VPX setup in pinballx

[Randy823]

Hi again

here is a problem trying to set up pinballx to run VPX tables

Im running visual pinball VP995 which loads up perfectly

But trying to set up VPX using other systems area within pinballx

While selecting the VPX table it does not load up the visual Pinball 10 table

but VP995 trys to load it.

Can someone explain the proper set up in PinballX.

thanks In advance

If you're setting VPX up as an other system something like this should do it. Amend the paths for your setup;

[Randy823]

thanks scutters

This is the exact setup I have used.

It still trys to load the Vp995 although the setup

is exactly as you posted.

You'll need to post more info, please attach pinballx.ini, log.txt (after trying to launch a vpx table), and you vpx database xml files.

[joyrider3774]

also make sure you added your tables to the visual pinball x system and not visual pinball system it's obvious but you never know also verify you did not use alternateexe in xml i doubt it but again you never know

[Randy823]

Where is the vpx database xml files

PinballX.ini log.txt

[Randy823]

The table Vp10 is in the tables that hold the VP995.

Is that where they should be?

[Mike_da_Spike]

I seperate the vp9 and the vpx tables to make subdirs in the visualpinball\tables directory.

In pbx I used the visual pinball system to load the vpx tables and made a system to load vp9 tables. Although I only have 8 vp9 tables. 

If you need screenshots ler me know

[Randy823]

screenshots would be appreciated

thanks Mike_da_Spike

Even better as screenshot. A post of last year of myself. There are more ways to do this, but I use this one:

Look in Pinballx\databases\Visual Pinball X\ folder

Post that file when you get chance, and also update to the latest version of PinballX (3.56 is quite old now)

[Randy823]

Yes I see PinballX updated version to version 4.

Question: As you see i am running version 3.56.

If i update to the newer version will all my pinball x settings stay the same as

the older version. Just wanted to make sure as I have spent many hours on setup.

thanks

[Mike_da_Spike]

yes, just go trough the settings menu and click verify after installation

 

[Randy823]

here is the xml file

Visual Pinball X.xml

[joyrider3774]

i don't see it loading the "visual pinball X" database weirdly enough only "visual pinball" or have you enabled the system since last posting your log.txt (after trying it out when the problem occurs)

  

[Randy823]

sorry i will resend

 

[Randy823]

Please look at the Other system setting and the vpx.xml file

After checking to see if it would load up the VP10 game, it did load properely the game.

However the Vp995 games all load up properely with sound, but I am getting No Sound on

VP10 games.....I have checked sound settings which are the same as VP995.

I think I am getting closer to figuring out theses problems and I do really appreciate

the help from all users here.....a big thanks to everyone.  Randy823

VPX.xml

Does sound work if you load a visual pinball 10 table outside pinballx? i'm guessing not.

Check your preferences -> audio options in the visual pinball 10 editor

[Randy823]

Scutters

no sound outside of pinballx.

thanks

[Randy823]

I have checked inside preferences---> audio options and everything looks good

 

[joyrider3774]

do you have audio if you play a video on youtube or pfx3 ? (to exclude general problem)

When visual pinball x is running (when not running pinballx so double click a vpx file) did you check the volume mixer inside windows (right click sound icon and select mixer) to see if volumes are up / not muted.

You have tried selecting all options here (that seem logical) in vpx (not pbx) setup and checked if sound did not by any chanse start playing (restart vpx each time you change a setting)

[Randy823]

I will try a different vpx game and see about the sound

Also was wondering if there is a area within the script that you can turn sound on.

I will keep you posted

 

[joyrider3774]

if a table uses a rom from vpinmame you can press F1 and the see if sound checkbox is enabled

but not al tables use roms i think well not 100% sure about that have not verified.

Some tables require to open the coin door (virtually not physically on your cabinet) and using volume buttons to increase sound but you should be hearing a low (music) volume at first then (williams tables usually require this). Also make sure you have the rom in the vpinmame roms folder if the table needs one

[Randy823]

Joyrider

It was the settings within windows set to mute

set to 100% and I have sound

[Randy823]

Joyrider thanks for your last post on using F1 key
