Hi - I've downloaded some original JP tables for VPX (version 10.7.4) 

 

They all have a problem after I change the X-scale to 1.6 - after that a large part of the DMD isn't visible anymore. Tried right click on the DMD to be able to drag it, but it seems to be fixed and not adjustable. 

 

Checked the script, but I didn't find something obvious.

Try left clicking on the DMD and hold down left click and move mouse.

Those tables use a DMD made of 42 flashers and can't be moved with the mouse. It is a little tricky to move all those flashers and most of the time you need also to change the inclination of those flashers so they look squared. So the best option if you use FlexDMD also for desktop use. Find these lines at the beginning of the script:

 

' Use FlexDMD if in FS mode

Dim UseFlexDMD

If Table1.ShowDT = True then

    UseFlexDMD = False

Else

    UseFlexDMD = True

End If

 

And change The False to True:

 

' Use FlexDMD if in FS mode

Dim UseFlexDMD

If Table1.ShowDT = True then

    UseFlexDMD = True

Else

    UseFlexDMD = True

End If

 

Now the table will use FlexDMD and can be moved and resized with the mouse.

 

Newer tables, for VPX8, this DMD can be changed back and forth using the F12 menu.  For desktop use I prefer to use my DMD because it looks better and the table starts up much faster, which is important to me mostly when testing the tables

But if you have not updated yet to VPX8 you should do that, remember that VPX8 was released 1 year and 4 months ago And you are missing some very good tables

Thanks JP. I can indeed change the DMD size now! Unfortunately the DMD is now hidden behind the table. How can it be shown on top of the table?  *

 

BTW - VPX8 is slightly more demanding for my laptop and causes some microstutter so I am sticking to 10.7.4. 

I know I am going to miss some of your new and maybe nicer/better tables, but to be able to play your old VPX tables on my laptop is already better than I expected 

 

Edit:

 

* fixed it! In the video / graphics option "Force exclusive Fullscreen Mode" was set - unchecked it and now the DMD is on top of the table.
