maceman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ...I think I am going to give the latest version another whirl soon. I am waiting for more bug fixes in Win 7 as Blur figures them out first It has been about 5 versions of FPlaunch that i have had no success. Basically for me, I was able to have a working FPlaunch back in version 3 or 4, but since then i have had focus and exiting issues. My problem is that i cannot get my ipac2 to work with another key instead of esc. If someone has a step by step on how they change their keys ion ipac2, i would be grateful, because it doesn't change for me it seems. btw, Blur, I had similar issues with ball on flipper with win 7 drivers. The only fix i have found is to use a different driver that works (need to try some to find out), or you can switch to 16 bit rather than 32. Although that may be impractical, it is better than using soft render imo. Ok, so i will try later today when i am at the cab and i will report back if i can or can't get it going. I am happy to hear this version may fix the B2S thing, because i have major issues right now where the b2s keeps running Maceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceman Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hi All, Just an update that I installed the latest version and it is working WAY BETTER than the previous versions for me. So far I notice: a) Much faster loading and exiting times Can exit out of FP c) Can Exit out of B2S tables- hooray!! The only issue i am currently having is that UVP based tables exit, but the UVP server is still running on BG. Other than this issue, everything is awesome!! Thanx so much Blur!

blur Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 there is a fix for that two pages back - you have to change ahk a bit and recompile (with basic version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guruguys Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) I can't get FP to exit VP now that I've switched to Windows 7 64bit. It simply leaves VP running in the background. Interesting is that if I move the mouse to the DMD to adjust during game, then back to VP, then exit with hyperpin it then quits. Any suggestions? EDIT: Solved by editing the script as mentioned above and a few pages back. Edited February 29, 2012 by guruguys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceman Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 there is a fix for that two pages back - you have to change ahk a bit and recompile (with basic version) Thanx Blur! Okay, all is working very well for me now. I looked at your post regarding a script change for 2 monitors in win 7 but i won't try it just now as i don't seem to have the same problem. So far, this is the very best version of FPLaunch for me. Cheers, Maceman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 tnx, win7 version is on the way, so no need to test that sample code i wrote i've added much more checks in the code since then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takedown Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hey Blur, Have you considered using something like github for the hosting and distribution of your project? It makes it quite easy for other people to fork your project, make adjustments / fixes and then let you know of these changes for you to decide to pull back in or not. It also adds in version'ing and tagging of each release. Another thing that would be helpful is if there is some strange bug on Windows 7 that creeps in after a release, git will easily show the difference between releases making tracking down that bug by you or others easier. If you have not used git before, I'd be willing to help you get up to speed, the basics can be learned quickly and github provides a lot of the heavy lifting. Thanks for your work on this!

xio Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Hi, I didn't understand how to make FP hiscores appear when pressing a cab button ? The FPPauseKey is RButton (configured in FP), but IPac cannot program Right mouse button to the cab button (that makes a lot of "button" in a single phrase ). I would like it to lauch Hiscores with an Ipac-shifted button : how can I do that ? (using 1.295 WIP 8) That's a small thing and I cannot post here without saying a big BRAVO to the fantastic work u've done here, all these features are great, very good looking & easy to configure, many many thx guys !

samwyze Posted March 2, 2012 Author Share Posted March 2, 2012 Hi all, Looking awesome Blur Someone asked for the settings script/source, it's here: http://www.autohotkey.net/~dumpster.monkey/HyperPin/HyperFPLaunch/HyperSettings.ahk Feel free to update and fix it!

