BladeZX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Ok got the exit working. Sometimes when I exit the screen freezes for a few seconds and then is ok. Sometimes it freezes and I cannot do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 little bit of blinking, white screens and black screens is normal set debug mode to "file" and you will see in log what is going on, probably fplaunch script tries to activate hyperpin freeze can also happen sometimes it helps if you set all programs to run in xp sp 3 compatibility mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 So have the following exes set to xp sp 3: hyperpin fplaunch visualpinball Did I miss any exe? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 i have it only on hyperpin.exe now i use to have it on all three, but vpinball.exe doesn't need it any more (focus is solved from fplaunch script) and fplaunch has some problems if you put it to xp sp3 mode. but you can test all combinations and see which one works best on your rig i also disabled aero completely on my laptop, and i'm using windows 7 basic theme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 I will disable aero tonight and see if that helps as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 one more - hglass.exe is also in xp sp3 comp mode at my comp, so you can try that also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Thanks. Will try this when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 OK made the changes... seems ok I assume it is normal for the screen to go black for a few seconds when loading and returning from a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loafer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 OK made the changes... seems okI assume it is normal for the screen to go black for a few seconds when loading and returning from a table? You have an ATI card? I do and I think I remember those with nvidia cards don't have as long a black screen as we with ATI GPU's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Loafer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Well then, I guess I'm wrong! How long of a black screen are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 When I select a game I get the rendering table message but the background goes black and then once the game is loaded the message goes away and the table displays. When I exit a table, I get the 3...2...1 and then it goes black for about 3-4 seconds and then HP is there again. Just wondering if that is normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evil eye Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Are you on Windows 7? From what you're describing it sounds like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 that's normal i have black screen on sandy bridge laptop also (intel GPU integrated inside CPU) but only if i have two screens and they last for cca 10-15 seconds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BladeZX Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yes Windows 7 64bit The black screen started either by getting rid of aero or by setting the HP and hglass to xp sp3 compatibility mode Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hm, i reduced blinking by disabling aero and going to compatibiliy mode. before that i had white and black screens, now only black, maybe i'll try again feel free to test all options and report which one works best - also on win7 run as admin has to be set for some programs (don't remember which ones exactly) - or maybe it is not important if you disable uac altogether?

blur Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 yup tested again with aero mode on and all exe's without any compatibility mode - much more blinking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupton Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I see that HyperPin freezing is a known issue on 1.295 WIP 9, I'm using Windows XP 32bit and I noticed the problem occurs after loading and exiting many tables, both VP and FP tables. Is there some type of debug mode in FPLaunch that I could enable that could help isolate the issue ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loafer Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 My only issue is after running a few tables (5?) HP becomes slow, to the point where its not feasible to use the skip by letter option as its just as slow as going one wheel at a time. I don't think this always occurs though. Using Win 7 64bit, I hope that is not the culprit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 (edited) hp being slow can't be because of fplaunch - cause fplaunch like any other program releases all memory when it exits debugmode = file in settings.ini will give you debug log in log.txt those freezes are result of this part of the script, obviuosly too many winactivates, and windows and hyperpin can't handle that so they just freeze. if there would be no winactivates or just one probably there would be no freeze and all would work great on xp but on win7 hp would sometimes stay out of focus so you would have to click with mouse, or do alt-tab which is problem on a cab so in short winactivates are made to solve win7 stupidity, but win7 stupidity is endless anybody is free to experiment with these commands Process, Exist, %hyperpinexe% PID := errorLevel if (PID) { ; activate hyperpin Sleep 200 loading = 1 waithp: toLog("waithp 1") if (loading = 0) break WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% MouseMove %A_ScreenWidth%/2, %A_ScreenHeight%/2 ;ControlClick,, ahk_class ThunderRT6FormDC ControlClick,, ahk_pid %PID% ;WinWaitActive, ahk_pid %PID% Sleep 200 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp toLog("waithp 2") WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% ControlClick,, ahk_pid %PID% ;WinWaitActive, ahk_pid %PID% Sleep 200 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp toLog("waithp 3") WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% ControlClick,, ahk_pid %PID% ;WinWaitActive, ahk_pid %PID% Sleep 200 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp Edited July 18, 2012 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Loafer Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 AAARGGGHHHHHHHHH!!! Sorry, that's what your list of commands did to my poor mind! ehhe Yeah, I noticed in the system tray, sometimes, I'll see about 6-8 HP logos, so does that reflect what you are talking about with winactivates? Keep in mind, I don't recall having ANY loss of focus issues, this is the only problem I've come across so far that I can recall. Wait, that's not true, HP and fplaunch both haven't made me a cup of coffee yet but since I hate coffey, they're still winners with me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 (edited) yea, yea - this focus problem is optional - just like black screen - somebody has it, somebody have milisecond time when they exit the game usually if you have long black screen chances are it will mess up focus but this tray icons - they are not from winactivates - it is just one icon for every game you started, they are deleted only when you bring mouse over them, that's how ahk works - it creates tray icon but doesn't delete it Edited July 19, 2012 by blur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blur Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 (edited) just some info for those comp savy enough to compile ahk script, i tried removing all winactivates (except first one) so this is what i used: Process, Exist, %hyperpinexe% PID := errorLevel if (PID) { [b] WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID%[/b] [b] ExitApp[/b] /* ; hglass activation doesn't work Process, Exist, HGlass1.exe PID1 := errorLevel ... next commands are not so important since exit is executed first - so this is the code that will try just one activate and then exit, it would work for people that say that previous versions never freeze for them. However when i try this fix - i never get freeze but sometimes i don't get focus then there is this light version with less activates and less clicking that will never freeze for me but also doesn't get focus always - it can do one two three activates and then exit and lose focus: Process, Exist, %hyperpinexe% PID := errorLevel if (PID) { ; activate hyperpin ;WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% ;ExitApp loading = 1 waithp: toLog("waithp 1") if (loading = 0) break Sleep 400 WinActivate, ahk_pid %PID% ;MouseMove %A_ScreenWidth%/2, %A_ScreenHeight%/2 ;ControlClick,, ahk_pid %PID% Sleep 400 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp toLog("waithp 2") Sleep 400 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp toLog("waithp 3") Sleep 400 IfWinNotActive, ahk_pid %PID% Goto waithp } else if (hideTaskbar = "true") { ; show taskbar if there is no hyperpin WinShow ahk_class Shell_TrayWnd WinShow Start ahk_class Button taskbar = 1 } Still searching for some method that will never freeze and never lose focus.

MTPPC Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Thank you for this work. I was having a random blackscreen over the playfield problem with HS's original FPLaunch and this took care of it. Plus the additional features are awesome. I really enjoy the autosave on screen resize and countdown on future pinball. I'm sure there's more features I haven't learned yet.

blur Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 yup, autosave of image positioning, and ability to set window position inside fp is great, it was one of the first things i did with this script and first time i started messing with fplaunch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
