Hi,

In the github repository there is a new release of Visual Pinball, 10.8.1-5436

I'm trying to use the Windows version (x64 or x32, OpenGL or BGFX) on WIn10/Win11 with a keyboard but I'm unable to make it work

The program doesn't seem to config the keys (using F2 shows ? near everywhere) even if the new VpinballX.ini that is created at first launch seems to have imported correctly the old configuration from 10.8.1-3788

Moreover the 5436 version doesn't show anymore some menus (Audio opt, Video opt, VR settings, Configure keys...) and I don't find anywhere in the docs a reference to configure the new VpinballX.ini manually

To summarize: up to 10.8.1-3788 all the versions used a common VpinballX.ini ; from 10.8.1-5436 every version uses a distinct VpinballX.ini in a dedicated folder which is created automatically from the old one but it doesn't seem to work?

Is anyone using the new release / new betas and can help me configure it?

Thanks in advance,

SimonOwl

I'm using the latest bgfx version action today.
The keys used are:
Right/left shift flippers
1 is start game
5 is usually coin in
Left/right ctrl is magnasave
Then here are keys for nudge
Lockbar etc
You just need to launch a table... any table
Id use the new table..
Launch it pres f12 a menu will open.
From that menu you adjust all settings and plugins.
There is an input section it will show all the keyboard keys for all the commands

Yaeh!! I don´t like this method.

It is good if you want a especific table settings

I think they want to VPX close FP settings methods.

 

I like to do my settings direct in VPX GUI.

In VPX 10.80 Versions

I'm not very happy either with those options. I prefer to enter the values manually instead of using sliders. But I understand it is easier for normal players. It takes some time to adjust to a new interface

Thanks, It works.

It seems that now the keys are written in the [Input] section of VPinballX.ini:

 

[Input]
NudgeSensorCount = 
PlungerSensorCount = 
Devices = Key
Device.Key.Type = 1
Device.Key.NoAutoLayout = 
Device.Mouse.Type = 
Device.Mouse.NoAutoLayout = 
Device.Key.Name = Keyboards
Device.Mouse.Name = 
Mapping.LeftFlipper = Key;4
Mapping.RightFlipper = Key;14
Mapping.LeftStagedFlipper = Key;4
Mapping.RightStagedFlipper = Key;14 .......

 

but it seems the DirectInput codes are not used anymore.

Does anyone have a reference for the new mapping key->code?

At least for some of the graphic setting: now if you want to change the renderer (for example OpenGL -> Vukan), you need to launch the table, change the setting, exit and reenter

Moreover, when you save, it changes the settings for all the tables: I don't see a button to save the configuration for the open table only

I play with stereo 3D passive output on.

In VPX 10.80 GL - 2051 when F12 is pressed, the settings still over the table in a 2D view clear to read.

In the VPX 10.81 Vulkan or GL, when F12 is pressed, the settings are blurred and the mouse don´t keep the real position to set.

I need to change 2D view but it is not possible to adjust my .INI file view this way. I can´t read.

But it is my situation. A normal 2D works fine.

The VPX 10.81 GL It is not so good as VPX 10.80 GL in 3D mode yet.

I wont be using 10.8.1 until an official release as its WIP.

Can be used but there can be issues, so id rather not.
