[RESOLVED] Add new List to Lists menu

[uxb666]

Hi, I can't seem to figure out how to add a new list (Pinball FX tables added via the Other option in settings) to the Lists menu in PinballX. IS that done via a ini or xml file? In the database folder I have my folder for the syetm and the xml list in that, but when in PinballX and selecting Lists it is not an option. Can somone point me in the right direction to add it?

More info: If I leave the xml file named Pinball FX it will show up and accessable in the Systems menu option. If I rename it to something else, the system option is gone and the list is not in Lists.

Thanks

You heed to start settings.exe ang go to other systems.

I think all is explained in the documentation as well

Hi, I have everything configured and working in "Other" for Pinball FX. Tables launch as expected from PBX if I go though the "Systems" option. Ideally what I'm looking for is when in PinballX, I would like Pinball FX to be a list item under lists. Right now when the xml in the Databases Pinball FX folder is left named "Pinball FX.xml" The "Systems" option is avaialble in the Menu. If I rename that file to "4. Pinball FX.xml" The Systems option is gone and no list item for "4. Pinballl FX" is avaialble in Lists.

          4. Pinball FX.xml

      Pinball Fx2/

      Vissual Pinball/

           1. EM.xml

           2. Early SS.xml

           3. DMD.xml

****

Setup like this, no option 4 shows in Lists. As well, no "Systems" in menu. If I rename "4. Pinball FX.xml" back to "Pinball FX.xml" Systems option retruns, nop Lists option for Pinball FX.

Hope this makes more sense.

Please attach your pinballx\config\pinballx.ini and pinballx\log\log.txt files.

I think what you want is an 'active filter' list if you want Pinball FX to appear under a different name under lists.

Try pasting the following into notepad, and save it as '4. Pinball FX.ini' in the PinballX\Databases\Pinball FX folder;

That worked. thanks. Looks like it orders filters and playlists seperately, so had to play with it a bit to get it in an accepatable order.
