The UVP Server 0.68 crashing issue has been resolved by Pharaoh!! Please make sure when you add the timer code to the script that it looks exactly like this:

CODE

Sub Leds_Timer()
Dim ChgLED
ChgLED = Controller.ChangedLEDs(&Hffffffff, &Hffffffff)
End Sub

PLEASE DO NOT INDENT ANY LINES IN THE TIMER CODE!! This will make UVP Server 0.68 crash less often, but not completely.

If UVP server 0.68 keeps crashing, try using the UVP Medusa 2.1.0 created by Pharaoah.

Instructions on hiding the DMD LED display:
-Look for this code in the script:

CODE

       Else
        'Controller.Hidden = True
        Controller.Hidden = False
          If LedStatus = 1 Then ' Restore LED panel displays from storage array if LED display option is changed during the game

and change it to this:

CODE

       Else
        Controller.Hidden = True
        'Controller.Hidden = False
          If LedStatus = 1 Then ' Restore LED panel displays from storage array if LED display option is changed during the game

What is the voice saying after 'Time your shot' ?

What is the voice saying after 'Time your shot' ?

I think it says "light gorgons"

Great you've released this beauty conversion kruge99!

Coming back to afore mentioned UVP issue, it can't be a Windows 7 64bit compatibility issue while I've tested it on this O/S and worked 100% well as shown in the test-results I sent you earlier.

Anyone interested in the results, follow the links below:

VP 9.07 + UltraVPServer v0.6.8 + Medusa.vpt + UVP Medusa

Thanks for the great conversion!

p.s. I wish I could figure out what is different on your system Flying Dutchman, but I am glad it's working flawlessly for you!

I got it to behave by doing 2 things:
put the timer code in as suggested above
then make sure to comment out
'Controller.Hidden = False <-- like that
so you have:
Controller.Hidden = True

seems to work without any errors now
hope this helps . I love this table

Ah Ha!! So making certain that all the .Hidden statements are "true" or "1" all of the time will ensure that UVP Server 0.68 will stop crashing! Great work Pharaoh! Thanks for the fix!!!

Very weird, I put the LEDs timer on the table surface and UVP 0.68 crashes when I exit... sigh...

Im going to release an update.

It seems what it needed was those middle scores that are on the middle of the table.
I put them on the backglass. i made them small enough that they are invisible
to the naked eye. but if you look real hard you can find them. Consider it an easter egg
After adding them ive ran the table many times without a glitch. Ill keep running it and release
ver 2.1.0 of the UVP later today if im satisfied with the results.

pharaoh

[kruge99]

Woah! I never realized that those would need to be on the backglass, but it makes sense because when the vpinmame dmd is un-hidden, they are on the vpinmame DMD! Congrats on the fix Pharaoh!

This is a great table, but I have one problem. I can see the table through the ball, the ball is missing a shadow and I can see through the ball. Any thoughts?

That is PadDude's original ball image included with the table. That part of the ball is transparent to make it "appear" like the ball is reflecting the table as it rolls around.

If you don't like the look, simply replace the ball image with one of your choosing. Good Luck!


Best Regards,
Todd.

p.s. I happen to like the "faked" sort of reflection myself, but that's only my personal choice - you are welcome to use your own as always.

Thanks for the reply! Cheers!
