So how well does it run?

[s1500]

This is awesome. I hope this project doesn't get abandoned.

It doesn't do a whole lot, yet. The big hurdle he's been working on since november was being able to use FP table files so that he wouldn't have to write an editor of his own.

[Slydog43]

wow, this is most exciting! Cant wait to see if anything comes from this. I can Dream

[JAM0]

But will it still have FP physics?

[destruk]

Unity has its own physics, so it's neither like VP nor FP.

Good answer , boss !

[CPSNine]

Very exciting to see the project evolve.
Will it be able to produce a "cabinet view" with backglass on separate monitor, or it is too early to say.

[louizou]

At the moment my focus is putted on the table ...
As you can see in the video , there is no backglass at all.
You can be sure that there will be a cabinet view .
The backglass on the second screen is a good idea , but i'll need to create a second exe and make it comunicate with the main one .....
I don't know if unity can handle this ... with ethernet perhaps

Even without the backglass, it's be awesome just to get the main table & vpmame running together and playable. Does your method have it's own script (like vpm tables do) for working back and forth with pinmame? Should talk to one of the FP table guys about making a version of one of their tables (like glxb) that is set up however would work best for your system.

Anxious to see whatever happens, no matter what, that's for sure.

I use a c# interpreter component in unity for launching the table script.
So you'll just have to replace the FP script by the new ,save the table , and BINGO !!

Actually i do not master the interpreter at all so the syntax is a little boring .But it works

here is the T2 script :



GameObject table=GameObject.Find("TABLE");
table.SendMessage("Set_FirstL",11);

All those sendmessage are boring to type and object affectation must be done by the GameObject.Find method.
That's because i create the table in unity and then launch the interpreter.
I've planed to doit in another way, launching the interpreter and create the table from it, so the table objects will be directely accesible by the script.

What about spanning the table, would that work?

[louizou]

what do you mean by "spanning" the table , i do not understand

[bent98]

what do you mean by "spanning" the table , i do not understand

you span the desktop accross mutiple monitors.

So it all acts like one monitor. Obviously, mutil monitor setup is the way to go as it works with Hyperpin.

So that's all the code for the lamps, what about switches and other solenoid driven mechanisms? Don't have any of that running yet?

[maceman]

Wow. that is amazing. I am trying to get a handle on what is happening here. So is this UW's VP table with some sort of 3d rendering? I don't get what i am seeing just yet.

Flippers are slow for me, but i understand this is just the sample. Very interesting, i just don't get it yet

Yeah, that's pretty much it. a Future Pinball table file's data, loaded into the Unity 3D game engine for rendering and controlling. As for the speed/feel of things, that can all be tuned later with the unity engine.

Louiz's end goal, if I understand it correctly, is to be able to take tables built in FPs editor, and run them completely in in the unity engine, hooked into PinMame for the emulation aspect. He's got tons still to do to get there, but IMHO what he's got already is pretty amazing in itself.

[maceman]

oh, this is for FP only? I thought this was for vp and thus was excited!

I think this is really cool, regardless of which table file is used to import into a different physics environment.

ok , i see what you mean . extending the exe window to fit the entire desktop(no duplicate mode).... if it doesn't hurt performances , why not
