I'm curious if anyone has run into this issue:

1)  With DOFLinx already confirmed as working with Zeb's Plunger, open a Pinball FX3 table via PinUP Popper.

2)  Attempt to use the Launch Ball feature of Zeb's Plunger (launch script below).

3)  The first time you attempt to play a Pinball FX3 table (I've tested Aliens and Adventure Land), the launch button does not work.

4)  Exiting back to PinUP Popper and returning to the same table allows the button to work (sometimes immediately and sometimes slightly delayed).

 

Is this related to a setting I should have in my doflinx.ini file?

 

 

Current PinUP Popper Launch Script

 

@echo off
 
SET PORT=COM4
mode %PORT%:BAUD=9600 PARITY=N DATA=8 STOP=1 DTR=on RTS=on
set /p x="ZBKB" <nul>\\.\%PORT%
 
SET PORT=COM4
mode %PORT%:BAUD=9600 PARITY=N DATA=8 STOP=1 DTR=on RTS=on
set /p x="ZBLD" <nul>\\.\%PORT%
 
if "[custom3]"=="NO_DOFLinx" (taskkill /f /im "DOFLinx.exe")
 
cd /d "C:\Visual Pinball\VPinMAME"
if "[custom2]"=="PUPDMD" (start /min "" "PUPDMDControl.exe" FX3 PINUP\[GAMENAME])
rem START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 5 20 "Pinball FX3"
START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 5 5 60 "Pinball FX3"
 
SET ALTPARAM=
if "[ALTMODE]"=="Classic"  (SET ALTPARAM=-class )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="Hotseat2" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_2 )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="Hotseat3" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_3 )
if "[ALTMODE]"=="Hotseat4" (SET ALTPARAM=-hotseat_4 )
 
START "" "[DIREMU]\steam.exe" -applaunch 442120 %ALTPARAM% -table_[GAMENAME]
 
timeout 15
 
START /min "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\SendFXNewGame.exe"
 
 
 
Thanks for your input!
