[jh798268]

Getting this error when trying to run Jaws P-Roc on install 3.4 - file attached. Any ideas how i can fix this  guys?

You may have to do this

Open Command Prompt window and type ---> pip install requests <--- hit enter

 I did what you suggested and although it did download some files I still get that same error in the above attached picture. This is where the current problem is.  Pulling from here - (SCRIPT FROM USER SETTINGS). The only user settings I see is inside the Jaws config folder called (game_user_settings.yaml)

The only settings i see in there is this: 
Gameplay (Feature): {Ball Save Timer: 10, Skillshot Autoplunge Timer: 3}
Machine (Coils): {Auto Plunger: 24}
Machine (Standard): {Attract Mode Music: 'On', Attract Mode Sounds: 'On', Balls Per Game: 3,
  Quick Bonus Mode: false}
Sound: {Initial volume: 5, Music volume offset: 0}

self.user_settings = self.load_settings(newpath + '/config/game_default_settings.yaml', newpath + '/config/game_user_settings.yaml')
        return self.user_settings[section][key]

So the below table code where it's failing - needs the correct key being passed from the code just above in register_vpcom.py  but can't find it even though the file is there with the keys?  Any other thoughts either you or anyone else? I really would like to get this going. I like these proc tables as well. Thanks for any help in this.

Wow I comment snds out because I’m hard of hearing... same error jh798268 I was amazed same error.. when I comment it out more problem. Evil Dead awesome game..???

Tried all of the steps people have mentioned on this thread but still get the "Fontmanager requires sdlttf" error on Evil Dead or Gremlins in P-Roc. Any other ideas that work?

 

OK - solved this for Evil Dead by reinstalling pysdl2 in python.

• Open a command window and change the directory to your Python install directory which should be C:\Python27
  • CD C:\Python27
• Then install pysdl2
  • pip install -U pysdl2
• Then install the pysdl2-dll that was erroring for me based on the "Fontmanger requires sdlttf"
  • pip install pysdl2-dll
• Now you should be able to launch the game in VPX using P-Roc

Anyone know how to solve "can't load proc" error? It seems that VPX 10.7 cannot find the proc com object. I ran the P-ROC_Offline_Installer-v3.4 and had no errors. I can also start ccc via "python game.py". The end of the installation process indicated that proc was running. I have rerun register_vpcom.py and it succeeds but VPX cannot load an always returns "can't load proc".  Everything is installed on c drive.  log.txt is empty because the proc is not able to be instantiated so it never creates any logging data.

 

I've also run through the evil dead installer and don't get any errors, but the result is the same. 

 

Any ideas?

@markmon Did you ever find a solution for this?  I had it working fine until the 10.7 upgrade.  Now same issue.

[CarnyPriest]

Not the same issue as @markmon but there was a recent change in controller.vbs that is causing this. I've already reported as bug:

 

https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/issues/619

 

You can downgrade to beta release 408 including the scripts. For me, clicking OK on the warning msgbox allows me to proceed through. I don't have this issue with Evil Dead but then that script would not allow a choice other than p-roc for a controller.

The issue is closed on github, but I have the same requester coming up.

 

Anyone able to solve this yet?

Beta7 works for me.
