I have two tables, Playboy 1978 and Rock N Roll Diner which use the same playboyb rom. I can't get them to score separately.

 

 

 I have setup my VPMAlias file for Rock N Roll Diner as below

 

playboybr,playboyb
 

 

I have edited the script for both tables

 

Original Playboy table I added the following NVOffset line

 

Sub Table1_Init
    vpmInit Me
    On Error Resume Next
        With Controller
        .GameName = cGameName
        NVOffset (1)

 

Rock N Roll I edited / added...

 

Const cGameName = "SexyGirl"
Const cloneGameName = "playboybr"

Sub Table1_Init
 
        With Controller
        .GameName = cloneGameName
        NVOffset (2)

 

I then deleted the original NVram file and let Playboy create a new one. The game played and scored fine but Rock N Roll still picks up the high score from Playboy. The following three files were created but the two txt files are empty. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

 

playboyb.nv

playboyb v1.txt

playboybr v2.txt

wiesshund: Your post from that link and another of your older posts are what got me as far along as I am. Obviously I am doing something wrong but I have not been able to figure out what. Thanks for any help!!

what i would do..

vpmalias.txt add

playboy1978, playboyb
rocknroll, playboyb

in playboy 1978 table script

Const cGameName = "playboy1978"

Sub table1_Init
vpmInit Me
    With Controller
        .GameName = "playboyb"
NVOffset (1)
        .GameName = cGameName

in Rock N Roll table script

Const cGameName = "rocknroll"

Sub table1_Init
vpmInit Me
    With Controller
        .GameName = "playboyb"
NVOffset (2)
        .GameName = cGameName

PS
Delete all related NV rams before firing up tables after editing
Run playboy 1978 1st
Just load then exit is fine

then load and exit rock n roll
 

and then you should be good to go from there

Resurrecting this old thread to once again say THANKS to wieshund !! I made this post last May and he fixed my alias problem. Here we are all these months and lots of aliases later and today I am trying to alias the Black Rose table and after a couple of hours of not being successful I finally remembered I had a similar problem way in the past. I dug out my notes and found this. Sure enough it worked. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You
