Hi Guys.

 

I have a WIP CAB. He used to have Future Pinball.

For the plunger I have a real plunger and under it a mouse.

The plunger makes the wheel mouse to scroll and FP pulls and releases the plunger in the game.

 

I wanted to do the same with VP/VPX and it only uses a joystick for that purpose.

 

I searched the Internet and wasn't finding a program that suit my needs I decided to make my own.

 

I'd like to share it so others can use the way I use it.

 

https://drive.google...iew?usp=sharing

 

For win10 i recomend dowloading this one: https://sourceforge.....1.8.39-270518/ if the one in the zip doesn't work.

 

 

How can I upload it to VPForums?

 

Anyway...

 

Just unpack the zip in a directory of your choice (I recommend inside c:\VisualPinball a directory names MousePlunger)

The program is MousePlunger.exe

The MousePlunger.ini is the configuration file for the program (I commented it so you can change the values to suit your needs)

The vJoyInterface.dll is the interface with vJoy (Virtual Joystick)

In the zip there's also the installation files for vJoy. One is for Windows7/8 and the other for Windows10.

 

First, install as Administrator the vJoy driver.

Execute MousePlunger and configure it if needed.

Minimize it and it will go to the System Tray.

Right click on it and a popup menu appears so you can choose to restore the program window or terminate the program.

 

That's all.

 

Feel free to comment and to share the program if you wish.

PS: For those who are thinking in using a Mouse as a plunger BUT not with the wheel, NaiBuster has made a little app that does the same thing as mine but with the rY axis.

He inspired me to do mine. Here's the thread: https://www.vpforums...+mouse +plunger
