Possible bug report:  If you hit both CTRL keys/Magna save at the same time the script crashes. Is this just my setup or is it a table problem?

What version of vpx are you using? I'm running vpx 10.8 beta 8 (1836) dx x64 and magna key menu works for me

[Shadowsclassic]

10.8.0 beta rev.1347 64.  I will try updating, and see if that solves it. Let you know.

[Cliffy]

@Flupper needs to clarify in the vp version tab that it requires 10.8 beta 7 (1807) x64 at minimum. Just 10.8 beta is not sufficient as teh new pov and menu system has changed as of beta 7. We are actually at beta 8 now but 7 works perfectly with this table

[Flupper]

This is the first sentence of the description…:

*** use 10.8 beta 7 or higher ***

[Cliffy]

excellent. Needs to be in version tab too  Otherwise you get what you see above. well, you'll probably still get that I suppose if folks don't click the tabs or read descriptions

[Flupper]

In the version tab I could only select 10.8

Well, it now brings up the color saturation menu and doesn't crash, but now all my tables are in desktop mode and I can't seem to find the full screen button.  Any idea how to rotate these tables back?

Oh, sorry for the callout then. Just trying to help you avoid unnecessary support messages. Maybe we can ask @Dazz if there's a way to add the new betas to the dropdown.

I believe that's in the F12 menu

[Calwin]

Anyone else not getting any table/rom sounds?

 

I’ve made sure the volume via the coindoor options are up but still nothing.

Hrm, table is coming up rotated incorrectly.  Running 1836 build so shouldn't be that - and if I rotate 270, POV is ALL screwed up.

 

*EDIT*...well...I'm an idiot.  If you do manual update, make sure to rename vpinballx64.exe to vpinballx.exe!  All works fine now.

I'm running into the same issue on my cab -- the screen is rotated either 90 or 270 degrees.  I've run beta 7, beta 8, tried rotating the camera view 90 and 270 degrees, changed the name of the executable to vpinballx.exe (as suggested above), but the view never changes.  Any other suggestions?

Hi, and thanks for the great table. I was playing the 1.1 version according the .vpx filename (1.1 is also mentioned in the script), but the table info says 1.0. Suddenly, after nice scores during the first ball I got run-time error with undefined 'Rules' on line 228. Has this been corrected on the version 1.2, should I update?

[gamerplayer861]

After testing a little bit more, I am quite sure that the original issue wasn't the Rules variable actually. I think I pressed the R button while I tried to get some reaction from the frozen game, but the original symptoms were not replicated. What initially happened was that during the game the DMD suddenly went erratic and some of the sound effects started to loop. The ball and flippers still moved until I shot the ball into the no-way-out and the table stayed jammed.

Edit: I had to download the rom from vpforums for it to work properly.  It would seem like the rom on vpuniverse is bad.

 

Same thing here, I am using vpx 10.8 beta 8 (1836) dx x64.  I get a test report when the table is initializing and if I hit enter to see the test result I then get a "Sound Board Interface Error".  If I do not hit enter when prompted, I am unable to open to coin door, nothing happens.

 

Other tables I tested are fine in vpx 10.8 beta though this is my first time using a beta.

Stumbled across a weird issue, haven’t seen anyone else mention it. 
 

whenever the ball travels from the whirlpool to the lost mine, the ball disappears. The shadow moves across the playfield, but the ball is gone. Seems to be only during this particular path of travel. Happens every time. 
 

running 10.8 beta 8.

The ball is under the playfield then, going through a subway to the VUK.  There is code to disable the shadow whenever a ball is below the pf - can't think of why it would be failing for you 🤷‍♂️

I am horrible with these ballshadows since I can't even get them working on my new project

Thanks, I'll dig into the script and see if there's anything obviously out of sorts.

[lminimart]

Love this beautiful new version of the table! Thanks so much for the updates. I do find a few things a bit off, tho.

 

1) the ball seems to get stuck often on top of the left plastic ramp, and it's a game-ended when it does

2) something feels a little odd about the upper playfield... the ball rolls back after exiting the vuk (wrong playfield angle...?) and the insanity falls shot rejects a bit more than it does on the real table

3) the lost mine kickout feels *far* too random in terms of exit angle.... in this video, you can see it tends to kick to the right flipper almost every single time, but in 1.2 it can kick all the way from between the flippers to the right outlane:

Downloaded a fresh copy of the vpx file in hopes that would fix it, but it did not.
 

Found the code for below the pf shadows - let's just say that's above my pay grade. I certainly haven't changed anything in the script in this region. Just the VPMModSol flashers to remove stuttering. Weird.

Thank you for this amazing table! 😊 

I'm just wondering if it's possible to disable the blur effect of the ball under the ramps in the script? Makes the shape of everything under it a bit different and so much harder to hit insanity falls shot and jackpot.
