BAM update

You MUST install the latest update to BAM (1.5-295 when this was posted) for PinEvent based tables to work!

https://www.ravarcade.pl/download

 

PinEvent Install download:

• PinEvent is required by everyone to use the table
• it’s also needed for all DOF and PUP features

https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/pinevent-dof-mx-pup-ssf-pupdmd-for-future-pinball/

 

PinEvent Install Instructions and Setup:

• it’s VERY important to have PinEvent, PuP and all PuP displays correctly setup FIRST!
• This install guide will answer all your questions! Please, read and follow all of it!

https://vpinball.com/forums/topic/pinevent-dof-mx-pup-ssf-pupdmd-for-future-pinball/#post-171545

 

Install Pinup Player:

http://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=install_guide

…then update to Pinup Player 1.4.5 or higher (its REQUIRED for PinEvent PuP-Packs):

https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=release_notes

 

DOF (Direct Output Framework)

• if you are using DOF in a cabinet for feedback and lighting, you will need to be updated to DOF R3++
• you will need to update your DOF config files from the DOF Config Tool website (to retrieve the PinEvent table’s DOF config)

DOF R3++

http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/dll-updates.html

DOF CONFIG TOOL

http://configtool.vpuniverse.com/login.php

 

DOFLinx is NOT to be enabled while using PinEvent tables!

• you can’t have DOFLinx detect FP and running while a PinEvent table is running
• this is because you don’t want both PinEvent and DOFLinx triggering DOF at the same time!
• consult the PinEvent install guide for more info about pausing DOFLinx

INSTALL the TABLE FILES and PUP-PACK

 

The table zip file includes:

• Jaws ULTIMATE Pro 1.08 (PinEvent 1.2).fpt
• Jaws ULTIMATE Pro 1.08 (PinEvent 1.2).cfg

Table file:

• Jaws ULTIMATE Pro 1.08 (PinEvent 1.2).fpt
• goes in your “FuturePinball\Tables” folder

BAM CFG file:

• Jaws ULTIMATE Pro 1.08 (PinEvent 1.2).cfg
• this is a BAM cfg file for the table that will have a nice cabinet POV and backglass setup
• goes in your “BAM\cfg” folder and must be named the same as the table file

PUP-PACK

• extract the FP_PE_JAWS_ULT_PRO PuP-Pack from the PuP-Pack zip file and copy it to the “PUPVideos” folder

 

 

---

 

 

PUP-PACK OPTIONS

There are multiple options you can choose from for the PuP-Pack for various different cabinet or desktop setups. There is no need to copy and paste different media folders or pup files. Everything is now in one PuP-Pack folder.

 

To choose your PuP-Pack Option:

• go into the PuP-Pack folder, and double-click on the BAT file for the Option you want
• this will copy the correct *.pup files (from the PuP-Pack_Options folder) to the main PuP-Pack folder
• your Pup-Pack is ready to go. Super easy!

 

It’s important to choose a PuP-Pack that is correct for your cabinet setup, and that it matches your PUPDMD settings!

• your PuPDMDDriverType in PinEvent_Settings.vbs MUST match the PUPDMD you are using in the PuP-Pack
• or if you are using “PinEvent – CUSTOM SETTINGS” in the table script… then that PuPDMDDriverType MUST match the PUPDMD you are using in the PuP-Pack

 

DO NOT MODIFY THE PUP-PACK’s Screen Mode Settings!

