[RESOLVED] DOF Plugin will not initialize

[MulletLife]

I know this has been addressed many times. I've looked through the old threads and have not fixed my issue. I'm not sure if its related, but not only does my DOF not initialize in PBX, but when I run a table through PBX, DOF will sometimes hang on game exit. Likely because the PBX DOF code is not sending the exit/start codes. We'll fix PBX first and revisit. 

This issue popped up when I did a brand new vpin hard drive, from scratch, the only copy/pasting was tables. All files used were most current versions. 32/64 installed at the same time. 

PBX 7.13 if it matters. 

All DOF working in VPX. 

What I've done:

Updated the plugin to latest dll
Re-registered the x86 dof .com 

Checked that it shows the correct path in the plugin config

I had 2 branches in the registry both pointing to x86. I now see there is 2 spots to look (local and classes), I only checked one. 

As a note, I have never had a cabinet.xml file on any of my builds, its never been an issue. 

We can see via logs that it fails to initiate plugin. Nothing I've seen anywhere on the PC refers to an x64 reference. 

All the wackiness in the DO.log has just started now that I've added a pinone board to the mix. So far that isn't breaking any of the games... so I'll contact Phil at CSD if that causes any issues other than reporting errors in the log. 

Thanks for the help.

RESOLVED


FWIW I have it working, and now working better than my original DOF (No idea button lights were programmed in PBX). 

I had 2 setups. One was my from scratch build, all VPX DOF worked, nothing in PBX. 
Second setup was my setup from my old Vpin. Plugin worked, no lights in PBX or VPX. 

Started with my first setup, copied over some ini files, duplicated them and renamed them to what worked on old setup. Then I replaced the .COM DLL file and tlb file. Instant success. 

So now its just dialing something in to have PBX talk to undercab/speaker/playfield lights as I see some of these are in the dofconfig... not sure why some work now that never did. But for now this is resolved. 

TLDR: Replaced the file directoutputcomobject.dll and the plugin snaped to life.
