I found and fixed this problem before.   Maybe I posted about it on Monsterbash though.   It's a setting - the game is coded to do this when in "test mode"  or something like that.  I'll try and track it down again.

*Edit* I'm pretty sure this was the "fakepinproc" ... and found my old post was on VPForums.

This needs to be false but it looks like Carny changed it back to true in his repo for some reason. 

I knew I'd had this issue before and then fixed it, and I remember doing this a few years ago pretty sure you linked your VPF post on a thread on MB

Mystery solved.

Thanks!!

Thanks for pointing the way. Brings up topics that I had completely forgotten in my old age. I went back and re-read my PM with ninuzzu. Setting to self.game.fakePinProc to False does fix MB but at least for ninuzzu he was having issues with the drop targets not registering hit events. The drop targets work correctly if self.game.fakePinProc is True. He had patched trough.py to comment out code that pauses auto-launching balls if in test mode. This was years ago. Since then, the port got off sync with the main project for over a year because we did not have all of the sounds assets that the main project code called for. It had been so long and so many commits had been made that I simply re-ported the game code from the main project repo once we had the current assets. Thought I had all of the VP specific changes in, but I had missed nizuzzu's patch. Code is now updated and the commit has been pushed into the pin2dmd branch. Let's see how it goes.

[Thalamus]

Added trough.py - thanks @CarnyPriest

[CarnyPriest]

Yes, but self.game.fakePinProc is True in game.py.

Fact is, people can get the current game code by running Install CCC.bat.

No need to have any bits of Python source code in the VBS script repo IMO.

[Thalamus]

I changed that some days ago. And you've got a point I guess. It is still kind of separate from the rest in that it is in it's own sub-folder. Doesn't hurt to have those files separated as a reminder for the future

[miguelcerca]

Thanks for getting this updated! 

Everything seems to be working correctly now with the 3.4 installer. 

3 ball multiballs and 3 ball last call

Only 2 balls in Marshall multiball, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be...

Thanks again

Awesome! After reading that, this game is now playing perfectly. 

Thanks again for all your work!

Does Everything in that link apply to the VP version or just certain parts?

[CarnyPriest]

I'm just answering a question specifically about two ball multiball.  No idea how accurate any of that site is. It's owned by the project author. He did mention that he lost the site last year and had to restore from archive.org., so I don't know that it is entirely up to date with the project code. The port itself is synced to the latest commits in the main project code. The ruleset should be the same as the current project code. I'm not aware of missing features with ninuzzu's table.

[goofything]

I've tried in the past unsuccessfully to get CCC running with no luck. Revisited it today to give it another try. I'm using the v3.4 installer package and the v2.0 VPX table. First try, I got an unexpected python error message while trying to load the table. So, I ran the uninstall bat file for a clean start, then ran the three P-roc installation bat procedures. But, I'm still getting the Python error. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong or have suggestions on how to fix it? Thanks.

[outhere]

If VP is on another drive other than C then you need to edit the file register_vpcom.py located in C:\P-ROC\tools\.   — Edit line 70:
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO, format=”%(asctime)s – %(name)s – %(levelname)s – %(message)s”, filename=“D:/log.txt”)
And you may have to make a log.txt file on that drive

[goofything]

Hi Outhere,

Thanks for the reply. I do have VP and PROC both installed on the C drive. Any other suggestions or things that I could check? I greatly appreciate it.

Cheers.

If you click OK, what happens then

Here's some info from the log file. There are a ton of errors for missing sounds that I edited out to shorten it:

I was able to get CCC running. Here's what I did in case anyone else comes along with a similar problem. I manually downloaded the assets needed for the game. Open the Install CCC.bat file with Notepad, go to the four sites in that file and download the four zip files that .bat file tries to grab automatically. Then unzip them and copy them into the P-Roc/games...folder.

What a cool table. I'm glad I was able to get it working. Worth the effort.

Thanks.

[jdsabin1]

Does volume work the same way as other tables normally do? IE ... end key then 8 or 9? The volume in this table by default is loud and I wanted to turn it down a bit. Thx. 

[outhere]

try just 8 or 9

 

[Sixtoe]

I thought I'd reply here as I was having problems on one of my machines, where it install flawlessly on one and didn't on the other.

It turns out after a lot of brain melting investigation that I managed to fix it (accidently?) by manually installing the python-2.7.13.msi, and I selected advanced and installed *all* the packages, not just the selected contents.

I'm not sure if it was co-incidence or not, but it seems to be working fine now, albeit the DMD display doesn't want to work with my LCD DMD screen as it's a larger aspect (chinese squished aspect 1280x1024 in a DMD sized screen) and you can't set the XY size only dot size, so after all this I'm probably going to ditch it anyway, but at least it's there...

Can someone tell me how to remove "free play" in this wonderful game ? I want to add my High-score on it!

You can't put the game in coinplay, its not coded. It was made for free play only. With that said there is no reason you can't add a high score. I know it works here.....

[batimanvesgo]

I have a problem in Step 2 ... "Installation FAILED. Exiting ...

Press any key to continue ... "

What can I do?

[xantari]

For anyone getting failures on 3.4 P-ROC install on step 2:

 Installing PyPinProc
Installation FAILED. Exiting....

Be sure no other versions of python are installed...

Looks like you need 2.7, but having 3.8.5 for instance caused me problems.

It appears Node.js installs newer version of Python as a dependency and that is what gets set in your environment variables.

Sigh.
