Visual Pinball - PROC - Setup

Tested Win10 x64

Prerequisites

Existing Python 2.6 or higher installations

Remove entries from the enviroment path to Python26 to not interfere with the proc_env install as this will use and need Python 2.7.13

1. Installer (PROC) http://skeletongame.com/files/proc_env_installer_wHD_1.27.exe

Courtesy of (https://github.com/mjocean) (https://skeletongame.com)

  • Select all the options after opening the installer and run through any steps that require user input.

  • After installation is completed open C:\P-ROC and remove or rename the cmake directory. (stops R6304, msvcr90.dll)

Note (rare): If you get extreme errors whilst running the installer: Search for libiconv-2.dll and you'll find two versions of it - one in syswow64, which needs to be renamed during the install.

2. PROC VP Controller

Download the files in this repository and copy to C:\P-ROC\Tools

https://github.com/horseyhorsey/proc-visual-pinball

Go to C:\P-ROC\Tools and open a command prompt and run the following to ensure pip installed.

python -m ensurepip --no-default-pip

Run the following to clean up install if any parts are missing.

python proc_env_fix.py

This script will also register the vp_com.py controller. You will see the following line if OK.

VPROC.Registered ok

If you get an error along the lines of - ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Run the following command.

python C:\Python27\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install

3. Last steps (Mandatory)

Edit the configuration that was created for you in the installer at C:\Users\%UserName%\.pyprocgame\config.yaml

Add the following line for vp game mapping.

vp_game_map_file: c:\P-ROC\shared\vp_game_map.yaml  # relevant for Visual Pinball (only)

You can run a game now making sure you have a mapping for it in P-ROC\Shared\vp_game_map.yaml

4. Updates

In some versions of skeleton game they use a higher SDL2 version than shipped.

https://www.libsdl.org/download-2.0.php (I am using latest as of now 2.0.10 stable without noticing issues)

Copy the SDL2.dll to C:\P-ROC\DLLS

5. Issues

P-ROC\Shared\Log.txt - Visual Pinball Controller log

Known issues:

  • FontManager requires sdl2_tff (this wasn't an issue on last install)

Copy the SDL2_ttf.dll that works with Visual Pinball into 'P-ROC\DLLS'. You will find the file in P-ROC\Tools\Dlls

  • When trying to run Visual Pinball after these steps and errors like "Controller not found"

Open command prompt as an Administrator.

python C:\Python27\Scripts\pywin32_postinstall.py -install

On success you will see the following:

Copied pythoncom27.dll to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\pythoncom27.dll
Copied pythoncomloader27.dll to C:\WINDOWS\SysWOW64\pythoncomloader27.dll

You don't need to re-register the controller this should be all it needs.
