Zaccaria support PBX V 5.00

[Mike_da_Spike]

No issue found so far for the new Zacxaria !
Good job Tom, but just wondering.  Will the XML file be automatically updated if Steam update / add tables, or is the XML static and we should add manually the tables ?

Setup was pretty easy for me :

I have Steam installed in my C:\ pinball directory (Everything under c:\pinball is automatically backuped 


And all was visible in game manager :

 

Thanks @Tom Speirs for this easy install of Zaccaria !

[Tom Speirs]

Thanks buddy, and yes, needs manual updates.

[PcTeknic]

This is great.

Only need move my files of old Zaccaria Pinball folders to new Zaccaria Folders.

Dont need any external software, fantastic.

Now databases have HIDEDMD on false to show DMD Image in game.

The Screens don´´t rotate medias and now the open process is clean.

But i have the same issue as before (this last 30 days).

Only Time Machine load fine, the rest of tables made fine the sequence, but go back to PinballX.

[PcTeknic]

Here a video.

Time Machine open fine, very time, but open and can play.

Rest of tables go back to pinballX.

 

[Tom Speirs]

It may be an issue with your database. Both table name AND type need to be exact.

[PcTeknic]

I think one update of the game or one update of windows.
Table names and type are unique table names and type, i use Zaccaria before with the Launcher.

I dont update database 2 months ago or more (last 2 tables don´t added).

This issue ocurred one month aprox.

If i use the database generated with ne new setup fron PinballX 5.0 install, I have the same issue

[Tom Speirs]

Log and ini then please buddy. database too.

[PcTeknic]

When Launch Tima Machine PinballX made the clics in the game, black screen for some secs (very secs), the table load and can play.

When Launch any other table that I have bought (Locomotion Retro or other), Pinball X made the clics in the game, Black screem for some secs (Very secs), the table load, but just when table load, go back to PinballX (Menú play only show for 0,5 secs and go back to PinballX.

With PinballX database and with my database, its same database, only set HIDE DMD on False and rate tables.

The Same Issue before set HIDE DMD on False.

In the .ini now i use the config to Zaccaria (Without Launcher)

This issue is the same one month ago when i use the launcher.

This is my new  .ini config

[Zaccaria]
Enabled=True
WorkingPath=C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam
Executable=steam.exe
Parameters=-applaunch 444930
Process=ZaccariaPinball.exe

[Tom Speirs]

Log and ini then please buddy. database too.

[PcTeknic]

There is

PinballX.ini log.txt Zaccaria.xml Zaccaria (PinballX Generated).xml Zaccaria Victor.xml

[PcTeknic]

The last launch is with your database Tom  (for LOG.txt view).

[Tom Speirs]

hmm, sorry not too sure, all looks good. Im not the police but I assume it is the legit version of everything. Otherwise give 5.01 a shot but Im not too sure.

It looks correct but by the sounds of it process is wrong.

[PcTeknic]

Yes, i just update Windows and graphic car yesterday and PinballX today.

Tomorrow when pc restart atenmp again.

Don't think this is the fail, but...

[Tom Speirs]

Other thing could be a rights issue. eg. zacarra or steam set run as admin.

[PcTeknic]

Today atemp again, i have 5.0 and i viene now 5.1 and 5 2, today install 5.2 too.

If don't Work, view set admin.

5.1 fix no image.apng

5.2 don't sure what fix, but i send you 1 MP today in 2 hours aprox abaut your comments un this changelog and Talk with mi Boss abaut this, surely isen't problem retribute your great Work.

 

[Tom Speirs]

Seriously though, tell your boss to use another front end. I am starting to get really pissed off with you.. It is not fine, in any way. Trust me, you and them are getting off very lightly so far. I often make peoples life's hell for stuff like this and fight it tooth and nail but I like you.

 

License is no commercial use unless there is an exception by me and there very rarely is. I am prepared to lawyer up.

[PcTeknic]

I just install now PinballX 5.02, don´t solve thyis issue.

Running Zaccaria as admin, don´t solve thyis issue.

