Hello everyone,
 
I attempted to play the Time 2000 table that I found at https://www.vpforums...=30784&p=300425 (Time 2000 rc by MaX).  The scores, number of balls, and number of credits can be displayed in 10.7.3.  However, under 10.8.0 beta release 2015, those same scores are not displayed.  How can I fix this so that the scores can be displayed in 10.8?
 
Please let me know if you need more information.  I'm a n00b at this stuff

There is no easy solution, you'll need to edit the lights, so I recommend you play it with 10.7. You don't win anything by playing it with VPX8, on the contrary the lights will look too bright.

Yeah, that is going to be a problem.  I'm using 10.8 of VPX Standalone in my Batocera setup.  I can't downgrade to an earlier version.  One thing I have noticed is that there appears to be an interesting part of the vbs script that I've never seen before.  It looks like this:

There's also this delightful bit of code that I've never seen before:

I believe that the arrays may be tripping up 10.8, but I'm not yet smart enough to know if that's really the case.  I'm willing to tinker with the script for a bit.  Note that all other lights do work - just not the scores, the credits remaining/match feature, and ball in play.

As I told you, you only needed to adjust the lights, as in VPX8 are different than in previous VPX.

The script is right. Here you have the table with the lights adjusted for VPX8:

Awesome!  Thanks a lot!  I know you said the lights were adjusted.  What variables needed to be adjusted in the table?

The lights were from the older VPX, and when running under VPX8 the lights became of type classic, which needs to have an image under them. So, I change the lights to Halo type, and adjusted their intensity and height, Now they can be turned on or off regardless of the image under them. I didn't make any changes to the script.

Thank you so much for your explanation. It helps me learn

How long is your day, JP? 34 hours? You are in the progress of re-update and re-upload your 230+ tables - and find additional time to correct other tables. Amazing !

Well, my day is 24h, but I have a cold and I can't sleep more than 1-2 hours and then I start coughing The good thing of being retired is that I can sleep at any hour So, let's go for a few more playfields
