not PUP-Packs, I am talking about export_pinball FX May.pupgames files to include these new tables in pinuppropper
No. Up to you to convert to other non-LB frontends.

Do we have the .pup file with the news tables?
This is media, has nothing to do with PUP-Packs.

Will the naming structure work in Launchbox as it uses (Adventure Island II_ Aliens in Paradise-01) and your is (Adventure Island II - Aliens in Paradise (USA, Europe)?
Yes, it will match the majority of them particularly if you have matched your games via the LB DB and they have a LB ID. Make sure to do a manual refresh of images - select all, F5. LB uses fuzzy matching of the title of game for matching and ignores anything in brackets. Special characters get replaced by underscore which (most times) LB will also match automatically. The few games that don't automatically match (~20 or so in my set when I just imported) were due to alternate names for the game vs what the image is named in my set. You can check the alternative names in LB by editing the game and looking under metadata. You can either rename the game to match the image (using the "set selected name as title" in LB) or manually match the image to your existing entry (easiest is open up Edit and images and drag/drop into window). An example of this is "Winter Olympic Games" which can be named a variety of ways like "Olympic Winter Games: Lillehammer '94".
The naming used for this set is pretty "standard" so you will see this typical of most of the large image sets outside the LB DB.

This is awesome. I'm a super idiot with MAME (pretty good with other emulators though).
My question is: Where can I find the latest non merged romset? I know they're up to around .260 now, but I can't find anything modern at all..

I love this theme!
But i can not figure out how to get the GAME characters shown as in the description https://forums.launchbox-app.com/uploads/monthly_2018_11/804589706_SNESExample.png.34da4234a75ec8f90a7482c508541738.png.
any help is welcome
Double check you have followed the addon's install process. For example, the character png files are in these folders.
Also make sure you have a view change button mapped to your controller in Big Box Options.

Thank you very much for these, they are great.
Would you happen to have all artwork for Excalibur and Epic Quest please for Pinball FX? Thank you.

I am working on update with the new tables released in December and should post here shortly. The logos for those two are also in the FX3 pack I have posted prior.

Thanks!!! This bit of info saved me A TON OF TROUBLESHOOTING TIME!!! Confirmed with WindowSpy that it is now "B2S Backglass Server".
sundogak took care of the troubleshooting for us.
- Exit LaunchBox.
- Download this file ➔➔➔➔ VPXVideoCreator (v3.0.1-beta).7z
-
Replace your "VPXVideoCreator.dll" with the one inside the zip.
- (shouldn't need to unblock it if using 7-Zip.)
- (Re)start LaunchBox.
- Try recording with the backglass option again.
This hasn't been tested as my single monitor setup is not really setup anymore for VPX backglass. (I can run tables showing a backglass and DMD. But I use script to adjust all the VPX settings, and that doesn't work well with the plugin.)
I have been using 3.01 and realized nobody ever gave feedback until I was posting to the VPX thread. So just 8 months late!
The beta version of plugin works great with latest B2S 2.02 server version on recording the back glass. I have also switched to 64 bit VPX and B2S so no plugin issues there.
The only caveat is that if the "background" option in B2S server is selected to "Visible" (see snip below) then the LB Video plugin will record all black. This is used if making the back glass aspect ratio correct and if turned to visible the B2S server fills in the remaining screen space with a black background. Alternatively it is used for custom grill layout/background image behind the back glass. Most people use "Standard" or "Hidden" on background which then makes the back glass image stretch full screen. Not quite sure why the video plugin is doing that vs B2S layering shows correctly. One of the code updates to B2S was to merge layers before display to avoid the older B2S version issue where things got out of order.
Not a big deal to work but in case someone else hits it , the simple fix is to turn off the background layer and back glass recording works as expected.
Background selected as Hidden or Standard. Aspect ratio of back glass is smaller than screen (in this case second screen is 1920x1080) it nicely just records the active B2S window only.
If turned to Visible the above is just 30 seconds of black screen.

