I can't see the script

[fpetrolo]

Hello, I wanted to make a query, I don't know if there was already a topic with my problem, it turns out that this started to happen now, I want to open the script of a table (it doesn't matter which one, it happens with all of them) and I can't see it, a table opens window but the script does not appear, is there a way to fix it?

Thank

 

Hola, quería hacer una consulta, no se si ya habrá un tema con mi problema, resulta que esto empezó a pasar ahora, quiero abrir el script de una tabla (no importa cual, pasa con todas) y no lo puedo ver, se abre una ventana pero no aparece el script,  hay alguna manera de solucionarlo?

Gracias

@fpetrolo : That is a know bug, that has been fixed in newer vpx. So, I advice you to download the latest 10.7.2.

 

However, if you have already weird registry setting for the editor placement, the update might still honor that and you won't get to the editor. One easy way is to exit vpx, then open regedit and delete the editor registry hive. Defaults will then be loaded and you should be able to get to the script without issues.

 

start -> cntr + r - regedit <enter>

scroll down to \\hklm_user\software\visual pinball\vp10\editor (taken from memory - might be wrong, but, not by a mile) then just mark the 'editor' and press delete.

 

This is not dangerous, it just resets the editor settings. Well, if my memory of location is correct that is

@Thalamus Thank you very much for your help, memory did not fail you because that was the correct route, I did what you said and it worked perfectly, I also tell you that I am with version 10.7.2, I don't know why that happened, thanks again and regards.

Hmm. I thought that this bug was fixed. Guess not. On my end. Deleted whole VPX 10 registry, started vpx,  adjusted everything like I wanted it to be, exited and exported the whole vp10 hive. This was very useful while the bug with the side panels where always disappearing. Having registry backup for VP and Pinmame is quite essential to be honest. If you computer blows up, harddrive dies, you would like backup of pinmame too.

@Thalamus I'm just making a backup copy of all VP tables, B2S, Roms, etc, I don't want to imagine if I had to start over...

 

Thanks for the help...

 

Greetings.

@Thalamus I tried deleting the  editor registry, as well as the entire vp10 registery, but I'm still unable to bring up the script editor. The windows key + left key does nothing for me as well.

 

When I click on the scipt window on the script window, as illustrated in the OP, I have on the top left corner, a text bar that reads out the duplicate definition in the script that I'm trying to resolve, and nothing else.

 

Do you know anything else about what might be causing this?

seems like script windows is elsewhere outside of your screen.. did you try to reset window positions in editor? Preferences UI/editor options

Good suggestion from Tikimaster there.

 

One has to remember that with 10.8 there are more than ... one change. Many of the things that used registry in 10.7 - you'll find in %appdata%\vpinballx as vpinballx.ini ( windows + r - fill in that %appdata\vpinballx and press enter. Just renamed that file to vpinballx.ini_ or something. Start once, does it help ? If not,  exit, delete the newly created one and rename the other back.

 

Mind you, you can under preferences decide NOT to put it under that folder. It will be written to your default VP install if you tick that under preferences.

 

Oh. I come to think of another thing that could be ... the table might be locked. You find that under the Table dropdown menu. You need to unlock to get the script button to work if it is.

TikiMaster's suggestion seemed likely, but on a table with no script error, nothing happened, and on the table with the script I need to edit, it caused a general "VPX was forced to close" error.

Thalamus' advice is what fixed the problem for me, all table scripts are now appearing. 

 

Thank you both for your help!
