Release Notes 3.13.0

Changes

• Tables / Backglass Manager: Added support for managing multiple backglasses for one table. Check out our YouTube channel for more details.

• Tables / VPS Tables: Added "Comment" column and comment input field. You can enter personal comments there, e.g. to mark the table for downloading or that you tried that table but did not like it. This comment is solely stored for you and not submitted to the VP-Spreadsheet database.

  

• System Manager / Screens: The screens view is a new experimental view and should show you all screens of your VPin, ordered by the different software components. It should help you to troubleshoot screen position issues.

  

• System Manager / Emulators: Added emulator management. The manager works for PinballX and PinUP Popper. For PinUP Popper you can add new emulators too. The view comes with some validators too which do some folder checks for the corresponding values.

• Tables / Patching: Several improvements have been made:

  • Added "Patch Version" field to the data manager for those who want to track this separately. Note that by default, the value is written into the field "Custom5" for PinUP Popper users. You can disable this in the server settings.
  • Added "Patch Version" field to the patch upload dialog.
  • Added "Patch Version" column to the table overview. Note that this column is disabled by default and must be enabled in the client settings.

• Preferences / Controller Setup: Added input option to generate screenshots. This allows you to generate screenshots in-game. The feature might come in handy for competitions that require screenshot references. For more details see: https://github.com/syd711/vpin-studio/wiki/Taking-Screenshots

• Preferences / PinVOL / Volume: Added option to mute the cabinet on startup.

• Preferences / Webhooks: In order to support the development of https://github.com/mikedmor/ArcadeScore, we have added webhooks that can be used to integrate 3rd party systems into VPin Studio. A detailled documentation can be found here: https://github.com/syd711/vpin-studio/wiki/Webhooks. Note that this API is not final yet as the development is still in progress. We will give updates about this soon.

3.12.11

Release Notes 3.12.11

Critical VPin Mania Update

Unfortunately I had to reset the VPin Mania database. This was required because of a critical error in the unique id generation for the registration (which wasn't so unique in the end).

What data is lost?

All highscores, accounts, tournaments, tournament highscores and friend settings have been deleted.

What data is kept?

The deny lists for highscores are kept. Unfortunately, the information of the editor who submitted the entry is lost too, but I can restore these manually later.

Can I restore my data?

Almost all of it, yes. After updating, just press the "Friends" button or the VPin Mania registration button the preferences to re-register your cabinet.
The updated registration process lets you automatically register your players and will synchronize all your highscores too.
This will restore most of the data.
Unfortunately, existing tournament data and linked friends data is lost forever, and you need to set up these again.

...but...WHY? Give me the details!

The idea of the VPin Mania was to keep the registration simple and use a unique system id (instead of any personal data like email and password) to identify a cabinet (not the user).
I have read different system parameters for that, including the system's processor id. I wasn't aware that this id is not unique.
As a result, players have been automatically restored with data from other cabinets. Since I can't identify which accounts are affected by this problem, I've decided to reset all, even though I'll loose some users.
But it was required to continue the feature development there.

3.12.10

Release Notes 3.12.10

Changes

• VPin Mania: Added automatic player restoring when you re-install VPin Studio and your cabinet was already registered.
• VPin Mania: The registration has been re-implemented so that you can immediately register your players and synchronize your highscores too.

---

Release Notes 3.12.8

Changes

• MacOS Support: Fixed additional path problems for the updater.
• Pause Menu: Force focus improvements for web browser when playing tutorial videos.
• Tables / Media Recorder: Fixed resizing issues under macOS (hopefully).
• Linux Support: Fixed installation script.
• Linux Support: Fixed client updates (you need to update manually once again for this, see https://github.com/syd711/vpin-studio/wiki#updates).

---

Release Notes 3.12.7

Changes

• MacOS Support: Fixed various issues for editing .vbs files and saving local UI settings.
• Tables / Asset Manager: Fixed search input field so that the search is triggered on enter pressed again.
• Tables / Table Data Manager: Improved error handling.

---

Release Notes 3.12.6

Changes

• VPin Studio Server: Added updating of launch and exit calls for VPX tables in PinballY.
• Tables / Media Preview: Fixed "Other2" screen preview.
• Tables / Asset Manager: Dropping multiple files on the preview screens is now allowed (it was only 1x before).
• Tables / Asset Manager: Improved empty texts depending on the search state.
• Tables / Table Data Manager: Fixed issue that the dialog did not open when used from remote (hopefully).

