Hello DDH69, I have reinstalled my Cabinet with WIN11 Pro, Nailbusters Bonanza PinUP Popper “Baller” Installer
and the Dude's Cab Controller including DOF in 32Bit & 64Bit. This works perfectly in Visual Pinball/ Future Pinball Vpin Event Tables.

In addition, I have now installed Pinball FX (Steam version) and so that my toys also work with it, I wanted to install DOFLinx and have the problem that the Dude's Cab is not recognized.

I've been looking for the error for 5 days now, but I can't get any further and need a little help.

Therefore my question: Is the Dude's Cab supported by DOFLinx?

Kind regards

 

[DDH69]

Dude's Cab is currently not supported.  Arnoz has sent me a device, its somewhere en route at present.  While there are no promises, we all hope to have this up and running shortly.  Keep looking for new DOFLinx releases and read the release notes.  I'll try to remember to reply on this thread too, but feel free put a new post on this thread if you don't see any news in the next 4 weeks or so.

[Paradoxx]

Thank you for the quick response.

I already thought I was too stupid

[DDH69]

So we've been working on this and are now ready for some beta testing, are you?  (+ @Bmeist)

 

Attached is DOFLinx 8.11 Beta 7 (64 bit).  You will also need new directoutput.dll files.  They are on the Dudes Cab / Beta  (area https://discord.com/...220738898100305 )

 

Other than that its normal DOFLinx setup.

 

Please give it a try and report back on this thread.

Tks @DDH69 for the hard work   
Dude's cab firmware needs to be updated to latest 1.1.2 provided on the channel to correctly work with those DirectOutput DLLs.

[PinMeist]

Thanks so much to both of you for working on this!  I am going to try it out ASAP, hopefully by Monday at the latest and report back (this is Bmeist from discord).

Hi !!
 

There are new DirectOutput DLLs available on the Arnoz' Discord (https://discord.com/...220738898100305)
If validated it would be integrated in the next 3.2 official version from Mjr.
 

 

Tks !

Hi , I did the upgrade of the DudCabe, took the .DLL and version 8.13 of DOFLinx I just have my left and right pinball solenoid which does not activate despite the fact that I am configuring them with the DOF

Have you configured your devices in DOFLinx as well as DOF?
If you ruin DOFLinx with DEBUG=2 do you see DOFLinx find the Dude's Cab device in the DOFLinx.log file? (Feel free to post that file if you can not tell yourself)

Other than seeing that you are running this as administrator (which is not required) this looks quite normal to me at the moment. The log seems to stop before the table is played and I see no shut-down, so can not tell if some is missing.
Perhaps try running not as administrator. Is there more of the log to see?

Bonjour,

 

C'est une version non Steam FX3

J'ai essayé le mode administrateur ou non, c'est la même chose, je n'est pas d'autre fichier Log

 

Le problème est qu'il est une version non Steam ? c'est la Version 6 de PBFX3

Edited by daniel6984, 18 October 2024 - 11:25 AM.

Yes, only designed and tested for Steam version of FX3. Pinball FX integration is easier and better.

Hello DDH69,

 

first of all respect the 8.13 version and especially the config tool are first class!

 

But I have found another error, with the Dudes Cab with Walter Driver and two MOS8 only 15 ports are found and accordingly only up to port 15 can be selected, but there should be 16 ports.

 

It works perfectly in DOF.

 

Could you fix the error?

 

Kind regards

Paradoxx

[DDH69]

Do you have the latest DirectOutput.dll ? That is where the magic happens for reporting the maximum number of ports on Dude's Cab. I'd suggest checking the Dude's discord. Feel free to tag me and vroosh.

Hello DDH69,

 

I think that everything is up to date now but still only 15 output ports are recognized.

 

I took a few screenshots of the respective version numbers and the output DOFLinx Configtool, maybe that will help to narrow down the error.

 

Kind regards

I am away at present and do not have access to version histories.
There was a version of DirectOutput.dll that only counted outputs enabled on Dude's Cab, so if you have one disabled in the configurator you got 15 reported. This was changed in the very last release so that the maximum port number was reported, ie 16.
Perhaps check that you have all outputs enabled in the Dude's Cab configurator.

Where can we find the files in the PATH_FX folder? for doflix?
I only found the B2S folder.
my toys and lights do not work in games, but I placed the DOFLinxTrigger.DLL file correctly

The *.FX files come in the DOFLinx installation ZIP in the sub folder \FX . The default DOFLinx.INI contained in the zip sub folder \config\DOFLinx.INI points to this folder.
