Hey guys,

I just installed pinballX and visualpinballX, futurepinball and pinballfx3 are runniing as planned.

strange thing is that not all of the fx3 tables are showing up in the gamelist of pinballX.

i tried adding them from the gamemanager but the list is empty. The tables are in the local folder though...any thoughts?

Maybe you have an error in the xml database of pinball fx3. I don't think the initial database is complete need to download it somewhere here. I can give you my database but i'm not sure you have the same descriptions. The game name is the same for everyone with pinball fx3 it are the PXP files from games steam folder minus the pxp extension. If your videos are named agains description they might not play anymore if you use my database and you'll have to rename your video's. Pinball FX3.xml

Normally you would need to select the pinball fx3 database in game manager first not sure why it's not loading. You could always verify online to see if the xml is correct or compare with my database.

Thanks!

I found a hint to just add the missing games in gamemanager by copying the tablename (without the extension) so I try that first.

strange thing it finds a few tables but not all...and als finds tables that are not in my collection

update:
It’s getting stranger. When i add a table and use the correct filename, the gameeditor gives the error “can’t find game”.

But when using PinballX, the table is there and is working fine...so functional my problem is sort of solved, but very difficult to understand why this is happening...

weird i just upgraded to 4.10 (seems a newer version is already available) and have no problems with pinball fx3. According to your log it still seems to find the pinball fx3 database and loads them so not sure whats going on. I do use the system menu's so not sure if that might be the difference or that 4.10 has solved some problem.

(solved)

 

I didn't know 4.10 was out until you mentioned it.  I just upgraded to 4.10 and the problem still exists.  Using Windows 10.  Log seems OK to me also.  They just are not on the wheel even though the info is in game manager and they are enabled in game manager and settings.

If I go to the systems list they are there under FX3 and will launch!  The problem narrows down!  They just are not showing up on the master wheel that is launched as the default.  Gotta be a bug I think.  Are yours showing up on the top wheel or do you go to a list to launch?

 

solution:

I went to the wheel menu and selected "all tables" and there they are.  I guess in the upgrade to 4.09 Pinball X defaulted to only showing VPX tables.  I never use the list feature so I didn't think to check there. Whew!

i have the system menu enabled and also on startup. So i just disabled systems menu generally and on startup but for some reason even when i had disabled it it still started the systems menu on startup my guess is pinballx seems to remember last "displayed" setting. But i could get it fixed by selecting all tables once after startup and then i would always see all tables like it used to be before systems menu was added. When in the all tables menu i did see pinball fx3. Maybe something similar is happening with you ? Can you press "play" and choose "all tables" once in the list and verify if they show up then as with me they do show up. Perhaps if you see the same thing as me it's displaying the visual pinball list or something similar first ? @Tom Speirs it seems if you had systems menu enabled before and disable it completly in settings it will initally still display the systems menu or some list you had last selected before disabling systems menu in settings. It's easily fixed though by selecting all tables once in the menu

Yes, once I selected “all tables” PinballX remembers to show all tables on launch. Previous described bug is really no bug at all, just the way PinballX works.

It seems you guys have the problem the other way around...

games visible in the editor but “missing” in the x-ui. My issue is the editor is not showing al the tables in the folder but when added manually the x-ui shows them as supposed...

@joosthaanraadts i don't think pinball fx3 tables gets auto added to game manager it's not like vpx but i have never tested it. I have the setting to auto add tables disabled.  I always added pfx3 manually by entering the game name to a new table entry in the list

Do you mean (currently even after adding them manually in game manager) you do not see them in game manager but you do see them in pinball x frontend ?  if so upload your ini log and database files so it can be verified (as attachtment don't put contents inside posts).

For me everything works as expected but my table list was already complete

bushav hijacked the thread for his problem which was not the same as the original one, bushav's problem is fixed it was just showing a list of vpx tables instead of all tables list (selecting all tables fixed it).

joosthaanraadts problem (if i'm understanding it correctly) seems to be that the tables from pfx3 do not get added / detected automatically to game manager "from the folder" and that adding them manually fixes it but thats how i always added tables for pfx3 i'm not sure game manager can add pfx3 tables automatically but never tried. Unless he sees tables inside pinballx that do not show up in game manager

I've always had to add the Pinball FX2 and FX3 tables manually via GameManager. Once I established a collection for any system, I chose to learn how to work with the system's XML file and modify all via Notepad++.

thanks guys,

the editor shows them after adding them Manually. But when started the editor the first time, there were a view tables allready in the list, but not all.

that made me confused...if you all add them manually, that’s the way it is, thanks!

ah thats because pinball x ships already with an (old) pinball FX3 database that does not contain all tables in it. thats why you saw some tables but not all
