thanks tom, i quickly tested and it seems to be working fine now as far as i can tell

Hey guys, Since multipage instruction cards are working i tried to get a complete set for pinball fx3 but carnypriest seems to have created those PDF to SWF guide conversions of ShoryukenToTheChin for pinball FX2 and there did not exist any for pinball fx3. I noticed ShoryukenToTheChin still creates guides for pinball FX3 and releases them in PDF (see here https://www.pinballfx.com/?page_id=7527 ). So i spend half a day figuring out how to get from PDF to SWF where each page is one SWF file. I figured it out eventually and i have created all missing instruction guide cards for pinball fx3. The only ones missing are for williams pinball volume 5 but there don't exist such guides yet for those tables. you can download those guides from ftp on this location "/-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Pinball FX3/Instruction Cards" the other instruction cards made by carny priest are available here "/-PinballX-/Media/Instruction Cards/#open6l" these are the ones i created each file consists of multiple SWF files one for each page to show as instruction cards. it i have named some like game name and some like the descriptions i use (because REDCUP1 etc is not clear what it means) if they do not match with you, you'll have to rename the extracted swf files manually to match your database Adventure Land Pinball.zip Back to the future.zip BALLY_Attack_from_Mars.zip BALLY_BlackRose.zip BALLY_Champion_Pub.zip BALLY_Creature_from_the_Black_Lagoon.zip BALLY_Party_Zone.zip BALLY_Safe_Cracker.zip BALLY_TheatreOfMagic.zip E.T..zip jaws.zip Son of Zeus.zip Star Wars - Ahch-To Island.zip Star Wars - Battle of Mimban.zip Star Wars - Calrissian Chronicles.zip Star Wars - Solo.zip Star Wars - The Last Jedi.zip UNIVERSAL_Jurassic_Park.zip UNIVERSAL_Jurassic_Theme_Park.zip UNIVERSAL_Jurassic_World.zip WMS_Fish_Tales.zip WMS_Getaway.zip WMS_Hurricane.zip WMS_Junkyard.zip WMS_Medieval_Madness.zip WMS_Monster_Bash.zip WMS_Roadshow.zip WMS_White_Water.zip

are you using the systems menu ? if so select pinball FX3 system. If not you see all tables and it should be listed. given you have enabled / setup the pinball fx3 system that is

you have to run the problematic table / make the problem happen and then upload the log.Txt that log just seems to be a log of starting / quiting pinballx. Aslo you do own the tables right ?

for anyone interested pfx2 / pfx3 multipage instructions cards seem to be located here /-PinballX-/Media/Instruction Cards/#open6l and here /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Andyco/Pinball FX2/animated instruction cards pro pinball here /-PinballX-/Media/Instruction Cards/Pro Pinball Timeshock!

thanks seems to be fixed in 4.07 when i tested

@Tom Speirs just tried 4.07 multipage instructions are working (thanks for this) however it seems to have introduced a small new problem / bug. it seems we can press the start / play key to hide instructions and see the backglass again however if have a table with only one instruction file (not sure if it happens with multipage also i do not have a list yet where i have multiple tables where one has a multipage instructions) and we do not do press the play button first to hide the instruction and we press PAGE LEFT / PAGE RIGHT (nudge) key to skip to next table (by skipping letters which seems to work) it will hide the intructions and goto next table in alphabet but if we press left / right (flipper )key after that moment to skip to next table it will either display the instructions again (for current table) and if there are no instruction for current table pressing left / right (flipper) key does nothing. Only when pressing the play key first to hide the instructions the left / right (flipper) keys work normally again edit: maybe it should do the same as with flyers ? like disable PAGE LEFT / PAGE RIGHT key and use LEFT / RIGHT key to skip to prev / next page until instructions are hidden (by play key again) so only enable page LEFT / RIGHT key and do not allow PAGE RIGHT / PAGE LEFT if instructions are shown to skip tables in alphabet as it seems to introduce problems edit2: single page or multipage instruction makes no difference the problem described happens in both situations (seems to me page right / page left (nudge) buttons just seems to be disabled while displaying instructions (until instructions are hidden again) that would solve the problem

