I haven't gone to the basement to test but here is the script with Deadpool. Every time I whip the script up another table is released so I'm sure The Walking Dead is right around the corner

Looks good on this side. Thanks Tom! Z

I'm seeing a weird bug in 1.82 (and the version above). If I start PBX manually the DMD videos work all the time, if I set the option in PBX Start with Windows to 'yes' and reboot, I get no DMD videos. Z

Looks great!!!!!! Now what format do the images and videos need to be in? I know open6l released a ton of DMD videos but those are for a third monitor. Z

Updated to include the new GameEX online options and new .xml/ahk scripts for Pinball FX2. Z PinballX_S2F_Documentation rev 1.08.pdf

New ahk script with 4 new SW tables: (Note I'm using the table names from the data dir so may need to rename the table titles)

If you have a BG image and a BG video with the same name, it will use the BG video. You do not need to remove the BG image. (Note: it will always default to the video first if you have both so you would need to rename the BG video if you want to use the BG image. Do you have any BG videos working in PBX? (maybe for VP or FP) This will tell us if you have the shark codecs installed. Z

Just in case those with the problem want to take a shot at it, here are the comments from the Hyperpin threads. (Note this is what fixed HP, not PBX but it's worth a shot) "I figured it out. I did not know that Hyperpin used Internet Explorer to display the card instructions. I had installed the flash player and plugin into Mozilla but not to IE." "All fixed it seems I was using the wrong version of autohotkey. Must use the anci 32 version not Unicode." Z

Is your BG video, in the BG video folder named the same as your BG image in the BG images folder? Lets leave game manager out of this for now. Your table, wheel images, dmd images, table video, table images, BG images, BG video, etc. should all have the exact same filename (with appropriate extensions) Also post a snippet of your pinballfx2.xml file. My guess is your hidebackground in not set to false. http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/13815-backglass-wont-load-with-table/?p=116419 Another reason your videos may not work could be they are the wrong format. Let's try to narrow down the issue first and see if it's a setup issue above. You can always download any working BG video from vpforums and rename it to a pinball fx2 table to test. Z

Tom is this a flash error? The reason I ask is because back in the day when I ran hyperpin, I could not get the instruction cards to work for nothing. Turns out you needed to install flash for internet explorer, and I was using Firefox all along. Once I install flash for ie, the instruction cards worked. Installing flash under Firefox did not help, and after installing flash for ie, I never used ie again on the cab. You know more about the internal workings of PBX so my post maybe totally unrelated.

YES!!!! I'm not going crazy hahahahaha BilboX, out of curiosity when you alt tab do you see U3D? I don't, I only see it in task manager. I know it's running because I hear the sounds and see the DMD. Z

I don't have a fix for you but I also see a similar issue. Check out #2: http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/13377-how-to-exit-with-options/#entry109219 Z

Did you install PBX as an admin and try running it as an admin after the install? Z

If you open your *.xml files in gamemanager (inside the PBX dir) it will add the extra lines. Z

I can answer your second question......In your Pinball FX2.xml file set your <hidedmd> and <hidebackglass> to FALSE <menu> <game name="MARVEL_DrStrange"> <description>Marvel - Dr Strange</description> <manufacturer>Zen</manufacturer> <year>2013</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>False</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game> <game name="MARVEL_Blade"> <description>Marvel - Blade</description> <manufacturer>Zen</manufacturer> <year>2013</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>False</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game> <game name="MARVEL_CaptainAmerica"> <description>Marvel - Captain America</description> <manufacturer>Zen</manufacturer> <year>2013</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game>

Try renaming the exe to vpinball.exe Z

I don't see why you can't add another emulator and call it Visual Pinball DX9, the same way we added a FP-BAM above. Heck you can probably have a VP8, VP9, VP DX9 and VP DX10 emulator all running under PBX. Z

I guess you have to play the table to advance the teams...anyway...here is the updated AHK script:

Les73gtx, How do you choose a team? I always see the Zen team highlighted but the flippers don't choose another team. I updated the AHK script for the new table so I'll post it here in a few. Z

The default.xml file has to be in the root of the BAM folder (so in my case its D:\Future Pinball-BAM\BAM\default.xml) not in the tables folder. Z

Do you mean the Company logos? I'm pretty sure 98% have been created, the other 2% is probably those obscure one off tables. I'm sure they are on the pinballx ftp site. Z

I'm going to put my Unit3D/PBX testing on hold until a few more people check in. (If anyone wants to kick this around I'm open to testing) If I run Unit3D Pinball.exe from explorer it opens then asks for a table and loads fine. If I run (start ->run) "D:\Unit3D Pinball\Unit3D Pinball.exe" "D:\Unit3D Pinball\TABLES\Scared Stiff\Scared Stiff.upt" it loads fine. Inside of PBX I start the table....PBX goes to the LOADING screen.....I can hear the table sounds and I see the DMD animations, but just a black screen. The issue I can't figure out is, it's not viewable when you alt-tab...there is no unity3d program hiding behind PBX. If I Ctrl-Alt-Delete I see the Unit3d Pinball.exe running in the processes tab but not the applications tab. Z

Sorry I can only speak from a two monitors/real DMD setup. Z

Just to set the stage, I originally had FP, then FP with BAM came out. Because it was so new I decided to test it stand alone so it I could play without breaking my master FP install. Ok, I'll try to describe this the best I can since I'm not at my cab right now. 1) Leave all your tables in one XML file. 2) You will load the SAME fp.exe for ALL your tables (see #3) 3) This is the beauty of BAM, one fp.exe can load original fp, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, zed ,etc tables. You load different physics by assigning an XML to each table. Under your BAM folder you'll notice an XML dir which contains different physics file. So you want to load Cyclone Ultimate 1.02 (Williams 1981).fpt with physics 2.6.......COPY the fp-p2.6.xml to your tables dir and rename to Cyclone Ultimate 1.02 (Williams 1981).xml. With the exception of ZED tables each .fpt table should have an xml file with two exceptions: a. ZED tables usually come with a .fpt and .zip file (the physics file is in the .zip file, so you just copy the zip/fpt into your tables folder b. If you have a lot of tables you can leverage the default.xml. This file is a copy of ONE of the XML files which is copied to the root of your BAM folder. ANY table that does not have a corresponding xml file in the tables dir will use the default.xml (physics) I could merge my FP installs if I wanted to by copying all my FP\tables to FP-BAM\tables and making sure the default.xml file in the root BAM folder is a copy of the fp-org.xml. So loading an original FP table, will load the default.xml (which is a copy of the fp-org.xml) A table like Cyclone Ultimate 1.02 (Williams 1981).fpt will have a Cyclone Ultimate 1.02 (Williams 1981).xml (which is a copy of the fp-p2.6.xml) A table like Addams Family Pinball Gold 2.5 (Midway 1992).fpt will have a Addams Family Pinball Gold 2.5 (Midway 1992).xml (which is a copy of the fp-p2.7.xml) BAM will do all you requested. Z

Tom, Can you whip up a test pinballx.exe to try and bring the Unit3d program to the front? Z
