Sounds like you have a problem somewhere else

The scripts do work I have used Slimer 2.1.0  , America's most haunted , Diablo

Okay, well, thanks. Good to know it's working for you.
flexdmd works well for the KISSDMDV2 table that doesn't want to work before reinstalling windows and Masters of the Universe works very well but as soon as there is the diablo script or Slimer 2.1.0 in the diablo table folder where the slimer table stops I'm better than before.  
 
virtualdmd every time I turn it on, it crashes the tables.
in DmdDevice.ini.

Hello,

 

I have just tested FlexDMD with Pokemon Pinball. It seems very promising to me. I have han issue though. The image is very blurry compared to the original display on the main table. 

I use the following command:

 

[Pokemon_Pinball]
virtualdmd enabled=true
virtualdmd left = 2234
virtualdmd top = 791
virtualdmd width = 512
virtualdmd height = 144

 

I have a 1280x1024 backglass display. I tried to change the 128x36 values in the vbs script but it created other troubles (big changes in text sizes from one time to another one).

Any advice?

I'm noob =(

I have change the frezzy files to 1.73 version. Add the flexdmd file and register flexdmd and ultradmd. Now if i start the table without change the script all seems to work, i don't have the ultradmd screen on table startup. I have the text on dmd white. It's normal that the tablet work without change in the script? How can i change my text color? tnx

Show us what you changed - if you get that error it is most probably related to something you haven't done correctly earlier in the code.


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

My problem is that i want to text on dmd in Red, and not in White. I have full color in diablo, all video are colored without problem but the text is white. I add a part in the script 

 

'===============================FlexDMD===============Insert immediately above "UltraDMD.Init"=================
 
Dim FlexDMD
 
    Set FlexDMD = CreateObject("FlexDMD.FlexDMD")
 
    If FlexDMD is Nothing Then
 
  MsgBox "No UltraDMD found.  This table MAY run without it."
 
        Exit Sub
 
    End If
 
    FlexDMD.GameName = cGameName
 
Set UltraDMD = FlexDMD.NewUltraDMD()
 
FlexDMD.RenderMode = 2     'Uncomment to use full colorDMD
 
'   FlexDMD.Color = &hFFFF00    'Uncomment and set color for monochrome DMD
 
'==============================================================================================================
I have error if i enale the flexdmd.color and remove ' from it. 
But now i think to understand that is good if i want all dmd in only one color, as an old pinball. I only want to have the text in a color that i can choose .
 
In the Diablo original script, there is this part
Dim UltraDMD
Dim DMDColor, DMDColorSelect, UseFullColor
UseFullColor = "True"                          '  "True" / "False"
DMDColorSelect = "Red"            ' Rightclick on UDMD window to get full list of colours
 
I change the DMDColorSelect and i have the text in the color that i want. 
Now this part was delete from the script and i don't know how can i add it

Vbousquet -- With UltraDMD you can select full color and whatever color you have selected the text will be that color...

It has been discovered That with FlexDMD you can not do this, How can this be achieve with FlexDMD?

 

Or are we missing something

I have a Pindmd3 and it worked perfect for first day. Now every table that uses this I get a virtual dmd on the play field and can not get rid of it... only way is by hitting windows key on keyboard and then closing the window... any ideas or solutions?

I believe you are talking about pinmame dmd - hit F1 and untick the option for it. Keep the external ( freezy ) on.


From now on. I won't help anyone here at VPF. Please ask Noah why that is.

Hi, It seems like a bug (or more a missing feature ; for the time being, FlexDMD is either color and text is white, or monochrome and everything is the same color) on the FlexDMD side ; I will have to investigate and patch it for this to be correct. I will have a look by the end of the week.

Hi,

 

FlexDMD uses the windows video decoding. If you have an old Windows 7, it may be missing the latest wmv decoders used in Diablo videos. UltraDMD use LAV Filters, so it behave differently.

Windows supported media format support list is https://docs.microso...edia-foundation

Based on this, all Windows 7 should be ok... But sometimes...

I broke my pincab this week-end (motherboard failed, I bought a new one, everything went fine, then it died...), so no time for coding, sorry for that. Will have a look next week.
