2.21 - AIO Example table and tutorial updated to 3.30.01

What's New in Version 2.7   See changelog

Released

VR Settings fixes!

 

- new updated Install txt file (to act as a quick install - text only guide)

- new "BAM Settings for VR" to replace the files from 2.6 that had an incorrect DEV setting (that caused graphics glitches, missing items in VR only)

 

I highly recommend everyone install this update, to ensure you have proper updated BAM VR settings files!

 

If you have a working install from a previous version of this AIO package:

 

- then simply install the new files over your current install

- run the "BAM Settings - VR - Reset and Install.bat"

- run the "BAM Settings - Cabinet - Reset and Install.bat" or "BAM Settings - Desktop - Reset and Install.bat" for your setup

- use a "Start FP" bat file (that matches your setup) to run FP at least once with the proper settings applied

 

Read my included updated Guides as needed for whatever info you need!

I have been getting load times of 12-13 min plus on some of the PinEvent & PE Lite tables. I have no idea why. I saw this release today and figured "What could it hurt to try a wipe and restart as long as I back up first." 9 min after starting the process I had this fresh install complete with my tables, scripts, and libraries restored. Now my longest load time is 2 min on Death Star Assault. I really appreciate how easy to use this was and how much better a clean install is over a 3yo manual update build. Thank you.

Merci !!! 😍

 

J'avais la fameuse erreur : Pinball Mediation Error--variable is undefined FF_Init

 

Mais avec cette nouvelle installation, tout fonctionne parfaitement ! 😎

Simple and easy are not words that generally belong in the world of virtual pinball, at least not in my experience.  Having said that, this is as simple and straight forward as it gets, when it comes to Future Pinball.

Terry has combined the necessary software along with highly detailed and comprehensive instructions to make the process relatively painless.   

There are even bat files, preconfigured to load Future Pinball with the necessary configuration for tables that are either PinEvent Pup-Packs or backbox, saving you having to change the settings manually.

Thank you!

Thanks ! i found a false positive in this file that triggered my antivirus, but otherwise it works well !, afterwards i watched your YouTube video about it and says to put zip file before to unzip into antivirus exclusion.

I can't tell you how happy I am for this! Your FP tables are amazing (the best, actually), but I never had the time or patience to read through all the guides and tutorials to get your tables to work correctly.

 

Thank you so much!
