  1. Hi Guys, i would be interested in becoming a lifetime subscriber to GameEx so I can have access to the FTP. But I am a little bit worried if it provides a better user experience than using a google picture search. So I hope some of you subscribers can enligthen me. For example in the PinballX Game List Manager, if i press the search Button as a non-subscriber I will find artwork for most classic VP tables. However there is nothing for PinballFX 2 (3) or Pinball Arcade. So how is the experience if I subscribe? I know there are artworks available for these tables but would they show up in the search of the interface for me to select directly? Or do I need to manually connect to the FTP download everything and then locate the stuff from my Harddrive? (That would be like the google experience) Thank you for your insights!
  2. I did not see this one! Thank you! Works like a charm!
  3. Bingo! Thank you Tom for pointing this out! I can now launch tables directly!
  4. I just replaced the command line steam ID and it launches the product. However, it seems there is no command line support to go directly to a table. So you end up in the main menu.... But worse than that is, that you cannot enter your initials without a keyboard attached.... not to mention missing local high-scores. I hope they will listen to the community and add these things so it becomes as good as pinball fx2...
  5. It would be very useful to be able to define buttons to scroll through the Categories/Groups directly. So left / right scroll within category (i.e. select table or game), up / down next category (i.e. Visual Pinball Group, Future Pinball Group, MAME Group etc...).
  6. Here are my settings. The script is compiled in the tpa_run.exe
  7. I have solved this problem now, using AHK Here is my modified version of the script. It basically just positions the cursor at the location of this button and sends a mouseclick... Seems to work so far... ______________________________________ Process, Close, pinballx.exe Run C:\Tools\TPAFreeCamMod\TPAFreeCamMod.exe -table %1% ~x:: Process, Close, PinballArcade11.exe FileRead, xmldata, c:\PinballX\Databases\Pinball Arcade FreeCam\Pinball Arcade FreeCam.xml ;change to your pinball arcade database doc := ComObjCreate("MSXML2.DOMDocument.6.0") doc.async := false doc.loadXML(xmldata) table = //game[@name='%1%']/description Node := doc.selectSingleNode(table) description:= Node.text IniWrite, %description%%1%System_7, D:\Pinballx\Config\PinballX.ini, Internal, lastselected ;change drive letter and system number, for me its 2 in Other Systems so _2 Run C:\Pinballx\PinballX.exe EndeApp: ExitAPP return ~Return:: soundbeep click 847, 1273 down sleep 100 click 847, 1273 up return
  8. Hi Guys! Finally command line support for The Pinball Arcade is working with the new version of the FreeCamMod! I only have a small problem left with this mod and I hope someone knows how to help If I lose a game (all 3 balls lost) and I would like to start the table again, I cannot do so without positioning the mouse over the "Tick-Button", as it does not have focus and thus does not react to my "Enter" key. This behaviour only happens if I run FreeCamMod. If I start The Pinball Arcade directly (using PinballX, or directly from Steam) the "Tick-Button" always has the focus and the game reacts to the "Enter" key. I know this is a FreeCamMod Issue, and I have asked for help in their forums as well but got no reply so far. Am I the only one having this problem? Anyone has a solution for this? Thank you very much! Cheers
  9. Update: I found out that this table uses the .exe file to show the backglass. All other B2S files were either broken and the one shown was really the one from Scared Stiff... renamed... I don't remember doing this, but who knows... Anyways, I downloaded a new B2S file for this and now it works. Thank you Roman Hi guys, I have a strange issue with one specific b2s backglass. When I move to my Terminator 2 - Judgement Day table in the PinballX table selection, it does not display the B2S backglass of this table, but the one from Scared Stiff instead! Mind you, this only happens in PinballX. If I start the Table, it shows the correct backglass. I understand PinballX has some logic to find a closest matching name. The only thing special I found, was that the backglass has to have the name "T2_Chrome_FS_B2S.directb2s", otherwise it is not found in the table script. My understanding is however, that the Backglass needs to match the Pinballs name in PinballX. So if my table is called "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day.vp", my Backglass must be named "Terminator 2 - Judgement Day.directb2s" So I thought I was smart and just put a 2nd copy of the Backglass into the folder ("Terminator 2 - Judgement Day.directb2s" and "T2_Chrome_FS_B2S.directb2s" so that the Visual Pinball script can use one file, and PinballX can use the other... But regardless of what I try it will always show the Scared Stiff B2S in PinballX... I also noticed that when I "import" the backglass in PinballX, it will create a copy of the directb2s file in the root of my tables folder (I use subfolders for each table). Not sure if this is related, but this is something which did not happen with my other tables.... Anyone here who has an Idea how to fix this? Thank you! Roman
  10. Here is what I use! Launch before is DISABLED... (that was a former attempt to get it running
  11. Hi Guys I finally solved a riddle that cost me hours of sleep and nervers - TPA is working now. My final problem was it seems that I apparantly stumbled over a little Bug left in the current version of PinballX. My problem was, that TPA would hang in the very start screen whenever I launched it with PinballX. I think I tried almost everything apart from downgrading to Windows 7 (which I read somewhere would help). I followed the latest advises to just set everything to default with the green check button but it did not help. So after messing around for some hours today I discovered the wonderful PinballX log. (It actually helps to read the help guidelines!). So the log was telling me that it launched the V.2 interface! Even directly after setting the default values, which should launch the V.3 instead! To resolve this I selected the V.2 interface, exited the Setup to save and went back in to change back to V.3. After that it worked immediately! So for all beginners who also have problems with TPA here are my settings to get it working. (And also get some of the other Simulators to work) Windows 10 (yes it works!) User Account Control disabled (to be able to run as administrator without getting confirmation dialogs) PinballX.exe set to always run as Administrator (I think the AHK script running for the table selection does not work without it) Pinball Arcade DX9 with a Fullscreen Window (I am not sure if real fullscreen works) It also works with DX11. Use this exe (and specify it in the PinballX launcher instead of the Steam.exe to get the TPAFreeCamMod working TPAFreeCamMod requires DX11 Windowed Fullscreen After you get this to work you just have to update your gamelist with the grid locations of the games you own. For this remember that the first number is the row, the second is the column! The script works with the owned tables, so whenever you buy a new table pack you will have to redo the grid locations. To make setting the script locations easier, I just took a screenshot with Steam of the table selection screen. That's it! I hope this helps some of you guys who are facing the same problem Cheers!
  12. All good, no offence taken. Did not want to distract you guys with my posts. I really appreciate your work and effort put into PinballX. Thank you
  13. I just bought this game on Steam (5 days ago or so). So this is definitely the latest version of the Pinball Arcade GUI I am using.
  14. No No, don't get me wrong. I really appreciate all the hard work Tom puts into this! Just wanted to say that it only really started to behave like that (not going over the start screen) with the very latest release of PinballX. It sounded a bit like it was concluded that the latest windows update introduced this behaviour, which in my opinion is not the case. This does, however not rule out, that there could be a whole bunch of other issues which are specific to Win10. So if there is anyhting I can do to help pinpointing it, I am willing to help. Thank you!
  15. Well if it was a pure unfixable Windows 10 Issue, both versions of the PinballX.exe would behave the same on my System with Win10 and Nvidia. However the older version gets past the Start Screen. So even if this is a Win10 only issue, it looks like it depends on the programming of the pinballx.exe.
