attn )p(, need help with Emulaxian's selection set setup

[MrBond]

Hi again!  I just setup a bunch of pinball tables in a gamelist.  I have 2 pinball lists now.  One entitles "pinmame" and the other "irpinball".  However, when I hit the key to swich between lists, I get a script error.  Could you point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

In fepinball.cfg:
--1. Gamelists in this selection set
--
gamelist1|pinmame/pinmame|
gamelist2|irpinball/irpinball|
--
--
--2. Details for each gamelist so that it can be shown in the selectionset menu
--
pinmame|/Pinball Tables/pinmame////////pinball/console//////////////////////////|
irpinball|/IR Pinball Tables/irpinball////////pinball/console//////////////////////////|

In fepinballlist.cfg:
irpinball|1.0000|2.0000|        
 
In feselectionsets.cfg
|Pinball Tables|pinball||||||||pinball|console||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Did you build these by hand or are these autogenerate by the cfg uitlity?

What are you trying to do. Changin between the two lists with the gamelist selection menu (gs) or toggle between two gamelists (default key tab).  You have setup it to switch using the gs menu.

Easiest for me is if you zip-up your \cfg folder and email it me then i will check it...

(Forgot to add that the above looks ok to me at first glance...so I suspect a problem with either one of the two gamelists. You probably edited them by hand. In the next version I plan to check gamelist when they are loaded and give a warning message when they are not ok with a notice which entry gave the trouble. Because this is the most common cause of script errors people report. And in almost all cases it is a nonvalid emulator reference in field 10 of a gamelist entry. For example by removing or adding an xtra || somewhere...the emualtor reference is not in the correct field...ok I degress   )

Actually I would like the toggle, but I tried that and it didn't work, so I tried this way to change between the two lists with the gs

I autogenerated them using the utility and the VPLauncher.dat
However, I did modify some of the entries.  I wanted the pictures to show correctly (fields and backglasses), as well as I changed some of the names (first field) so they look better.  And for some of the entries that didn't have all of their info, I filled in what I could from looking at the VPLauncher.dat for similar files.

That's probably it then, I might have changed something and knocked a || out.  

I'll send you my cfg!  Thanks!

if you want to toggle then just change:

--1. Gamelists in this selection set
--
gamelist1|pinmame/pinmame|
gamelist2|irpinball/irpinball|
--

to

--1. Gamelists in this selection set
--
gamelist1|pinmame/irpinball|
--


I will try to check your cfg files tomorrow

I found the problem...the cfg utility should have warned you not to use the same name for a selectionset cfg  and an emulator cfg. So this is my fault I should have included a warning in it. But I must confess I had forgotten that this could happen...they are compounded into the same table using their shotrname to identify them. So the emulator cfg will overwrite the selset cfg entry in the table if it has the same name. There is an emulator called pinball in your emulator folder. Renaming the selectionset to something else like pinballselset will do the trick. I adjusted your cfg files accordingly...
