You should only get a shader error if using the GL version of vpx, and in that case you need to update the shaders folder that was included in whatever vpx 10.8 gl zip you downloaded. Also always update the scripts folder the same way

Quick question. I have a "shader" folder which came from the new 10.8 betas and I have a "Shaders" folder which seems to only contain three files related to PinCab and Reshade. Is " shader" correct, or should all shader files be in "Shaders"?

shader

Thanks for your hard work. You should implement some kind of ball seeker routine to avoid the ball will be stuck here forever after a multiball.

Hey guys,
 

I have a weird bug where after saving the table in the editor it doesn't launch anymore. Before I hit "save" in the editor, it launches fine.
 

I only changed line 44 (Const FlexDMDHighQuality = FALSE), and it compiled succesfully.  It even launches and applies the changes as it should, however one I save the changes in the editor, it doesn't work anymore (vpx stuck at "starting game scripts")

You need the latest revision/action of FlexDMD from github.  You need a github account to get it.  The action is called "Fix crash when loading images from VPX files".

Thank you for your reply. I've installed the newest version of FlexDMD. I've also updated my Freezy's DMD Extensions. When launching the FlexDMDui.exe all points are checked with a green checkmark so I assume everything should be installed correctly. Table works fine when I put the new .vpx file into the table folder. But once I hit "save" in the editor, it gets stuck at "Starting Game Scripts"

Change line 44 of the script to False from True and it should fix the Dmd issue

Fixed my DMD issue, but I had to change mine from True to False. Thanks!

Que dois-je faire pour le faire fonctionner en mode bureau ? Le mieux que j'obtienne, c'est qu'il fonctionne, mais aucun score n'est visible ? PuP Pack est installé, mais il n'y a pas d'option pour le mode bureau. Uniquement pour 2, 3, 4 écrans.

J'ai la même chose que toi a tu réussi

How do you go to the script? 

 

Also mine in 10.8 is stuck like this. I tried to openit in 10.8 and change the view/offset, size etc, like I did with Police Force 10.8, but as soon as I change one parameter, like change the rotation to 180 vs 270 and save, the table won't load anymore. Then the pup pack is stuck on and won't close till I have to shut down the PC.  10.7 works and looks fine. 

I got the same issue. Did you get a solution?

[driver_x_one]

not yet. press f12 to enter screen adjustment settings once the game loads, press 1 to save I believe. 

[Ziggy]

I had to change the actual dimensions used for the FlexDMD.

Regardless if the table setting is true of false for Const FlexDMDHighQuality = False, the code has a very high setting for the DMD. 

Change to 256x64 for highquality (Maybe a higher resolution will work, but I had issues like others had) and 128x32 for regular.

Images used for the FlexDMD are very large in size located in the image manager but the scaling works for video but not when a 128x32 ZeDMD is used. 

The dimensions need to be 128x32.

This table does not use a rom.

[becausereasons]

Beautiful table, but mine has no music/rom style sounds on it, is that normal? It only has mechnical sounds.

Also can't seem to get the DMD to show up with the pup pack...

What do i have to do, to make it running in Desktop Mode ? The Best i achieve is, that it is running, but there is no score visible ? PuP Pack is installed, but there is no option for Desktop Mode. Only for 2, 3, 4 screens.

Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue

[rewindkid]

This table is great and had been running smoothly for a few weeks until recently, when without explanation I started getting severe playfield lag upon starting a game. Like 2 fps performance. After a great deal of troubleshooting I've determined the lag only occurs when I run the table with Cabinet view. (I have a three screen cab and this is my standard view in VPX settings - no other tables are affected.) If I override John Wick to a Desktop view the game plays smoothly. So I simply resized and positioned a Desktop POV to match my playfield and all is good - except I can't move the internal DMD. It's locked to the desktop top-left and is therefore is not visible (as I've resized the playfield for my cab). Now I have a smooth running game but no way to see the DMD. The PUP and backglass run fine. (Option 2 PUP)

 

Ideally I would like a solution that allows the game to play smoothly in Cabinet mode, my cab is more than capable of supporting high-end PC settings. I have played with various override settings but nothing changes, only switching to Desktop corrects the lag. I have no idea what changed to cause the problem. I haven't edited this file or my video settings prior to the issue, it just starting happening, and only on this table. All my other VPX tables run normally. Alternatively if there is a way to move or duplicate the internal DMD in the Desktop mode so I could reposition it, that would be fine too.

I just installed DOF, and the link to the GIF images is dead. Where can I find the SD GIF images?

This board is amazing, it's fantastic. But it doesn't have any music? The sound effects are great and all, but I'm not sure if it's just me or if it doesn't come with music by default.

Esta placa es increíble, es fantástica. ¿Pero no tiene música? Los efectos de sonido son geniales, pero no sé si es solo cosa mía o si no trae música por defecto.

Did you happen to find out if this board has music? Because in my case I only have the ball effects, but no music audio. I have the latest version 1.3
