ninuzzu has left the scene but personally granted me permission for me to update and post "P-ROC_Offline_Installer-v3.4.zip" as I host some of the game assets on my Dropbox. I say go ahead and make the change and share it publicly so that everyone can get the game working again. Thanks for figuring out the install issues!
Thanks Carny.
As I mentioned in my previous post : The following installer works installs P-roc in the folder c:\Pinball\P-roc (including Pytoin and all dependencies)
I have 2 versions :
- Fully offline . In ninuzzu his installer, it still downloads some files from his GitHub.Fully offline (442 MB)
Preferable download if your cabinet is NOT internet connected !
- Mostly offline. Like ninuzzu his installer, it downloads a part from GitHub Almost Full Installer (106 MB)
Use this installer if you don't want CCC to be installed
The 2nd file will download the 300MB missing from my forked Github which download a modified config.yaml with the modified paths.
And will download the rest of the files needed for CCC
Installation :
- Download 1 of the 2 zip files (P-ROC_Offline_Installer-v3.4_Mike customizedv2_CompleteOffline.zip or P-ROC_Offline_Installer-v3.4_Mike customizedv2.zip)
- Unzip the downloaded zip file to a folder
- Double click "STEP 1 - Install Prerequisites.bat"
- if you got a security warning that this file could not be verified click Run. (This popup can come twice)
- If you receive an UAC prompt , click YES
Step 1 should be finished when "Press any key to continue . . . " is showed and no errors are showed on the screen
- Double click "STEP 2 - Install PROC.bat"
Same as Step 1 :
- if you got a security warning that this file could not be verified click Run. (This popup can come twice)
- If you receive an UAC prompt , click YES
After everything is installed (a message should appears : " P-ROC is working . Enjoy!!"
This is a Python test and tries to test by importing all components that er needed for P-ROC to work
Only continue when this is correct
- Optional is to run "Install CCC.bat"
As this will not need an administrative account to run, it can show just once the security warning that this file could not be verified
this will not install the VPX table, but the components in P-ROC to play the modified Cactus Canyon table (which will become 'Continued')
After this, I was able to launch CCC on VPX 10.8 (only 10.8 doesn't work correct)
If you have a full 10.8 running, you can easily add 10.7.4 next to it. Download from
Github VPX 0.7.4 Release the
VPinballX74_Minimal.zip
Extract this zip for example in c:\pinball\Visual Pinball 10.7.4
From this folder launch the VPinballX.exe This is the 10.7.4 executable and uses the controller.vbs from 10.7.4 which is still working for CCC (this is not adjusted for VLM)
I tested all of this on my new machine this morning.
Creating the above screenshots while I downloaded and installed p-roc and same for VPX 10.7.4
Some fixes to help :
- If you got any issues, try to use the Uninstall.bat that comes with the P-ROC ZIP file.
- Another thing that could cause the issue, is the system environment variable for path.
I know from work related issues that if this path gets too long, it could cause issues (especially with Python)
Open the
system properties on your machine by searching on
System environment variables
In the system properties open the Environment variables :
click under User variables the
Path and click
Edit
a my system has just a clean install of Windows, my path is not too long, but if you got issues with running python, try to move
MiniGW, Cmake, Python27\scripts and
Python27 more up wards
- A 3rd option would be to exclude P-ROC from your antivirus program (and Windows defender)
If you got any other issue, I'm sorry, but not able to help you.
I create this for personal usage years ago, but many people asked me in the they years to have a copy of it.
during the last post a couple of weeks ago, I polished the setup that it would run on my laptop which had never P-roc.
The same install I used to install today on my new PC.
I hope this will help
VR users, hold off until the 10.8.1 release.
Actually, you can replicate what was done with 10.7.4. Download the minimal 10.8 version and place it in a separate folder
Visual Pinball 10.8 VR. Be sure to download the 64-bit GL version! Then, copy the controller.vbs file from the 10.7.4 scripts directory and overwrite the controller.vbs file in the scripts directory of the newly created
Visual Pinball 10.8 VR folder.
Use this method only for P-ROC, as the latest VPW-released games might not work correctly otherwise!
