Frustating Time-out Problem

[frischbrot]

Hi Guys,

i've a strange Problem when exiting Tables.

It takes about 15 seconds before pinballx frontend shows up after exiting the table.

I have 15 sec. black screens.

Any ideas?

I have the same issue. I am running the latest pinball X. I remember there was a bug with the AltEXE XML entry to launch different versions of VP but it has been address on later versions of PinballX. Not sure why it takes so long to exit tables.

When you are reporting an issue with PinballX please provide copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files for review. Click on the PinballX How to ask for help link in my signature for instructions on how to locate the files and submit. Thanks!

I also am enclosed a sample XML for VP. It uses the alternateexe command.

What happens if you run without the supplementary killbackglass app? Do really have backglasses that need to be killed? None of the tables in the sample have file names that look like the old Rosve B2S tables. If this isn't the XML file that you actually use, then send us the full file. Send the source code for killbackglass if there is more going on then just killing backglasses.

how do I remove the backglass kill app?

Nervermind I figured it out. That seem to do the trick!

[Carny_Priest]

Good to hear.

I realized I have about 20 Rosve style b2s tables on my cab. I don't want to enable that kill script as it makes unloading non rosve tables take forever. Is there a way to only have that kill script work on a table by table basis?

 

 

[Carny_Priest]

Yeah, probably. Do you have the source code for it?

No

Maybe something like this if PinballX can carry in [TABLEFILE] as a parameter in these apps you can launch on exit from Visual Pinball. I'm not sure if that is doable.

Is there a script I could just add to the table to close back glass exe instead? 

[bent98]

I just tried enabling the b2s.exe by setting it to TRUE. It seem to launch BG and close itself out afterwards. I only disabled this to make it work with Hyperpin. I am confused as to how PBX handles legacy B2S.exe in the first place. Can I just enable the table to launch the BG and relay on vp to close out the b2s.exe upon exit of table?
