Cactus Canyon (& Continued) (Bally 1998) VPW Mod

One of my favorite tables and you did an awesome job. Thanks!

[solved]  It' s "tribute" mode.  I just didn't know how to actually start it.

So I'm playing CCC last night.  All is well, except for Drunken Multiball...  Anyway, all of a sudden the Scared Stiff logo appeared on my DMD and I hear SS music.  Then on every flipper click, it switches between SS, Monster Bash, Medieval Madness, Adams Family and maybe a few other Williams games...

This mode remained until Last Call.

Not sure how I got into it.  Anybody have a clue on this?

Here is what fixed the P-ROC B2S Backglass not closing for me when exiting the game...

Move 'Controller.Stop' after 'B2SController.Stop'

Sub Table1_exit()

     'Controller.Stop

     If B2SOn = True and PROC = 1 Then B2SController.Stop

     Controller.Pause = False

     Controller.Stop

     SaveValue TableName,"TrainPos",Train.TransX

End sub

Thanks all involved. Wicked table

Thanks for the update and  ofcource thanks all involved. Wicked table ..👌

First THANKS VPW (and all prior contributors), what an excellent surprise for sure today. The table downloads a single (.vpx not a .zip) version which appears to be just Cactus Canyon (Regular). Is there a flipswitch somewhere in the the table script that brings the CCC version to life, or is that a separate table download somewhere? Thanks all in advance - mrjc.

Yes in the table script

Thank you for the update.  This is a really fun table!  I appreciate the fixes to make it work with proc. 

Thanks @rothbauerw for the proper PROC fixes!

.... and thanks for the drop target "glance hits";  those were really buggin me.

Thank U Outhere, I found the switch. And my hat is really off to the VPW Team, I really like that you folded everything into 1 table including all the P-ROC stuff and all the game options and features switches.  A very thoughtful approach on everything. A great way to move forward building all the stuff in the script and for the VR setup too.  It is a real masterpiece and I'm learning a lot just by studying how you all approached the table script. E_X_C_E_L_E_N_T !!!!! VPW.

Thank you for the update!

Is there a tutorial around explaining how to install PROC and get CCC running?

Awesome job, as always! Thanks!

Is there a tutorial around explaining how to install PROC and get CCC running?

 Biet and others who may try, the P-Roc install is not overly complicated and is worth the time and effort to get CCC running and positioned for P-Roc for future games that use it.

1) Watch Major Frenchy's You tube on P-Roc

2) Obtain the P-Roc installer, extract the installer, and execute STEP1 and STEP2 scripts (installs Python and P-Roc)

3) Flip the P-Roc activation switch in the table script to =1 to activate the CCC version.

LINE 89 ----> Const PROC = 1                  '1=Use PROC, 0=Use VPinMAME

4) Depending on your screen setup you may have to reposition the P-Roc DMD in C:\P-ROC\games\cactuscanyon\config via file user_settings.yaml. I moved my X positioning.

Sample line ---> Color Display Pixel Size: 4, Color Display X Offset: 1924, Color Display Y Offset: 4,

Good luck and have fun, an ECELLENT table thanks again to VPW.

THANK YOU @mrjcrane!! these steps finally worked for me...  I installed again based on whats shown on the video. 
 

THANK YOU @outhere - I followed your tips on the other thread (Pin2DMD and P-ROC) - I used  Zadig to change the  Pin2DMD driver to WinUSB as suggested.  I then installed the two files as you suggested:  ep_desktop_pygame.py and libusb-1.0.dll  after I unblocked the files.

- put the ep_desktop_pygame.py in the C:\P-ROC\games\cactuscanyon\ep folder over wrote the one that was in there

- Put the libusb-1.0.dll in the C:\python27 folder where the python.exe is located 

-Open a CMD Window, and run pip install pyusb

And it said all is good...

Finally got the DMD showing on the Pin2DMD.  Fantastic!

libusb-1.0.dll ep_desktop_pygame.py

Man you guys really have the Midas Touch. Thanks VPW and all previous contributors! Making pinball dreams come true for so many of us. 😁

If you are talking about enabling proc, there is an option in the script. proc=1

No, i'm playing P-ROC but in this video we can see "extended mode" with some other options in game, at 1:39 for example, and also some add musics are nice too.

No. At least not now. From what I know. There is CCC and CCC extended version. "Our" - p-roc is the first one.

I can't seem to get CCC to work.     I am on 1.02 version of the game.    That game starts but acts like it is looking for lost ball .    Makes noises like it is ejecting and the train and mine move up and down.     Will not start or accept coins (though is makes coin drop sound.    I don't see anyone else is having this problem.    Help is appreciated.      I have set Proc = 1 in the script.

Sorry for the double post.
