PBX will not play one specific table

[bpjacobsen]

DB file is attached. X-Files is near the bottom. It loads the videos fine but when you try to play it, it appears to start loading but goes right back to the menu. Tried replacing the script for this table with one that works then renaming but no luck. Any ideas? It plays fine in the editor (VP9.9) Just that it won't load. Is there something in the script for this table that is wrong?

The actual file name for the table is X-Files.vpt or X-Files.vpx, right?

I am having the same issue, except it is affecting ALL of my tables.  I have wiped it out and reinstalled it a few times and each time I get a different result:  sometimes game manger won't list my tables,  sometimes it will list my tables but not select a rom,; sometimes when I launch the FE, it says there are 0 tables installed, or it shows all of the tables but won't load them -just like your issue.  I think there are quite a few bugs in this version that need to be worked out.  How do I get a legacy version?

Need your log.txt file too.

Added the log.txt file to my original post.  Thx.

How about a screenshot of your table-folder? It seems that your tables named slightly different than given in you XML-file.

 

Kind regards,

Jannek,  that would be the obvious solution, but as you can see from this latest log.txt file compared with my tables folder, the names match.  This is because I used the "Select" button in game mgr and pulled the table files right out of the folder -no typing involved.  Yet the tables still don't load.  It has the correct path, but for some reason, won't recognize the file names.

Draco1962,  do you have any ideas about this?  Any news?

[Draco1962]

No clue and not able to troubleshoot at this time. You may need to open your xml file and verify that there aren't any extra spaces in the table names as a start.

Also make sure you open each table outside of PinballX to address any prompts from PinMAME before attempting to run from PinballX.

PROBLEM SOLVED!   Had nothing to do with the game name, as I explained in an earlier post.  I was playing around with the settings and I noticed I neglected to change the default executable from whatever is in there -VP 9.0 I think, to the latest version (for VP 9 tables anyway), VP 9.92.  That did the trick.   So even though the tables loaded without Pinball X just fine, by forcing Pinball X to load those tables through the older executable, they just didn't get along!   Makes sense because if you open the old executable file by itself and then try to load a newer table, it usually won't work, either.   I guess I just wasn't looking at the whole picture before.   So now I'm just left with this weird feeling of feeling very smart and very stupid at the same time... with the scale tipping more toward the stupid side!

I thought you hated PinballX by the way since you gave it a one star review?! Not only do you get free help, but free software too, which you are obviously using. Love you!

Sorry, rant over. Maybe its a millennial thing?

[Bryzee73]

First of all, Tom, I'm not a "millennial".  Second, I don't recall ever rating Pinball X; if I did, it was inadvertently and in error. Just needed help with an issue.  Obviously, I chose PinballX over Hyperpin for a reason.

[Carny_Priest]

Lol, yeah I see that 1 star rating in your activity list. I'd hate to see what you rate things you don't like.

Glad you figured it out though. 

[Tom Speirs]

Okay, lets call it a technical issue with the forum and move on.  lol

It's all good brother.
