Hi all,

 

How do I get ´Instruction Cards´to be shown up in PinballY!, like you can add ´Flyers´ to be shown up in the Table Menu?

I´ve tried many things, like to add an ´Instruction Card´ folder in the \PinballY\Media\Visual Pinball X section, but unfortunately without possitive result ..

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

Cheers,

FD.

Check your path for that folder and filename is like table.

Thanks Tesla .. I will check tonight if in PinballY! can be viewed from the Table's main menu or from the "Table is Paused" menu while a Table is loaded-up.

Naming is equal already .. ;-)

The folder I use to hold them is C:\PinballY\Media\Instruction Cards\ 

- Yours looks empty.

 

Seems like the filename of your Instruction Card image-files should be simpler.

It follows the Table's name in the PinballY database (similar to how it works with the other media files).

Is that long (complicated) name what shows in PinballY when you are browsing thru your tables?

 

An Example:

VPX file name: Addams Family (Bally1992) G5K-v2.3.2 B2S-Dicentim-v1.1.vpx

B2S-backglass file name: Addams Family (Bally1992) G5K-v2.3.2 B2S-Dicentim-v1.1.directb2s

PinballY (Selector Wheel Name): Addams Family

PinballY media-files: Addams Family (Bally 1992).*

Instruction Card: Addams Family (Bally 1992).png ,,, or *.jpg, *.gif, etc.

 

Just a general tip ...

My VPX and directB2S filenames are complex (I try to encode both authors into filename) ...

... but my PinballY database names are simple.

This facilities easy swapping of different VPX and directB2S files later without re-doing the captured media-files (which often don't need to be changed).
