jasonsmith Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 A couple quick questions if I may: Upon running FPL I know it updates the settings.ini file, I think it may have overlapped or left some lines behind or was I supposed to delete them all prior to launch? Maybe it's just me? EDIT: Ya I see all the lines that had name changes remained, no big deal I guess as FPLuanch isn't looking for them anymore correct? [FPLaunch] exitScriptKey=q & s exitEmulatorKey=Esc <- DELETED hideCursor=true hideDesktop=true hideTaskbar=true toggleCursorKey=t useExitScreen=true usePauseKey=true <- DELETED useLoadScreen=true pauseKey=p <- DELETED fadespeed=25 useExitAsPause=true exitEmulatorKey2=1 <- DELETED exitEmulatorKey3=Enter <- DELETED pauseFPKey=RButton saveFPTables=true editTableKey=!F4 printScreenKey=o printBGKey=u pfScreenNum=1 bgScreenNum=2 useExitMenu=false upKey=LShift downKey=RShift instructionsKey=i flyerKey=f hyperScale=0.75 debugMode=false ledwiz=false hyperpinexe=hyperpin.exe exitKey=Esc exitKey1=p enterKey=1 enterKey1=Enter upKey1=LShift downKey1=RShift useLoadingScreen=true toggleLedwizKey=1 focusSleep=500 [LastLoad] Also here is a video of what mine is doing in HP, curious if this is all normal. Win7 64bit with HP running in Native Mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 EDIT: IGNORE THIS, file rebuilt on a different PC and it worked fine. RE: fpexetables.txt I'm having an issue with this. I set up the txt file as follows: table name (no .fpt) fpPhysics.exe [space] repeat I start HP and play a few tables. I return to the txt file after closing HP and all the exe lines have been removed for the exception of those tables that I played. If I relaunch HP again and play a table that used to have a exe line, I get the first loading image but then it freezes and does nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 Here is a bit more on focus problems. There are few things you can do to tune focus: first is tune focusSleep in settings from 100 to 1000 (or more or less - test what works on your rig - it depends on length of time it passes after table exits) if that doesn't help - you can remove first break from onexitscript loop and recompile - then all checks for focus will be made from fplaunch and from focus if (PID) { ; activate hyperpin ;WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% ;ExitApp loading = 1 Loop { break <- this one in this release you have focus diagnostic sounds so that you know what's going on right away, without looking at debug log later it is the same solenoid sound used in menus first sound means vp/fp is closed, second sound means fplaunch is closed and HP is acitvated, it can repeat several times cause focus script does win activate in a loop so if you hear two sounds and then you have black screen for few seconds and then hp has no focus - that means HP had focus shortly and then lost it what you then have to do is enlarge focusSleep time so that focus script detects that focus is lost and waits for it to come back again (through all black and white screens) default is 500, in last script it was 400 (but executed from fplaunch), my rig works just fine with 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I'm also not having any issues at 100. Is there anything that can be done about the black screen on table launch? It actually seems like it's taking a while to simply launch FP and get it into Play mode, could there be an issue with my FP setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 black and white screens are normal on win7 - i think you'll have them on any fplaunch - even 1.0 without menus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 With WIP 9 If compatibility mode is set to xp sp3, there are no white screens (but of course, longer table exit and memory leak eheh). The white screens are annoying enough that it has me considering staying with the memory leak. Crazy eh? I guess the white screens just break the illusion more, why white anyway? Where does it get it from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 I tested on win7 with oldest fplaunch 1.0 - there are also white screens. But there is no white screens if vp is not fs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 even with the compatibility setting you get white screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted February 12, 2013 Author Share Posted February 12, 2013 no, with compatibility on hp there is no white screens, but it gets slow after few hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Strange thing is, I'm not getting any white screens, just black and they don't go away not matter which mode I'm running in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonsmith Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 How to get rid of the VP Quit, Debug and Resume menu when pausing in HP? Is this a PinMame thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 You need to change the exit key in Hyperpin to the "e" key (instead of esc), then when you exit / pause a table it doesn't call the esc key and therefore that menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was afraid you were going to say that, problem is in FP I can't change the ESC to exit..I think... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 this is done in hp via settings.ini, not in the fp/vp programs. In settings.ini, under: [LastLoad]exitEmulatorKey=e then you need to change your exit button on your cab to the E key via ipac software (or I assume pinball wizard config software).

The problem for me is having to change the ipac2 setting but I guess I can for go using the cab button to exit FP when I'm testing tables etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 why is it a problem to change the ipac2 setting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I spend a lot of time playing with FP tables outside of HP, using the esc key to exit is a very nice to have for me so I don't have to dive down to the keyboard to exit a table. FP's exit key cannot be reprogrammed. Now that I have reprogrammed though I'll just have to live with it or program a shift key or something.

Loafmeister Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I understand, I just see it the other way around. If I'm just playing around in FP then the keyboard is nearby if I need to exit, but when I am entertaining via using the cab, that experience has to be seemless so the exit key mapped to "e" is priority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ya I hear ya. Now however after programming both FP and VP are crashing on start up. What the heck is going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 check fplaunch manual on hyperspin - you have a lot there about exitemulator key only if you use these latest builds - exitemulatorkey is renamed to exitkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jasonsmith Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Ya, I've read that many times but never wanted to change to "e" and never needed to but today I installed my very first VP table along side my 150 FP tables so that changed the game a little bit.

blur Posted February 13, 2013 Author Share Posted February 13, 2013 There ara cases when you can use Esc in fplaunch, but looks like it's not your case. I was using Esc on XP, fplaunch would stop Esc from going to vp or fp, but on windows 7 ahk doesn't stop the key so it makes problems in applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
