A little question here , 

 

Sometimes a table has more than one person making these Altsounds for a specific table so how would you choose a Altsound  1.. 2.. 3.. , would you need to rename the folders .. i know how to make one folder work with the F1 and and changing Altsound from 0 to 1 ..but i'm not sure how to do it for multiple altsounds for 1 table .. 

 

Thanks

Create a couple of copies of the table in question, then use the VPMAlias.txt file to create two new romname's for these copies, and add the new romname's to table scripts.

Name your altsound folders to match the new romname's.

I used this method on the NFL mods I made.

32 different altsound packages, for one NFL rom.

When I do this, it still changes the altsound settings for everything using the original rom. For instance marty02 has a King of rock and Roll table that uses elvis rom. I make a VPMAlias entry ElvisM,elvis and I placed altsound file in ElvisM folder in the altsound folder. I changed the cGameName to ElvisM. But when I hit f1 on either table it bring up the setting for the original rom only. I can choose altsound 1 for 1 table but it affects them both. Is there something else I need to do?

What I did, so people could have another NFL table from different author work as intended, was I added script command to call the Sound Mode in Table Init sub.

Then I add script command in Table Exit sub to shut it off when table is closed.

This turns on Altsound when table is started, and shuts it off when table is closed.

 

Here is what the script command looks like...(Change "nfl" to the rom you are using. Not the VPMAlias name.)

Add this to Table Init Sub..

 

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

 

And then add this to Table Exit Sub...

 

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

 

So you are controlling when to turn on and off Altsound per table.

As soon as you exit table, Altsound is turned off.
