@Quickdraw19 : I haven't tried this version of the table with FlexDMD - I have however tried it with the other version and with the script from github. Could you give that one a try ? If it works, you at least know that this one breaks it somehow.

 

I'm finally getting back to this and determined to get it working. Not just to get this table working. Clearly I don't understand the workings of virtual DMDs and want to figure that out. I should note that after this table was released last Spring, the DMD did work. I can't think of anything that has changed from then until December. I do remember playing some Future tables of classic games that had been modded to have DMDs, if that is relevant. Those worked, but I don't remember what that were.

 

I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Ultra, Flex, and Freezy. I put debugging messages in the script where it invokes UltraDMD and it seems to be initializing just fine. I Google searched this issue and have done everything suggested that I saw. The FlexDMD works on the demo table provided with Flex. I noticed that the DMD is displayed in/on a flasher object. I don't see anything like that on this table, just the black rectangle on the image where the DMD is supposed to be. Is there a VP setting or configuration that is causing it to be hidden, like with PinMame displays?

 

At this point, I don't know where to begin troubleshooting this...

Is the DMD there and just behind something? Try alt-tab and see if you can find it.

If not, sounds like it's not launching. Check the flags inside the table and make sure

the DMD settings are right. If I recall, there is a flag in that table that gets set with

a 0,1 or 2 depending on your setup.

No, it's not behind any other windows.

 

I can't find anything in the script that looks to control whether or not the DMD is enabled.

I ran UltraDMD.exe directly from it's install directory. Nothing seems to happen but I see in the task manager that it is running. Nothing shows up on screen so for some reason it's invisible. When I launch this table I can also see it starting up in the task manager. At least that eliminates the table as the problem.

Your DMD is probably hidden Unzip and put this file in your UltraDMD folder and run it and see if the DMD shows up

Thanks! I see that there is an option to hide the display for people who are using hardware DMDs. I noticed that the option wasn't saving. I got the display working by deleting the key entries in the registry. I made note that I had tried that already. Windows... ;-)

hello, i just added this modded table to my collection.

i had the no mod version.

but i can't have colored dmd, is same orange about the older one.

found these lines to add to the script:

 

'---------- UltraDMD Unique Table Color preference -------------
Dim DMDColor, DMDColorSelect, UseFullColor
Dim DMDPosition, DMDPosX, DMDPosY, DMDSize, DMDWidth, DMDHeight


UseFullColor = "False" ' "True" / "False"
DMDColorSelect = "Green" ' Rightclick on UDMD window to get full list of colours

DMDPosition = True ' Use Manual DMD Position, True / False
DMDPosX = 100 ' Position in Decimal
DMDPosY = 40 ' Position in Decimal

DMDSize = True ' Use Manual DMD Size, True / False
DMDWidth = 512 ' Width in Decimal
DMDHeight = 128 ' Height in Decimal

'Note open Ultradmd and right click on window to get the various sizes in decimal

GetDMDColor
Sub GetDMDColor
Dim WshShell,filecheck,directory
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
If DMDSize then
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\w",DMDWidth,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\h",DMDHeight,"REG_DWORD"
End if
If DMDPosition then
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\x",DMDPosX,"REG_DWORD"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\y",DMDPosY,"REG_DWORD"
End if
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\fullcolor",UseFullColor,"REG_SZ"
WshShell.RegWrite "HKCU\Software\UltraDMD\color",DMDColorSelect,"REG_SZ"
End Sub

Sorry for the bother, but I'm not able to get the DMD to work. I have UltraDMD from the all-in-one installer (I haven't messed with it) and moved the America's Most Haunted DMD folder (not just the contents) to the tables folder, but there's no DMD showing up. How should I get it to show up?

@Bigus

 

Would you like a colorized DMD for this?
It would be just a very minor script addition, that i could give you
and a set of colored DMD images, which i can also give you

 from the all in one installer, unless it is one older than 10.7.0 you should have FlexDMD instead ?

Thanks wiesshund but it already has colour DMD. You should try it

Thanks wiesshund but it already has colour DMD. You should try it

I did, it was Orange, that's why i was asking

 

Was looking at table for the guy with the no DMD issue, but found no script option that would prevent him from having a DMD
then realized Hey, this DMD is Orange, and i just happen to have a full colored one right here

And i didnt see the full colored enabling lines in the script

You might not have the latest version. Armyaviation provided the colour DMD that he made. Different contents in the DMD folder.

Dunno
I just downloaded what ever you had uploaded here at the time of the post

I'm getting no backglass, and no DOF at all. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong at this point.

ideas???

found the issue for the backglass: 

 

Dim Controller

'Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

'Controller.Run

 

not sure why B2S is commented out in the script...???

still no DOF though, which appears to be handled by B2S Server on this table.

 

UPDATE - got DOF working with script edits. Not sure if it was due to a bug, or something with my setup.

How did you get DOF to work care to share what you did with the script please and thank you. Love the table but with DOF it would be even better. 

Thanks in advance.

The table only started working for me after I removed these two lines:

 

23 Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

24 Controller.Run