---

Release Notes 3.12.5

Changes

• Visual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM): Updated to the newest version 3.5 (used for fresh installations).
• Visual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM) / Table Backups: Removed the backup view from the Studio client and from the server. This way the server has no .net dependency anymore. VPBM is still available, but Studio does not intermingle with it's configuration anymore.
• Table Views / Persistent Columns: You can change the width and order (drag and drop) of columns and this state is saved now.
• VPin Studio Client: New pincab avatar used in client.
• VPin Studio Client/Server: Added possibility to change the default port from 8098 to another one. Consult the wiki help articles for more details.
• VPin Studio Server: Fixed update of start/exit curl calls in the emulator scripts which may have failed because of invalid SQL escaping.
• VPin Studio Server: Possible fix for the connection issues.
• DMD Position Tool: Support of full video for positioning from frontend when frontend menu screen is kept displayed
• Server Performance Optimizations: It is hard to put the results here in numbers, so they may vary depending on your machine. So here is what happened:
  • Some initialization processes like the lookup for resetted nvrams are executed asynchronous now, so that the server is faster available.
  • PUP pack scanning: The media detection has been simplified, so the initial detection time is significantly faster.
  • ALT Sound scanning: Only if the validator is active, all ALT sound packages are precached. Otherwise they will be lazy loaded when opened in the "ALT Sound" section.

---

Release Notes 3.12.4

Changes

• Installation: Fixed critical initial table scan bug which sometimes corrupted the database so that the whole installation broke. For users where no tables where detected at all: just delete all files in the installation folder and restart the installation using the full installer .exe file.
• Highscore Resets: Switched the default from 99 to 0. These values are only used when the highscore has been reset through the "Delete Table" dialog.
• Highscore Displays: use client default thousands separator eveywhere when displaying scores, dashboard and player badges were not rendered properly
• VPin Studio Server: Improved launch and exit curl calls. The curl call is replaced now with the additional parameter emu which contains additional information about the game emulator used, depending on the frontend you are using. This way, you can share your tables folder between different VPX emulators and the correct emulator is still detected corrected. The parameter is optional, so if the automatic update of the curl call fails for some reason, the old format is still valid.
• Highscore Settings: Removed configuration option for highscore titles, e.g. "GRAND CHAMPION". These values are now part of the internal scoring database so that the user never has to deal with this kind of stuff.
• Highscore Parsing: Fixed highscores for tables Defender, Black Pyramid and Catacomb.
• Highscore Parsing: Fixed encoding problems when displaying highscore values with number separators.
• Tables / Playlists: Renamed Local Favorites to Playlist Favorites.
• Tables / PinVOL Settings: The user interface for the PinVOL settings used the SSF DB limit value now. You can't configure this via Studio yet and have to configure it once via the PinVOL UI.
• PinballX Frontend: fixed zero byte download by using FTP passive mode, then try active mode if failure
• System Manager: Fixed Backglass Server update detection.

---

Release Notes 3.12.3

Changes

• Tables / Asset Manager: Disabled auto-search for the asset manager and PinUP Popper. It this was causing too much traffic. You have to hit "Search" manually from now on.
• Tables / Backglasses: Support Alias Mapping for DMD Positioning.
• VPin Mania / Online Status: Again, improved check to set the online status back to "offline"/"online".
• Tables / Highscores: Added button to open the table on VPin Mania.
• Tables / Locale Settings: Removed the hard-coded "English" locale from the VPin Studio client. I don't why I've set this once, but depending on the country, the dot is shown as number separator again.
• Competitions / iScored: Added missing highscore reset for iScored subscriptions.
• Tables / Media Recorder: Added information how many videos have actually been recorded to the status and summary messages.
• Pause Menu: Fixed issue that the pause menu did not hide on table exit.
• Pause Menu / Tutorial Videos: Switched from Chrome to Edge. By default, Microsoft Edge will now be used for the tutorial playback via YouTube. This way, users don't have to install additional software.
• Tables / Validations: Switched back to a fix height for the validation error box to avoid accidental double-clicking the wrong table (avoids the table jumping when switching between valid and invalid tables).
• Tables / Table Data Manager: Switched the order of Auto-Naming and VPS Entry panels on the first tab. The renaming panel belongs closer to the actual fields it changes.
• Tables / Launch Actions When a table launched via Studio (through VPX.exe selection), the game status is set now. This allows the pause menu and in-game recording to work without the need to launch a game through the frontend.
• Tables / PUP Pack Section: Removed the PUP pack tweaker tool again as it is writing invalid configs for PinUP Popper.
• Tables / PinVOL Settings: Improved persistence layer to read/write only valid values. These may got broken due to the initial errorneous integration here.
• Drop-In Folder: The installation from the drop-in menu is now only allowed, when the table overview is selected. Otherwise, the table selection from the other views might lead to confusion.

