in a 3 screen setup, I can't get the "backglass" to work.  I've created the alias.  I've put the 3 screen b2s in the tables folder along with the vpx table.  The star_tours folder is in the pupvideos folder.  The Full DMD is displaying, but the "backglass" is a grey screen.  I also ran the .bat file for the 3 screen option- just in case- but still no display.  Running using 10.8 64bit

 

Is the Puppack using the "Backglass" screen? or is it named something else that may be hidden on my default setup?   I know the Munsters tables  Puppaks was using the "Music" screen as the full DMD which took me a while to figure out.  

 

Also, there doesn't seem to be any media included in the current download.( i.e, wheel, backglass, or dmd image).  just FYI.

Okay, playing around with this for a while and I got the Backglass working.  Windows UAC was blocking the pupinit.bat file.  Not sure why as all my other pup tables work just fine.  

 

Anyway, great table. Thanks for all the work put into this, I really like it.

Hi; 

Does anyone know where I can find "Star Tours.directb2s"? 

It's not in the download package..

 

Thanks!

I've been working on 2.0 so haven't been around.  I'm sure you've found it by now, but the directb2s' are in the puppack options folder.

Sorry you are having issues.

 

Did you unblock the zip file before you unzipped it?

Make sure there are no blocked dll files in your vpinmame folder. (Unlikely, but worth checking.)

You are not using a GL version of VPX are you?

I notice you are using VPX - v10.8.0 Beta.

        ( I’ve read about memory issues similar to what you are experiencing with the beta version.)

Highly recommend upgrading VPX to v10.8 RC7

https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/releases/tag/v10.8.0-2046-043fac7

 

 

Other things you might check:

     (That may not have anything to do with this particular issue, but are recommended)

 

B2S server is version 2.1.2 or better

PinUpPlayer is 1.5

VLC is not a version above 2.8

Ho aggiornato ora Vpx alla versione 0.8.0-2046-043fac7-Release-win-x64,  ma continua ad andare in crash con questo Pup. Se cancello il PUP "star_tours" il tavolo funziona.

E' il primo tavolo, dopo averne installati circa 50 (molti dei quali con Pup), che non mi funziona

 

Ho Windows 10.

Non uso la versione GL di Vpx

B2S server è la versione 2.1.2

PinUpPlayer è 1.5.0.12

Vlc è 2.2.8.9

 

Grazie comunque!

Try starting the table without using the pup-pack.

 

To do so, view the table's script and change the following lines:

 

Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick

to

‘Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick

(just adding that single quote at the front to comment it out)

 

and change:

 

'Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French

to

Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French

(just removing that single quote at the front so it is no longer commented out)

 

Compile the script. Then initiate the game in VPX. (You won’t have any backglass or fulldmd.)

 

Press F1 and ensure Show DMD/Display and Use external DMD boxes are not checked then exit the game.

Now edit the script again and change those lines back the way they were.

 

‘Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick

back to

Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick

 

and

 

Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French

back to

‘Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French

 

Compile the script, pull the game up in VPX and have fun!

Ho fatto tutto quello che hai scritto.

Con il Pup attivo il tavolo una volta ha funzionato e poi più: quando và in crash Vpx , rimangono attivi Pinuplayer, Pinupdisplay e B2S server (devo killare i relativi processi).

 

Il PUP è visualizzato comunque in una finestra molto piccola (come un francobollo) sul Playfied. E se lo sposto sul Backglass rimane molto piccolo e non viene salvata la sua posizione.

 

Nell'immagine la porzione del desktop dove appaiono 3 clip senza il tavolo che è andato in crash.

 

Rinuncio ad avere il Pup per questo tavolo.

 

Ci sono una valanga di cose che non ho ancora capito ( e sono un informatico da quasi 40 anni! ) , sto andando a tentoni, sperimentando, e ogni tanto scopro o capisco qualcosa di nuovo.

 

Ti ringrazio per la disponibilità. Siete una comunità fantastica, ma per colpa vostra mi sto svenando per costruire un cabinato con 3 monitor, feedback (es. solenoidi), audio multicanale 🙂

 

 

[kcirrick]

I’m sorry you are still having issues and I understand if you want to give for now or at least until you build your cabinet.

 

This leads me to a question. Are you running a desktop system with a single screen or are you running a two screen system?

 

For a desktop system, if you run Option 3 – Desktop.bat it will copy the appropriate screens.pup, triggers.pup and playlists.pup to the root of your Star Tours folder. It will also copy PinUpPlayer.ini, PuPDesktopPunch.exe and pupinit.bat to the root of your Star Tours folder. For the desktop version you must manually copy the appropriate Star Tours.directb2s and Star Tours.res from the Option 3 – Desktop folder into your Tables folder.

 

For a two screen system, if you run Option 2 – Two Screen.bat it will copy the appropriate screens.pup, triggers.pup and playlists.pup to the root of your Star Tours folder. PinUpPlayer.ini, PuPDesktopPunch.exe and pupinit.bat are NOT USED for a two screen system. You must manually copy the appropriate Star Tours.directb2s from the Option 2 - Two Screen folder into your tables folder. Star Tours.res is NOT USED for a two screen system.

 

For a three screen system, if you run Option 3 – Three Screen.bat it will copy the appropriate screens.pup, triggers.pup and playlists.pup to the root of your Star Tours folder. PinUpPlayer.ini, PuPDesktopPunch.exe and pupinit.bat are NOT USED for a three screen system. You must manually copy the appropriate Star Tours.directb2s from the Option 1 – Three Screen folder into your tables folder. Star Tours.res is NOT USED for a three screen system.

 

Thousands of people have downloaded and are enjoying Star Tours so the table and pup-pack do work. If you want to continue to work on getting Star Tours running just post and I will respond.

[serclaudio]

Ho 3 monitor funzionanti in Vpx. Ho provato più volte tutti e 3 i bat, con e senza b2s.

Comunque il tavolo funziona, non è essenziale il PupPack.

Farò altre prove, grazie !

👍

[kcirrick]

Glad you're at least enjoying the table.  It's much more fun with the pup-pack so if you have any questions in the future let me know. 😉

I recently installed this table and everything loads correctly (Backglass/DMD) but the table itself immediately crashes and disappears after loading

Sorry for not replying sooner.  I haven't been around for a while.

 

Often what fixes this issue is running the table without the pup-pack and then running it with the pup-pack.  The following instructions should be in the readme.txt file included with the table.

 

Load the table in VPX, but do not start the table
View the script and change:

Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick
to
‘Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick
(just adding that single quote to comment it out)

and change:

'Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French
to
Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French
(just removing that single quote so it is no longer commented out)

Compile the script. Then initiate (start) the game in VPX. (You won’t have any backglass or fulldmd.)

Press F1 and uncheck "Use External DMD" then exit the game.
 

Now edit the script again and change those lines back the way they were.

‘Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick
back to
Const cGameName = "star_tours" 'kcirrick

and

Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French
back to
‘Const cGameName = "alpok_f6" 'French

Compile the script. Pull the game up in VPX and see if it will play. 

 

For future reference, if you post on the tables download page comments rather than here in the forums, the chances of getting a helpful response is much greater.😉

Glad it worked for you!  

It's rare, but a few other people have had this same issue.  The fix was originally suggested by another community member.  I don't know how or why it works, but it does.

Enjoy!