Running Zaccaria and Steam as admin, don´t solve thyis issue.

Running Steam as admin, don´t solve thyis issue.

We do not make a commercial use, we sell a product to end users, to individuals who are going to use it at home and who can later manage it on their own.
A commercial exploitation is when these machines are put in a public place and you have to pay to play.
Look Tom, more than half of the users have been asking me to make the switch to Popper for over a year.
I have always insisted on continuing to use PinballX and helping you in whatever way I can with development, translations, media, etc.
Over the past two years I think we have all seen a massive migration from PinballX to Popper, to such an extent that the manufacturer I work for will surely make two versions of VPinball, the current Williams Standart Body with PinballX and a Stern Pinball with Popper. By the way, you don't have to pay anything to Williams or Stern to make your furniture, you have the plans on the internet.
Anyway, as I said, there would be no problem in paying you a sum of money if certain modifications are carried out in PinballX, some of which have been requested more than a year ago (there will even be no problem in paying you a lower amount if not are carried out).
- That the filters.ini are only shown in the specified system in order to have different filters in some systems than in others.
- Being able to choose the media directory in custom systems, so that VPinball Spanish, VPinball PinUp or other Visual Pinball-based systems search for the media in Visual Pinball, without having to duplicate or triple the files.
- That the media in the list of systems have their own folder SYSTEMS MEDIA or SYSTEM LIST, with their subfolders BG IMG, BG VID, TABLE IMG, TABLE VID, System Logos (details area and wheel overlay, images 4: 1 format ), Wheel Images (Images for the systems wheels, most user use MegaBalls, MegaDocklets, SilverRings or other images 1: 1 circular or triangular). The media in this case will be put in the respective folder with the name of the system instead of as before in the folders of each system with the name of - system -.
- To be able to activate or deactivate certain filters such as Add / Remove from Favorites, Rate tables, etc.
- If the basic menu is activated, disabling the lists, that the exit button, in its first press, takes you back to the systems menu (or even always).
I personally would be very upset to see that PinballX ends up deprecated as HyperPin, after all the work we have all done, of course mainly you, but not only you, many other users such as Draco, Scutters, Mike da Spikes and a long etc. , among which I include myself, we have also cooperated with pleasure in what has been possible.
When users report bugs to you or suggest changes, we are not making a criticism, we are simply trying to improve what is already a great job.
Isn't PinballX so much better now than it was 2, 4, 6, 8 years ago?
It has been improved a lot and it continues to improve, both for improvements that you yourself are making based on the evolution of the operating system and the games that come on the market, as well as for improvements or bugs, suggested or alerted by users.