• the PuP-Pack’s Screen Mode settings (ForceOn, ForcePop, ForceBack, ForcePopBack,etc) are NOT to be changed!
• they are set the way they are for a good reason in order for all layers of the PuP-Pack to work correctly!
• the only time you can make a change is to disable an undesired PuP Screen feature (set to OFF), or to enable a Topper (ForceOn)

 

Here are the PuP-Pack options you can choose from:

 

Option 1 – DMD and Real DMD – Complete Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 0 (DMD 4:1)
• PuPDMDDriverType = 1 (Real DMD)
• uses PuP “DMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 4:1 ratio resolution! (real DMD must be 512×128)
• backglass has animated underlay and bottom text
• picture shows the Topper option enabled (your Topper position may vary if you have a Topper screen / space)
• needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

      Real DMD Users: Those who are using a Real DMD Option with any PuP-Pack needs to:

• edit the Pup-pack for each table with the PuP-Pack Editor
• set Screen 1 (DMD) to ForceBack to try to hide the PuP DMD screen (that is being mirrored to the Real DMD)

 

Option 2 – Full DMD – Complete Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• uses PuP “FullDMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 16:9 ratio resolution!
• backglass has animated underlay and bottom text
• needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 3 – DMD on Complete Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• size and position is automatically set by the Pup-Pack
• backglass has animated underlay
• needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 4 – DMD and Real DMD – Basic Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 0 (DMD 4:1)
• PuPDMDDriverType = 1 (Real DMD)
• uses PuP “DMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 4:1 ratio resolution! (real DMD must be 512×128)
• backglass has static underlay and bottom logo doesn’t change
• picture shows the Topper option enabled (your Topper position may vary if you have a Topper screen / space)
• does NOT need “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 5 – Full DMD – Basic Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• uses PuP “MUSIC” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 16:9 ratio resolution!
• backglass has static underlay and bottom logo doesn’t change
• does NOT need “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 6 – Backbox AIO – Square – Speaker Panel, Full DMD, Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• uses PuP “Game Select” for reference (must be a 1:1 ratio)
• size and position is automatically set by the Pup-Pack
• might need “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 7 – Backbox AIO – 4×3 and 5×4 – Speaker Panel, Full DMD, Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• uses PuP “Game Select” for reference, which must be a ratio of 4:3 (1024×768) or 5:4 (1280:1024)
• size and position is automatically set by the Pup-Pack
• might need “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers

 

Option 8 – PUP Stream – Desktop – Full DMD, Backglass

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• uses PuP “Game Select” for reference (must be a ratio of 16:9), which is displayed on a dummy plug monitor (or equivalent)
• size and position is automatically set by the Pup-Pack
• FP is run in fullscreen and the PuP Stream options display the PuP-Pack and FullDMD on the HUD and table

 

Desktop (Single Screen-Windowed) example – using Option 5

• PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
• needs FP to be run in Forced Borderless Windowed mode
• might need “PuP-Packs on Top”

 

 

A FEW IMPORTANT NOTES ABOUT THE DIFFERENT PUP-PACK OPTIONS

• FULL DMD options – have more videos and eye-candy than other options. By far the coolest!
• FULL DMD options – some Backglass videos will have no text on them. This is because the FULL DMD screen has animated text for those events instead.
• FULL DMD options – Backglass underlay videos don’t change as much because the FULL DMD screen shows similar / nicer videos
• DMD options don’t have the splash videos like FULL DMD
• Complete Backglass = Animated underlay and bottom Logo Text. Has full PuP-Pack Backglass videos
• Basic Backglass = Static underlay and bottom Logo doesn’t change. Has full PuP-Pack Backglass videos

Desktop / Single Screen-Windowed Users:

• single screen / desktop-windowed users should use the Basic Backglass option as it will run properly for them and keep the PuP-Pack on Top much easier

Cabinet / Multiscreen Users:

• cabinet users using the “Complete Backglass” options MUST use “PuP-Packs on Top” (or use disable FP backglass method) to have all PuP-Pack layers visible. If you still have problems, then try using the “Basic Backglass” options instead

Topper Videos

• the Topper has some videos similar to the Full DMD bottom text, but not all of them (and it has none of the FULL DMD splash videos)
• it is disabled by default. You need to edit the PuP-Pack and set the Topper Screen to ForceOn

 

Backglass Default Background Video

I have included 4 different options for the Default video that shows on the Backglass

• original movie shark on Tarcisio’s video
• Tarcisio Shark
• open mouth from Jaws POV
• original FP art

To change to a different Default Background video, delete the mp4 in the “Backglass – Background” folder. Then copy your choice of video from the “Backglass – Background\Alternate” folder to the “Backglass – Background” folder.

