. For some reason I don't think the values where changing in mode that I had my playfield screen in. I had to change it in windows and then I could start seeing changes in the playfield values. It will make it more difficult to move the mouse around when I need to from screen to screen...but I can sacrifice that for having the games lined up right.  On a side note I am not seeing anything when I try F6 though? Should a menu pop up on screen? Thanks.

If you are running in exclusive full screen then no dialogs are getting through. So, when you are adjusting, it is a good idea not to run in that mode.

If f6 not working, Try menu Table-> Camera/Light Edit Mode

It might also be notable to say that you START the table by pressing F6, not pressing it after you hit play. I didn't understand that concept at first and it drove me crazy for something so stupid...

I have also found that some tables will not save the XY settings no matter what you do.

So for these, you can load the table into the Visual Pinball Editor, and click the "File" tab...then click "Export"...then click "Backdrop POV.

This will save an XML file that can be opened and modified with notepad.

Here is what a typical one will look like...

So if XY or rotation settings are not saving for you, try editting the XML file that you can export from table. After you make your changes, simply click "File" tab...then click "Import"...Backdrop POV. Now you can import your changed settings by browsing to and clicking the XML file you just editted.

 

Also, if you find a table that you like the settings on, try exporting that tables POV xml file, and import it into another table to help give you same settings.

This method may save you alot of time.

[hauntfreaks]

what tables dont save the POV??

[xenonph]

This table does not save FS settings unless you export the POV file and edit it.

 

Funhouse...

http://www.vpforums....&showfile=12679

 

 

Load table and click backdrop and uncheck "Test Desktop" (Which I assume all cabinet users have unchecked already for cabinet usage.) then  try to rotate FS view table. It doesn't happen.

Only after exporting the POV file and editting and importing back into table, does it rotate table and save the settings.

 

I believe there are other tables that do this also.

 

 

Edit:

Ooops...I think I missed selecting MODE FULLSCREEN right below the "Test Desktop"

Obviously I am not a cabinet user!! lol

Kindly disregard.

I've never a problem with saving. Also Funhouse works fine. Mysterious. :-)

How do you do resize in VP9? F6 doesn't work like it does in VPX when you hit f6 (which I love by the way)
