Hi Marco,
Let me know if I can help with testing for windowed output (if you plan on doing that (please be doing that ;-> )). If a window can be made that will retain custom size and position, that would be perfect. There is a script that can be used in fplaunch that will allow Hyperpin to call an alternate exe for specific tables (this was done to allow multiple versions of
FP to be used). I am sure it would be simple to make it call and subsequently kill the
DMD process for
DMD FP tables.
I can see it getting more complicated because of varying
DMD sizes. There is also the question of being able to send HUD objects to the
DMD for dmd-less tables. It seems like that might be a simple script update to the table itself so that the hud data is designated as
DMD type. Slamt1lt's Tron table (among others) produce video (mp4?) to the backglass from an object listed as "OVERLAY". I wonder if that could be conditionally used instead of (or including) a
DMD object. Perhaps there needs to be a "Marco-
DMD" object/designation that future
FP tables could specifically reference, to remove any ambiguity in what hits the 3rd screen. I don't build tables so I don't know how objects work in
FP and how you might be able to interact with specific ones.
Very interesting.
Thanks,
Matt
