First…. always test outside of a front-end first until you get something working completely. You will just add to your problems.
Make it simple. Run FP with the Backglass and Arcade mode disabled.
Then run the table. You should have had BAM’s Force Arcade Mode enabled. If not that needs to be changed for the cabinet view to still work and for Pinevent to work.
Also.,..if you are running DOF / PUP / SSF,etc… then yo need to narrow down the problem. You can disable each as you need to.
My guess….and this has been the main problem for most people… your DOF is not updated correctly.
Go here and reinstall DOF R3++ (important)
http://mjrnet.org/pinscape/dll-updates.html
Reboot and try again.
Always close FP completely each time you exit a table.
If needed disable DOF, then PUP, etc in PinEvent_Settings.vbs (for the mode you are using) one at a time to narrow down which is the problem. You can also “LAUNCH” the table with F9 to have debugger show up.
Don’t worry about script or front-ends. Get your PinEvent and tables working with FP correctly first.
After that… keep your Launch scripts simple at first until you know you have it working from Popper. Then do the extra things needed after.
One step at a time.
…and to point out the FAQ…
STEPS TO TRY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM
Run FP in DEBUG mode (F9) each time! It will tell you what is happening and help you out!
CLOSE Future Pinball completely EVERY TIME you exit the table and load it to try again.
Then try these steps in order:
- be sure FuturePinball.exe is NOT Run as Admin
- set FPloader.exe to NOT Run as Admin
- be sure the PinEvent vbs files are not blocked by Windows
- be sure the COM Extensions file is not blocked by Windows
- disable all DOF and PUP options in PinEvent_Settings.vbs for the mode you are trying to use (Desktop, Cabinet/Arcade mode, VR)
- if the table now runs fine with DOF and all PUP features disabled… then PinEvent vbs files are working!
- now try enabling either DOF or PUP options (all pup features on or off together). Only one or the other!
- see what DEBUG window tells you to help narrow it down
- if you can get one or the other working on their own, that is good
- you may need to Run FPLoader.exe as ADMIN or NOT as Admin. Try both.
- its possible that either DOF or PUP will work with Admin set one way, but the other may not
- if that is the case… then some of your pup files may be set to Run as Admin (and should NOT be Run as Admin)
- or your DOF install may be restricting access to FP because of security / admin issues
- ideally… nothing on your system should need to be Run as Admin at all so it all works nicely together
If you can’t get both DOF and PUP working at the same time (but they work if the other is disabled)… that is not a PinEvent problem.
Its a Windows security / Admin / access problem that you need to figure out. Something in either DOF or PuP related files needs a setting change, or they may need to be updated.
