Hi guys,

 

i have problems to configure the ACDC Tables with colored SAM Patches and using an Alias for these tables which use the same rom in combination with nvoffset. This rom is acd_170h.zip.

 

Generally i have no problems using SAM Color Patches for tables, only in combination with Aliases.

So i have the sc vpinmame installed. Patched the acd_170h.zip to colored acd_170hc.zip. In Vpinmame/altcolor folder i have an acd_170hc folder with the pin 2 dmd .pal file inside.

 

I have changed the vpmalias.txt to use acd_170hc instead of acd_170h and it looks like this:

 

acdcbib,acd_170hc
acdcpwr,acd_170hc
acdcltbr,acd_170hc
acdcluci,acd_170hc
acdcprem,acd_170hc

 

I tested the colored rom for itself in VPinMame with the Test Option an the colored rom works. Use "external DMD" and "colorize DMD" are checked in VPinMame.

 

When i try to start for eg ACDC Back in Black then the normal rom apears instead of the colored rom. Here is a part of the script which uses aliases:

 

Const cGameName = "acdcbib"

Dim bsTrough, bsTEject, bsBellEject, bsLowEject, PlungerIM, ACDCBank, TNTBank

Sub ACDC_Init
    vpmInit Me
    With Controller
        .GameName = "acd_170hc"
         NVOffset (2)
        .GameName = cGameName

 

Before the .GameName was set to "acd_170h" and alias worked fine for all tables. As you see i just changed it to use the colored rom "acd_170hc".

This doesn´t work. The normal rom comes up and not the colored one.

 

 

When i change the script to this:

 

 

Const cGameName = "acd_170hc"

Dim bsTrough, bsTEject, bsBellEject, bsLowEject, PlungerIM, ACDCBank, TNTBank

Sub ACDC_Init
    vpmInit Me
    With Controller
        .GameName = cGameName

 

 

Everything works fine and the colored rom comes up. So i think there is an issue with the use of aliases not working correctly but i cant figure it out.

I figured it out. Now it works.

 

There has to be a folder named like the table alias with the pal file inside in altcolor folder.
