REQUIREMENTS:
- Future Pinball
- latest version of BAM
- PinEvent 1.4 or higher
- (optional) Pinup Player 1.45 or higher for PuP features
DESKTOP USERS (not using DOF or PUP):
- anyone who only wants to play the table (and NOT use any DOF or PUP features) just needs to install the PinEvent files.
- after that, my PinEvent table mods will operate and play like a normal Future Pinball table.

PLEASE, take the time to read through ALL of the instructions and options
FUTURE PINBALL and BAM SETUP GUIDE:
Before you go ANY farther, goto my guide to ensure you have Future Pinball and BAM setup correctly!
https://vpinball.com/forums/topic/future-pinball-and-bam-mega-guide-by-terryred/
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:
- F-14 Tomcat (Ultimate Pro 1.01) – PinEvent 1.0.fpt
- F-14 Tomcat (Ultimate Pro 1.01) – PinEvent 1.0.cfg
Table file:
- F-14 Tomcat (Ultimate Pro 1.01) – PinEvent 1.0.fpt
- goes in your “FuturePinball\Tables” folder
BAM CFG file:
- F-14 Tomcat (Ultimate Pro 1.01) – PinEvent 1.0.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_F14_TOMCAT_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
- it will also copy a Option Selected.jpg (image showing what the PuP-Pack option looks like) and Option Selected.txt to help you verify what Option is being used
- you will see a command prompt window showing the files have been copied, and what PinEvent / PuP settings are needed for that PuP-Pack Option (you can close the window)
- 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 0 – DMD, Backglass
- PuPDMDDriverType = 0 (DMD 4:1)
- uses PuP “DMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 4:1 ratio resolution!
- needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers
Option 1 – Real DMD, Backglass
- PuPDMDDriverType = 1 (Real DMD)
- uses PuP “DMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 4:1 ratio resolution! (for real DMD must be 512×128)
- needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers
Option 2 – Full DMD, Backglass
- PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
- uses PuP “Full DMD” Screen’s size and position, which MUST be a 16:9 ratio resolution!
- needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers
Option 3 – Full DMD on Backglass
- PuPDMDDriverType = 2 (Full DMD 16:9)
- Full DMD size and position is automatically set by the Pup-Pack
- PuP “Backglass” Screen’s size and position MUST be a 16:9 ratio resolution!
- needs “PuP-Packs on Top” or FP Backglass disabled to see all PuP-Pack layers
Option 4 – 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 5 – 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 6 – 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
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
https://vpinball.com/forums/topic/pinevent-dof-mx-pup-ssf-pupdmd-for-future-pinball/#post-171545
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:
Desktop (Single Screen – Fullscreen) and PUP-PACKS (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.

Awesome Terry!
Spent most of yesterday working on Future Pinball setup (as well as some hardware repairs)… was wondering why no DOF but i think because that table didn’t have it yet (Indy Stern)
Once base DOF is working, Pinevent is the priority, looking forward to trying this out!You need to login in order to like this post: click here

Great stuff Terry! Makes an already fun table even more fun. Love the Afterburner stuff you added and lighting is always top notch on the table and the MX. Physics seem pretty good too :)
Terry already did some great videos showing it off but here it is on my setup along with my first impressions. I couldn’t seem to get the smile off my face LOL.

SOLVED – I was using the wrong PinUpPlayer.ini and pupinit.bat files
Damn, I hate being the first one to chime in with a problem.
For starters, thank you so much TerryRed for all your hard work on this table and all the other tables you work on. I hope you have finally passed your Kstone.
Can’t wait to play this. Been keeping up with the videos and that spinning light effect looks amazing.
Here’s my problem . . .
I’m a single screen user (1920×1080) so I chose Option 6. The 2 screens are appearing on my main screen rather than my dummy screen.
I double checked my other Pinevent tables and they are working correctly where the screens appear on my second dummy screen.
I reran PinUpPlayerConfigDisplays.bat to double check the Game Select screen which is the one I assume controls where those screens go and it was set to Display # 1 which seems wrong but it did work for the other tables since the Screen positions were 1920 X, 0 Y (which positions it to my dummy screen to the right).
I tried setting it to screen 2, but that didn’t change anything. I also set it to screen 2 and forced the X and Y to 1920 and 0 but that didn’t change anything.
Lastly I set it to screen 2 (which was my screen 1) but I changed the X position to 500 (which slides it to the right a bit). I did this just to see if I was affecting those two screens. Nothing changed.
I then compared the screen values in the PinUpPackEditor to my other Pinevent tables to see if I accidentally chose the wrong option but they seemed fine. For example, the values were very similar to my Pinevent Halloween table.
Note I did run the other 3 pinevent tables right after doing all this and they were ok.
Is there some other program or bat file or something in the script I should be using to adjust the location of those 2 screens so I can manually move them to my dummy screen?
TIA

The only way that could happen is if you have a custom pinupplayer.ini file in the pup-pack folder that is forcing Game Select to always display on your main screen instead of your dummy plug. If you look at the pup-pack in the pup-pack editor, you’ll see it works the exact same as the others by using Game Select (pup display 6) as it’s CustomPos reference.
If in doubt. you could always try manually positioning Game Select on your monitor 2, then try copying pinupplayer.ini to the pup-pack folder and see if that forces it to work correctly for you.

if you have a custom pinupplayer.ini file in the pup-pack folder
That was my problem. Thank you (as always) for figuring out my stupid mistakes.
I get in the habit of always copying my set PinUpPlayer.ini and pupinit.bat files that I use for VPX tables. I forgot that I have a separate set for Pinevent tables.
Once I copied over my pinevent versions, the 2 screens moved to my dummy screen to the right.
However, the screens on the table didn’t display the two screens. They remained white with text saying what they were.
I then went into the F-14 script and changed:
usePinEvent_Custom_Settings = false
to TRUE
and then the 2 screens popped up on in the table screens.
I was able to set
usePinEvent_Custom_Settings
back to false and the fix remains so now it looks like this which is awesome:
And btw, I’ve got headphones on and this is the best sounding table I’ve heard yet.
Thanks again TerryRed!!!!

