My mistake. Thank you again, sir!

@UncleMonkey, In fact, I did reply in the issue you opened on GitHub [here](https://github.com/v...lexdmd/issues/5). I thought GitHub would send you a mail with the reply but it seems it didn't.

 

For people interested in having a DMD for the last unicorn, please try the [latest FlexDMD release (1.5.0)](https://github.com/vbousquet/flexdmd); it supports it and comes with a modified script for the table that will add the DMD.

Oh sweet, Update

ok. late to the party  and trying to move the dmd to a 3rd screen - i know it can be done since i got the script from someone to do it for the Neverending Story...

[jpsalas]

This table is based on my first version of the Miraculous table, and the DMD couldn't be moved to a 3rd screen. My latest table uses FlexDMD to do that, but I'm not sure you can just swap scripts

 

Edit; my latest script includes too many changes

 

Try this script, it was made specific to this Last Unicorn table:

I have a weird highscore problem, which I tried to document as well as possible.

 

When I use the unedited table (i.e. with the DMD on the playfield), I can cycle through the highscore letters without a problem:

However, when I replace the table script with the one from the official FlexDMD site (i.e. paste it over the original table script and save), the table crashes at a certain point when I 'm cycling through the letters.

This is me cycling forward - the crash appears several clicks after "Z":

And this is me cycling backward - the crash happens several clicks after "0":

So I'm guessing something happens when the letters/numbers array starts looping back around that the script is unprepared for - but I can't figure out what it is.

 

Here is the error message for line 1611:

 

And here is the subroutine that contains line 1611:

 

 

For clarity, here is the subroutine in text format:

1607 Sub DMDDisplayChar(achar, adigit)
1608     If achar = "" Then achar = " "
1609     achar = ASC(achar)
1610     Digits(adigit).ImageA = Chars(achar)
1611     If Not FlexDMD is Nothing Then DMDScene.GetImage("Dig" & adigit).Bitmap = FlexDMD.NewImage("", "VPX." & Chars(achar) & "&dmd=2&add").Bitmap
1612 End Sub

Could anyone verify or confirm, or tell me what I need to do to fix this? Was it wrong to replace the original table script? Do I simply need the vbs file separate in the table directory? Or in the scripts folder?

As usual, help is much appreciated.

 

EDIT: If anyone is willing to check and needs to get to the highscore screen quickly, just use the Visual Pinball Save File Editor and set the highscores for the table ridiculously low, like 1000 each or so.

The error happens because FlexDMD doesn't have all the images for the letters.

 

Find this line:

 

    hsValidLetters = " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'<>*+-/=\^0123456789`" ' ` is back arrow

 

and change it to

 

    hsValidLetters = " ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789"

 

Those letters have images, and it is what you need to enter the initials. It won't be perfect but it will work

"It won't be perfect", he says.

It's perfect for me! Thank you!