You must also do the same for the “Drain” folder to have the drain “blood” video match your choice for the Default Background video.

FUTURE PINBALL BACKGLASS (PROBLEMS)

• some PuP-Packs layers may not appear on top of the FP Backglass when the table starts
• this is because the pup-pack usually starts before FP does. When the FP Backglass starts afterward, it pops on top of the PuP windows
• you can get around this by either using a “Pup-Packs on Top” pupinit.bat file or by disabling the FP Backglass when using PuP-Packs

“PUP-Packs on Top”

• copy the pupinit.bat from the “PuP-Pack_Options\PuP-Packs on TOP\Cabinet – Multiscreen” to the main pup-pack folder
• when the table and pup-pack starts, the pupinit.bat will run and try to sort out the layering of the FP and PUP windows (wait about 5 secs after table start)

Disabling the FP Backglass and Arcade Mode (for PinEvent tables only, recommended)

For more info on this solution, goto the PinEvent guide and read the section labelled FUTURE PINBALL BACKGLASS

Desktop (Single Screen – Windowed) and PUP-PACKS

• PUPDMD and PuP-Packs can be used with a single screen setup
• you can use some, but not all of the Pup-Pack options
• FP must be running in a Forced Borderless Windowed Mode to allow the PUP Windows to appear on top of the FP window
• this may cause some stutter or performance issues due to running FP in a Windowed mode
• depending on the PuP-Pack, you may need to use a “PUP-Packs on Top” pupinit.bat file to push the FP window below the PUP windows
• if needed, just copy the pupinit.bat from the “PuP-Pack_Options\PuP-Packs on TOP\Desktop – Single Screen” to the main pup-pack folder
• when the table and pup-pack starts, the pupinit.bat will run and try to sort out the layering of the FP and PUP windows (wait about 5 secs after table start)

More info on how to setup FP in Borderless Windowed mode and “PUP-Packs on Top” can be found here:

https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/pup-packs-on-top-use-pup-packs-on-a-single-screen-desktop-view-fp-vpx-fx3-etc/

 

Desktop (Single Screen – Fullscreen) and PUP-PACKS (using PUP Stream)

• a much better option is to use the PUP Stream option to stream the PuP-Pack and PUPDMD windows into FP directly
• you need to be able to display the PUP Game Select window on a dummy plug-monitor, or spare input of your monitor / TV connected to your video card
• this gives you options to see the PuP windows on the Desktop view HUD, Apron cards, playfield mini screen, and on the FP Backbox
• for more information on PUP Stream, read the PinEvent Install Guide

Here’s a demo of PUP Stream in action:

SUMMARY

 

Installing and Using a PinEvent table and PuP-Pack

If you have PinEvent and PuP correctly installed, setup and working, then adding a new PinEvent table should be as simple as:

• install table files
• install Pup-Pack files (if using any PUP features)
• run the “Option xx – xxxx.bat” in the PuP-Pack folder that matches your cabinet / layout and your PUPDMD settings
• make sure your front end isn’t running others unneeded apps or displaying media in the display areas of the PuP-Pack
• update your DOF config files from DOF Config Tool (if using DOF features)
• run the table
• adjust the FP Sound and FP Music levels in game (if needed) to be able to hear / match the SSF sound levels (if using SSF)
• done

Be sure that you completely close the table and Future Pinball after exiting a game every time before trying to load and play another table!

 

PROBLEMS?

If the table, PuP-Pack, PUPDMD, or DOF still isn’t working, check the FAQ of the PinEvent Install guide.

