This one is a mess and requires renaming a timer in the actual vpx file.

The timer Timer conflicts with the VBScript Timer function and should be renamed to GameTimer.

Then further some UltraDMD files need to be renamed to be fully uppercase: America's Most Haunted.UltraDMD/waz[0-26].gif

Some more missing files

./America's Most Haunted.UltraDMD/SWG.gif
./America's Most Haunted.UltraDMD/SPZ.gif
./America's Most Haunted.UltraDMD/SPY.gif

Had to fix some issues with automatic string to number conversion as the script expects a Long and wine vbscript seems to use Integer causing overflow errors. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56280

Script Error at line 552 : VBSE_OVERFLOW

Another bug where strings containing numbers are not parsed to numbers: https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56281

@jsm174 ready to squash and merge

But users will have to do the vpx modification, added a readme.

Can you calrify the method ?

  1. Open the table with VPX on Windows
  2. On layer windows, filter with the name "Timer" and select the property "Timer"
  3. Rename on the Property windows "Timer" to "GameTimer"
  4. Save and close

This is correct ?

I think so, I tried finding the timer by clicking on the round things next to the table. Does it not work for you?

You should be able to do it using vpxtool extract and after changing the name a vpxtool assemble.
