  VPX - Pinball Tables

 

[Crrispy]

Thanks, the most incredible original table to date!

[mikebunting]

My guess is that I’m not updated to meet the requirements but I also question this because I’m running both x64 and x86 VPX with Nailbusters beta bonanza that includes the auto update feature.  I run that and it tells me everything is up to date.  This is the only table giving me an issue.  
 

The rotation I can likely fix, once I find where to do so again. It’s. Even awhile since I’ve had to do that on a table.

 

is the white shading/color normal on load?  I doubt it.  Thanks for any help and assistance!

The white is missing textures, likely from running out of memory in x86.  If they are there in x64 then they've been lost from the table file and you'll need to re-download.

To fix the view, first make sure your RL screen and eye measurements are in VPX Video settings, then:  F12, Plunger, Flippers and MagnaSaves to adjust, Start to save, F12 to resume playing.

Thanks a lot for this table, but if I have only "ZEDMD" on my mpincab , i don't need the Pupack files?

Because the tables is working, but I have not any score displayed....

You'll need PuP.  No DMD on this one, just the modern screen display.  There is an option to display it on the backglass, though

[Tedcomun]

thanks for your response, I will find the option to display on the backglass only in the PinUP Popper and Player Upgrade v1.5 ?

If yes I will have to re install it, because I have an SQL error when I run PinUpMenuSetup

Once you have your screens set up in Pinup, you run a .bat file in the Die Hard folder

[Tedcomun]

The .bat files is generated by Pinup? if not don't know how to make it

[Saveoldstuff]

The .bat file's are inside the PuP Pack you downloaded from MEGA.  The Folder "DieHard" must be inside your Popper/PinUpSystem Install Folder. 

 

Example: C:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\DieHard

 

There you have 3 .bat files named Option 1-3. You have to choose the right one matching your setup.  

 

Maybe you get SQL Errors because of this --> https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=pinup_upgrade_v15

 

From Nailbusters Upgrade Instructions:

 

"YOU MUST RUN PinUPMENUSetup.exe after overwriting files as that will prompt you to upgrade the DB. The db update process is automatic and should just 'work'."

Hey guys wonderful table, plays great. I did have a question regarding the use of F12 for the menu. Where do I change this in the script if I want to use another button? I currently use F12 for other things. Also, is there a way to disable the flashing lights that surround the cabinet in VR (guess they come from underneath the table)? It's a little bit much for my eyes. Thanks.

[Ski43]

 link to the Pup Pack seems to not be working for me. I get this error.

 

The file you are trying to download is no longer available

This could be due to the following reasons:

The file has been removed as it violated our Terms of Service.

Invalid URL - the link you are trying to access does not exist.

The file has been deleted by the user.

 

Would it be possible to get a working link?  From what I've seen this table looks amazing.

Never mind i found the solution. problem was completely on my end

Problem solved

thanks for the response, very clear.

I made exactly what the instructions said and it was exactly when I ran Pinupsetup.exe just after overwrited the files that I had a SQl error.

I will re-install Pup.

As far as I know you must use F12, but it’s a new feature and I’m looking into it. If you don’t like the flashing in the helipad vr room, try the minimal room instead.

Update: you can define which key activates the menu in your vpx keys settings.

 Re-downloading the table file fixed all my issues. Thanks so much!

Thanks I’ll check it out.

Love this table but it only fills up about 2/3 of the screen, how can I fix that issue?

 Run the table and press F12. From there use the flipper/magnasave buttons to adjust the size and POV to your liking. When done press the Start button (or 1 on keyboard) to save the settings.

Ok I'm guessing this is labeled as "Tweak" in the VPX keys menu, haha. I believe this is still a work in progress for VR as the menu is so small (and double vision as it's duplicated across the eyes) that you can't really read it. Looks like if we are going to be using this going forward I'll have to look at defining it for my cab, maybe via a shifted key. Thanks.

[apophis]

Yea. We are using beta features in VPX. There are still some little bugs, but they will get fixed. 

[mrpuff]

Have everything enabled for iScored. Is that something that will updated in real-time or monthly? Cuz I've got some scores to post...just sayin
Great Job Guys!! Ty!

When you have the rotation issue an easier fix than tweaking after hitting F12...  In the Visual pinball editor for this table hit the little pinball machine icon in the upper left (below the magnifying glass).  This brings up the properties on the right side of your screen.  Under "Viewport Transform" set your rotation to 270, save, and it should be ready for the cab.

I’m stumped guys, can’t get Dof to work with this table. I updated my dofconfig files several times and verified diehard is in there now.   I’m updated on everything and tables run perfectly.  I’ve tried 10.8 beta 1807,1836,1904,1911.  No luck.  Dof is working on all other tables so I can’t figure out why this one isn’t firing my rgb buttons,shaker,beacon,flashers.  I do have SsF sounds.  Any thoughts much appreciated.  I’m out of ideas. 😊

Having this exact same issue. Have tried re-downloading DOF config files as well as the table and Pup. All other tables, (actually Blood Machines has no DOF either) work fine.
