If your intention is to use backglass (B2S Server) also, then you must use x86 (32 bit) version of VPX 'cause there is no a B2S x64 version so it will not work with Visual Pinball 10.7 x64.

Will be resolved the problem with the 3Dstereo and the alternative depth buffer compatibility before the final release?

[Guest fuzzel]

rev249 is up (Release Cadidate):

 

- added `Primitive` type to `Light Sequencer` (dynamic and static)

- fix bug with clicking an empty layer not selecting it internally

- add flashers to light sequence

- added flashers to light sequencer collection.

- make debug dialog (and its text edit) resizable and remove the expand button

Afaik there is no way to fix this...but Toxie is the expert in this 3Dstereo thing. Maybe you should contact him about this...

Hello tables that opened in previous release are now crashing with this version

[VPinWorkshop]

@fuzzel I'm sure you're away of this, but script search is currently broken

[Ecktown]

I have a problem with the sound. The sound effects break the music/sound from the ROM. It is only playable if I turn off sound effects completely. This is the only table I had this problem with. The problem is there with 10.6 and 10.7...

[BeachBumTN]

I was using an earlier version and had only one table out of hundreds that did not work. I updated to the most recent version based on JPs recommendation after sound issues on Deadpool. Now my Apollo 13 crashes on start. I will check

logs and test more but may have to use Pinup’s alt version to run  A13 on an earlier release. I do love 10.7 and appreciate the efforts and improvements.

Thanks outhere, I did grab JPs updated version today. I still wanted to report Apollo 13 crash on 249 release to see if anyone else encountered issues. I may try a few more tables before reverting. As mentioned, an earlier version of 10.7 worked flawlessly for dozens of tables. Great to see the continued efforts of fuzzel and all the other talented folks who continue to improve our experience - much appreciated!

Thanks @outhere!  I overlooked that post from Thalamus.  Thanks for sharing, I appreciate your assistance.

[BeachBumTN]

@outhere, everything is working well now. The table that had been crashing on the 249 version plays beautifully now. Seriously, thanks for taking time to point me to v258.

rev270 is up (Release Candidate):

 

- fix copy/paste issue for properties and other dialogs

- changed `SeqBlink` to accept a `TailLength` this fixes the sequencer getting stuck if value greater than 0 is sent. Any value higher than 0 will `Reverse`, where the lights will turn `off/on` instead of default `on/off`.

- mouse cords display in converted units in separate status column, disabled by default with VP units (no conversion).

- added lower case filtering to layers. added checkbox for users to toggle between case-sensitive filtering.

- add GetInPlayState to the light element: if Light Sequencer is running, returns the current state set by the Light Sequencer

- added tables to `File > New` menu. `strippedTable.vpx` and `lightSeqTable.vpx`, lightweight starter tables.

- properly initialize new LS variable

Hi. In 10.7 where abouts in the option to change the size, angle and position of the main playfield?

Was pretty easy to locate in 10.6.

[Thalamus]

Left of the play button. Please spend some time exploring instead of only playing. F5 to play and F6 to adjust works too -just like the old.

Trying to pay mars attacks it it crashes VPX 10.7rec270

[Thalamus]

What is mars attacks ? Is it Attack from Mars ? If so, please be more specific and provide a complete link to the table in question.

[LunatechFringe]

Is anyone else having problems with nudging using an accelerometer?  I have the latest version of Zeb's plunger with the latest firmware.  It was working before in older builds, but it doesn't seem to be working in this build.

RESOLVED:  Problem was related to NudgePlugIn.vbs.  Removing it from the tables directory brought back nudging, and my tilt bob still works.

When I start “cactus canyon “ I’ve get:

script error line 50

error loadVBSfilea

 

and 

script error line 178

“Controller”

 

this funny game works before

For those of you using Pinup Popper, are you finding much longer table load times with 10.7? I will try rev270 tonight but was just curious if the load times were only my configuration or others noticed this as well. 
 

Thanks and all of the work is appreciated.

[Thalamus]

If the load times goes up on 10.7, it has almost always been proved that it is related to something else you've got running. Teamviewer installed pr. example, other programs snooping the screen in one way or the other. There are a few discussion about it in the official beta thread, but, well - its a long read now

 

Actually, it is expected that 10.7 loads faster.

 

@LunatechFringe - explained what I believe is your "flawed resolve" above here : https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=27063&p=483104

[BeachBumTN]

Thanks Thalamus. Yes, I saw that thread. No Teamviewer and very barebones dedicated to pinball.  I will look and test further.
