Yeap. :)

Does seem to happen doesn't it? Sometimes, a update seems half done, but it's never finished, or there is something "missing" which I will point out soon. This is the problem with Pinbuilder in general, when you make things too complicated, things screw up real easily with even the slightest change.

Nope. Was gonna be Star Destroyer because that was the name of the table in Pinbuilder, but not so sure now as it really doesn't look like firepower at all now really. Still does bare a resembance though as I kept the major design elements in there. I don't want to call it Firepower 3 or Star Destroyer 3 because of that, but maybe a variation of the name, keep the space theme with the space fighters. hmm... Fire Storm?

Wow, I remember Pinball Dreams.... Glad you are finding this useful, there's lots of little tricks I use. After I finish what I have with the new layout, I will show how I did it the way I did it, and it's very useful for a lot of things. Of course, it's hockey day for me, so may be a while. I have a upload still to do before that though, should be up tonight sometime.

Thanks. I knew there had to be some way, but boy, that does sound cumbersome, if not slightly unuseable. If a object is attached to a group, can you still move that object by it's self? I will stick with FP anyway, I recorded episode 3 and 2 will be up soon. Am in the editor right now, and cooking up... something, so ep4 could be really spectacular if I can get it right...

Your right. Forgot to mention that, but then it's like coding. I'm returning after 6 months, and the dev hasn't been very good at updating all the new key codes in the program. At the very least, update the manual. I saw her video yesterday, and she mentioned 2 keys I never knew existed.

@@paulsanderson2998 Yes, the manual should be a priority. I can imagine how lost somebody must be while trying to get the hang of it without a proper documentation.

Not sure yet. I'm kind of wondering if PinBuilder is worth the time and effort it takes. I may decide to do some videos, but end up just getting fustrated with the rather limited tools and quiting. This program is just not that good, and really needs a rethink with certain things.

No. I'm still having problems with even getting it to work with file locations, and there are still too many limitations with building a playfield. The oversized apron for one, and the lack of being able to shape the walls because you can't add control points. The big thing is the lack of optimization of the program itself, it's just too slow, even at 1080p with all settings at their lowest. With a 2070 super, to boot. It's the only program I have that is unplayable, and I have triple a games like Dyson Sphere and city skylines that have 1000's of moving objects in 4 k with higher settings that are still getting double the frame rates. Very disappointing for a commercial program, so I would say just use the fp version I released.

did you tell them what you need?@@paulsanderson2998

Well, I'm a old guy so I forgot about the charger. :) I did add one later, actually added 4. Early game, and I play the long game, so I figured in sandbox to take it nice and slow, that I would use the ore detector only if I had problems finding it with my drones. At one point, I did do several scans to try and find things, but that was off camera. Ran out of energy of course...

Thanks. It was a brain cramp, and there was a lack of knowledge at the time. If you see the series on the sandbox mode, you will see it was the proper way. In the last episode for that, I was building a super factory, but the game was a time released demo so I never got to the next episode.

Actually, I moved my resources right next to my buildings with the problem, and it still happened. There's a large list of bugs in the forums, and this was noted as well. Once more fixes are in place, I will try it in sandbox mode, but even then, the game should be able to handle a standard grid layout. Other resources, like the good food, are over on the other side of the map, and are distributed fine, so computers, which are a lot closer, should as well. But it doesn't...

They are actually bugged at the moment on my game. As you will see shortly, my distribution problems is also a known bug, so I have to wait till the dev actually fixes it so I can continue on with the game. In the meanwhile, I will do videos on another game, as I can not procede with Infraspace till those bugs are fixed. The next couple videos I have yet to upload (busy) but you will see what the problem is pretty quickly now you know about the bugs

Thanks a lot!

Instructions? Simple... Shoot everything that lights up. :) Instructions link for setting up FP is in the description.

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you! Will do!

shivaMonster? My webvsite at PN is down, but will be fixed soon, so it will be there.

Well, ones commercial, and ones not.

Pinbuilder and several other steam games had to move theirs. It's strange, I seem to remember that it is very erratic maybe I will dip in the steam folder and see if it's a permission problem but it couldn't be that easy???. The thing is I can save it once, (sometimes) but not overwrite the file with a new save.

