Exiting VP

[Loadedweapon]

well first I want to say thanks for all the great work on the program it was easy to install and had a great configure tool.. Everything seemed to work ok except vp wouldent exit with the E key.. FP started and exited perfect.. any ideas would be appreciated

Can you post PinballX.ini from the config folder and I will take a look.

I will try it out tonight in my pincab.. I tested it on my laptop maybe just had some glitch.. I will let you know how it goes..thx

I want to say thanks very much for this too and also report a problem exiting VP, so I thought I'd bump this thread rather than starting a new one. Also having a few other problems but this will do for starters!

I have Quit set to E and Exit Emulator set to Q. To exit a VP table I press Q and it brings up VP's Paused dialogue box and I have to press Q again to quit to the editor, then manually close the editor before I am returned to the PinballX main menu. Any ideas how to cleanly exit a table straight back to the main menu please? Log file etc attached.

Hey.

I will work on this issue. I can't duplicate it unfortunately though. Does it work if you se an exit key other than Q?

[Tom Speirs]

Could you try this replacement exe please and let me know results. Thanks.

PS: I did notice the latest version of VP runs as admin for some reason, and If you don't start PinballX as admin it won't exit. This is a normal windows thing on newer versions.

Don't worry about the exe above, try 1.14.

Well you've been busy today! Version 1.18 now installed, and running it as admin and using E for both commands works a treat thanks.

1.19 runs really good for me although just have a couple of small exiting issues.

(1) For an old-style B2S table launched through the script when exiting VP the backglass stays open. Any else have this?

(2) A strange one. I use the ESC key to pause. This does not work for the first 30 secs or so. Play a bit and then it works.

[Tom Speirs]

As for 2 this is deliberate, to allow the app to properly launch. It has to do some stuff to the apps process and windows and to be safe and always work so it need to make sure its properly launched. Its actually 16 seconds.

Not sure about the backglass issue. Maybe need a launch after to kill the process.

For the 2nd that makes sense. In reality one wouldn't exit a table so quickly. It's only while I was testing my config after reassigning some keys:)

Most new B2S tables use the B2S server so this won't be an issue. As you suggest I can probably create a simple AHK to kill the backglass or maybe I will see if it can be closed from the VP table script.

Thanks again for the tremendous frontend and first class support.
