Error Message: Unable to open Bally.vbs.

[rodripeces]

It´s impossible for me to play any VPT using VP9.1.1.exe, for example, "Medusa VPT" or " Lightning VPT" ( Bally and Stern problems ) cause when I try to run it appears the message
"Unable to open Bally.vbs. - in the case of Medusa - Ensure that it is in the same folder as this table. Variable not defined"
I tried to resolve it ( the instruction to resolve the problem appears in the vbsdoc.html, that appears in the same
package with all the scripts files in the Table folder when I´ve download the Visual Install Package ) writting the following code on the top of the script:
Note = This code must to be written in the top of "Medusa VBScript or another one" ?; is this the right way?

'Load VPinMAME and *.VBS file, check versions ( I put the sign (') at the beginning of this line of code to override what is written on the line ( also, please tell me if "Load" is an instruction of the source code - I think that "Load" isn´t an instruction or command - ))
'LoadVPM "02000000", "S11.VBS", 2.4 ( I think the same that I ´ve already written in the previous line )
Sub LoadVPM(VPMver, VBSfile, VBSver)
On Error Resume Next
If ScriptEngineMajorVersion < 5 Then MsgBox "VB Script Engine 5.0 or higher required"
ExecuteGlobal GetTextFile(VBSfile, 1).ReadAll
If Err Then MsgBox "Unable to open " & VBSfile & ". Ensure that it is in the same folder as this table. " & vbNewLine & Err.Description
Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")
If Err Then MsgBox "Can't Load VPinMAME." & vbNewLine & Err.Description
If VPMver>"" Then If Controller.Version < VPMver Or Err Then MsgBox "VPinMAME ver " & VPMver & " required."
If VPinMAMEDriverVer < VBSver Or Err Then MsgBox VBSFile & " ver " & VBSver & " or higher required."
On Error Goto 0
End Sub
' (((( After all these lines of code starts the source code of "Medusa" (for example) ))))
.......... BUT STILL I CANNOT RUN ANY VPT FOR VP9.1.1 !!!!

Rename the copies of tables that you've added scripting to (to save them so they do not interfere) and Unzip new copies of those tables.

This is because the lines like LoadVPM "02000000", "S11.VBS", 2.4 are necessary. You shouldn't need to rewrite any lines.

I'm guessing you are trying to play a table that was designed for Visual Pinball 8 on a Visual Pinball 9+, so try a fresh copy of Medusa and download Visual Pinball (VPinball8.1.exe) from the download section and try the table with version 8.1.

There were changes made to Visual Pinball 9 that are not compatible with earlier table versions and visa-versa. Makes life interesting, doesn't it?

Note that when you download the VPinball8.1.exe, as long as you have either the V.I.P. kit or (a full installation of Visual Pinball, and VPinMame and the vbs scripts Unzipped to the Tables folder), it should work. Also, look in the installed VIP folder for VPinball8.1.exe, usually C:\Pinball\... I think the author Phoenixx put both versions of Visual Pinball.exe in the VIP installation, so version 8.1 might already be in the installation folder. Try a fresh copy of Medusa (with no script changes) using/opening VPinball8.1.exe

Get back here if it doesn't work. :)
