Tartzani, should I just wait till you fix it, or just use the older version of flex.

use this

Releases · vbousquet/flexdmd (github.com)

 

which i would not call an "older" version
it is the present release version

[wiesshund]

Tartzani, should I just wait till you fix it, or just use the older version of flex.

 

I threw a bug report for you in flexDMD github
It isnt an issue with the table coding.

 

Vbousquet seems to be recently active in there, so hopefully he will see it soon

i cant fix it

[Redwings13]

I miss read your message about getting it fixed, sorry.

[BrandonLaw]

Did I say 'older?'  That may have been on me.  Apologies. 

 

Betas are betas for a reason.  Stick with current and can't go wrong....I went wrong.   

[jpsalas]

 

 

I get the same error:

 

 

Runtime error

-------------

Line: 13808

Object required: 'scene.GetLabel(...)'

 

And I have FlexDMD 1.9.1.0 and freezy 1.8.0. It works fine on all the other tables. Either there is some image missing or as wiesshund said, you need an older FlexDMD.

 

I have the latest build from

Actions · vbousquet/flexdmd (github.com)

 

And it reports as

 

Where are you sourcing flexDMD 1.9.1 from?

 

 

I guess I wrote that wrong . I use the latest 1.8.1 from the Github, I just downloaded it again to be sure I I still get the same error:

 

Runtime error

-------------

Line: 13808

Object required: 'scene.GetLabel(...)'

 

I can wait until the problem is fixed I'll try the table with my home computer when I come home Saturday.

[Redwings13]

I downloaded the one wiesshund suggested and it looks the same version as my my current version 

still no flexdmd display.

I fixed it partially

The offending section passes, it errors at another section which most likely needs a similar fix

i added actor NewLabel, i am thinking that is required to create the object?

I did this for credit xscore and ball (They ARE CASE SENSITIVE)

 

I am not sure why it would need to be implicit in newer but not in older snap shots?

	For i = 1 to 4
		scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("Score_" & i, FontScoreInactive, " ")
	Next

	scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewFrame("VSeparator")
	scene.GetFrame("VSeparator").Thickness = 1
	scene.GetFrame("VSeparator").SetBounds 40, 0, 1, 32

	scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewGroup("Content")
	scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("Credit", font, "")
	scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("xscore", font, "")
	scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("Ball", font, "")
	scene.GetGroup("Content").Clip = True
	scene.GetGroup("Content").SetBounds 41, 0, 128-41, 32
	scene.GetGroup("Content").AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("Ball", FontScoreCredits, " ")
	scene.GetGroup("Content").AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("Credit", FontScoreCredits, " ")
	scene.GetGroup("Content").AddActor FlexDMD.NewLabel("xscore", FontScoreActive, " ")
	scene.GetLabel("Credit").SetAlignedPosition 52, 27, FlexDMD_Align_TopRight
	scene.GetLabel("xscore").SetAlignedPosition 32, 27 , FlexDMD_Align_TopRight
	scene.GetLabel("Ball").SetAlignedPosition 0, 27, FlexDMD_Align_TopLeft

It proceeds now to line 14049

	scene.Getvideo("intro").SetBounds 0, 0, 128, 32
	scene.Getvideo("intro").visible = True

I am guessing an add actor for the video is required also?

Worth a look see a guess?

Not sure why, perhaps vbousquet is trying to tighten up the API? and requiring more implicit declarations?

So maybe something like

 

scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewVideol("name", etc, "")

Not sure why, perhaps vbousquet is trying to tighten up the API? and requiring more implicit declarations?

So maybe something like

 

scene.AddActor FlexDMD.NewVideol("name", etc, "")

 

so all flex commands is case sensitive ? this i can fix

[batch]

Excellent !

 

Sure it's been hard to make this beauty !

 

The atmosphere reminds me of the VPX table "3 Angels" and the FP table "DarkQuest"

 

I did this backdrop for desktop users like me

 

 

A snapshot with the table

 

 

I also replaced images on Flasher006 & Flasher007

 

UTLeftBG1                     

 

 

UTRightBG1

 

 

I also widenned Flasher006 & Flasher007 for them to cover all the width of the screen

 

[tartzani]

now why take away those nice and moving face towers

[batch]

Oh, it's just my "alternate" vision

 

Thanks again to all the team

Edited by batch, 26 August 2021 - 09:37 AM.

[tartzani]

changed all i could find with lowercase

saw another mistake i have made aswell
the "groups" are not created that's why you get lots of warning in the log

DMD works without extra groups created.

I now see how it should have been done




need someone that has the latest flex to test ? ill give a private link if someone has not reverted back too 1.8.0.0 and get errors

post a text file with the replacement script, i will try it for you.

Thats all that needs tested, no need really for you to have to put up a full test download

 

I can flip between revisions as needed, so no big deal for me

so all flex commands is case sensitive ? this i can fix

 

 

 

Not commands so much
flexdmd.getlabel and FlexDMD.GetLable are seen as the same i think

 

but DATA or Value is case sensitive

 

if i define a label as ("SamHain"

 

and the later say GetLabel "samhain"

GetLabel will have a failure because SamHain and samhain are not the same guy, and the object samhain does not even exist, he was never defined

[wiesshund]

there is something fishy there, why this hapend now after working for so long ill fix it asap

 

 

 

 

Did you have anything up yet that youd like tested in regards to the flexDMD part?
