[?ROM?] variable – pinup 1.4

[h0pp4z]

Hi,

I like to use the [?ROM?] variable for launch and close script of vpx files.

launch:

START "" "[STARTDIR]Launch\VPXSTARTER.exe" 10 10 60
cd "[DIREMU]"

if "[ALTMODE]"=="video" (
move "[DIRGAME]\[GAMENAME].directb2s" "[DIRGAME]\[GAMENAME].directb2s.orig" /Y
timeout /T 1
IF EXIST "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?].video\screens.pup" (
move "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]" "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]-novideo"
timeout /T 1
move "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?].video" "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]"
timeout /T 1
)
)

START /min "" vpinballx.exe "[DIREMU]" -play "[GAMEFULLNAME]"

Close:
"[STARTDIR]LAUNCH\PUPCLOSER.EXE" WINTIT "Visual Pinball" 10 1

if "[ALTMODE]"=="video" (
move "[DIRGAME]\[GAMENAME].directb2s" "[DIRGAME]\[GAMENAME].directb2s.orig" /Y
timeout /T 1
IF EXIST "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]\screens.pup" (
move ""D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]" "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?].video" /Y
timeout /T 1
move "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?].novideo" "D:\PinUPSystem\PUPVideos\[?ROM?]" /Y
timeout /T 1
)
)

I’ve checked the curclose and curlauch scripts but the [?ROM?] field stays empty.

Any ideas?

do you have the ROM field set to the rom on the game you’re running in Popper Games Manager?

also, i’ve updated a few documents on what you’re trying to do if you want to try another method:

If I am running from editor and I exit table but doing script adjustments I would close off pak in toolbar before 1.4 from option menu to keep editing table without saving and without reloading vp. Now when I do this I get the pointer error. Nothing to do with frontends. I actually came up with a great way to solve that by moving pup plugin folder on start and exit of tables so that’s all working perfect

it is ‘normal’/bug/issue that once you load a game in vpx editor and exit game…. that vpinmame/freezy dlls are NOT unloaded, so that is what keeps the pup connection still open while back in editor.  you can’t ‘kill/close’ manually as that will leave things unstable in pup.

one thing you could do.  when working with a table a lot.  keep on vpx editor open for editing and saving..>BUT don’t run the game in taht editor.  make a desktop shortcut that launches that vpx directly to test your changes…and close that vpx direct launch when done ‘playing’.

 

btw:  i think you meant to post your response in a different thread :)

I was not aware of the ROM field…

By the way… Does’nt it make sense to “disable” the b2s-file while using the puppack?

 

Thank you!