Nosotros no hacemos un uso comercial, vendemos un producto a usuarios finales, a particulares que lo van a usar en su casa y que posteriormente pueden gestionarlo por su cuenta.
Una explotación comercial es cuando estas máquinas se ponen en un sitio público y hay que pagar para jugar.
Mira Tom, más de la mitad de los usuarios, llevan pidiendome más de un año que haga el cambio a Popper.
Yo siempre he insistido en seguir usando PinballX y ayudándote en todo lo que pueda al desarrollo, traducciones, medias, etc.
A lo largo de estos dos últimos años creo que todos hemos visto una migración masiva de PinballX a Popper, hasta tal punto que el fabricante para el que trabajo seguramente haga dos versiones de VPinball, el actual Williams Standart Body con PinballX y un Stern Pinball con Popper. Por cierto, no hay que pagar nada a Williams o Stern por hacer su mueble, tienes los planos en internet.
De todas formas, como te digo no habría problema en pagarte una suma de dinero si se llevan a cabo ciertas modificaciones en PinballX, algunas de las cuales se han pedido hace más de un año (incluso tampoco habrá problema en pagarte una cantidad inferior si no se llevan a cabo).
- Que los filtros.ini solo se muestren en el sistema especificado para poder tener unos filtros distintos en unos sistemas que en otros.
- Poder elegir el directorio de medias en sistemas personalizados, para que VPinball Spanish, VPinball PinUp u otros sistemas basados en Visual Pinball busquen las medias en Visual Pinball, sin tener que duplicar o triplicar los archivos.
- Que las medias del listado de sistemas tengan su propia carpeta SYSTEMS MEDIA o SYSTEM LIST, con sus subcarpetas BG IMG, BG VID, TABLE IMG, TABLE VID, System Logos (área de detalles y overlay de la wheel, images 4:1 format), Wheel Images (Images for the systems wheels, most user use MegaBalls, MegaDocklets, SilverRings or oter images 1:1 circular or triangular). Las medias en este caso se pondrán en la respectiva carpeta con el nombre del sistema en lugar de como hasta ahora en las carpetas de cada sistema con el nombre de - system -.
- Poder activar o descativas ciertos filtros como Añadir/Quitar de Favoritos, Valorar las mesas, etc.
- Si el menú basico está activado, deshabilitando los listados, que el botón exit, en su primera pulsación te lleve de nuevo al menú de sistemas (o incluso siempre).
A mi personalmente me disgustaría mucho ver que PinballX termina en deshuso como HyperPin, después de todo el trabajo que hemos hecho todos, por supuesto principalmente tú, pero no solo tú, otros muchos usuarios como Draco, Scutters, Mike da Spikes y un largo etc, entre el que me incluyo, también hemos colaborado de buen agrado en lo que nos ha sido posible.
Cuando los usuarios te comunicamos fallos o te sugerimos cambios, no estamos haciendo una crítica, simplemente intentamos mojorar lo que ya es un gran trabajo.
¿No es muchísmo mejor PinballX ahora que hace 2, 4, 6, 8 años?
Se ha mejorado muchísimo y se sigue mejorando, tanto por mejoras que tú mismo vas haciendo en función de la evolución del sistema operativo y los juegos que salen al mercado, como en mejoras o fallos, sugeridos o alertados por los usuarios.

Hey guys,

Just keep al friendly. There is already a lot of trouble in the world. Not taking any side of one of you, but I just opened this thread to show how easy it was for setup and to ask for future updates

[Tom Speirs]

Whatever you "think" is right or not is irrelevant. It is up to me, not you.

Deal with it, don't rub my nose in it, or goodbye. 

"You are not bigger than the club.". Use popper.

I need to put you in line, sorry to others for that but it is necessary.

Look, avoid me for a day, learn from it and I might get over it. Otherwise your gone.

[Mike_da_Spike]

I tested it on my test system again (no time to  test it on my cabinet yet), but the tables I bought on steam all launches fine.
it is launching Zaccaria, I see that the table I selected is highlighted and it starts the table till I have the ball in front of me.

Only question @Tom Speirs, do you overwrite the Zaccaria  system logo ?

Edit : never mind. My fault. New system is called Zaccaria and my previous was Zaccaria Pinball .
Still there !
I used Scutters tool to create this animated:

Edited April 9, 2021 by Mike_da_Spike
my mistake. logo has new name

[PcTeknic]

I just saw it's a Zaccaria game problem.
Since Windows also fails, the game closes, except with Time Machine.
However on another PC in desktop mode it works without problems.
There is a topic about it on Steam and I am doing the checks you comment on.

[PcTeknic]

The game only allows you to have it installed on a computer.
After trying the things they said on the support page, the game still did not work, so I uninstalled it in VPinball with the intention of reinstalling it next.
But to my surprise, after uninstalling it, it no longer allowed me to install, I only had the option to broadcast from my desktop computer.
I have uninstalled it on my desktop computer and now it allows me to reinstall it on my VPinball, which I suppose will solve the problem.
It seems to me a great shit from Magic Pixel, on top of which compared to other games of much higher quality, their tables are much more expensive, that they only allow you to install it on a computer when this does not happen with any other game, it seems brutal to me.

[PcTeknic]

After disable Remote Play in Steam options, can be install in 2 PC´s.

I delete steamapp game folder and windows documents game folder and install again without any old file.

The game open the first time, but when activate cabinet mode, the game crash again.

I attempt to set default resolution, real resolution 4K at 60Hz, 50Hz...., set fullscreen and windowed.... the game always crash
