VP9 in MA

<< < (2/4) > >>

I tried many a times to get VP9 to work, or any other verion for that matter. After a day of screwing with it I found "Visuall Install Pack 8.1" which worked for me.

I am also having the same type of problem for VP 9.08 running on XP 32bit SP2. The table will stay in the background until I click on it with the mouse, then the table loads fine with all of the lights flashing and allowing coins. But that isn't a satisfactory fix as I won't have that option once I put the unit in a cabinet as I won't have a mouse to click the tables.

If somebody has a work around for this particular bug it would be very much appreciated!

I wrote a script using AutoIT (free software) that gets executed when you launch VP9 from MA.  All it does is count 10 seconds and then executes a couple mouse clicks.  I do not have it here, but when I get home I can post it.  It really works very good.  You create a .au source file and then compile it to a .exe. Then call the .exe file from MA.  It was very easy to create and compile.  I'll let you know.

BobA:
Sounds like just what is needed.  :applaud: :applaud:

Create a source script for autoIt similar to this:


Sleep(8000) ;delay eight seconds
 
; Double click at the current mouse pos
MouseClick("left")
MouseClick("left")

I named source file the following name
mousedelay.au3


You may need to play around with the number of seconds to get it just right for you slowest loading table
I cannot remember what my final second delay I ended up with as I did this on a different machine.

But once you have the file and have downloaded/installed the free autoIt utility simple do start-> programs -> autoIt v3 -> compile script to .exe

follow instructions if 64 bit or not etc. give it a name like mousedelay.exe

Then you call this from Maximus arcade during VP execution.  It works really good for me.  I'm running with windows 7 64 bit and it is stable.