Hey Terry,
first of all thanks for sharing your (amazing) work.
I’m using Future Pinball with a two screens settings (Option 3 – Full DMD on Backglass) with BAM set up with a Kinect2 sensor.
I had to change screen 5 in screens.pup to ForceOn in order to see it, but that’s not a problem.
What I’d like to get rid of is the descriptions of the events I’m often getting (in form of description|code) as if I was in a sort of debug mode.
Is it possible? Should a video be triggered instead of the description I’m seeing?
Thank you!

Not sure what you mean by description….but my guess is you are seeing extra pupdmd code which indicates you are not updated to pup 1.45 (as mentioned in the PinEvent FAQ).
Also, you should not be changing anything in the pup-pack settings to be able to see everything properly(they are set the way they are for a reason). You should be disabling the Future Pinball Backglass (for PinEvent tables only) so that you will be able to properly see all layers of all PuP-Packs (not all tables are made the same way). All this is covered in the PinEvent install guide in the Future Pinball Backglass section (for how to disable the FP backglass) and the PuP-Pack Options section.

Recieving a pinball meditation error script error Line 1099 object not a collection. Not sure what this issue is. I have the other PinEvent tables working without issue Jaws, Halloween etc…
This table is no different than the other PinEvent tables for what is required. Be sure you have the latest BAM, PinEvent 1.4, and pup 1.45 installed. Make sure you completely close FP after exiting a table.
Also… depending on when you downloaded the other PinEvent tables and PuP-Packs, they may be out of date as they were all updated to support Pinevent 1.4, and had some more updates and features, etc.

which option to choose with a desktop with one monitor
Fullscreen and PUP Stream
For desktop single screen, I HIGHLY recommend connecting a spare output from your video card (not the motherboard) to a dummy monitor plug (they are cheap) or to a spare input of your TV / monitor to act as a dummy monitor plug. This will allow you to setup the pup “Game Select” screen on that dummy plug to display the pup-pack on there. You would use the “PUP Stream – Desktop” pup-pack Option (and PUP Stream enabled) to stream the pup-pack directly into FP itself, while still being able to run FP in FULLSCREEN which is highly recommended. This works very well for desktop users as shown in my demo video.
Forced Borderless Windowed
If you can’t use that option, then you must run FP in forced borderless windowed mode (as described in the FP and BAM Mega guide), which can run stutterry for some people, and you also need to force the pup-pack on top of the FP window (using “pup-packs on top”). This is not ideal and may not run well for you. If you can only use this option (due to lack of outputs on your video card), then you would need to setup your pup Backglass and FullDMD screens in the top corners of your desktop. then use pup-pack Option 2 “FullDMd, Backglass”. Make sure PUP Stream is disabled if using this.

Not sure what you mean by description….but my guess is you are seeing extra pupdmd code which indicates you are not updated to pup 1.45 (as mentioned in the PinEvent FAQ).
Also, you should not be changing anything in the pup-pack settings to be able to see everything properly(they are set the way they are for a reason). You should be disabling the Future Pinball Backglass (for PinEvent tables only) so that you will be able to properly see all layers of all PuP-Packs (not all tables are made the same way). All this is covered in the PinEvent install guide in the Future Pinball Backglass section (for how to disable the FP backglass) and the PuP-Pack Options section.
You were right, I thought I already had the latest version up and running but I was clearly wrong.
Everything now works as it’s supposed to.
Thanks again for your support and work!

My ball keeps getting stuck on me when I launch it. I attached a screen shot. Doesn’t happen in the actual slam version or other PinEvents I have.

Recieving a pinball meditation error script error Line 1099 object not a collection. Not sure what this issue is. I have the other PinEvent tables working without issue Jaws, Halloween etc…
Yep… Mine Guru’d as well. No issues with other PinEvent tables. I’ll check my versions of everything to be sure and report back.

For anyone having issues…be sure you have updated everything to the latest version:
- there is a newer version of BAM recently released (1.5-295)
- pinup player 1.45 (if using any pup features)
- dof R3++ (the latest version!) if using DOF
- PinEvent 1.4
- the newest version of each PinEvent table and pup-pack. Before F-14 was released, the other PinEvent tables and pup-packs were updated to work with PinEvent 1.4 and PUP Stream features.
- if using a Pup-pack, be sure you are using the correct pup-pack option for your setup…and be sure your pupdmddrivertype is correct for your setup and the pup-pack you are using
I just installed the newest BAM and everything is working fine.
Also be absolutely sure you completely close FP after exiting a table before reloading the same table or trying another table.
Some people need to run FPLoader.exe as administrator on their system for BAM to work correctly (due to their security admin settings on their system).