DEBUG MODE

Also, you can try running the table in DEBUG mode (launch with F9).

I have included messages that indicate:

• what is detected as installed (DOF, PUP)
• what mode FP is run in (desktop, Cabinet, VR)
• what PinEvent profile is being used
• if PinEvent Custom Settings from the table script are being used
• what you have set for the “default” PuPDMDDriverType
• what PuPDMDDriverType is actually being used
• what is enabled and being used (DOF, PUP, SSF, PUPDMD, etc)
• what DOF / SSF / PUP triggers are being used in real time
• and more!

It can be very helpful to narrow down what is happening behind the scenes!

 

CHECKLIST

This is a more thorough checklist of what you should do for EVERY new PinEvent table and Pup-Pack install:

• ALWAYS follow instructions on the download PAGE!
• copy the FP PinEvent table to your Tables folder and any other files it uses to their respective folders
• copy the PuP-Pack to the PUPVideos folder
• in the PuP-Pack folder, run the”Option xx – xxxx.bat” for the PuP-Pack option you want based on your PUPDMD needs
• only if required, disable the PuP-Pack screens for features you are NOT using (Topper, Backglass, DMD, SSF)
• be sure the PUPDMD used in the PuP-Pack is correct for your cabinet / setup and it matches your PUPDMD settings!
• if you require a custom PinEvent or PUPDMD setting for the table, edit the PinEvent Custom Settings in the table script to match your needs
• there may be user “table” options at the top of the table script you might want to check out
• be sure there is no front-end media set to display on the screens / areas of the PuP-Pack when launching the table
• be sure the front-end isn’t launching FutureDMD or pupdmdcontrol.exe (if using PUPDMD features)
• be sure DOFLinx is disabled / paused while launching  and playing PinEvent tables
• when running the FP table, adjust the FP Sound and Music if needed (using HOME/END and PAGEUP/PAGEDOWN) to allow the PUP SSF to be heard better

FAQ:

 

 

If you have problems or questions about PinEvent tables or related issues, the FIRST place you should goto is the extremely helpful PinEvent Install Guide and the nicely organized PinEvent FAQ at the bottom of the guide.

You will find answers to most problems or other questions there.

https://vpinball.com/forums/topic/pinevent-dof-mx-pup-ssf-pupdmd-for-future-pinball/#post-171545

 

You should also have used my Future Pinball, BAM, DOF, PUP, VR and front-end Mega-Guide to properly setup Future Pinball and BAM the right way to avoid any problems related to Future Pinball and BAM’s setup in the first place. It’s very helpful and will save you lots of headaches!

Disclaimer and Terms of Usage of PinEvent:

I have made PinEvent and my PinEvent tables so they can be shared and enjoyed by the entire virtual pinball community.

I have created the PinEvent vbs files / code and all my PinEvent tables / mods in a way so they will work in ALL setups. This includes desktop, vr, and ALL cabinet setups which will include 3 screen / 2 screen / real DMD, etc.

There is no need or reason to edit or mod any PinEvent table (except for custom PinEvent settings), or a need to edit the pup-packs in order to get them to work on ANY setup and have them work as intended by myself and the “correct” way.

I have no problem with anyone changing or modding my tables / pup-packs for “personal” use.

I DO NOT authorize anyone to distribute any of my PinEvent tables / mods / pup-packs or the PinEvent vbs files or code, or distribute any mod of such, for any reason on any site / group / share of any sort, unless I have given permission to do so.

You can use portions of PinEvent code (in relation to adding DOF and PUP working) on your own FP table in the table script… but do not use the PinEvent specific code on any table.

Please do not use the name PinEvent in reference to any other table or code, or in relation to adding DOF or PUP to a FP table.

If you have downloaded anything to do with PinEvent from another site or location that I have not posted myself… or are using a modded version, then you are not using proper PinEvent tables / software / pup-packs.