Cool. I did post about the save issue with steam. The live stream was me just goofy around and showing off shot lines from the flippers. Keep up the good work.

Okay quickly... Didn't see that key. whoops. In my defense, not use to having to press a key to do things. In FP/VP, it's a right click and a menu at the cursor. As to rotate. A lot more fine tuning. The mouse wheel seems to lack fine control, it is very hit and miss. I kind of would like a field in the new logic box you just added to rotate controls. 0 to 360 (clockwise)or -0 to -360 counterclockwise. Save I tried again. It did save from one of the sample tables when you called it up, but then stopped working again afterwards. It may be a silly suggestion, but it looked like the save button wasn't working. It overwrite a save file once, even asked me if I wanted to, but then just clicking the save button did nothing afterwards. Hope you understand all of this.

Okay, see if I can find that. Just to note. I've played a little bit in the editor, found quite a few things, so a new video will show all of the things I have noticed, so get ready... :)

@@paulsanderson2998 Looking forward to it! And I think you'll be pleased with some things I add in with the next update. Give it a week though.

@@SinomodStudios Will do. There's a live stream I just put up as well. Bit long, but there appears to be a save problem. I lost the game I built, and after closing the stream, I remembered that Steam does have read/write problems if you use the main stream folder. Most apps I have instead use the user/appdata folders instead, so that would be my first recommendation, to have that in place for our tables/custom images/sounds etc. Uploading ep06, which I did before the live stream, which details all the things I found as well.

Great. Yeah. The delete thing is a bit less confusing after you explained it, but kind of did throw me. Single method is the best. Glad I came up with some stuff. I have a history of seeing things that are a bit different than other people, so glad to help.

Documentation... hmm I really hated that part With me I did several sections (I used HelpnDoc BTW) but I has a Introduction guide, about fpxengine, about me, and a brief section to getting started and playing a game. My second section was a beginners guide, I did that as a hand hold as it introduced the very basic coding aspect to people who have never coded before, but also used it as a way to explain the feature set of the engine, like extra balls, bonus count etc. The third section was system features listings and how to use them. Listing of all the keys etc, as well as a page for each major scoring feature, but you can add your theme's, sounds, special effects etc. I also had a section on my main selling point, the vault, which were preset sections and code, very much like how you did yours, but we don't have the ability to directly modify Future Pinball, so this was a wo[rk around. The rest were coding, music, display and lighting effects, and then code stuff as sections. I generally had a page per topic, that way I could expand as I go along, and also find things easier.

@@paulsanderson2998 Very enlightening, thank you! I appreciate your suggestions and quick response times! :)

@@SinomodStudios It's called having nothing else to do;. :)

I really enjoyed my look. I did a second video as well, be up soon, but have also looked at your new videos on updates, some already in there I mentioned. Unity is a pain in the ass, be sure the next video I do mentions the control bug with unity. I did mention this was out about a month and a half, and things were being added, anyone who knows Pinball knows how tough it is to do this. I'm really impressed with your passon and commitment, and pretty sure once people do know about it, they would be the same.

@@paulsanderson2998 Very cool. Look forward to watching that video. Consider me subscribed. I love hearing any and all feedback in regards to the game as well as the editor. It's a never ending project for me. I'm trying to balance free content & dlc atm.😁

My design I wiped up for PinBuilder. Look for My Fun Table4 videos, as I improve the design and playability.

@@paulsanderson2998 My Audio Is Not Working

@@maxhemenway no problem for me. Check if muted maybe? I always forget that one.

@@paulsanderson2998 where did you put the sound files to get them to work

You more than likely just saw that and thought just how nuts I am, but there was another reason. I wanted to see how the physics handled it as well with so many objects, and how the ball tracked and handled it. Pleased to say pretty good.

Very cool!

Hey guys. It doesn't reload with me. To be helpful, I actually have a different folder for all my spare graphics and psd files, it's in app data but not the saved folder. Experience tells me from FP about stuff like that. :)

Thanks Shiva for all the tips (like changing background color or using ball guides for testing out switches). Very appreciated!

I have to look at it. I can't remember if I mentioned it, but this was taken right from the Alien Harvest game, and that doesn't work either (none of them do yet). There are things, for example, you can't actually have scoring based on light state, and lights are a little shaky. I really missed a couple things there, like the lane change is in place.

getting there at least...
