Hello,

 

I encounter a backglass issue that hides the puppack with the latest PinEvents tables, issue already mentioned on topics. Scripting solutions are discussed in TERRY RED's guide.
I have PINBALLX in fronted.
I did not find the exact procedure for these scripts to be entered in the register and read before and after the opening of FUTUR PINBALL.
I'm sorry but I don't know the programming at all!!

Thanks for your help.

For PinballX, it may be easier to create a new System / Emulator category in PinballX for PinEvent FP tables only. You will need to create a *.BAT file (with the commands I show to disable the FP Backbox and Arcade mode) and use that BAT file in the Launch Before for PinEvent tables.

 

Create another BAT file (using my example commands to re-enable to FP Backbox and Arcade mode) and use that with your normal FP System / Emulator in PinballX.

 

I haven't used PinballX in a long time, but I remember having to use BAT files to do anything like this.

What are the commands Terry?
It may be possible directly, though truth be told, i just use a batfile myself for like firing up dmd extensions with fp etc
easier to maintain/modify the bat file

A BAT file is run the same as any other EXE with Pinball X when used with FP (or VPX, etc).

 

If you don't know how to do that, then goto the Pinball X forums to get the most up to date info, as I have not used it in years.

This issue, is being to do it on a table per table basis using direct commands (Popper only), or using different BAT files with a different emulator (for PinEvent tables only) setup in PBX/Y.

 

The registry commands are shown in the PinEvent Guide (this info has always been there).

 

The other issue is being able to choose to use DMDext on a per table basis (PinEvent Lite) compared to pup-packs with PinEvent V2 (and no DMDext).

 

Again... all this is super easy with Popper, and can be done however you want. With PBX / Y you need to use BAT files, and may need separate setups for Pinevent / normal FP tables / DMDext tables, etc).

Hello,

 

Finally the bat creation and especially its launch mode by sony pinballx too complicated for me. I'm going to make it easy for myself!
I will only use FUTUR PINBALL for PinEvent tables.
So I want to disable blackbox and arcade mode in the registry.
When I go to command prompt

c:\>REG ADD "HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer" /v "ArcadeMode" /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

 

I have a message "key name valid name"?

 

c:\>REG ADD « HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer » /v « SecondMonitorEnable » /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

I have a message "key name valid name"?

How should I do?

THANKS

If your plan is to only run PinEvent tables and the pup-packs, then you don't need a BAT file. Just disable the Backbox and Arcade mode in FP Video settings, as you won't be using them (the pup-pack or DMDext are needed for your backglass and DMD display).

Hello,

That's what I did.
But a fixed image remains on the backglass and I think hides the puppack!

Most likely from Pinball X's media still displaying after the table is launched. You need to prevent that from displaying for these tables. Not sure how that is chosen, as its been years since I used it. Again, better off asking in Pinball X forums to be sure.

Good evening,
The problem does not come from pinballx since when I launch the table by fploader, without going through pinballx, I have the same problem!

Then you haven't disabled the settings in FP. Make sure they are disabled, and all settings match like i the pic below

 

 

 

If you are using a PinEvent Lite table's pup-pack, there are no videos or text in the pup-pack (as described in the Install Instructions for the table. Pinevent Lite pup-packs are just a still image of the backglass.

Hello,

OK thanks.

So for the BLADE RUNNER table there is no video puppack like for JAWS!
It's a table lite! I had read the installation manual but did not understand!
