I’m responding to a comment made in this one. I can’t actually test the beta, as my cab is in storage, but I’m keenly aware of the issues he’s addressing. So just wanted to note that there is no reason to keep my inferior code around. Burn it! Cheers and happy testing everyone.

I’m super happy someone took this on.
My two cents: I strongly recommend that it not be an alternate mode, but rather, just we should just replace the existing 7.1 position calculations with this code. This is most definitely fixing deficiencies in my original code, so there’s no good reason to keep the original formula around!

Hey TerryRed, I think you can change this in your guide now. :)
“Pinup Player (PuP-Packs) from PinEvent tables do not currently work in VR. We need a combined force of ravarcade Nailbuster DJRobX to make a PUP plug-in for BAM! (it would look amazing guys!)”
Indeed. Said forces were combined and the results were gooooood. :)

Hi @ebislit. Sounds awesome! This would definitely benefit from a better playfield. As one of the authors, I can release an update to this table. Please send me a DM with the updated table and change list, and we can work on getting it published.

OK, that works thanks. It’s frustrating as you have to use the older revision romset (I’m not sure what the differences are, there’s obviously a reason for the update though), so I’m not sure if I’m going to implement it yet…
I’ve updated the vpinmame code to support FF for both revisions. So the next SAMBuild will support fast flips for startrp.

It’s a loose format, it will ignore things it doesn’t understand.
Comments are supported. It specifically ignores # or ‘ or ; . .. or you can put whatever you want after a space
If you add “rem” that will also work since “rem” doesn’t match a rom name…

I looked into this briefly hoping to be able to rip TAF sounds. My quick conclusion is there is no easy way. If you need command codes, you can snoop on a playing table using SoundCommand and VPX’s debug window.
If you download 32Assassin’s “Game show” table you can see how to hook it up. Game Show uses sound commands to drive the chase lights.
*edit*: I remembered Thalamus wanted details so I described how I did it, which even has the debug prints. Check this post:

Looks great, is enough for me to get started with my part.

Not to veer off topic so early on, but you brought this on yourself: :)
Regarding: “Pinup Player (PuP-Packs) from PinEvent tables do not currently work in VR. We need a combined force of @ravarcade @Nailbuster @DJRobX to make a PUP plug-in for BAM! (it would look amazing guys!)”
I actually wrote the capture stuff as a standalone app, because coding on the cab sucks. Would be easy to port it into a plugin DLL if Rav can give some structure to copy an image into. Have him make an example plugin that puts random noise in an image and I can update it with the grabber.

For any desktop users playing force exclusive fullscreen, any ideas on getting the DMD to show up? Still playing with the script
I actually just did this for VR which also needs it to be present. It’s pretty easy. Just go to backdrop options. Go to view/playfield image/backdrop to turn on the wallpaper. Add a textbox to the left corner inside the box. Check “Use script DMD”. Make it 256 width by 105 high and move it into the area for the DMD. Pick orange for the color (or green or whatever you want). Then edit the script and add
“const UseVPMDMD=1” near the top (I did it on line 154, under const ballmass)
That’s it, it should work.
