[RESOLVED] Newb Needs Help

[jarrod0987]

I have 2 working tables in VPX. MM and AFM. It took half the night but they work beautiful. Now I am trying to get Pinball X to load them. I have watched many help video's ect. I tried doing the set up. I tried the game manager which did not seem to alter the .xml file for some reason. I tried manually modifying the .xml. I made sure the table name matched PinX exactly. I even matched the description exactly. When I hit launch it says it cannot find the file but it does not say which file. When I go into Pinball X it shows up. I did not bother to load video's and wheel graphics yet etc. It says loading and then back to the menu. Is there some file I need that is required to load into a folder somewhere to get this working.  Below is attached a copy of my .xml I have Pinball X and also VPX in the c drive.

Please Help

Thank You

Visual Pinball.xml

Usually what I found is a naming issue when it tries to launch then just comes back into pinballx. I know you said you have the names set correctly just triple check. Also in pinballx make sure your have the correct directory path set for where your vpx tables directory is.

[jarrod0987]

I have it set to where the folders where the tables are. Is that the right directory?

A thought occurred to me....Maybe Pinball X only works with full screen tables and not desktop ones?

 

Does this help anything?

Pinball X works for both desktop and full screen.

 

Please post your pinballx.ini and log.txt files as well. The process is explained HERE.

Also the description line doesn't matter, you can nane it something that is human rather than the file name.

I'd be inclined also to check Table Path points to your Visual Pinball Table folder & finally that you have not changed the "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" in the settings wizard.

When you say "  have not changed the "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" in the settings wizard. " I assume you mean have not changed it away from the actual path which is C:Visual Pinball blah bla blah...Or am I supposed to leave it as "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]"

The .docx is broken. It says it was made with a newer version but I just dl'd the latest version of word viewer right from MS.

OK I found something interesting. PinX works fine when I set it up with VP9 but not with VPX. I am using the right tables with the right VP also.

Any Ideas?

 

Also...How to I get PinX to stay on top when I exit the rom please?

 

Last...Do I even need to have the rom entered into the database for Pin X? I do but it does not auto record it when I am doing the game manager import etc.

I got it working. I changed the security settings so that all users can use VPX as an administrator and now it works. Thanks Guys.
