understanding LTD Vbs doc and keys

[Tom]

I am trying to play Columbia LTD and there are a couple Taito tables that use button 4 and 5 for coin in.  I have mune on the cab set to 3.  I went into the LTD Vbs doc and this is what it has:

‘————————-
‘ LTD System 4 Data
‘————————-
‘ Cabinet switches
Const swSelfTest = 9
Const swTilt = 18
Const swCoin3 = 13
Const swCoin2 = 14
Const swStartButton = 17
Const swEnter = 10

Const swLRFlip = 82
Const swLLFlip = 84

Coin 2 and 3 is 13 and 14.  What are the 13 and 14??  it is assigning it to button 4&5.  if i change it to 12 then it uses button 5.  In the VPM keys VBS it says:

‘Key codes that can be used in the mappings below:

‘2   3     L SHIFT    42
‘3   4     L WIN     219
‘4   5    M        50
‘5   6    MINUS      12
‘6 7 MULTIPLY 55

 

which i am aware of for using in the script.  can someone help me understand the LTD vbs?

this are rom IDs do not change them

‘————————-
‘ LTD System 4 Data
‘————————-
‘ Cabinet switches
Const swSelfTest = 9
Const swTilt = 18
Const swCoin3 = 13
Const swCoin2 = 14
Const swStartButton = 17
Const swEnter = 10

Const swLRFlip = 82
Const swLLFlip = 84

 

keyInsertCoin#  are the variables used for key mapping  in your VPMkeys

keyInsertCoin1 = 4 ‘(3) Insert coin in slot 1
keyInsertCoin2 = 5 ‘(4) Insert coin in slot 2
keyInsertCoin3 = 6 ‘(5) Insert coin in slot 3
keyInsertCoin4 = 7 ‘(6) Insert coin in slot 4

 

 

the variable keyInsertCoin#   are are called by each manufactures  VBS files with the lines

Case keyInsertCoin2 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin2′” : Playsound SCoin
Case keyInsertCoin3 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin3′” : Playsound SCoin

 

the LTD.vbs is only calling   Coin Slot 2  and Coin Slot 3

you can either modify the LTD.vbs so it calls all four   Coin Slots  (with Coin Slot 1 being mapped to keyboard key 3)

Case keyInsertCoin2 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin2′” : Playsound SCoin
Case keyInsertCoin3 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin3′” : Playsound SCoin

Case keyInsertCoin1 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin2′” : Playsound SCoin
Case keyInsertCoin4 vpmTimer.AddTimer 750,”vpmTimer.PulseSw swCoin3′” : Playsound SCoin

or you can modify your VPMkeys.vbs so that    Coin Slot 2 or Coin Slot 3   use the 3 key

keyInsertCoin1 = 4 ‘(3) Insert coin in slot 1
keyInsertCoin2 = 4 ‘(3) Insert coin in slot 2
keyInsertCoin3 = 4 ‘(3) Insert coin in slot 3
keyInsertCoin4 = 7 ‘(6) Insert coin in slot 4

 

the Hankin.vbs and the Gottlieb.vbs files where fixed a few years ago with option A.

So that the 5  key would work by default.

Ahh thanks @32assassin.  I should have caught that.  I was running on very low fuel last night. Thankfully I didn’t change anything when I was too tired
