Shortcuts Tables

[halen]

Is it possible to config pinball x to load tables via shotcuts? I will try to explain: I have four shortcut table in the folder Pinball Test. I want to load by Pinball X the  Table 1, Table 2 and so on from the Pinball X database. When I click on the table Wheel I load the table via shortcut. I would have a option load [tablefile] command.

Select System: 5- Pinball Test

Name Folder: Pinball Test

Enable: Yes

System Type: Custom

Working Path: C:\Pinball\Pinball Test

Executable: ???

Parameters: ???? Maybe [TableFile]

Process to Monitor: ????

Thanks in advanced!!

Don't think a  .lnk ffilecanbe used,

But why do you want to launch this as a shortcut ?

With other words, what are your limitations to not load this as an normal system with table file?

Do you know Pincabview?  With this patch it is possible to load old Pinball Pro tables. This patch works great and I am now trying to create a new group in pinball x named Pinball Pro.  If you  install this patch, the patch must be downloaded in each pinball pro game folder. Game loading is done through the PinCabView_Launcher file that is installed in each folder of each game. What I understand is not possible to load tables using only the patch on a command line, because I have four pincabview launcher file in each of the games folder. So what i did. I copied the 4 pincab view launchers files to a new directory and rename each one with the table name. So I have 4 shotcuts with the table names that I load via the shortcuts. I hope you understand what I wrote.

Per the instructions on that site:

How to use :
- Extract the full archive in your game directory (same directory as your main game exe). Your game exe name should be the original one (not renamed).
- For the supported games you have to use the launcher "PinCabViewLauncher.exe" included to launch your game
- If needed set PinCabView.ini "PinCabView" and "PinCabView_ADV" options as explain above depending on your configuration
- That's all, it should work 

You will have to use the Other Programs to launch set it up in the Setup Wizard. PinCabViewLauncher.exe should be the in your Executible and you should use the [TABLEFILE]  parameter.

Tinker with that and provide copies of your log.txt and pinballx.ini files so that others can review and help you narrow down to a solution.
