Here is the DOF edition of Scarface!
 
If you don't have a ledwiz, this release has no meaning for you.
 
It must run in combination with the DOF configuration available in configtool, or you won't have any ledwiz effects.

I was in a hurry yesterday when I posted the table so i couldn't put a lot of explanation.

 

DOF is the brand new software for controlling force feedback events on tables to Ledwiz controller, that controls leds, contactors, shaker, gear motor etc..

 

here is it's anouncement:

 

http://www.vpforums....showtopic=25841

 

It will and it has already replaced Ledcontrol.vbs for a lot of them, just like db2s replaced uvp, there's simply no comparison between ledcontrol.vbs and DOF in terms of performance and capabilities.

 

The fact is once you use DOF, you need to abandon ledcontrol.vbs totally, the two systems can't be installed at the same time on your computer/cabinet, or you will have conflicts, two systems that will control your Ledwiz at the same time, I spare you the consequences

 

Regarding ledwiztoolbox.vbs, once you install DOF, tables modified with toolbox won't work anymore, but I worked on the two best original tables, this one and WOOLY (that I will release soon) and Bent98 made a HUGE effort to convert the b2s tables from toolbox to DOF, even a lot of tables didn't have toolbox and have DOF now

 

DOF has the capability to create and send non rom controlled events to Ledwiz, like ledwiztoolbox.vbs, except that once you modified your table script to create events, the mapping can be done on the directoutputconfig.ini (previously named ledcontrol.ini for ledcontrol.vbs)

 

It is relatively easy to create a DOF non rom controlled event, left flipper example:

 

If Enabled Then

Controller.B2SSetData 101,1

        'LedWSet LedW_LFlipper,LedW_LFlipper, 1, 0 'Enable Left Flipper Feedback Solenoid

        PlaySound "fx_flipperup1":LeftFlipper.RotateToEnd

        RotateLightsLeft

    Else

Controller.B2SSetData 101,0

        'LedWSet LedW_LFlipper,LedW_LFlipper, 0, 0 'Disable Left Flipper Feedback Solenoid

        tmp = LeftFlipper.Strength

        tmp2 = LeftFlipper.Recoil

        LeftFlipper.Strength = tmp * 8 'increase return strength to compensate for the slower speed

        LeftFlipper.Recoil = 0.1       'decrease the recoil to allow drop catches while the flippers are moving down

        PlaySound "fx_flipperdown":LeftFlipper.RotateToStart

        LeftFlipper.Strength = tmp     'back to normal

        LeftFlipper.Recoil = tmp2

    End If

 

the b2ssetdata allows to communicate with b2s.server and DOF, IF you have a E101 mapped on yor ini file, corresponding to the Controller.B2SSetData 101,1 (1 for ON, and 0 for OFF)

 

And this is what you need to put on the script in order for DOF to know that Scarface is a "rom" that can be available to the ini file

 

Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

Controller.B2SName = "Scarface"

Controller.Run

 

And here's my ini line according to my ledwiz configuration, world record of length

 

Scarface,E132 Blink fu500 fd550,ON,0,0,E103 60,E104 60,E105 60,E107 60/E118 120/E135 60,E101,E102/E108 60/E118 60/E123 60,E106 60,E109 60/E110 60/E111 60/E112 60/E121 60/E136 60,E134 60,E118 300/E119 300/E120 400 10/E123 300/E133 400 10/E134 300/E137 600 15,0,E122,E105 Magenta 120/E113 White 300/E114 White 300/E115 White 300/E116 White 300/E120 Magenta 1000 6/E128 Red m180/E137 Magenta 1500 20/E203 Magenta m180/E205 Yellow 120/E219 Red Blink 200/E223 White Blink 200,E103 Red 60/E112 Yellow 300/E120 Orange 1000 9/E129 Red m180/E137 Orange 1700 16/E201 Red m180/E206 Yellow 120/E109 Yellow 300/E214 Magenta 2000/E216 Red Blink 200/E217 Yellow Blink 200/E218 Red Blink 200/E220 Magenta Blink 200/E221 White Blink 200/E224 Ye,E106 Magenta 120/E112 Yellow 300/E120 Red 1000 6/E121 Red Blink 200/E133 Red 1000 6/E137 Red 1800 22/E207 Yellow 120/E110 Yellow 300/E217 Yellow Blink 200/E221 White Blink 200,E104 Red 60/E112 Yellow 300/E130 Red m180/E133 Orange 1000 9/E137 Orange 1700 16/E202 Red m180/E208 Yellow 120/E111 Yellow 300/E215 Red Blink 200/E217 Yellow Blink 200/E218 Red Blink 200/E221 White Blink 200/E224 Yellow Blink 200/E226 Red Blink 200,E107 Magenta 120/E126 Yellow 600/E131 Red m131/E133 Magenta 1000 6/E137 Magenta 1500 20/E204 Magenta m180/E209 Yellow 120/E210 Red 1000 8/E220 Red Blink 200/E225 Red Blink 200,E117 600 I32/E126 600 I32

