[RESOLVED] Pinball FX3 Grid Selection

[andyco]

hi all

For pinbal FX3 when using grid selection there is not enough numbers/ grid location for all the tables. is there a fix for this. when rotated its 6 across and at least 20 down.in game manager you can only go to 9 down.

Not sure grid selection will work as the UI is very different than PBFX2. If you have the complete collection of tables the sections expand as you navigate to a specific group of tables to reveal all in that group.

i did get it to work the other day but could only select the firt 9 down could not go past 9 down. plus pinballX 2.42 update is for grid selection for pinball FX3

[Draco1962]

Are you not using the integrated Pinball FX3 support? Grid entries are not required for it.

[andyco]

no i done have a code for pinballFX3 for command line. i have done a video for you selecting venom table which is grid 2x6.

if tom could put more grid selections in the game manager for it it would be ok.

Like Draco said, FX3 works without using grids. PBX selects each table using the built in support.

only if you have the code from pinball FX3 it will.

[Draco1962]

If you are seeking to use the integrated cabinet support, then you should send for the code, otherwise, it may not work. The integrated support is not for using the grid. You would have to set up as another system and find some way to create another Nukelauncher type script to make it work if even possible.

[andyco]

so why is pinball 2.42 update for pinball FX3 grid support like it says. it does work i just need more grid numbers like you get with pinball arcade.

I guess everyone is wondering why you're choosing the hard route to get the same result.

You can request the code within PBFX3 for free, and alleviate your problem.

Folks are trying to save you a headache down the line, if PBFX3 chages their grid structure, your method will be broken while everyone elses still works.

The answer to your question is just go get the code, and map it as the cab support tutorial recommends.

You can even see the reluctance of this method in the non cab support tutorial, as a you can if you want, but why.

Plus the cab support method is much cleaner, it goes directly to the table from the PBX table selection, instead of the mechanical looking method in your video.

i no but then i have to buy all the tables.

[andyco]

There is a away to go to offline mode and get rid of the notification.  I just set it up the other day.

I guess you mean the desktop version.  I guess you have your reasoning based on you're software setup, maybe @Tom Speirs will extend that grid for you.  However, you have been warned, if they Zen Studidos update and do something weird with that grid layout, your'e hosed.

got it sorted now.

Details, Mate! Sharing is caring and all that!

[andyco]

in ran fx2 in steam portriat mode and then exit then ran fx3 and it auto does it for you and gives you ur unlock key for cab mode.then u can use pinballx v4 for pinball fx3 setings.

[rablack97]

so you nixed the grid idea and went with the easier method

[andyco]

yep sure did lol.

[rablack97]

Great glad you got it sorted sir.
