OK, got it, will see what I can do about the files you need soon. Thanks, Vic

Hello, been awhile sincie I have been here and worked on the pinball, I started again a few days ago and it wanted an update to pinballx so I did it and then all screens were messed up, I got them working outside of pinballx running visual pinball and found a conflict with the backglass setting in the screenres.txt vs the pbx set up, I put both bg monitors to 4 and it worked except when scrolling through the tables, no BG but is I launch a table from pbx, all goo, I really don't want to re-record 267 tables so it there a setting I am missing in the pbx scrolling bg area? That woeked fine befor I changed the bg to 4 in pbx but now the games work fine but the scrolling through games has no bg. Hard to explain so may not make sense. Any Ideas before I re-record everything which takes 3 hours?

OHHH, where exactly?

I shoulda used a better example..

I don't think I did but have set that while on a table and right-clicking the backglass.Maybe I could somehow pit it into the script for nondmd tables or something, anything is better then the desktop in the dmd window. I tried to add a non dmd pic that shows part of the desctop but it didn't work, or blank would be good. Wait, photobucket, which is unlocked if you want to see more of my pics.... I know this is a DMD table but see what I mean? If I play a non-DMD table, I will see what is in the first pic. Thanks. Vic

Just wondering if there is a way to keep the pinballx logo running while playing a non-DMD table. Otherwise, my desktop shows in the DMD window.

What are the sounds from when you go to pinballx.net in the video or 3 actually? I am going to try what is in the FTP and see if I like it.

Hello, I finally got the FTP server to work, I was mis-spelling the name of client this whole time! Anyway, Is there a way to make that animated PBX logo to run in the DMD all the while you are browsing? I had it once but it stopped except 1 table which I don't have a BG or PF and that is 4 million BC I scroll through the tables, nice clean recording but didn't record DMD so I could just have that and that 1 table, it shows up on, also, is there a way to keep it running on non DMD tables? Thanks. Vic

I love the recorder and just downloaded the pinxcheck utility, I am having many issues with my setup and this sit, for some reason, I cannot access the ftp. I don't know why, I had done it before but I want the sounds for scrolling and the pinballx logo seems to have dissappeared. I am recording on the pinball pc as we speak. I love it but my screenres keeps changing what it likes, yesterday, 2 was the BG, today it showed up on the DMD so I set it to 4 and it is back on 2, it's goofy. I want sounds for scrolling and the pinballx logo in the dmd but it went away automatically. I will post this soon, I just don't know why I can't get to the ftp. Vic

The issue I am having is very strange, last night I recorded every table, BG and dmd I had and tested and worked great, even the pinballx logo appeared in the DMD when it was a non dmd table, actually, I would like that on all tables while scrolling. Today, I run PBX and BG is on DMD screen and dmd logo of pinballx was huge on the backglass. Is it possible to change settings with pre-recorded stuff? I can't stand this much longer as it takes 5 hours to record everything set at 15 seconds. I must be screwing something up somewhere. I am recording all videos now and looks great and if I launch a table it look like it should so why do the recordings keep messing up and where is the pinballx logo for DMD? I am a year into this and the cab is as far as I can go until I get this working, I want it to look like the pbx.net videos. I must have deleted the pinballx logo from something. I am lost. I can't even find the ftp anymore. I put the address in and brings me to the details page, not the real page. This project is really getting worse. here are some pics... This is what I want and it was there last night... Yeah, different table but if I am lucky, I get this. I am missing something and it has been 6 months working on the software when I can and I get to the first pic, and the next day I continue and its gone, that would not appear when I launched pbx.today. Is is possible to change recorded videos after their done recording? I must have recorded 20 times deleting all previous recordings, I think I deleted the pinballx logo in the process. Sorry for the rant but I have a weird issue. If I make any change, do I restart the pc, like pbx settings? They seem to take effect right away. I don't know. My brain is fried. It is always the DMD and BG, never the PF.

30 posts was too much and I made it to 19. Is this the sounds you hear on the pinballx.net videos? would you recommend recording images or videos? Still not sure about the DMD and the animated pinballx logo. I gotta try this out. Seems I posted here before but cant find it.

A digital display on the top of backbox? Hmmmm I like that.

Hi, been awhile since I posted and can't remember if I already posted it, I didn't see anything from me about this. Well, if you go to pinballx.net and watch the videos right when you log in, not even sure if thats where I saw it. What I am asking is, on a 3 monitor setup like I am trying to do, long story, I have alot of EM tables and I saw videos on vp cabs playing a non dmd game but in the dmd window, there is an animated pinballx video playing, I am wondering where to get it and how to set it up. Thanks, Vic

Hi, I really like this but I cannot find the rotated version, it has been a while since I have been on here. I can't seem to find it in the FTP rotated. Nice! WOW, I can't even remember how to get to the FTP site to get the rotated download. I think my brain is fried from my 5-8 hours everynight working on the pinball scripts.

Hi, is there a way to start the PBX recorder anywhere or do you always have to start over? I have 2 Star Trek games that it gets confused with and would rather not start from scratch.

OK, entire problem has been fixed buy a member of another site using Teamviewer, He said my entire visual pinball file system was corrupt for some reason and after many hours, I can now do screen shots and alot of other stuff I couldn't do. I owe alot to him!

Sorry about that, just so frustrated, I will keep trying.

OK, I tried to post this a while ago and site shut down for a few seconds and came on and my msg is gone. The bottom line, can someone tell me how to do screen shots in pinballx? I tried everyones half answers and no one will give me a full answer, I set the keys to u an o and nothing. Am I supposed to know when it works with a sound or dialogue box? nobody answered that. Please a video of exactly what you are doing would be great or I may as well set the cab on fire. Or is the all BS and just do screen shots woth CTRL PRTSC? I don't know because everyone tells me something different. I might end up taking a pic of the screen with my camera and scan the pics, easier that the crap I have been told to do. PLEASE someone tell me from begining to end how to take a screen shot in pinballx. it has been holding me up for 3 weeks and getting very redundant. A video of exactly what happens would be even better so I know WTF you are talking about. I tried everyones ideas for this and not one worked except the old meathod mentioned above, Please or I am done with this, can't do anything without screen shots so the project is done if I don't get the horrible instructions I have been given from other sites so I thought I would try here once more

OK, big trouble, I may have a bad install, I cannot do a screengrab for the life of me, I even changed the leters to o and u and nothing, is somethig supposed to show up on the scren or a noise? either way, nothing happens, another problem is say I am playing a table and want to try another table, the only way I can exit the table is ESC and shut down vp and wait and then pinballx comes back on, I tried e which is default and if I am scrolling through tables, it will shut down pinballx but it seems the only thing that wouks in game is credits and flippers and start, I havent tried pause. In my opinion, something isn't installed right. I need that screenshot thing to work so I can make backglasses and table images for scrolling, yes CTRL PRT SC works but makes the whole thing go nuts and I can never find where the files went but at least it makes a camera noise. I am going to google this because either I am totally missing how to do something or I have a bad install of pinballx which would suck. I posted this in VPforums and got alot of responses and none work. This has been driving me nuts for about 2 weeks.

hmmm, let me try that...Thanks

I know I started this topic in the help section but I need to learn something new. I have a whole bunch of tables when you scroll the wheel, it will show the wheel image no BG or table image and I cannot find them anywhere so I want to make my own, This is windows 10 build 10586 which isn't the best build I have gotten, my question is this. I go to pinballx, start it and scroll throught the tables and I see a missing backglass or playfield, launch game and click alt+prt sc on the backglass and on playfield, save them to the media folders, rename and it will work? the problem is I do not know how to do a screen shot. Can anyone help? Thankyou, Vic

Is it me or is the FTP server always down? I can only connect every few days, I got what you are saying itchigo. Thanks! Please visit my FB page under Vic Steckhan. Damn, down again! OK, I tried 1 last time and it connecred! I double checked for fat fingering which I do alot, especially after pain meds but now it is working, sweet!.

OK, here is where I am now... I need to put db2s backglasses in some of these and if I am in the mood, I might try sound files but it seemes everyone disables that because the thing will be making noise all day or night for attract mode.

Weird story here, I took a break from this(2 days) and started again and got alot of images but I also noticed the mu table count kept going down or staying the same. I think if you open them outside of pinballx, then they disappear from your game manager, I spent 2 hours puting them back in and now I have 146 tables but most are missing backglasses and wheel images, why would the go away? they were still in the tables folder but not pinballx, and even weirder, all my script changes were still there when I put the tables back to pinballx. My solution is to click launch in the game manager instead on opening them in visual pinball first to make backglass changes, does this make any sense. Not to me but if it works.......Vic

OK, I downloaded about 7 wheel images and they show up in the wheel images folder and only a few showed up while running pinballx, HMMMM Also, Some I cannot find but that is probably because they might be original tables, Saturn 2 and Orbitor1 to nabe a few, I'll get this