---

Release Notes 3.12.2

Changes

• VPin Studio Server: Fixed critical possible deadlock that would block all tables from being read.
• Tables / Playlist Manager: Improved error handling for media assets.

• Tables / Uploads: Added "wav" as additional audio format for music packs and alt sound.

Release Notes 3.12.0

Changes

• Tables / Playlist Manager Added playlist manager to create, edit and delete playlists. Note that the interaction concept differs from Popper here, as you can only remove tables from playlists there and use the table overview to add tables instead. This feature comes with a bunch of other changes regarding the playlist management.
  • The playlist section in the table overview has been re-designed to support multi-selection. So you select multiple tables from the table overview and add them to a playlist....

Release Notes 3.12.5

Changes

• Visual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM): Updated to the newest version 3.5 (used for fresh installations).
• Visual Pinball Backup Manager (VPBM) / Table Backups: Removed the backup view from the Studio client and from the server. This way the server has no .net dependency anymore. VPBM is still available, but Studio does not intermingle with it's configuration anymore.
• Table Views / Persistent Columns: You can change the width and order (drag and drop) of columns and this state is saved now.
• VPin Studio Client: New pincab avatar used in client.
• VPin Studio Client/Server: Added possibility to change the default port from 8098 to another one. Consult the wiki help articles for more details.
• VPin Studio Server: Fixed update of start/exit curl calls in the emulator scripts which may have failed because of invalid SQL escaping.
• VPin Studio Server: Possible fix for the connection issues.
• DMD Position Tool: Support of full video for positioning from frontend when frontend menu screen is kept displayed
• Server Performance Optimizations: It is hard to put the results here in numbers, so they may vary depending on your machine. So here is what happened:
  • Some initialization processes like the lookup for resetted nvrams are executed asynchronous now, so that the server is faster available.
  • PUP pack scanning: The media detection has been simplified, so the initial detection time is significantly faster.
  • ALT Sound scanning: Only if the validator is active, all ALT sound packages are precached. Otherwise they will be lazy loaded when opened in the "ALT Sound" section.

---

Release Notes 3.12.4

Changes

• Installation: Fixed critical initial table scan bug which sometimes corrupted the database so that the whole installation broke. For users where no tables where detected at all: just delete all files in the installation folder and restart the installation using the full installer .exe file.
• Highscore Resets: Switched the default from 99 to 0. These values are only used when the highscore has been reset through the "Delete Table" dialog.
• Highscore Displays: use client default thousands separator eveywhere when displaying scores, dashboard and player badges were not rendered properly
• VPin Studio Server: Improved launch and exit curl calls. The curl call is replaced now with the additional parameter emu which contains additional information about the game emulator used, depending on the frontend you are using. This way, you can share your tables folder between different VPX emulators and the correct emulator is still detected corrected. The parameter is optional, so if the automatic update of the curl call fails for some reason, the old format is still valid.
• Highscore Settings: Removed configuration option for highscore titles, e.g. "GRAND CHAMPION". These values are now part of the internal scoring database so that the user never has to deal with this kind of stuff.
• Highscore Parsing: Fixed highscores for tables Defender, Black Pyramid and Catacomb.
• Highscore Parsing: Fixed encoding problems when displaying highscore values with number separators.
• Tables / Playlists: Renamed Local Favorites to Playlist Favorites.
• Tables / PinVOL Settings: The user interface for the PinVOL settings used the SSF DB limit value now. You can't configure this via Studio yet and have to configure it once via the PinVOL UI.
• PinballX Frontend: fixed zero byte download by using FTP passive mode, then try active mode if failure
• System Manager: Fixed Backglass Server update detection.

• Tables / Media Recorder: Added information how many videos have actually been recorded to the status and summary messages.

• Tables / Table Data Manager: Switched the order of Auto-Naming and VPS Entry panels on the first tab. The renaming panel belongs closer to the actual fields it changes.
• Tables / Launch Actions When a table launched via Studio (through VPX.exe selection), the game status is set now. This allows the pause menu and in-game recording to work without the need to launch a game through the frontend.
• Tables / PUP Pack Section: Removed the PUP pack tweaker tool again as it is writing invalid configs for PinUP Popper.
• Tables / PinVOL Settings: Improved persistence layer to read/write only valid values. These may got broken due to the initial errorneous integration here.
• Drop-In Folder: The installation from the drop-in menu is now only allowed, when the table overview is selected. Otherwise, the table selection from the other views might lead to confusion.
