I've been thinking about the DofLinx problem all night and it's driving me crazy.

 

Even if I accidentally mapped my outputs wrong and let's say I got the flippers and slingshots reversed, it's still an output and it should still send the signal to something, even if it is the wrong thing but it isn't.

 

It must be configured properly or the undercab lighting wouldn't work.

 

I can't get fake emulation to work, but it's not seeing key presses like it should, either.

 

I could really use some help figuring this out.

 

Thanks,

So the doflink isn't working - but, they solenoids are still alive ? Setting this up wrong, you are always in the risk of burning solenoids to death. There is double reason for me to try to steer you off the path you're on right now. You clearly don't have the experience yet. A bit of fiddelig with software that works might help you understand how it actually is put together.

 

About tables, well - once you start playing - if you really care about getting the cab playing as realistic as possible you'll have to read support threads and fix those issues that hasn't been updated. And after you do that ... you may not agree on everything the authors have decided is the best of a table and .... As the knowledge grows, you may venture into new areas.

 

Just ask Xenonph Of course, with the selection of tables you have chosen to install, you don't look to me as anyone that cares about realism. So, maybe you never go past the playing and never notices the possibilities.

OK then, I didn't abandon you, just had some life to live     The good news is it prompted some thoughts after the appropriate therapy 

 

So back to your issue(s).

 

Fake Emulation - this mode is handy for testing the flipper keyboard monitoring, which is what you are trying to do with VP flag files.  The fact that you can't get your assigned flipper keys to work, ie moving a slide bar, may be to do with the fact that they are Ctrl keys.  If you want to try this Fake Emulation mode you could change your flipper keys to any other keys by temporarily editing L_FLIPPER_KEY= and R_FLIPPER_KEY= in your INI file.  If you set them to something bound to work, like A and B then you could use this test mode.

 

Solenoids not firing - if we ignore all the Fake Emulation stuff, ultimately the issue is that you can see the "Flipper Pressed" messages but do not get a solenoid firing.  For some strange reasons that my fingers don't want to type enough to explain, it could be a weird sequence with NightMode.  To test this, add a line to the very bottom, yes the very last line of your DOFLinx.INI file that is NIGHT_MODE=0  Once your done that, try a VP flag file table and report back.

[jevansoh]

Putting that line literally at the very bottom/last line makes not only the solenoids not fire, but now the undercab lighting isn't working on that table with the flag file, either.

 

Here's the log...  I'm so sorry, I was testing something else and forgot to delete it first.  Black Sabbath is the table with the flag file.

Well it certainly had an impact then!  Juts remove it again.

 

Unfortunately the error you see at the bottom was something I was hoping you wouldn't get.  This is what stopped the other stuff working during that test.  I've just found and fixed that error for a future version.

 

There is another way to correct what I suspect, but it involves regedit.. Don't use regedit if you are not comfortable or unfamiliar with it, you can do serious damage if you change the wrong thing.

 

Tell me what this was set to, and set it to zero.  If Setting_Night  doesn't exist do not try and create it.

 

Computer\HKEY_CUURENT_USER\Software\DOFLinx\Setting_NIGHT

There's height, screen, width, x, and z.  That's it.

[DDH69]

OK, not what I was thinking the problem was then.

 

For more testing on this issue you will need the version of DOFLinx that I am currently working on.  I may have it done to Beta later in the week ready for sharing.

 

In the mean time, enjoy the many bits you have running.

[jevansoh]

Ok, bummer.  I do have a quick question.  Do you plan to offer support for Future Pinball tables that don't have DofLinx?

[DDH69]

Not sure what you mean.  DOFLinx detects FP tables with DOFLinx code.  Normal FP tables just run as per normal, no support needed.

[jevansoh]

I mean support for Future Pinball tables that don't have DoflInx just like you support basic function for VP tables with the use of flag files I was wondering if you'd offer basic functionality for Future Pinball tables that don't have DofLinx.

 

Also, I know absolutely nothing about programming, but would it be a big deal (programming wise) to somehow detect whether or not DOF or Doflinx support exists for the table and then if not, offer the basic functionality without having to have flag files created?

 

Just curious... Thanks so much for all your help and all you do!

[DDH69]

FP already "falls back" to using flipper and under cabinet lighting for tables without DOFLinx code if you have "Future Pinball" in your PROCESSES= 

 

I think you'll find it already does what you want for FP, no flag files necessary.  At present this functionality is likely not working for the same reason as the VP flag files, ie yet to be discovered and solved.

[jevansoh]

Ok, it's not working.  I have a few tables, Jaws is one, that don't have Doflinx and there is no lighting or flippers on those tables... Now I'm curious...If FP doesn't need flag files why does VP need flag files? Again, just curious.

[DDH69]

Think of the logic.  For FP, if you trigger DOFLinx it will use either a full link or basic functionality every time.  For VP, you only want it on if the table doesn't have DOF built in, there is no way for DOFLinx to detect that, hence the flag file.

[jevansoh]

I see.  To make sure I understand correctly, whatever is causing the basic functionality with the flag file to not work in VP is also causing the basic functionality for FP to not work, so when we figure out one, they'll both work, right?

[DDH69]

I believe so.

[jevansoh]

Ok, good deal.  I look forward to trying out the new version.  Thanks again for all your hard work.  Will you update here or PM me when you have an exe file for me to try?

[DDH69]

And just for those reading along ... we solved it all!  The last issue was that the flipper keys were not what was originally thought, they were in fact left and right arrow keys, once found and setup in DOFLinx.INI it all came together.

[jevansoh]

DDH69 beat me to the update, but I want to thank him and all others for their time and support on this one.

 

This is a big accomplishment and I'm proud to have it working.

 

Learned a whole lot!

 

Thanks to all,