The posted ones are 1920x1080. Doubtful I have the non-compressed at this point but will look.

Excellent theme, this should be the default big box theme, but as much as I try, I don't understand where to put the platform category videos, for example the SNK Neo Geo MVS one in which folder exactly should it go?
Somewhat depends on your setup if under Playlist or Platform (most likely a Playlist). In my case the MVS is a playlist as shown below in snaps. You can double check your setup by editing the entry for your MVS and seeing what is shown in the upper left tab (playlist or platform). If it shows Playlist then you place those under Videos, Playlists for your theme. The name for the video must also match what you have in your unique name for that playlist or platform.

Thanks. I think I was misunderstood on what a NAG screen was. I believe what I am talking about are the ROM check screens and bootup within the ROM. I assume you cannot skip those without booting from a save state.
Correct, you cannot skip that since integral to the emulation. From a ROM view it is just like powering up the real arcade unit and it will do whatever is done as far as boot cycle. As you noted, save states are only solution (or using a fast forward button/key assignment).

Thank you! Glad you like it.
Are the tables you're trying to record using the B2S Backglass Server (required)? I know they've done quite a few enhancements on it since this plugin was released. Actually, mostly within the last several months. And I haven't done any recording since my last post. 😊
Are any errors showing during or after recording? I think the DMD and backglass recordings get saved to a separate folder(s), below the plugins folder. (ya, it's been a while since I've looked at it. lol) Are the subfolders even being created (empty or otherwise)? Also, there's supposed to a log folder with a (or some?) log file(s) created when attempting to record. I forget what all gets 'recorded' in the log file(s). See if there's anything enlightening there.
Let me know if/what you find or don't find and if need be, I'll dig into it more.
The latest version renamed the "form1" for the backglass. My recollection on the code, was the plugin looks for that screen name. I hadn't recorded anything since new version came out so will double check. It does have some useful controls on where the backglass form goes.
Edit: per the developer - "Just a note for later B2S releases, the form name has changed from "Form1" to "B2S Backglass Server". So the pupinit.bat has to be updated..."

Hello,
If I import a full rom set (merged 0.246), and let the LB download the mame emulator and config everything itself, that should not be happening, right?
I followed all the instructions (replaced the exe, edited the ini file), and still it isn't working for me.
In Xmen, I get the romcheck screen, and it doesn't happen like in this video:
Thank you for all the effort and support.
Don't know, I don't use the LB MAME download feature, but I do know it likes to install MAME where LB wants it. Ultimately, what said stands. The no nag exe works, so if it isn't for you then issue with the INI file (improper command; errant character) and/or there is some other MAME EXE floating around that LB is using. My recollection when tried the LB MAME feature is it sets the MAME.ini path specifically in the LB command line so might make sure that is pointing to version you edited. Also, screenshot what you are referring to as "the romcheck" screen to make sure we are talking same thing.
-
@WizardoThe 0.246 EXE works, so it is something on your setup. If the skip_gameinfo setting is set to 1 then more than likely, you are pointing to wrong MAME.EXE and/or MAME.ini file, particularly if you used the LB MAME "all in one" setup.

Not working for me I've tried on multiple games with the one click and it doesn't find anything . for the search parameter I've tried gameplay tailer, just trailer and full game name + tralier and always get nothing in return
Tested on 3 different platforms using LB 12.8 and works as expected with downloading video if it is available (default settings). Either something on your end or there is no video to download.

Am a little confused when it comes to the exe inside the emulation folder and the directory of the actual PinballFX3, do the tables need to be in a certain directory. its asking for steam.api etc when double click.
If you are using Steam, you can do without batch files if you link directly the PXP files in the Steam data folder for each table. Note check box configuration in emulator setup.
-applaunch 442120 -class -table_
Example for Aliens (PXP is unique for each table):
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Pinball FX3\data\steam\Aliens.pxp
