What a great looking Balrog!! I was getting pretty used to the fuzzy, blocky one. Good job guys, looks excellent.

thx, the Balrog definitely looks better for sure but the frame animation is just a little off on it...but it's harder to notice in a cab though....we will probably fix that in a future update.

The animation has one chopy frame but the image is much better. I adjusted the flipper physics also so it is more accurate to the real table

It took me awhile to get the right angles (photos from my pin) on the Balrog for Scott. It turned out perfect Scott. You really did a lot of work and a great job on it.

just right click on the dmd and enable show frame. Then you can scale or rotate it however you want.

look in the hyperpin help file in the vp section. it will tell you the script entry to rotate the dmd. I don't remember it off hand. it goes in the table init

Stupid question .. I lost my sound on this Table completely, not the flippersound, neither ball sound or plunger .. only the music .. Table Volume is on max .. Play Music & Play Sounds is on max (in VP) ..
Already downloaded a 'fresh' copy of LOTR .. makes no difference ..other Tables don't have this problem.

Anyone out there to help me? ;)

Thanks,

Cheers,
FD.

EDIT: Also clearing the registry for LOTR didn't make any difference :(

probably a stupid question, but did u close and reopen vp?

I knew you could scale it, but i did not know you could rotate it ?
I always went into the script ? ror=1 rol=1 ?

Yep Iceman5000, I closed & reopened VP9 .. ;) no difference there.
Ace9567 .. I have a problem with the sound, not the DMD ;)

Cheers guys!
If anyone else would dare to throw up a suggestion or two .. thanks in advance!

Got the same issue after installing the UVP(!) backglass for LOTR!
Very strange! Have not yet tryed to go back to static though!

EDIT: I can confirm that that´s the case! Went back to "VPinMAME.Controller" and run with VP and HP --> got the sound back.
Can someone check whats up with the UVP... :(

Awesome stuff! - Many thanks..... Managed to kill almost 2 hours today when I should have been working on my cabinet :laugh:

UVP is turning off the samples option in Vpinmame, I believe.

Flying Dutchman

11-24-2009, 01:08 AM

I'll try and find out why bbastyr ..

Cheers,

Flying Dutchman

12-10-2009, 07:05 AM

bbastyr .. I found the reason and how to switch back on the sound.
It happened to me also with 'Believe It or Not FS Table (besides LOTR) and really anoyed me! ;)

This is what to look for:
.Games(cGameName).Settings.Value("sound") = 0

Change the value to '1' (without brackets ;) ) and you'll be fine again! :)

Cheers,
FD.

Hi,
Had the sound issue and now fixed, but when i load Hyperpin and start the table the DMD displays "looking for pinballs 19 - 18 - 17 and so on.
The table dosent load and on pressing esc i just get the backglass and dosent load back into Hyperpin.
This causes me to turn off my computer to load Hyperpin back again.
If i play the table in VP works fine, Backhglass Table and DMD all display perfect no lag or sound issues.
What is going wrong?

14.07pm - Updated the Backglass to fantasy and same issue??

Cheers

Hello,
Make sure HD Render is ticked in table options or if your graphics card is overclocked set it back to default setting.
That should work fine - worked for me with choppy sound issues.
Cheers

Hi Adrian,

sorry, i did not respond earlier, but i just saw your reply. I will check the HD render option tonight.
The graphics card is not overclocked as far as i know (where could I check this ?)

Regards

Jack
