I just noticed that when trying to mute the rom in order to try out a pup pack, when I uncheck "use sounds" and then restart the table, the check box is getting re-checked by itself.  Am I missing something, or is this something the vpx table author is doing?

the table maybe re-enables sounds on exit, which is is SUPPOSED to do if it is a PUP table

You may have to comment that out of Sub table1_exit for testing purposes

Two that I've seen do this are Elvis and Guns 'n Roses, and neither of those were built as PUP tables originally, right?

Check the game for this line comment out

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 1

Like this

'.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 1

No, but like outthere showed you
some authors make sure their script turns the sound on
because other authors turn the sound off, and then forget to turn it back on in the table1_exit sub

 

For your usage

What you would want to do is, in the vpm init where you see with contoller

DO a line that reads

 

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 0

 

 

and in the exit sub do like

Sub Table1_exit

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 1

 

then it turns it back on when the table closes
incase another table shares the rom and needs the sound

Thanks guys, this is very helpful; I'll take a look at the scripts when I'm back at the cab.

Is it possible to use that command to turn on and off the alt sound mode?

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("alt sound") = 1

 

and in the exit sub

 

Sub Table1_exit

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("alt sound") = 0

I do this exact thing in my NFL mods.

 

Use this command to turn the Altsound on..

 

         Controller.Games("nfl").Settings.Value("sound_mode") =1

 

and turn it off on table exit...

 

         Controller.Games("nfl").Settings.Value("sound_mode") =0

No

 

Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound_mode") = X  (valid values for X are 0 to 3)

Thanks guys. That's exactly what I was looking for. It works like a charm in the Mod table and doesn't affect the original table.

 

In the Sub Table1_Init I put

 

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 0 'turn off rom sounds

.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound_mode") =1 'turn on alt sound

 

and at the end of the script I put

 

Sub Table1_Exit()
    Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 1 'turn rom sounds back on
    Controller.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound_mode") = 0 'turn alt sound back off
    Controller.Stop
End Sub

Uh oh! after further testing it looks like if you turn off the ROM sounds it also disables the Alt Sound Mode. So leave the ROM sound on.

Thanks to Weisshund

 

you helped me out with conflicts Between Elvis with PupPack that still needs the rom sounds that was conflicting with the Grease Table that does not need them at all.

 

Cheers
