Well it's not a nuke launcher problem it is a steam/ pinballfx problem. It does the same thing outside of pinballx and nuke launcher. I was just seeing if anybody has ran into this problem. I noticed a few people in this thread had complained of steam not closing after exit. After doing some research it seems to be a steam bug. I was just wondering if anybody might know a fix for it.

deleted xml and put all the games back in

Post your nuke ini file and your pinballx xml flle

update... I tried a taskkill exe. I made from a bat file. It kills the running steam process outside of pinballx. When i run it after pinballfx it shuts down pinballx. There may be a parameter or something I might be able to add to give it a few seconds delay, then maybe it will work. The present workaround I have is to manually exit from pinballfx, that seems to work.

I had a few of tables that would go to walking dead instead of the table I chose. I double checked them and there was a slight misspelling with them. If you have a table that won't load and it goes to your #1 table.Double check the spelling or spacing that may be the culprit. All mine load perfectly. The exiting pinballx and steam still loaded is a steam problem not a nuke launcher problem

no not had that problem. The backglasses are controlled by pinballx did u check hide back glass in gamemanger. if u did it will disappear. Not sure about the "good news" issue. Try a restart

Hey I'm using that nuke launcher,It works great except it doesn't exit from steam when you exit a table. When you try to load another table it says you already have steam running ,can't start pinballfx2. I need a script that kills the bootstrapper process or exe of steam. I tried task kill and other apps but no luck.any help would be greatly appreciated. Jay

Hey Tom is there any way to you could make this plugin do startup animations. I would use LED blinky but I don't know if u could use both of them together Jay

hey would this command in a .dat or .ahk file shut down steam and/or pinballfx2.Still having shutdown issues. Taskkill /F /IM Steam.exe,Taskkill/F /IM Pinball FX2.exe Jay

I want to know need the people this future? .... Not on the same frequency there. Yes I guess thats possible but you would have to write the software. I believe arduino does that too

Yes Draco this is a well run forum. I also had good experiences from arcadecontrols.com and vpuniverse, both are also well run forums.

change it in the ini file

try changing your starting table to 1 instead of 12. 12 is default

Thanks so much for your time JaY

I agree Draco,I wasn't talking about here. but I will give an example, I have put several posts on certain pinball sites, maybe 2 out of 5 get answered. I didn't bump I just quit posting there. A lot depends on the culture of the forum and it's moderators.

you also have to take a pic or a screenshot of your table locations inside pinballfx2. That way you can get the order correctly if it is wrong with out guessing. Also checkyour xml file to make sure ALL the table names are the same in pinballx xml and in the nuke ini file.

Another problem I had rocky rocket that I finally figured out was I had starting table as 12. it was 1

You don't need it with the new version. I just set it up, what kind of problems were u having. I may be able to help.

I agree every one should respectful. But in some forums, 3-4 days without response, your post may be back 2 to 3 pages and it gets lost out in cyberspace. Looking at the other side of the coin. If you know the answer how to fix something someone needs help with,you have time , and you purposely ignore it, don't u think that is a little disrespectful too. I do agree with you about writing bump though.In my case if I ask for help in a post and I REALLY need help, and no one responds in 3-4 days, I politely ask again. Generally I do my research and I can find the answer. Respectfully Jay

I don't think u can use it. DOF works off the backglass server in visual pinball thats it. It doesnt work outside of visual pinball.

Hey guys this version is much better than the original. I tried several times and Jeff (software creator) tried to help me get it going. I had almost given up and I decided to try once more. This time with (1.6).This time it set the .ini up almost perfectly with the names. The only issue was four tables were out of place. I corrected them and it still wasn't working. So I read through the directions again and changed the starting table to 1 instead of 12. I then went to the chosen table almost every time.Everyone must remember it is still a WIP. The negatives- 1. Still a few bugs, even though it is set up properly, about 1 in 10 times it defaults to the walking dead table.Possibly a timing issue. 2. Exiting is a problem. I tried all the different methods from kill immediately, to save and exit. Steam and pinballFX2 never closed. I don't find this a large problem.It is most likely a scripting issue or a timing issue. There are multiple steps in the software to get steam and pinballfx2 to shut down and return to pinballx. 3,Documentation is still a bit of a problem, in that everyone has different setups, which makes it very complex to write the instructions. 4. There are still some grammatical and spelling errors on the webpagedocumentation. The positives- 1. This is a very good software for the users who aren't so scripting savy.Most of the scripts on the forum are vague and scattered out. Just about anyone who can follow directions with minimal windows knowledge could set this up. 2. It is a very good software for this type of program that is difficult to access, because of lack of command line support in Pinballfx2. 3. this software could be tweaked along with the documentation to be an almost flawless gateway into pinballfx2. 4..Its free so no one should gripe. just give feedback 5. The author (Jeff) returns emails and follows up with posts on a timely manner, which is very helpful. What I think could be done to make it better. 1. Have different versions, one for each platform. i.e. Steam, windows 8, xbox etc. That way the user wouldn't have to weed through what they don't need to set up the program. 2. Possibly a video. It's very easy to follow someones software setup via youtube. 3. integration of the software for pinball arcade. It would become more of a steam wrapper than a launching program.And there are no really good solutions for pinball arcade. 4. This may be out there but possibly a way to make LED animation on the start and exit of pinballfx2. Summary- This is a software in its early stages (alpha), give it about 2-3 months to truly be able to judge it fairly.The software still takes a bit of tweaking but it is a 1000 times better than the others I tried. Overall I give it thumbs up. Jay **Update<<< In regard to the exiting problem it is not Jeff's software or pinballx it is a known steam bug. I will keep working to resolve this. After finding out it was a steam error and not a error with nukelauncher i give it 2 thumbs up Jay

yes it hides the 3rd screen dmd during the game. Although you can still access your regular dmd, like in visual pinball. For example it is used if a table doesn't have a dmd say an older EM you can add your own or add what ever you want but that is what shows up when you scroll the table. There is a default pinballx dmd that is used if you dont add one.

could you do the pinballfx2 tables??

Ok this is the second time this has happened. it has to be a bug.I was loading a pinball fx table into the game manager and all but 5 of my tables disappeared from the menu. They are all there and enabled in the xml files. Last time this happened I had to reload pinball x to fix it. HELP TOM!!! This is very frustrating. if someone has an answer to this let me know. Jay

straight up it fixed mine.yes i'm running joy2key but since its not broken i'm not messing with it.But if it acts up again i'll try to remove game key from pinballx
