VPX 10.8.0 XXX(beta) POV / Settings Very Frustrating

[TimDp]

Yes, there have been some issues with the ball dimensions. Long story. See https://github.com/vpinball/vpinball/issues/1322

 

But it should be solved with the latest build. I haven’t tested it yet.

I did all of this and it didn't fix the issue. I upgraded to 1869 and it's fixed so it was a known issue.

Nice. The new POV is awesome.

what are we running? 10.8.1, 10.8.0, 10.7.4? what Ver.?

 

I'm running 10.8.0 1869, had to come back from 10.8.1 because of my KL25Z nudge not working. 

now it works fine but TILT still not working.

How do you set your POV default? I only know how to save for one table start key. I can't figure out was saves it globbly. Thanks for your help.

Like shushko stated above.... I'm running RC1 now and I cannot set my table dimensions.  Is there any step by step procedures we can refer to yet?

Global setting of playfield dimensions is only possible before loading a table in the editor. Launch the editor by itself, enter all the required values (monitor width, height, angle and viewing height) and hit save. When you restart the editor the values should hold.

It was not clear at all that "Plunger: Export setting to .ini" means also to save the changes I made. Yes now I understand that the .ini is the dedicated ini for the table, but why be so convoluted, why not say "Plunger: Commit changes" or save changes or w/e? 

Export sounds like it sounds like, exporting the settings for use on other tables or even as backup...

A bit late, but maybe still a lot of people are confused about the POV settings.

 

F12 brings up the menu

Adjust with flippers (or shifts) and magna (or Ctrl keys) till its OK

Save with pressing start (or  the'1' key) and do NOT save the POV via the menu editor export as POV

(Look at the saved ini file differences to convince yourself it are two different scripted  files)

 

NB using 10.8 beta 1947

Sorry if Im a bit slow here, but can someone clarify for me ifd there is a default file that VPX108 uses for a tables POV or do you HAVE to make a separate file for each one. I have learned the old .pov file is gone, and so has the autopov.pov, but nothing suggests there is a replacement that I can find. I have hundreds of tables that worked fine, but since upgrading to 108 (just by using popper to update) none of my tables are even the right rotation. My setup is typical popper installer (Playfield, DMD, Backglass, topper). Help please, I am hoping I dont have F12 every table!

The new 10.8 executive can coexist with your old 10.7 in the same folder, just name them differently. You can continue to launch your old tables using 10.7 which will read .pov files just as before. However anything you're going to launch with 10.8 will require creation of individual .ini files using the F12 menu. Make sure you save your playfield dimensions in the global 10.8 video settings, so when you go into the F12 POV adjustment screen and hit the launch button (enter key) the table will auto format, with just small tweaks remaining to do manually.

No more new ".pov" files; all viewing related settings - and all other table related settings - are now stored in  .ini

You can choose if you want to save it globally or as "tablename".ini

But VPX can still read (and use) the old .pov files

Hate to bump such an old thread, but how do you have a POV globally? I remember doing this in the pass via an ini file, but I can't seem to find the correct filename to save it under.

My this was a min ago lol, If I am not mistaken the "ScreenRes.txt" is the "global" file.

Let me know how it works out. Also don't forget if a table already has a POV file the global file will not effects those files.

 

Cheers!

Hi,

all global settings are stored in c:\users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\VPinballX in vpinballx.ini

all "per table" settings are stored in "tablename".ini
