same here dont want it to mess my system up and all cus of a name change lol.

It's more than a name change. I found HS1.4 to cure lots of issues I had and runs much faster. I had glitches with HLHQ that had been fixed in RL 1.0. I was one of the doubters and held back. Everything is working except system bios speech. There is a good chance that will never be fixed...so what is the wait for [emoji57] ?

I followed the update notes on the RL WIKI and it went like clockwork.

andyco40 · July 4, 2015

I did change and followed notes and it messed my system up so when back to old one for now.

The difference is massive. DX9 looks about the same as the tablet/phone versions. DX11 has full rendered lighting effects, bloom, shading etc... Sliders for room lighting and table bulb brightness. There is really no comparison, the jump up in quality is huge with the DX11 tables nearly looking like the real thing. That's why I asked if the videos were done in DX9 or 11.

Both versions have all of the tables and receive tables at the same time, going forward the DX11 version will probably be their main focus for improvements. The DX11 version is also the only one that works with the new camera mod. If your PC can run it you would never, ever go back to the DX9 version.

DX9:

DX11:

This vid shows DX9 followed by DX11 on Monster Bash and MM, but it looks like the DX11 version doesn't even have the bulb brightness turned up above 50%

just tried dx11 but the module not working for it plus my monitor aint 1080p its a 4.3 mate.

Metalzoic · July 4, 2015

You would have to use the newer module I posted much earlier in this thread or the latest one that came out last night (which is the same as my custom one earlier, but with one added setting).

Not sure how the 4:3 would work though although the DX11 version lets you choose between a bunch of x-y resolutions. Maybe you could find one that works well for you?

andyco40 · July 4, 2015

I got it working I change the titleclass and it worked but now when I play its changing from fullscreen to windowed and I don't no why.

Metalzoic · July 4, 2015

That I don't know. You have the module setting set to "true" in Rocketlauncher? I have mine set to fullscreen in the TPA config and in the module settings.

And did you set the version to "DX11" in the module settings as well? Probably because that's what changes the title class.

Unless you're still using the old module?

andyco40 · July 4, 2015

yep changed everthing but im not using rocketlauncher im still on hyperlaunch don't want to update yet cus it messed my setup last time.

andyco40 · July 4, 2015

wot kind of monitor u av mate if it 4.3 set res to 1280x960 that should full screen.

andyco40 · July 4, 2015

ok mate no probs glad ur sorted it.

Metalzoic · July 4, 2015

16:9.

I got it figured out though. Gotta set the DX11 version to a 4:3 resolution to make it fill the complete screen, weird as the DX9 version works perfectly fine that way on 1920x1080.

Weird. Mine is set to 1920x1080 and it fits the screen perfectly. Are you set to fullscreen or windowed? (I'm on fullscreen)

ninja2bceen · July 4, 2015

Metal this is a huge difference, thanks. So 11 is not dependent on 9 and I could delete 9 and still use 11 to save space? Also could you post your ini and final ahk as an attachment to be sure I'm using the right modified ones? Thanks--- nice progress on all this in general, pinball stuff is complete now not only for this one but fx2, visual and future pinball

ninja2bceen · July 4, 2015

Mind blown. What other pinball programs are there? I'd rather not go through the headache of upgrading yet if the module can also be shared and work on RL. My plan is to finish my setup then look at upgrading. I'm tweeking left overs after this one

Metalzoic · July 5, 2015

Weird. I actually made a topic here two days ago with this exact same info, but now I can't find it.

I changed line 133 of the newest DX11 module to:

Steam(238260,,"skipwhatsnew")

The module then launches TPA with the "New Table" nag screen permanently disabled. Now that screen should no longer randomly pop up and break the module/script.

Here's my fixed module if you want to see mine. If you copy/paste this one you will need to make 2 changes.

1. Line 68: "My Tables" has all of the tables listed and named to match my database. You'll have to make this line match your own database.

2. Lines 148 & 149: The key inputs to navigate the TPA main menu are different depending on if you own all the tables or not. Line 149 is the one to use if you own them all, line 148 if you don't. You will need to comment out ( the line you don't need and use the one you do. Hopefully that makes sense to you...

