Once released for download DOFLinx V6 will be available here.

 

The main feature of DOFLinx version 6 is full force feedback support for FX3.  A huge thanks to gigalula for his very clever key input to the process.

 

The release notes are:

- Fix Xbox controller making the X and Y buttons work

- Add support for FX3 full force feedback

- Have DOFLinx recognise games as selected from the grid, not just from menu launch such as PinballX.  so still works as per FX2, but has new capability.

- Default support (ie flippers, bumper and slings) for all games

- Full support for Son of Zeus, Adventure Land, Aliens and Mars

A HUGE THANKS TO GIGALULA FOR HIS INPUT !!!

.... a lot of FX3 config files and B2S still to come!

 

Just like FX2, Pinball FX3 full force feedback via DOFLinx will require a configuration file per table.  These are known as FX3 files.  With the release package comes 5 of these files.  Four specific games (Mars, Aliens, Son of Zeus and Adventure Land).  The fifth is a default.fx3 which will give flippers, 3 x nudge, slings and bumpers for all other games.

 

The remainder of the FX3 files will be released by me as I make them.  Hopefully a lot of them very soon over the Christmas break.  Most will be adaptations of the previous FX2 files.  Installing these is as simple as copying them to the folder with your other FX3 files.

 

DOFLinx will continue to run FX2 full force feedback.  There were some more advanced parts, such as B2S and MX LEDs for some tables that were not done when FX3 came along.  While anyone could update their own FX2 files (its documented in the DOFLinx guide), I will only be working on FX3.  Happy to answer any questions and help if you take it on.

 

Here is the summary version of how to get V6 and Pinball FX3 full force feedback up and running.

• Add “Pinball FX3” (no quotes) to your PROCESSES= line in DOFLinx.INI
• Add the last 5 GAME_COLOUR= lines from the supplied DOFLinx.INI to your DOFLinx.INI for the 5 new FX3 games
• Install the new EXE file
• Create a folder for the FX3 files and copy them into it
• Add PATH_FX3= to your DOFLinx.INI to point to your folder containing the FX3 files
• Add PATH_FX3_B2S= to your DOFLinx.INI – While this can be a separate folder to PATH_FX2_B2S=, I have mine pointing to the same spot as the B2S files are mostly common.  This saves on duplicate copies of the files.

 

In a similar way to FX2 with B2S back glasses, in our testing of FX3, some focus issues have been discovered.  There is little I can do about these as it’s an interaction issue primarily with FX3.  The good news though, is that DOFLinx now detects the game name as you select a game from the grid (as well as if you start it from PinballX , etc).  This means the B2S wstarting up will not impact application focus.

 

Have fun, enjoy Pinball FX3, and start up a new thread for any help required or issues found.

Yes have it running and finally also solenoids feedback with FX3.

GREAT WORK, HUGE THANKS.

 

At this moment i only don't see addressable leds effects. In your video it worked.

Do i miss something, can i configure it myself or is it still work in progress?

[DDH69]

The addressable LEDs require an update to your directoutput30.ini via your configuration tool.  I'm going to check, but I'm not sure if those changes have been released to the public version as yet.  If not now, it will be very soon as I've submitted them.

Thanks for this DDH69!  This is my first time setting up DOFLinx,

 

I have everything setup, but for some reason this line causes mine to crash -

 

LINK_SR=114,ON,0

 

 

 

If someone could spot check my config, that would be fantastic!

Add ,255 to the end of your LINK_SR= line for the intensity setting and see how you go.
