UVP Problem

[orlandoi]

After the changes:

ex. with the table Medival Madness from JPSalas allready installed... You have to have a proper install of Visual Pinball AND HyperPin (needs the database file from HP) for UVP server to work!!

It may be configured in other ways, but I found it most simple to rename ALL related files to the same name (expet the extensions uvp, vpl and png )

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

01. Copy UltraVPServer.exe to ...\HyperPin\

02. Create a empty folder 'UltraVP' in ....\HyperPin\ (should be \HyperPin\UltarVP\ )

03. Run Visual Pinball and open the Medival Madness table. Edit->Script

replace the line

Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")

With...

Set Controller = CreateObject("UltraVP.BackglassServ")

[Close] and File->Save

04. Copy 'UVP Medieval Madness.uvp' to C:\Pinball\HyperPin\UltraVP\

05. rename UVP Medieval Madness.uvp -> Medieval Madness (Williams 1997).uvp (UVPServer file)
rename MM_VP9_1.0_FS.vpl -> Medieval Madness (Williams 1997).vpl (table)
rename UVP Medieval Madness.png -> Medieval Madness (Williams 1997).png (backglass image)

06. Copy 'Medieval Madness (Williams 1997).png' to C:\Pinball\HyperPin\Media\Visual Pinball\Backglass Images\

07. Now edit 'Visual Pinball.xml' (database file in HyperPin\Databases\Visual Pinball\) with this scritp.

<game name="Medieval Madness (Williams 1997)">
<description>Medieval Madness (Williams 1997)</description>
<manufacturer>Williams</manufacturer>
<year>1997</year>
<type>SS</type>
</game>

[Close] and File->Save

08. Run UltraVPServer.exe once first (run as admin in vista/win7) and close it to set it up. Then Start the table via Visual Pinball or HyperPin!

The screen of ultravp server appears again on the playfield.

Anybody can help me? 3 hours trying and nothing. TKS.

I run in the HP, the dmd appears in your place, but the backglass stay static, (no animation).
Excuse me for nob question: It´s works whith XP SP3?
Where are i Have run the UltraVPServer first time?TKS

Orlandoi,

Most common mistakes are made in the Visual Pinball.xml file. The names should be consistent (so keep .png, .uvp and Table name all the same for convenience).

I can send you a little 'tutorial' on UVP I did last year.
Please let me know yr email address while the file seems to be too big to attach ..

Hope this helps ..

Cheers,
FD.

I have the same problem. I was trying Spider-Man from here.
I did not rename the files, left it as they were. Then the
database entry written in the readme. HP shows the
backglass and the table image. Butwhen launching, the
DMD is on the playfield and the UltraVP server is visible.
I have
c:\Programme\Visual Pinball
c:\Programme\HyperPin
and UltraVPServer.exe and the UltraVP folder inside
HyperPin. The uvp file for Spider-Man is inside UltraVP.
I have started the server and closed it again.
Must I start and close it every time I boot windoze?
When starting via Visual Pinball, only the server window
appears.
I tried the folder c:\HyperPin, but no success.
I think, I have tried everything I found in the boards
to solve this problem. Nothing helped.

You MUST move:

c:\Programme\HyperPin to C:\HyperPin

No, you don't have to run the program each time you boot windows.

Make sure ALL filenames and XML are identical (including all artwork).

Make sure you have no "&" symbols ANYWHERE in your xml.

The DMD should not be on the playfield for this table ever. Make sure you are running the proper DMD version of Spiderman.

Maybe try a different table first. I have made this ALI package with the table scripting already done and everything ready to go...

I have tried your Ali package. It was the only entry in the xml.
I have the following paths:
c:\Programme\Visual Pinball
c:\HyperPin
c:\HyperPin/UltraVP
c:\HyperPin\UltraVPServer.exe
c:\HyperPin/Media (as it ever was in HP)
I launched and closed the server again.
Still the same.

C:\Hyperpin
C:\Hyperpin\UltraVP
C:\Hyperpin\UltraVPserver.exe

Check Data and media files for the " & " symbol and erase

I got it!
I uninstalles HP and installed again to c:\HyperPin,
instead of just moving the folder to c:\HyperPin.
Vefore reinstalling I deleted all registry entries for HP and UVP.

Thank you guys!
