Hi everyone, I am kind of Newbie with VPX :

 

I usually move the Scoreboard around so that it fits on my ONLY 1 Screen setup in Vertical display .  But for this specific table, when I use the Edit Mode, I cannot see the Scoreboard element ( POV or Back glass ) so that I could select/unlock it and move it around ... 

 

How can I make it visible in the Edit Mode ?

Try opening table in the editor, and click Script, and go to LINE 49 and you will see this...

 

If Table1.ShowDT = True then
    UseFlexDMD = False
Else
    UseFlexDMD = True
End If

 

Change Line 50 from False to True, so it will look like this...

 

If Table1.ShowDT = True then
    UseFlexDMD = True
Else
    UseFlexDMD = True
End If

 

Start the table.

Now the FlexDMD window should pop up, allowing you to resize and move it.

Save table after making changes,

Thank You for fast reply !

 

I made the proposed changes but unfortunately it still not showing up in the VPX Edit Mode ...

 

This is what I usually do :

 

1 - I start VPX and run the Table to see if the DMD fits my display

 

2 - In Kill Bill case, I can see the DMD but it is too much to the left so I barely see a part of it

 

3 - I then Close VPX

 

4 - I start VPX once more but this time I only load the table ( I do not run it )

 

5 - I use the Toolbar to Toggle between both of the Back Glass views to Locate in which the Score Board is visible

 

6 - I select the Score Board Object, unlock it and move it around to fit my Vertical Screen View

 

But for Kill Bill, Step 5 do not show any Score Board ...  Why ?

 

( On other Tables, Step 5 shows the Score Board :) )

This table is a MOD of my IT table. And in all my original tables I made a special DMD for the desktop mode which uses 42 flashers. These are not on the backdrop of the table, but at the side of the table. They are not very easy to move, as you'll need to rotate them a little, but with some practice you'll get it :)

By the way, Thanks a lot for all those tables with special DMD  :otvclap:

 

I usually can do it but on Kill Bill, I am not able to SINCE i cannot locate the DMD in the editor mode ...