I will NOT give support to anything except for the PinEvent vbs files / tables / pup-packs I myself have posted on this site.

PinEvent represents my own personal work and standard that I have worked very hard to create… and also “support”.

All I ask is that you get it from the source where I have posted it. Doing so will ensure it will always work as intended with any updates to PinEvent or the tables / pup-packs I create (which are often)… as well as any changes I have made to ensure compatibility with new updates / features from BAM.

If you do download and play a PinEvent table from here… PLEASE give feedback on THIS site’s forum… and even better post videos of it in your cabinet. It’s the only way I can ever know if people enjoy what I create… or if I need to make any fixes.

Thank you.

I did you could do this

How do you do this? – FP Backglass disabled

PinEvent guide tells you what to do, but there are different ways to do it

Myself, in my Launch Script for Popper, I change settings in the registry to disable the FP Backglass and Arcade mode (but you need BAM Force Arcade mode enabled) when launching PinEvent tables… and then re-enable those settings when Launching normal FP tables.

 

It’s easier to just use PuP-Packs on Top if you aren’t script or registry savy.

Thanks for the Tips, i was going crazy trying to figure out why jaws backglass didn’t work but the other two PE titles did work…

I add this to the top of my FP Launch script (before FP gets launched)… REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “ArcadeMode” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “SecondMonitorEnable” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

I think there was a bad copy/paste in the note above..when starting the update should be to a 0 and when existing set to a 1.

For PinballX I created a “other system” for alternate FP launching and couple of batch files for “Launch Before” and “Launch After”

Start.bat :

if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start “” /min “%~dpnx0” %* && exit

C:

cd C:\DirectOutput

CMD /C DOFLinxMsg.exe HOLD_ACTIVATION=1

REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “ArcadeMode” /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “SecondMonitorEnable” /t REG_DWORD /d 0 /f

exit

and ExitPE.bat :

if not DEFINED IS_MINIMIZED set IS_MINIMIZED=1 && start “” /min “%~dpnx0” %* && exit

C:

cd C:\DirectOutput

CMD /C DOFLinxMsg.exe HOLD_ACTIVATION=0

REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “ArcadeMode” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

REG ADD “HKCU\Software\Future Pinball\GamePlayer” /v “SecondMonitorEnable” /t REG_DWORD /d 1 /f

exit

 

My example text is correct.

This was an example for Pinup POPPER (not PBX or PBY) to work from the same single emulator.

“So what happens is… first the Backglass and Arcade Mode are enabled… but then if the Game being launched has NoBackGlass in the the “Custom Launch Parameter” field, then those settings get disabled.”

One of the many perks of using Popper. This type of thing is really easy to do from the same emulator.

 

For PBX or PBY… yes, you would use a separate emulator for PinEvent and have the launch disable the backglass and arcade mode, and on exit re-enable them.

 

You can also do this with Popper as well if preferred.

So no, you don’t need to use an xml with any Ultimate Pro or PinEvent tables (or other tables indicating they use new Dynamic Physics / Flippers).

Since it doesn’t use the xml file, I guess there’s not an easy way to copy the physics from Jaws to other tables.

I’ll look into deleting those xml files though I guess from what you’re saying, I don’t need to since they are ignored.

Well, physics isn’t just a one solution band-aid that can work for any table. Each table’s geometry, flippers, slope, etc all plays into it.

Jaws physics may not work well or another table. It needs to be tailored for what works best on the table.

The XMLs are indeed ignored for any new tables using modern BAM physics.

 

That said… you “could” try copying this code to another table’s script that has NOT been updated yet. Note, that the Dynamic Flipper Settings are made for a two flipper table. This section may need changing to work well with another table’s flippers. Also the table slope, flippers, elasticity, geometry etc may need updating to match.

Not saying this will just work well…but you can play around with it.

 

Copy and Paste this under the line Option Explicit in the table script or at the very bottom of the script:
