ok thanks can you send a screenshot of your direct output folders as well.

Hello All, Make sure you back up your .ini file before copying over the new 5.20 files, it will wipe out your FP_LINK settings and any other modifications you made to the file. Hello Terry, Just to confirm setup on 2 items. Line added to INI file # location of your standard DOF outut configuration file. Keep this as the first item in the file DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig.ini DIRECTOUTPUTGLOBAL=c:\DirectOuput\config\GlobalConfig_b2SServer.xml Also, I have a DOFLinx_FX2 folder, within that folder I have an FX2 folder with the .fx2 files. Is this correct, or should the FX2 folder be in the DirectOutput folder. I noticed in 5.20 there is only an FX2 folder with no DOFLinx_FX2 parent folder.

Fixed it, created spiced up the visual pinball logo as a video, and placed it in the VIDEOS folder as No DMD.mp4

did you get this working.

Hello, I upgraded to 2.38 and the No DMD default image has stopped showing up. I have 3 screens and use the 3rd screen to display attract videos for each game at game select and during game play. The videos show fine but the the default image when there is not a video to display doesn't show up anymore Was wondering if the naming convention changed for the default image or something was broken with the edition of the Promo videos.

What format are your videos in?

You want that in 1s 5s 10s 20s 50s 100s or stripper 1s Wic, food stamps, IOU, day old bread ends, envelopes....

Yeah i'd disable that, too many other things going on already to cause a freeze up. Did you get a chance to look at Still image on 2nd 3rd screen during video boot up Thumbnails for image selection in the game manager or if anything hover over the file and have a preview popup.

I'm also thinking how smooth those images would actually work, and would it slow down, stutter lag? would the animation start when the table is actually selected or would you have the other surrounding wheel animations running as well? Seems like whatever he suggested prior for this application didn't make the cut. Its alot to take on when your bombarded with suggestions every week. Can't please everyone.

TBH, with table animation plus animated wheels, won't it make it a little too busy?

Hello Tom, Not sure if this was requested, yet. Is there a a way to show thumbnails in the game manager when downloading the table graphics. Its a PITA to select each one just to see what it looks like, if there was a small thumbnail to the right of each graphic that would save so much time.

@GatorCoop yes i've had it working for awhile now, with FP and VPX, i have 2 .ahk instances one for each and both run perfectly. The only thing that didn't work for me was the record one table feature. I have to let it search the xml and find the table itself. You have to be more specific on which part is not working, it did take some tweaking, and i can't remember everything i did, with this hobby, its get it working and move on to figuring out the next roadblock.

nice, glad you got it sorted out.

daphne is a PITA to setup via a front end. First thing you might want to do is post your PBX log file.

also are you looking in the actual PBX media folders to see if a video has been downloaded for that table? do you have Hide DMD checked for the table? do you have the dmd settings set in PBX settings wizard on the display settings screen?

Use this as quicker method to unblock your dll's. As suggested make sure all .exe's are set to run as administrator move your pinballx folder and visual pinball to root C: Always run your tables outside of pinball X first directly from the emulator, and ensure they boot and play as expected. If the table has any errors PBX will kick you back to select screen. Also make sure if you are testing from Game manager, make sure all of the instances of the emulator are closed before launching from PBX, you might have multiple instances of VPX open. You must close those out or it won't work.

Try looking through this tutorial, Hiding windows 10, I've been trying to do the same as well. The only piece i'm missing is making the login graphic totally disappear and the swirling dots in win 10. There is a section on how to shell your frontend, i haven't tried that yet, but I agree on the feature built into Pinball X, it flashes the desktop before running the actual program. Enabling GOD mode helps as well to get to all the super user screen quicker in windows 10 as well Windows 7 was easier to hide, Win 10 is a PITA. Here is my tutorial for hiding win 7 if anyone is interested Hide Windows 7

Request..... Thumbnail preview images during selection and final image selected (similar to the wheel) for the media files in game mamager, if there are 5 versions of one file you have to pick one launch pbx just to see what's been selected.

I was wondering how that would actually work as there isn't a preview of the file

what's your b2s setting look like, when you right click on the back glass during game play? also do you have any of the hide radio button clicked in game manager for CV.

b2s files go in your tables foldes for vp10, the backglass in the media folder has nothing to do with the gameplay backglass, that's just for the game select backglass

the general rule is get it working in VPX first before you even load in in PBX, all 3 should show up in the correct spots and size, if your backglass isnt showing up in vpx, something isnt right.

also have you adjusted your b2s settings? by right clicking on the backglass, or clicking the backglass and hitting S?

can you get cv dmd and backglass to show up when running in vpx?
