are you also putting the usePuPDriver.ini in the pup folder?

usePuPDriver.ini 113 B · 2 downloads

hey cliffy... maybe you have an idea on this... My issue is if I have the usePuPDriver.ini in the puppack... it the pup wont' launch at all.  The backglass and fulldmd are blank.  This is the same for futurama, Die Hard, Darkest Dungeon, Nightmare Before Xmas, etc.  If I put a _bak or remove the file.. the pup packs work... but I get some visual error on Die Hard and Masters of the Universe FP.  Any thoughts at all other than removing that file or making it a _bak?  I've been trying to fix this for like a year!  thx.

I dunno man. Here's where it is in my setup. As directed, in the pupvideos folder, not the game pup folder and not pinupsystem

Interesting as many of the newer ones I mentioned above have that file in the pup file for the specific table... I'll try and move it and see what happens... thx

and it says this in the ini file as well:

#DO NOT REMOVE THIS FILE KEEP IN ROOT OF PuPPACK to Change Default PUP driver.
[PINUP]
Driver=PinUPDisplayX.exe

This looks like a very nice pack, unfortunately I cannot get any video to play on the backglass, it has the animated overlay (Map or Ocean) but just black inside the frame (perhaps no events are triggering the video?). Also in my topper there's an image of one of the characters and a large block of black above it that spills out of the top of the topper window.  I've tried many of the layout options but they still have the same issues.

Software: VPX 10.8GL x64, VPinMAME 3.6, B2S 2.1.3, FlexDMD 1.9.1, Freezy 2.3.1, Pinup Popper 1.5
Screens: PF: Sony X85K 4k 120hz Portrait, BG/FullDMD: 1080p 60hz Portrait, Topper: UHD 60hz Landscape 
Computer: Ryzen 9 5900X, 64GB, RTX 4080 Super, NVME, Win 11

Sorry you're having issues, but thanks for all the information.

It’s been a while since I’ve had to deal with anything with this pup-pack, but let's try to address the videos not playing first.

Please verify that VLC is NOT a version above 2.8.

Check that your B2S Backglass Server is in EXE mode and that Activate plugins is checked.

The GL versions of VPX can sometimes cause issues, but I’m hesitant to point that direction.

 

Is it possible that the black bleeding onto your topper is coming from the Aztec coin animations?

If so try taking the improved animations I’ve attached here, (provided by Panasony) and dropping them into the pup-pack overwriting existing files.

Thanks for the reply. I will try this in the next few days and respond with the results.

Thanks for these files. Unfortunately they did not solve the issue. I’m always run in exe mode and plugins are enabled. 

 

 

My table uses potc_600af so I’m not sure if that may be the issue.

Only use potc_600as. It works the best with the color dmd as well as the pup pack

Cliffy is on the money!

 

Also, no guarantee, but rather than posting here in the old work in progress thread you might get additional responses and suggestions if you shared your issue in the POTC pup-packs comments.

I appreciate you trying to help, I think I'll just set this aside for now and stick with the b2S.
