DOF Feedback Always On in VPX

[izzbo]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm having an issue using VPX 10.8 and DOF where the DOF Controller Options in the Keys, Nudge and DOF preferences don't seem to have any effect. My solenoids are always active and the sound is always active (active means they are triggering when expected buy I cant set DOF to just use SSF or just use DOF). I'm running a Dude's Cab with 8 solenoids and a 7.2 SSF amp. I looked in the log files that showed up in the directory of the particular table I'm running and the only messages I see of any importance is saying I have no global config file or cabinet config file which is true (see log below) but since I'm only sunning solenoids I didn't think I needed a global or cabinet config file Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot?

 

I wanted to get debugging logging to work to I can't seem to get any additional logging. I added a DOFLinx.ini file to my DOF root, x64 and x86 folders with a single entry for debug and it doesn't seem to work.

 I ended up figuring out my issue. I tested on a few different tables and realized the dof preferences settings aren't applied for all tables Some tables "follow" the preferences but others don't. I didn't consider that. I just added 8 solenoids controlled by dof to my vpin so this is new to me.
