Hello Everyone,

 

I'm running into the same issue with multiple tables.  I'm hoping somone can assist in correcting it.  Here is what happens, table boots up backglass and table load and on screen, however at the top of the table I am receiving the following:  Pinball Mediation Error, Script Error Line (then line # here)  in this line is always FF_Init.

 

Any and all assistance is appreciated.

When you install (DOFLinx) did you put this file DOFLinx.vbs the Scripts folder Games\Future Pinball\Scripts

[CDink91]

Ok, the only scripts folder I see in under Future Pinball is LedWiz-Script.  I copied & pasted the DOFLinx vbs file into there but it is still giving the same error when table loads. 

[Outhere]

Just make Scripts folder in Games\Future Pinball\Scripts

[xenonph]

Try right clicking on the FuturePinball.exe and click Compatibility, then click run as Administrator.

Ok so here is where I am at now.  I re-installed Future Pinball, and the newest version of BAM. Created Scripts folder.

 

***I am using a 3 monitor setup.****

 

If I run Future Pinball from my desktop shortcut, it will play these games without the FF_Init error,  however I am unable to use the ~ key to access the ability to adjust the table size etc.  So all I can see is the lower right corner of the table in the upper left part of my screen, Backglass is also not scaled correctly. 

 

If I open the same table directly from the tables folder by double-clicking on it, my table and back glass load up to the correct scale, but the FF_Init error returns and the table wont play.

I don't use DOFLinx but I checked two non-DOFLinx versions of the tables that you mentioned and neither has "FF_Init" in it.  My guess is that "FF_Init" must be an external script file and most likely unique to the DOFLinx version of the table.  What Outhere said makes sense.  Open the FP editor and check the script of the table.  The following line must be in the script somewhere in order to run an external script:  

 

ExecuteGlobal LoadExternalScript ("[file name].vbs")

 

[file name].vbs is the name of the file that has the external script.  It must be saved to one of the following folders or you will get a meditation error:

 

Games\Future Pinball\Scripts

Games\Future Pinball\Tables

 

If saving the file to one of the folders above does not work, try the other one.

 

NOTE: There can be more than one external script file that runs.  Make sure you find all occurences of the line of code above.

 

Then the vbs file may have some script in it like this:

 

Execute LoadExternalScript("LedWIZ_Settings.ini")

 

This loads an ini file.

 

If you have some sort of installation guide for DOFLinx, you might want to chck and make sure you did everything right.

If you're double clicking the game file and starting future pinball it maybe using the wrong EXE

Always make sure you are using The FPLoader.exe in Bam to start future pinball

When the game is running hit Q

You are using a table with DOFLinx code in it.  FF_Init is the initialisation command for the DOFLinx link.  You can use the table without DOFLinx installed or running (they are designed to achieve this), but what you do need to do, is place the latest DOFLinx.vbs file in your FP\Scripts folder as @outhere said earlier.

 

Otherwise, download and use a table that has not had DOFLinx commands added to it.

[CDink91]

Thank you all for your help and suggestions.  Seems like what worked is launching the tables only through BAM, FPloader exe.   Outhere's response seems to have resolved this issue.  Once I started doing this the tables worked and I could also access the BAM settings to size the table and back glass correctly.  Much appreciated everyone!!!!

[GeorgeH]

You must use BAM these days and the FPloader.exe is the way BAM is launched with FP.

Right click on fploader in the bam folder,select properties and set compatibility mode to windows 7 and run as administrator...just fixed my slamtilt meditation  issues with xbam and other script errors.

Thanks

DOFLinx.vbx has been copied into c:/Games/FuturePinball/Scripts folder. Setting Windows 7 compatibility mode and running as admin did not solve this problem in my system. I still get the same error. DOF and DOFLinx are working great on my table with both  VPX and FX3 and 10 solenoids. Going thru hell trying to get this error corrected in Future/BAM Pinball. Future/BAM non DOFLinx tables load & run ok.

Indications are MS Defender has started blocking scripts from being executed by another software, whether it be Future Pinball or Visual Pinball. Some people have reported the false positives to Microsoft... but I wonder if they're going to fix it, or insist we drop running external scripts going forward in the name of security for all.

Thanks for this post, I just started with Future Pinball because I wanted to play one specific table. I was getting this meditation error and it was making me crazy. I set compatibility to Windows 7 and run as admin and voila, worked perfectly. Cheers and thanks for the help!

That is  not really a fix, it is a bandaid skirting around something else being wrong.

Nothing should ever need to be running as admin

Did you try adding the AV exceptions as listed above?
