blur Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) that was about naming convention - in short i allow any name - but if you want this system to work people that will publish "instruction packs" have to stick to HP naming convention about this problem - i don't understand how it is connected to instr. images? your instr. images stays on or your backglass stays on? or your backglass stays on only when instr. is shown on screen? try to exit table normally without going into instr. and see if b2s backglass stays on. what is the name of the game? file name - not desc.

slydog43 Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 Ok, I have tried a few more things, but nothing has fixed my problem. The problem is that the B2S backglass stays on even when I exit back to hyperPin. If I hit ESC then the B2S goes away. I dont think it is related to my naming, as I have tried many different names (with and without _ ). I think now that it is related to my settings.ini file and the exit keys. I have remapped E as my exit key. Blur can you PM me your settings file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 10, 2011 Share Posted November 10, 2011 (edited) what is the name of your table? so it has nothing to do with instructions, you have b2s screen every time you go back to hyperpin? you have default settings in ahk script close to start.

V1kt0R52 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I have the same issue with my B2S tables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) b2s tables have to end with B2S and you have to change launching of b2s from script to false also you have to remap esc to something else found it - i use same variable name to check ending of table name (B2S) and ending of instr. image - (swf or jpg/png/...) so ending get overwritten so bug happens only if you go to instructions - so it is related to instructions after all will fix it in next release (soon - it will be just fix release, no new features) Edited November 11, 2011 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydog43 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 great news, I know I have to change my table names to HP standards, but didnt want to do this right now as I have 300 or so FS set up. Starting the massive task of making instruction pngs for all games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 (edited) you won't do it alone - i thought about uploading all instruction packs and media packs that i made to vpf and/or here i already did black hole, time line and pink panther (yeah i know it's peculiar choice of tables - they don't even have public FS version but i like them) Edited November 11, 2011 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydog43 Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 I will upload many also. I have to rename to HS standards, but I have all the a's and most of my b's done with Instruction cards, IPDB screen shot, Flyers, and Rules if any exist for table. Playing whitewater FS is taking up time today, thanks for WIP JP. Any chance of uploading fix to WIP7 blur for instruction cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzStick Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 Can you work around it by making multiple files with the same name but use different file formats, such as SWF, JPG, PNG etc? It would be interesting to see whether it displays them all, just the first one or craps itself.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 it works no prob. - it just makes list of files, sorts it and starts on the last one (the one without " 1") but - since you give names - you just think what order you want and you give them names, first without number and then " 1" " 2" and so on, so that you always know which order you'll get.

blur Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I didn't make any images - samwyze made all images so he could have psd files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blur Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I made one image (for instr. cards) with gimp without any psd, it's not so difficult font is bahaus, border is 3 pixels, you just find some manual how to make text border. and script doesn't mind, you can replace all images with something else if you want but it would be nice to have psd pack for easier customization (even though i don't know how i would use it cause i suck in image arts ) Edited November 13, 2011 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) New version wip 8 is uploaded to downloads section and waiting for approvement. In the meantime here is mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/?bbppurv50jkpfo6 New features are: - fixed b2s bug - ledwiz true/false added to settings ini (defaults to false) - if you change it to true ledwiz bat files will be launched on start and stop of every table - you still have to download other files from darkfall - hyperpinexe added to settings ini - defaults to hyperpin.exe but now you can change your hyperpin.exe file name to whatever you want (people that need this will know what it means) No new features, and not much bug fixes since there was not much bugs reported Manual is still for older version - without menus, so you'll have to ... experiment and search this thread for more info. Installation as usual, extract everything to hyperpin folder and just move images to media\hyperpin\images. Even though name is wip - this version is pretty complete. There is a lot's of work to do (optimization of the code, prerotation of images, manual, faq) but that won't change functionality much so it can wait for a while... meaning if you are waiting for final release - don't - take this one Edited November 13, 2011 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slydog43 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Thanks Blur, WIP8 seems to work with B2S now. What do you mean PreRotate images, should I wait to do all my instruction images? Right now it seems to work great for all my instruction pngs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 All images are non rotated on disk and ahk rotates them 90 degrees to the left before showing them. This is unnecessary since all cabs have same rotation - 270 - and uses cpu cycles and takes time. So i will prerotate images and change script. But don't wait for that - you can prerotate your custom images later with just one click in image viewer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkfall Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 - ledwiz true/false added to settings ini (defaults to false) - if you change it to true ledwiz bat files will be launched on start and stop of every table - you still have to download other files from darkfall Totally awesome, Blur! I've posted on the LEDWiz mod thread on VPForums on what to do. Once they get this going (which is super easy!), they won't have to install FPLaunch, then install the LEDWiz mod over it - just install FPLaunch and go. Thanks again, Blur!

bent98 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Blur, Just tried WIP 8, works great except Slamit Bigscore still doesn't work. Screen just stays black when you select it from HP. Also, I just want to confirm, the Pause key doesnt work anymore and to pause you just use the instruction cards menu to pause? I did notice you still have a "pause screen graphic" Do I need to add or change anything in the menu config located in hyperpin.ini? Thanks again for all your hard work.

blur Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 yup, no pause menu, it was confusing - no text what to press and how to exit now pause is exit menu, you have text on menus and you know how to exit and how to return to game as for slamit pinball - it works for me double click fplaunch.ahk and run bigscore from there then press t to show taskbar and check ahk log in system tray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run it and PF turns black. I Hit t and the have to run it again for the screen to clear up. I could not copy and paste the log file so I print screened it. I have my Bigscore in a folder off my c drive called slamit. I have a bat file which is named go.bat and inside bat file it points to bigscore.exe. IF I launch go.bat in windows it runs bigscore fine. Second question: How do I access pause menu graphic? If i escape it gives me that count down screen.

blur Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 you are launching go.bat from ..\slamit\go.bat where is your hyperpin? if your slamit is in c:\slamit then hyperpin should be in c:\hyperpin and go.bat should be in slamit folder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bent98 Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 it is. C:\hyperpin hyperpin.exe is in there c:\slamit\ go.bat and bigscore.exe are in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