Are you using windows 10 1909 i have seen somone else mention this on facebook group since updating to 1909

not sure i don't download future pinball but you can match content using game manager (if you entered login data in settings.exe) but i'm not sure if it has future pinball stuff. you mostly have to rename yourselve to match whats inside your database. Over the years there have been many table releases and not everyone names are the same when they upload on ftp so there is no easy way to do it perhaps using game manager but it is possible most content is vpx. Should check the others section as well there are some video's here /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/TerryRed/Future Pinball (Updated with Topper Files) and docklets here /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/DownloadSnaps/Future Pinball Docklets/ thats all i could find future pinball related, not in the main sections

one more thing @slashguns04 don't forget to enter your login details inside pinball x settings for gameex online so you can search for downloads from within game manager and use non lite content

2 more i could not find

btw even if you have access you can use http://ftpbrowse.gameex.com/ in google searches just type what you are looking for followed by the addres or even inurl:address then if it finds somethings you browse to it using ftp that way you can for example find which users in others section have uploaded fx3 / fx2 stuff for example to find pinball fx3 stuff if the folder is named "pinball fx3" you search for https://www.google.com/search?q=pinball+fx3+inurl%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fftpbrowse.gameex.com%2F&oq=pinball+fx3+inurl%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fftpbrowse.gameex.com%2F look at the address and browse to it using filezilla client to same directory

http://ftpbrowse.gameex.com/ is the read only preview of the ftp. You need to use a ftp client like filezilla

i just connected and uploaded some wheels without any problems. But it seems your status is basic member ... not sure you have access to ftp then

don't know if such video exists.

Am busy installing more tables and came across some more i could not find the docklet for in style i use...

Hey, I created (currently) 4 mega docklets for visual pinball for tables where i could not find the megadocklets from. I currently (only) have about 70 VPX tables installed and i had 4 tables where i couldn't find any megadocklets for the tables. So i created my own. I will use this topic to add more if i come across tables where i can't find the megadocklets for. These files along with the gimp XCF file are also available on ftp here /-PinballX-/Other Uploads/Joyrider3774/Visual Pinball/Mega Docklets. The xcf template is included so you can change the logo to another one if you want to. The images used either come for B2S backglass (wizards of oz) or images i found using google images from flyers etc (eg secret service, junkyard cats) or the real pinball table (mustang). Logos of games mostly come from ftp or what was given alongside the (original) tables Here are the 4 i created

no problem it was me that noticed it i thought you removed it on purpose to not clutter the general section

Hey, Up until now i only ever had one page of instructions but i found on the pinball ftp instruction cards for time shock pro pinball which consists of multiple files as there are multiple pages. I have tried naming my files like this: TimeShock.swf TimeShock1.swf TimeShock2.swf and even TimeShock.swf TimeShock_1.swf TimeShock_2.swf according to this topic, the 1st set of filenaming should be the way to go But i can not for the life of me figure out how to get it to display the next pages on the backglass it always only shows the 1ste page. Which button entry should be pressed to view the next page ? (i tried left / right / page left / page right, but they seem to control the wheels, i also tried pressing instructions keybinding multiple times to no avail). is this still working if so how as i can not figure it out thanks

I noticed this by accident while searching for an answer on how to display multiple pages of instructions cards (pro pinball from ftp, still have not figure it out but will create seperate topic for it). if you got a games list with 1 table in the list like for example pinball wicked, pro pinball demon's tilt (just an entry to launch the games). It will crash if you press the left page button. Pressing right page button does not make it crash but as soon as i press the left page button it crashes with an index out of range error (see log.txt). Now noone in their right mind would try this but i tried it because i can not find how to display multiple pages of instruction cards i can only see the 1st page. here's the relevant log entry: 19:21:36.55 20/01/2020: Started 19:21:47.61 20/01/2020: Error.

is system type set to visual pinball in settings.exe for your visual pinball systems ?

I don't know someone else will have to answer that as i took the lifetime membership

@garycope do you have the lav codecs installed ? if not install them. If it still does not play can you try setting your lav output formats like the screenshot in this topic

on ftp it says Upload only (port 22) the 5 downloads per day and 150 mb is for files hosted on this site here itselve not for the ftp. If you really do not want to pay (or can't pay) for the ftp you could try some facebook groups (pinball fx3 community, visual pinball addicts etc) or record them yourselve. Someone just asked the same question and someone posted a link to their google drive. I'll pm you the link but best you join those communities as well files are getting shared there also

i thinks this belongs in general section. it is possible that you can not login because you are a basic member and not a lifetime / contributing / supporting member but i can not verify that because i'm a lifetime member so it's only a guess as i'm not sure users would be able to login and browse the ftp if they don't have access
