PinballX Parameters

[gromit]

Great update adding 4th screen support! I would like to ask if you would list the available parameters that PinballX passes to 3rd party apps. I know you have [TABLEPATH] ? [TABLENAME], but there was talk months ago of adding more. Among those brought up were manufacturer, year, etc... Have any more been added yet? Thanks...

I don't see why I can't add them but curious why you need them?

I have a 4 screen cab and I wrote a program to display graphics/information about the table in the 4th screen. I've been able to do this by keeping a database of all tables, mame games, PC games and others. The program takes the [TABLENAME] parameter and runs a search of the database. I built a hybrid Pinball/Arcade cab similar to Pinkadia. It would be much easier, if when launching a table/game, I could just use the parameters to display the info. I could also add a few more 'features' with the added parameters.

[MANUFACTURER], [YEAR] and [SYSTEM] have been added for the next release.

Thanks Tom! I don't want to push my luck, but can I also ask for Description and rating? 

[Tom Speirs]

Done.

Thanks Tom! Appreciate your quick response and adding those parameters.
