Nice and simple . Can you build in a screen capture button ? Maybe with a choice to just grab screen 1or 2 or 3

Also during setup are we putting the path to where we want them saved

I read here screen shots are auto generated

Or is there a keyboard set of key we are supposed to click when game table is running

Thanks in advance

When you are in game press "stamp" key on your keyboard. When you exit from table FPRocket recognize that there is an image in clipboard and it save and use it as screenshot of the table selected.

I really like this simple frontend, it's exactly what I was looking for. I got it working ok, but the settings never seem to save when I exit and restart. I'm running it as Admin Windows 10. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong please?

INI file are located in the same directory of executable.

My FP Rocket .exe is at the desktop and so is the .ini but despite that, I have to go through the setup every time I start the FP Rocket.
Win 11.
The very latest VPX in use.

Try to move executable to another directory and use link to desktop.

having similar issues as everyone else it seems like, on windows 11. no matter what folder i put it in, it generates the ini file and saves my settings correctly, but next time i start the program up it seems like it blanks the ini back out to defaults again. if this could be figured out it'd be perfect. have tried admin, compatibility modes, etc and all the same

oh and if i could disable the startup sound haha

This is exactly what's happening to me on Windows 10.

INI file are located in the same directory of executable.

It keeps wiping the INI back to default. I even tested by copying the INI with the completed settings aside, and copying it back over after the software wiped the original, so started it with a perfectly complete INI, but it still loaded up blank. And then naturally, after restarting, that INI was back to default again too.

experimented with this a little bit more, if i attrib +r +s the vprocket.ini file to set it to readonly+system, it no longer gets overwritten with blank entries when starting the application. BUT, the application still comes up with no settings. it seems like the app is attempting to read from a different file than what its writing to or just always assuming a blank file or something something

Do you have TableFont.ttf in same directory? The keyhook ALT+w work correctly? If you try to delete TableFont.ttf it reappear after a new start?

Immediate exit from program even during game.

Now thats awesome, big thanks @Jeebo

I don't use a front end but that is not a bad rear end.

 

[Eduardolicious]

so anyone got any new ideas? im stumped lol

Yeah same here, it just refuses to save any settings for me. I literally just want to attach a custom photo to a file and run it with an .exe command line. Must be software that can do that, no idea what though!

Now thats awesome, big thanks @Jeebo

Deserves a repeat.

 

[Eduardolicious]
