vpx VR-Launcher

[b4sti]

https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/vpx-vr-launcher/

This is a loader for VPinballX_GL.EXE. With the included vpx-vrlauncher.exe and vpx-vrlauncher.vpx it’s now possible to switch tables with plunger and flipper keys. Now you can stay at your cabinet playing and switching tables without the need of VR-controls. If you exit a table, the table-selection will be shown again.

Best results (fast loading speeds, many capturing improvements) with the newest vpvr 10.6 beta of Caligula, DJRobX and Rawnei! You can find it here.

Default cabinet-keys (adjustable in the launcher):

• LeftFlipperKey: previous table
• RightFlipperKey: next table
• plunger: start selected table
• LeftMagnasave: previous column
• RightMagnasave: next column
• PlungerKey: load&start table
• AddCreditKey: open filter menu (hold key, then toggle with left/right)

If you want the default keys (shown above) leave this at “default” or “reverse” (without quotes). If you want to setup your own decimal key codes you can get them from vpx registry or with my debugkeys option. You can also use vpx key constants like:

LeftFlipperKey, RightFlipperKey, LeftMagnasave, RightMagnasave, StartGameKey, AddCreditKey, AddCreditKey2, PlungerKey, LeftTiltKey, RightTiltKey, CenterTiltKey, MechanicalTilt

Since v.3.00 you can setup your own filters and toggle them with a free configurable key (default = AddCreditKey). Empty filters are disabled. You can use comma-separated values for each filter. Optional you can name each filter. For this you start with filtername:filter

An Example – If you want to make an 80s filter:

80s: 1980,1981,1982,1983,1984,1985,1986,1987,1988,1989

N E W

Favourites: SelectMode-Key toggles:

• 1st press: Select favourites ON: Select fav with left/right and confirm with startKey.
• 2nd press: Save selected table as favourite: Change target-slot with let/right and confirm with startKey.
• 3rd press: Select favourites OFF

Hint: You can leave the SelectMode-Key empty to disable the new favourites-feature.

Tip: If you want to setup something at the launcher, you should disable the option “hold vpx_gl on top”, because you want vrlauncher on top, if you must setup things. If you’ve finished your setup, you should reactivate “hold vpx_gl on top”.

Thanks to senseless, arvid and rawd for their support!
Thanks to the community for making vpx a great VR experience!

I’m having issues getting this to run! Running as admin in my VP folder root as the instructions ask but I keep getting the error below:

Unfortunate because this looks amazing and I’d love to get it working!

It looks like you don’t have the “VPinballX_GL.exe” in the same directory.

Swapped the file name on the 64 bit version to that and it’s loading fine now, thank you! Still having an issue where it’s not seeing a table (T2) I’ve tested in my library. The tables exist with roms and are running fine in VPinballX otherwise. Looks like it exists in the array as well.

EDIT: Added Terminator to the positive keywords in the array and it got picked up. How would I go about adding art to the small model for the game? It’s missing the playfield.

Thanks for the continued upgrades!

Have you considered modifying the view without the Jukebox and only the spinning pin? To make the whole back wall the border for the back glass icons? Allowing them to be viewed more clearly when you have allot of tables loaded in your VRVP directory. If it’s not to much additional work..

Now i got your wish. You mean the view without the cabinet. Good idea! I’ll change it in 2.0.

why would you put the vpx file in the Visual Pinball directory?  Don’t you think it should go into the Tables directory?  Thanks working with this today for the first time.  Having some issues but I’m sure I will figure it out.   Thanks

OK, got further, but why would you store the tables in the VPX script?  Don’t you think it would be better to use PinballX style xml files?  Do you want me to modify the script to do that?  I might make my DBMS output your format, not sure which will be quicker :)

Thanks
