VpinballX pops up while loading in pinballx

[uncels]

I run pinballx in a 2 monitor setup & have selected vpinball992 as default in pinballx settings, however i have vpx tables too,

i have seperate xml files 1 for vpt tables which are loaded with vpinball992 

The other xml file is for VPX tables, so i added     <alternateexe>VPinballX.exe</alternateexe> as last line for each table in visual pinball X.xml  so it starts with vpinballx.

That works fine, but the vpinballx window is popping up in pinballx while loading.   Is there a way to keep it on background while loading?  

I searched in settings, but couldn't find it.

no you have to use an ahk script to hide it if you want a clean vpx boot. this blacks the screen out until vpx starts

download autohotkey

open a new txt file, put this code in it

Gui +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow -border
Gui Color, 0
Gui, Show, % "w" 6000 " h" 3000, Black Screen
Sleep 16000
GUI Destroy
exitapp

the sleep is in second so 16000 = 16 sec, tweak as needed

save the file as .ahk

right click and you will see compile.exe

point the launch before to this file.

Thanks for replying, i keep that in mind.

The problem was, i had 2 functions on 1 Button. I changed that & the problem is solved.

 

Next problem i have when quiting a table, sometimes the window pops up Pinball9 or X has ended. Clicking on it closes the window, but it is annoying.

Can this be fixed?

not sure thats a pbx issue, i've never seen a window that says an emulator has ended
