BamBam963 Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 I am currently using the following Future Pinball (BAM) launch parameters in my 3-screen cabinet. [FuturePinball] WorkingPath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\BAM TablePath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables Executable=FPLoader.exe Parameters=/open "[TABLEPATH]\[TABLEFILE]" /play /exit /arcaderender /STAYINRAM FPRAMPath=C:\Games\Future Pinball\fpRAM LaunchBeforeEnabled=False LaunchBeforeWorkingPath= LaunchBeforeExecutable= LaunchBeforeParameters= LaunchBeforeWaitForExit=False LaunchBeforeHideWindow=False LaunchAfterExecutable= LaunchAfterHideWindow=False LaunchAfterWaitForExit=False I am successful in launching my FP table, but when I press the button assigned to exit the table and return to the PBX menu, nothing happens. When I press the Escape key, I am brought back to the Windows 10 desktop, but PBX is not longer running. I tested to see what happens to PBX after I launch Future Pinball by selecting the Task manager while Future Pinball is running. From here I can see that PBX is not running any more. It seems as though launching Future Pinball from within PBX totally kills PBX . I have read several other threads and do not see this issue reported else where. Is there something special that we need to do in Future Pinball to map exit buttons etc? System: Win10 64Bit All programs setup to run as Admin.

Carny_Priest Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 Maybe for PinballX.ini swap the key's you have defined for Quit and Exit Emulator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outhere Posted April 19, 2017 Share Posted April 19, 2017 It does the same thing for me so I only run Bam as admin and not future pinball ,everything works fine... I use the Escape key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam963 Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Changing the key would remedy the exit routine, but why does PBX shut down when FP is launched? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 It may be that PinballX is not actually shutdown but is waiting for the Future Pinball process to be closed before returning. Just spitballing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rablack97 Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 i have quit and exit emulator assigned to Q. Also ESC in the FP keys returns you to the FP editor. Also you're PBX should not be shutting down, when i am in a FP table launched through vpx there's PBX forms sitting in the background behind the table.

BamBam963 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 I checked the task manager and PBX is definitely shut down. Can someone who has FP working under PBX be kind enough to screen capture the following for me? 1. Future Pinball Key Settings 2. Pinball X Keyboard settings (or PBX.ini) 3. FB launch settings within PBX (or PBX.ini) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Have you setup Future Pinball with BAM as shown in the following post, including the settings within Future Pinball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 looking at your INI, have you unblocked all of your .dlls 06:24:00.5 2017-04-19: Access is denied does this table launch perfectly outside of PBX, have you tried different tables?

Terry is my FP God. That is how I set it all up. FP works fine with all tables. It is just when launched via PBX that the wheels fall off the bus. I will compare my settings with the one below and see where I am at. Thanks for all of the replies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rablack97 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 there's a dll that you have not unblocked or a file you haven't given the correct rights. After the launch line you have Access denied. This is in my log after booting a FP table. c:\DirectOutput\DOFLinx.exe table="C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables\spiderman 1.09 zed.fpt" close=1 15:29:21.2 4/21/2017: C:\Games\Future Pinball\BAM\FPLoader.exe /open "C:\Games\Future Pinball\Tables\spiderman 1.09 zed.fpt" /play /exit /arcaderender/STAYINRAM 15:31:32.5 4/21/2017: C:\DirectOutput\DOFLinx_FX2\DOFLinx Kill.exe 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Created DirectX BackGlass Window 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Created DirectX DMD Window 15:31:39.7 4/21/2017: Real DMD Intialized Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rablack97 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Try this..... 1. Open an elevated PowerShell window. To do that, type powershell in your Start Menu/Cortana’s search box, right click on the first result and click on “Run as administrator”. 2a. Type in the following command and make sure to replace the appropriate paths with your own: 2b. If you want to unblock all files within a certain folder, use this command instead: Get-childitem “full path of folder” | unblock-file e.g.: Get-childitem “C:\Users\Adam\Desktop\AwesomeFolder” | unblock-file Do this for the PBX, Future Pinball, and Bam root folders Re-run and check your log to see if that access denied disappears, make sure all of your exe, are set to run as admin.

That must be it as I re-installed PBX last night. I will give the unblock a try. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
