VP Key Mappings Lost When Launching from PinballX

[mrudie]

I'm not sure if I've just missed a really simple step or what, but my key mappings in Visual Pinball are not working after launching a table from PinballX.

All my key mappings work fine when playing a table directly in Visual Pinball, and also work fine using Hyperpin/FPLaunch.

I have a VirtuaPin cabinet, and use the buttons on the cabinet to control everything.

I was able to map the buttons to navigate the menus in PinballX just fine, but as soon as I load a table, I lose all the key mappings?

It seems odd since I thougth the key mappings would come from Visual Pinball, but something gets screwy somewhere, and I can't figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Still hoping for some help on this.

I can't use PinballX without using the buttons on my cabinet, and I can't figure it out.

Thanks!

Maybe VP lost focus, so your key presses are not seen by VP. Use a mouse and click on the playfield and let us know if that works.

Try running a table with a static backglass, no b2s or uvp. Does that work?

Post you pinballx.ini file and a screenshot of your VP key mapping if still having trouble

I have always used Joy2Key and have never looked back

[mrudie]

Thanks for the ideas. I will not be able to test for a couple days now. I'll let you know how it works.

I'll have to look up Joy2Key, but I would think I should be able to get it to work without any utilities? Maybe not.

Did you try running PinballX as admin?

There is an Xpadder plugin for this in the works for those of you who prefer it.

Sorry to sidebar.

I may well use it when its ready. My Cab buttons act as gamepad buttons so I need to use XPadder in the emulators. Not set it up yet so may just wait for you but no pressure

It'll be worth the wait, don't worry. Already have most of the backend done... just need to hit the cosmetics hard. End of the week maybe.