I made these changes to the DX11 module DJVJ made in this topic, post #8: http://www.rlauncher.com/forum/showt...w-DX11-version

MEmu = Pinball Arcade
MEmuV = v1.39.9
MURL = http://www.pinballarcade.com/
MAuthor = djvj (tweaked by me!)
MVersion = 2.0.3
MSystem = "Pinball Arcade","Pinball"
;----------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Notes:
; Initial setup:
; Manually run Pinball Arcade. If you own all the games and they can all be found in the My Tables folder, Simply Enter the My Tables folder and browse to the first table (alphabetically) and exit Pinball Arcade.
; The module comes default with all the available tables (as of 1/14/2014) alphabetically sorted in the module setting My_Tables.
; It will parse this setting and assume you own all the games. If you do not own all the games, recreate this setting in RocketLauncherUI with all the games you own, and separate each one with a |
; The My_Tables names match the names from your FE's database.
;
; If launching as a Steam game:
; When setting this up in RocketLauncherUI under the global emulators tab, make sure to select it as a Virtual Emulator. Also no rom extensions, executable, or rom paths need to be defined.
; Set Skip Checks to "Rom and Emu" when using this module as roms do not exist.
;
; If not launching through Steam:
; Add this as any other standard emulator and define the PinballArcade.exe as your executable, but still select Virtual Emulator as you do not need rom extensions or rom paths
; Set Skip Checks to "Rom and Emu" when using this module as roms do not exist.
;
; This module requires BlockInput.exe to exist in your Module Extensions folder. It is used to prevent users from messing up the table selection routine.
; If BlockInput is not actually blocking input, it's due to not having admin credentials, which you will need to set this exe to run as admin.
; However, this also means RocketLauncher needs to be set to run as admin as well, keep this in mind.
;
; If you want bezel support set to the game be played in windowed mode
;
; How to run vertical games on a standard monitor:
; There are 3 methods supported by this module to rotate your desktop. Windows shortcuts, display.exe and irotate.exe. If one method does not work on your computer, try another.
;
; If the key sends are not working, make sure your RocketLauncher is set to run as administrator.
;
; Pinball Arcade stores some settings in your registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PinballArcade\PinballArcade

;----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Notes:

; Initial setup:

; Manually run Pinball Arcade. If you own all the games and they can all be found in the My Tables folder, Simply Enter the My Tables folder and browse to the first table (alphabetically) and exit Pinball Arcade.

; The module comes default with all the available tables (as of 1/14/2014) alphabetically sorted in the module setting My_Tables.

; It will parse this setting and assume you own all the games. If you do not own all the games, recreate this setting in RocketLauncherUI with all the games you own, and separate each one with a |

; The My_Tables names match the names from your FE's database.

;

; If launching as a Steam game:

; When setting this up in RocketLauncherUI under the global emulators tab, make sure to select it as a Virtual Emulator. Also no rom extensions, executable, or rom paths need to be defined.

; Set Skip Checks to "Rom and Emu" when using this module as roms do not exist.

;

; If not launching through Steam:

; Add this as any other standard emulator and define the PinballArcade.exe as your executable, but still select Virtual Emulator as you do not need rom extensions or rom paths

; Set Skip Checks to "Rom and Emu" when using this module as roms do not exist.

;

; This module requires BlockInput.exe to exist in your Module Extensions folder. It is used to prevent users from messing up the table selection routine.

; If BlockInput is not actually blocking input, it's due to not having admin credentials, which you will need to set this exe to run as admin.

; However, this also means RocketLauncher needs to be set to run as admin as well, keep this in mind.

;

; If you want bezel support set to the game be played in windowed mode

;

; How to run vertical games on a standard monitor:

; There are 3 methods supported by this module to rotate your desktop. Windows shortcuts, display.exe and irotate.exe. If one method does not work on your computer, try another.

;

; If the key sends are not working, make sure your RocketLauncher is set to run as administrator.

;

; Pinball Arcade stores some settings in your registry @ HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\PinballArcade\PinballArcade

I am using v139.7 and the newest module from RL. Pinball arcade runs in dx11 but no matter what game I select just stops at the main menu....query I have to press "1" to select stuff not "enter" does this matter?

andyco40 · July 5, 2015

iv just changed over to rocketlauncher from hyperlaunch and got it working.

the new module as not got new roadshow table u need to copy all your mytables from ur old module to new module and overwrite them then i changed my sleep b4 logo to 7000 and that worked for me.

also rename the dx11 exe to pinballarcade.exe and the dx9 to wot ever u want then select dx11 in module settings.

I figured I had all of the tables...I'll take another look

andyco40 · July 5, 2015

it should be after pinbot in module

potts43 · July 5, 2015

But no games work

potts43 · July 5, 2015
