Tom Speirs Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Introducing VPDB. With three years in the making I am pleased to introduce to you VPDB. VPDB is a collaboration between developer freezy with sponsorship from Spesoft/GameEx (creator of the PinballX and GameEx front ends). Completely free to its users and contributors for the foreseeable future, VPDB is an innovative new project where people can share their digital pinball table recreations and everything else related to virtual pinball. With this project comes innovation and change. We need your support to make it a success as without users and contributors it is nothing. However, if you cannot give that please at least respect the effort, time and skill that has gone into this project. We have tried to do something pretty cool here out of passion for the digital pinball community, and it's just the beginning: VPDB comes with an open API that allows any application to plug-in easily. The website is just the first example of what's possible. There is more to come! https://vpdb.io (We are still in beta phase but ready for you to come over and use). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itchigo Posted November 28, 2016 Share Posted November 28, 2016 Looks great. Any tables anyone wants to take from Rogue Pinball and upload here is welcome. My cabinet backup has 784 2 screen tables in it, but I don't have time to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Speirs Posted November 28, 2016 Author Share Posted November 28, 2016 We just need more contributors to make it awesome. It's all down to if people use it. I really hope people do. As you can see we are trying to do something special here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrobx Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 Super slick web interface. A couple random thoughts: 1) Since this has been "databaseized", would it be possible to have an interface that keeps track of your tables, and looks for updates and applies them automatically? (Pinball Arcade style) 2) Along the same vein, I bet people would find it really useful if people who want to be on the bleeding edge could keep VP / VPM / DOF / B2S all updated with the latest-greatest. As I'm currently doing a lot of VPM development, VPM core changes have a domino impact on other components, and folks have trouble keeping up with everything needed to run the latest bleeding-edge tables. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if eventually you could browse VPDB from within PBX and pick a table with it displaying please wait message while it downloads all the files and chucks them into appropriate paths that are set in some config wizard then launches said table when all operations have completed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fwiler Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 This is fantastic. This needs to be promoted! Really well done! Some "other" places are so hard to follow and even harder to find all files, due to bad organization and nomenclature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
