in addition to the "standard" keys (typically "1" to start game and "5" for coin), I've added "3" as another coin input and "4" for coin and auto-start game (like I recall the dime slots generally were) to simulate 3 coin slots
when game is not in progress, holding down left flipper for about 3-5 seconds will bring up the options menu. left flipper selects item, right flipper changes option.
I've also included shadows for the ball and flippers. If you want to turn them off look for these lines at the beginning of the script:
Const ShadowFlippersOn = true
Const ShadowBallOn = true
change to false if you want either of the shadows not showing on your tables

Hi Loserman76, has anyone else reported this error message below...

 

Fatal Error: unable to create texture! D3DERR_INVALIDCALL (0x8876086c: Invalid call) at RenderDevice.cpp:1153

 

Not sure how to fix this, all other VPX tables you've created are working just fine.

 

Thanks.

That error I'm quite sure he can't do anything about. It is coming from DirectX. Reboot might fix it. Even restarting VP might fix it. I should note however. On my old "editing" desktop machine I had some tables that would not start. Some of them gave this error. I updated the Nvidia drivers and all problems where gone.

In the Table Options panel is a slider to reduce the detail. Perhaps a video card memory thing .. try reducing the detail a bit, save. Completely exit and restart.

Thanks Thalamus and allknowing2012, I'll try these suggestions and post my results.  If all else fails, I have another video card I can test with.

 

UPDATE

 

- Problem happens with nVidia GT610 video card, (on my testing PC).

- Problem does NOT happen with nVidia GT1030 video card, (on my virtual pinball cabinet PC).

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
