This should be in the latest build of flexDMD 1.9 i think?

Fix backward label align issue · vbousquet/flexdmd@b4ff9f7 (github.com)

 

Yes it is, but 1.9 is depreciated. You can download the source and compile it by yourself.
If you are not able to compile, just use my 1.8.0+ version :drinks:

 

Incorrect Info. Thanks to Wieshund I realized it was wrong

They have that stuff in Amsterdam?

I never made it past the girls in the windows.

 

What did you do in Amsterdam?

Walked around looking at windows, for 4 hours.

What do those Americans have with Windows ??
When my colleagues from the states are over for "business" they always want to go to Amsterdam and looking at Windows.

I gave them even their own serial number for Windows 11 last time ...

It's what you do here when you can't afford stuff or know you shouldn't buy it regardless.
You just go look at it in the windows.

(Well once upon a time when stores actually had display windows)

I'm brand new to VP and I don't get how to use FlexDMD at all. Is there a simple tutorial for like 101 basics? I downloaded it, extracted the folder into my PINMame folder, then copies the DotMatrix onto my table and copied ALL the demo script into my script just to see if I could get it to run and it can't process the "FlexDMD" variable at all. I get the message "ActiveX component can't create object: 'FlexDMD.FlexDMD'" I have no idea what that means or how to resolve that. Any ideas or advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I'd also love a list of syntactical commands for how to tell the FlexDMD what to do. I assume they aren't similar to the HUD script from Future Pinball so I'll have to learn them somehow. I was hoping to just dissect the example script from the FlexDemo but I can't even get that to work AS IS. Thanks in advance!

Hi compadres... looking for a FlexDMD guru willing to help me convert some working FlexDMD running in the soon-to-be-release Fallout (ROM table) update.  I would like to support 256x64 to make it look a lot nicer.
 
The current code I found (currently using) looks nearly nothing like the FlexDMD's Demo VPX (w/ almost no in-line docs) so converting/adding in the needed code is not working. Hoping someone with knowledge can help? TIA!
