Thanks bigus, awesome update!

Hi Bigus, are you able to identify the development branch your table was spun off from please?  I believe the last version of GI we saw was the one that had 2 versions of the table, one with "Modulated" flashers and another with "Classic" flashers. Once I can dig up the authors, year (Maybe 2018??) and version 1.3 (?) I will post it. I'm trying to figure out if you branched off from that release.

 

I can't tell by the table script yet who the authors were from the version 1.3 vpx that I am referring to.

[bigus1]

I don't know it's history beyond the table info. I first published it 2 years ago, so it's been around at least that long.

Hi Bigus,

Thank you for this mod which brings a clear improvement in physics.

Can you help me? I've changed Inclination and Field of view and now the background image no longer completely covers the background: there are 2 black areas on either side of the pinball.
Any idea?

Hello Batch,
Thank you for your backdrops.
I've found that it's probably an issue of the rev249_rc because it works fine with the rev225_rc.

Great job on this table!

[bpjacobsen]

for some reason, the dmd display disappeared. Was working in the past but not sure what happened. I tried downloading the B2s again from both vpu and vpf.  tried re-downloading both 2 and 3 screen versions of B2S from vpu to no avail. I confirmed in b2s settings dmd is on.

Thanks for the update bigus. 

[bpjacobsen]

been forever since I had this issue and I can't remember how to fix it. when I resize the dmd to fit inside the box on the b2s then turn the window border back off it does not hold the size and elongates. How to prevent this?

[bigus1]

Click on the DMD again after resize but before hiding border.

Peace,

 

When I try to run this table VPX just hangs.  It's says preparing table.  The Pup Pack loads but the table doesn't.  I'm using 10.8.  What am I doing wrong?

I am going to take a guess and say this particular Gilligans Island table is not a Pup Pack version. Try running the table version that the Pup Pack was made for.

 

Are you seeing an error when running this table?

Do you have Exclusive Full screen mode checkmarked in Preferences, Video/Graphics Options?

Uncheck that or you will not see any error messages, and tables will seem like they are freezing up, but it is just an error message popping up that you can't see, because of the Exclusive Fullscreen mode being checkmarked

Peace,

 

Thanks for responding.......

 

At this time I can find no other version of the table.  Classicradios doesn't mention his pup pack needing a special table.  I removed the pup pack a while ago until I can get the table working.

 

No errors to report.  I run the table and it hangs.  The table doesn't actually ever load.

 

Exclusive Full Screen mode is not checked.  I usually don't run my tables with it checked.

 

I have 99 tables working fine.  This is one of a small few that I've never been able to get working properly.

Interesting. Is that because you like to run Pup-Packs and it helps?

 

I do pretty-much the opposite.

 

Edit: I checked and this Bigus v1.2 is what I'm running and it loads and runs fine for me on VPX v10.7.2

Honestly I'm not sure why I don't run full screen.  It's been that way so long I don't even remember why I unchecked it.

 

I'm on 10.8 which I think might be part of the problem.  Is it possible that this table only likes 10.7.2?
