*** SOLVED THIS *** I ran the table and then pressed Escape on the window that showed up and it brought me through to the setup window (that allows you to position the Topper/DMD/Playfield etc). So I made sure they were visible and resized the correct window for the pup pack and moved things around etc. and then saved the settings and it works a treat! Happy bunny!


I've downloaded the latest version of this table from Virtual Pinball Workshop - it looks amazing but I have an issue.

I ran the "desktop" bat file in the puppack which copied in my screens.pup

There is an image bundled with it that shows it should look like this:

With a static image at the top left and a pup pack on the top right.

However, for some reason my pup pack has gone on to my second screen (my marquee screen on my cab) and looks like this:

IMG_20240803_165759.jpg

So I have the static image on the top right and the pup pack video on the other display?

My screens.pup has this code:
Code:
ScreenNum,ScreenDes,PlayList,PlayFile,Loopit,Active,Priority,CustomPos
0,Topper,,,0,ForceBack,,
2,Backglass,Backglass,Trans3ScreenLE.png,0,ForceBack,,
4,Music,,,0,MusicOnly,,
5,FullDMD,,,0,ForceBack,,
11,pOverVid,,,0,ForcePopBack,,"5,0,0,100,100"
12,Overlays,,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"
13,SongSelection,,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"
14,Callouts,,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"
15,Transparent,,,0,ForceBack,,"5,0,0,100,100"
16,"Tomb Treasures",,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"
17,REVIVE,,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"
18,"Match Free Game",,,0,show,,"5,0,0,100,100"

If I run the "Option 4 - 2 Screen 5x4.bat" then I get this:

This is a LOT better but I would still like it more like the first photo with a bigger pup pack video if possible?

The screens.pup for this option reads:

Code:
ScreenNum,ScreenDes,PlayList,PlayFile,Loopit,Active,Priority,CustomPos
0,Topper,,,0,ForceBack,,
2,Backglass,Backglass,Trans5x4.png,0,ForceBack,,
4,Music,,,0,MusicOnly,,
5,FullDMD,,,0,ForceBack,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
11,pOverVid,,,0,ForcePopBack,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
12,Overlays,,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
13,SongSelection,,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
14,Callouts,,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
15,Transparent,,,0,ForceBack,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
16,"Tomb Treasures",,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
17,REVIVE,,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"
18,"Match Free Game",,,0,show,,"2,16.4,51.5,67.2,46.3"

And I can't seem to work out the relationship between the numbers / settings here and the size and position of the video part of the pup pack?

I have the table script set like this:
Code:
Option Explicit
SetLocale 1033                    ' Force US format so math works out

Const                 TableName = "IM_LOTB"


I would love some pointers on this ?

1) What am I doing wrong that's preventing my "desktop.bat" settings looking like the predicted image that they include?
2) Any tutorial on what the numbers/settings in screen.pup mean (in the interest of "teach a man to fish" and all that) ?

I'm very new to all this so please don't assume any knowledge on my part - I'm confident messing with scripts etc but still finding my way with VPX and FP.

Many thanks
Can anyone help either tell me what to check with