Hi Angrim,

 

I've installed your table, but I get an error message at launch:

Line: 2337

Conversion from string "gameover" to type integrer is not valid.

 

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[arngrim]

I just tried the table again after having latest b2server and dof installed and i can't reproduce your issue.

 

do you have the latest version of these softwares? do you have removed or renamed ledcontrol.vbs? you have to

 

line 2337 is this one, 

 

' B2S *******************************************************************************

B2SCurrentFrame = frame

Controller.B2SSetData frame, 1

' B2S *******************************************************************************

 

and have nothing to do with my changes, are you able to run the non mod version : 

Scarface balls and power B2S LEDWIZ cabinet edition 1.0

 

you just need to change the line 

 

LedWActive=1

 

to 

 

LedWActive=0

 

to have the same version than mine, without any DOF events

 

if you can try that and see if you have the same problem?

 

 

[Pinball999]

Thanks Arngrim,

 

I have the latest server and DOF versions, but I now remember that I had issues to have the B2S LEDWIZ cabinet edition 1.0 running, and had to stick to the normal version.

I'll have another try with the instructions included with "B2S LEDWIZ cabinet edition 1.0".

 

Cheers!

[Mark4par]

Nothing but errors. I have other tables working with dof. Am I missing something.

[Herweh]

Come on, Mark, do you think it's easy to help when you write "nothing but errors". Give us more and exact infos and I'm sure someone is able to help.

[frans]

And if i want to rum the machine without B2S? Which lines have to delete? TKS.

[arngrim]

Then use that version, you will lose the ledwiz effects also

[frans]

ANGRIM, this version don´t work the music machine for me. Any ideas? TKS.

[arngrim]

what is the music machine??

[frans]

In the description says: Sounds and Music: hassanchop

[arngrim]

Did you download the music pack for that table on rhe download section?

[frans]

where are the link for this? TKS.

Thank you arngrim, i found. Thansk for your help.

[Slydog43]

I'm getting an error on line #77 with this table.  its the ledtoolbox line, which I thought should be remarked if DOF, but when I do that I still get errors.  (I have removed the toolbox from my system since I'm using DOF)

[arngrim]

And if you don't touch the script, it should work, toolbox code is there but deactivated so you can leave the script asis

[Slydog43]

ok I put back a copy of the toolkit 2.0 in my scripts folder and all is well again.  My idea was if I deleted the LedWizToolBox.vbs then no tables could use the "old" technology and I knew I would be using DOF, guess not.   Thanks for the help as this is one great table, especially with feedback

[arngrim]

but i don't have ledwiztoolbox on my cab anymore and i have no issue, on the script you have

 

LedWActive=0

 

means, that it won't be used, you can remove it.

[Slydog43]

very strange as I get an error if I don't have ledwiztoolbox.vbs in my scripts dir.  I do LedWActive=0 as I have D/L the table and made no changes.  Very Strange

[koadic]

Arngrim, are you absolutely sure you don't have the ledwiztoolbox file somewhere in your VP directory, whether it be the tables folder, scripts folder, etc...? The variable LedWActive isn't even initialized unless the toolbox is loaded, so you would get an error regardless of what it is set to.

To make the Scarface completely ledwiztoolbox independent while still providing the ability to use the ledwiztoolbox, there are many additional changes that need to be made to the script...

download removed, table was updated...

I only assume some legacy support was intended as many calls to the ledwiztoolbox were left uncommented, and the commented ones where done so for other reasons.
