update score to post #51

Ok first up, well I couldn't find a desktop version and I just have to play the latest and it does look amazing, no easy beat to be sure, hi score is on the sticky note right side of the apron..using VP9.9 with my GTX660 nvidia settings to the max, that's an 85% .jpg compressed screenshot btw. :)

Yeah, I could only find one table for download and I can't get it working, says it can't open core.vbs (the download came with a new core.vbs but both give the same error).

 

I started playing Medieval Madness instead :confused:

[Jed]

Hmmmm....I didn't realise there wasn't a desktop version of this table available :(

 

Unless we can find a solution, I might have to generate a new table selection. I do know these are able to be converted to desktop as that's what @Dedrok seems to do sometimes ?

 

Let's see what turns up over the next day or so :)

[StevOz]

OK getting there though this might take more then a week or two to complete...

pic updated I think I have the settings nailed though and it plays the same just the backglass/plunger and that sticky note HS, which will be the tricky bits..

[StevOz]

OK here's the quick and dirty mod runs in VP9.9 here fine, needs work though plays just fine, that B2S may pop up, just click escape then continue, hope this google drive crap works for yah..

[MrBungle]

Oops, sorry about this team! Nominating a non desktop table, who would have thought?

 

As the nominate, I don't mind a redraw? But that might undo some fine work going on behind the scene?

here's my real one in action..does that count? ;)

 

[MrMaloo]

OK guys . I'm fairly new to all this virtual pinball stuff so may need some help here .

@StevOz I downloaded the file from your link , extracted the table file and saved it in my Virtual Pinball / tables folder .

 

When I start it up the actual table seems to load OK but when I click on the Table / Play tab instead of it loading and starting the game I get this error message :

 

[ATTACH=CONFIG]68470[/ATTACH]

 

Any tips on what I'm doing wrong or what I need to fix .

 

Also is there a ROM to download for this table ?

[Dedrok]

You dont need a rom and change B2S BG to False

 

 

JungleQueen desktop mod (using 9.90a)

Make sure that "JungleQueen_B2S.exe" in your Tables folder is set to run with administrator privileges.

The cabinet version is just so nice ! Both looks and plays great, and the backglass also a gem.

 

Pretty pi**-poor score, but early days...

 

I might have a go of the desktop version too just for fun, and to compare scoring.

I miss the 46" BG of the cab ..... this would look so nice

[MrMaloo]

OK sorry to be a pain guys .

@Dedrok I changed that setting to False .

 

Get the table to load and play , however it doesn't register any score in the tab thingys off to the side .

 

After 3 balls ( is this meant to be a 3 ball or 5 ball game ?? I'm assuming default is 3 ) I get this screen :

:unsure

Default settings should be 3 balls. Sorry, I should state that in the first post, I will do from now on..

 

That is an error I've not seen before. Hopefully @StevOz might have an idea ?

My Dredded cab is 2x40", but 2x46" would be insane :) I am thinking of using a 46" for the backglass, just to get the proportions looking better, I still have a little room left to play with.

[Dedrok]

Have no idea.

 

Just checked mine and it is 3 ball. Does it do that every game?

This is a windows permission error you must have VP set to run as admin, right click the VP.exe and set to run as admin.

 

Yes it is set to run at 3 balls by default, though the error you get is a windows permission error and occurs because it is trying to save the score to a file.

[MrMaloo]

Thanks for your help guys . Got it sorted .

 

One thing though - does everyone else's not show a score at all until the game is over ?

 

Just had a few quick ones to confirm it works :

Info here...

 

Steps to install and run the Active backglass.

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

- This application requires that .NET Framework 4 is installed on the computer.

If it is not installed, it can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=0a391abd-25c1-4fc0-919f-b21f31ab88b7&displaylang=en

 

- Copy the files Tablename.vpt, Tablename.exe, ScreenRes and b2s.vbs to your Tables folder.

 

- Enter the resolution of your screens into the ScreenRes.txt in the following format:

X-resolution of the Playfield display. (must be the same as in VP/Preferences/Video Options)

Y-resolution of the Playfield display. (must be the same as in VP/Preferences/Video Options)

X-Size of the backglass display.

Y-Size of the backglass display.

Display number (1 - 3). The screen that you want the backglass to be displayed on.

X-Position of the backglass display.

Y-Position of the backglass display.

 

You can now start the backglass.exe by double clicking on it.

Start the table as usual from vp.

 

If you do not want the backglass to be started automatically, edit the table script and change the line:

 

LaunchBackGlass "backglass_name",true --> LaunchBackGlass "backglass_name",false

 

End result..

new score

[Jed]

Thanks again StevOz - great stuff converting this on the fly for the desktop players.

 

Scores updated in first post.

[matty_g_8]

quick game last night

 

131,720 using 9.90a

 

[Jed]

I had a crack of the desktop table last night just to compare against full screen play. Had about 3-4 games and did worse on the desktop version ! Just couldn't cope with nudging on a keyboard at all. Fingers felt like unco claws trying to hit the nudge key.

 

Wonder if anyone can roll this..

once you go cab you can never go back!