blur Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 great! tnx sam xio - first tnx for compliments, rbutton will be sent when you press exit or pause button, then fp makes pause and we do print screen of then show menus over printscreen image (it's not possible to draw over opengl), if you want to have button only for sending pause to fp to get hiscores without menu - that's not possible - but you can edit fplaunch and add one hot key that would do only send of rbutton takedown - you're welcome, i'm using notepad++ and with included diff i can see differences to any previous version, i have all previous versions saved on disk - so i have versioning and easy debuging - but i will check for github also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xio Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 if you want to have button only for sending pause to fp to get hiscores without menu - that's not possible - but you can edit fplaunch and add one hot key that would do only send of rbutton I tried to do that but obviously I did not put it right. If I remember well I wrote "M::Rbutton" in the ini file, & program shifted cab button with M key. What is wrong ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 you can't use :: in in file, ini file is never executed you have to put it in ahk and recompile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xio Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 I've put it in Ahk & recompiled, but m key still does nothing. Here's Ahk keys : [FPLaunch] ; default settings, if you don't have them they will be added to your settings.ini file ; ***** don't change them here - edit your settings.ini file!!!!! ***** exitScriptKey = q & s ; kill script key exitEmulatorKey = Esc ; main exit key, can be joy key also (Joy1) hideCursor = true hideDesktop = true hideTaskbar = true toggleCursorKey = t useExitScreen = true ; show exit321 countdown on long press usePauseKey = true useLoadScreen = true ; show loading slider pauseKey = p ; former pauseVPinball key, works same as exit key fadespeed = 25 useExitAsPause = true exitEmulatorKey2 = 1 ; key for entering into menus exitEmulatorKey3 = Enter ; and another one pauseFPKey = RButton ; pause in FP m::Rbutton saveFPTables = true editTableKey = !F4 ; close table and go to vp/fp editor printScreenKey = o pfScreenNum = 1 ; playfield Screen Number (used for print screen) bgScreenNum = 2 ; backglass Screen Number (used for print screen) useExitMenu = true upKey = LShift downKey = RShift instructionsKey = i flyerKey = f hyperScale = 0.75 debugMode = false ledwiz = false hyperpinexe = hyperpin.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 nope, that won't work check where you have other :: mappings in the script and add yours there, or use hotkey command Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loafer Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 I do not know if this has been suggested previously (this is a longgg thread) but one thing I would love to see is the ability to access the windows sound level from within the hyperpin pause menu? Left flipper could lower the sound, right flipper could raise it and you could have a graph showing from 0 to 100 for volume control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I think i have that in some of the add-ons people sent to me. (It is not in the code yet) But there is also an included volume key in VP, by default it is + and - i think (keys by the backspace key) so i'm thinking of just using them - i can add two configurable mappings to menus for these keys and you can assign them to anything - for example to nudge buttons or magnasave buttons if you have them.

The Loafer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah, my preference for the windows volume control is because we aren't limited to VP or even FP (for example, that other commercial pinball game supported). I appreciate that it looks like it will be part of it soon, VERY cool . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analog999 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 I would say even better would be to be able to save the sound settings for each table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loafer Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 You mean setting a different windows volume table on every table launch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 there is support for setting sound level on table basis already in fplaunch - from big boss i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Ugh, I'm having issues with Wip8 exiting tables. I am using a PBW, but NOT using the PBW buttons. I use an Ipac2 for controlling all buttons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 (edited) there is a bug in wip 8 with closing tables. there is a fix for it, few pages before. you have to change script and recompile. But here is the new version wip9 - http://www.mediafire.com/?bwxlu5jjral21wa New features are (copy from the script history): 1.295 wip 9 + fixed vp doesnt close bug (detect hidden windows on) + capture screen code removed (not used any more) + printscreen for backglass added (o saves pf, u saves bg) + code map updated + reorg - all procedures moved up and down a bit + #winactivateforce added (didn't help much - actually made some wierd problems and freezes - removed) + fix focus on table close in win7 with triple checks + lots of triple checks added (ifactive, waitactive, ...) + taskbar shown on exit if there is no hyperpin process + cursor shown on exit + show vp/fp editor on error and close loading slider + activate commands moved to functions + file and screen debug modes added + toggle taskbar on t key (it was always shown, now it is hiden also) + fix blackscreen gui (no need for black screen if useloadscreen is true) + remove all detect hidden windows off + remove double exitscreen - it is executed on exit, no need to call it + find why hyperpin freezes sometimes ??? (activate force maybe) not much new things, but lots of bug testing on win7 and chasing black and white screens what's important - save backglass key added (u by deafult, you can use it in vp and fp) debug modes are now file, screen or true (for both), purpose is obvious t will now show and hide taskbar focus on win7 should be fixed (not the delay!!! delay will stay) feel free to report any bugs you find install is as usual - extract all to hyperpin, move images to media hyperpin images don't forget to READ installation manual - http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=100473#post100473 Edited July 3, 2012 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazz Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Having issues with this new version. Upon exit of a UVP table its not exiting the FPLaunch and it's removing focus from HP. Also, when launching Scared Stiff B2S the table is loosing focus, i have to ALT+TAB to VP Player to re-focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zablon Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I tested it for about an hour on multiple tables and in Win7-64bit. Overall I would say it performs much better. HP seems and somewhat faster. Going into and out of tables isn't really faster, but no more flashing so it looks better. I would also go so far as to say some tables seem to be performing better.
