Pinballx DOF Config

[Jodannar]

HI All,

I finally got my RGB LEDs all working today through VP and B2S. I have done the setup for pinballX also, but its failing to initialize. I have created a GlobalConfig_PinballX.xml, and placed the DirectOutput PinballX Plugin.dll within the pinabllx plugins directory. Its enabled and it can detect DOF. WHen i fire it up, i just get the below generic failed to initalise plugin within the logs. Any ideas? TO me everything should be working correctly.

A long time ago, i had my solenoids firing successfully within PinballX when scrolling as a test; so i have had this working before.

do you have the .Net requirements installed? I cant remember them of the top of my head. Check the DOF install guide. 

[Jodannar]

Yeah i do Kiwi. DOF works in all other ways for me. Just no PinballX DOF, lights or solenoids. All working within Visual pinball though

[Jodannar]

Anyone able to send me their GlobalConfig_PinballX.xml file to compare to mine? Does theirs match their GlobalConfig.xml file? combos etc all work fine when triggered by VP, but nothing for pinballX. Thanks in advance

Yep. I've followed those threads, and done as suggested with the GlobalConfig_PinballX.xml file, Thanks

 I'm asking here for something additional to that thread. DOF is working properly with all other apps, just not PinballX

I'll find mine for you, and upload soon if you need it still. 

 

[Jodannar]

Thanks. I haven't fiddled much more other than recreating the config file again, no luck

I have the same issue and log contents. If I find a solution I will post it here..

 

Update: got initial DOF working (flippers. rbg leds going left to right scrolling through tables). The only real thing I did was to move the DirectOutput directory to the root of C:. Not sure yet why it didn't work when the directory was in my c:\apps directory. Will do some more testing... 

PS all config files are located in the .\config directory.

I was having the same problem.... it was very frustrating as DOF was working great with everything but PinballX.  I finally managed to get it working by updating the PinballX.exe  to run in compatibility mode for Windows XP (Service Pack 3). My OS is Windows 10.

 

Hope that helps.

Thanks dlphin, ill give that a try. Is your global config pinballx file contents are  the same as your visual pinball global config?

Update:

Tried it, no change

Does anyone have any ideas or advice on this? ive done a full DOF reinstall and have the same issues. Everything works fine in visual pinball, but pinball throws the "Init failed: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation" error via the log.

[Jodannar]

Bump for any ideas or help

[Jodannar]

Any help with this? its driving me nuts. ive tried everything i can think of. DirectB2S on, off, removing all config files, placing them in pinball directory, in dog directory. No DOF in pinballX with the failed to initialise error. Works flawlessly in visual pinball and DOF test 

Pinballx in admin mode and normal, dolls all unblocked... grrrrgrrrrrg

[Thalamus]

I would help if I had any idea. Is this Win7 or Win10 ?

I have no idea as to how PinballX implements loading those "external" dll's - but, could it be that you need the same M$ patch that is recommended for dmd-ext ?

[Jodannar]

Windows 10. I use dmdext successfully for pinballfx so I don’t think it’s that. There’s a conflict somewhere though and I’m stumped
