Once released for download the new version will be available here.

 

Three things really in this new release;

1. Some code tidy up which will help as Steam change versions .... yeah, yeah, so what

2. A few new FX3 files making Ironman, Pasha and Epic Quest even better ........ not bad, sort of interesting

3. If you have a Pinscape and FX3, the ability to shove your cabinet and get nudge into FX3 games ........ now this is more pinball like !

 

The guide has details of all of the new settings for nudge and joystick offsets, so have a look there.  The short version for those that hate the manual .....

 

• Make sure you have your Pinscape nudge setup properly as a joystick (read the Pinscape setup help for that if you don't already have it for VPX)
• Add JOY_PORT= to your DOFLinx.ini - most will be JOY_PORT=1 for the first joystick port
• Start DOFLinx in DEBUG and right click to the "Test Joy Stick" option
• With the cabinet still, get your offset
• Now try some values in the three boxes and nudge your cabinet.  Stick with the values that bring up the appropriate "NUDGE" indicator.  Note down all of the values.
• Add those values to JOY_X_OFFSET, JOY_RIGHT_OFFSET, FX_LEFT_NUDGE_POINT, FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_POINT, FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_POINT in your DOFLinx.INI
• Change your FX3 nudge keys away from L-Ctrl and R-Ctrl (Space is OK for forward nudge), I suggest "L" and "R"
• Add the keys you setup for FX3 nudge to your DOFLinx.INI - FX_LEFT_NUDGE_KEY, FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_KEY, FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_KEY
• Optionally, if like me you have a second set of magna save buttons set to L-Ctrl and R-Ctrl that you use for button based nudge and in your menu and other emulators and don't wish to set those to "L" and "R" then setup the FX_LEFT_INPUT and FX_RIGHT_INPUT parameters that will detect those and hence use both button based and accelerometer nudge for FX3.

 

Have a look in the sample INI folder at my INI if you want to see it setup as above.  Of course you will need your own offsets and nudge points.

 

I have sore hips after testing this release! As always .... enjoy.

 

 

 

The release notes are:

 

V6.40 19/8/18

- Tidy up the code around determining which FX3.EXE is running and cater for older versions (from now, not retrospective) should someone keep one of these

- Add using Pinscape (joystick) analogue nudge to trigger FX3 Left, Right and Forward nudge

  JOY_PORT=    (1 is the first port)

  JOY_X_OFFSET=

  JOY_Y_OFFSET=

  FX_LEFT_NUDGE_POINT=

  FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_POINT=

  FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_POINT=

  FX_LEFT_NUDGE_KEY=

  FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_KEY=

  FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_KEY=

  FX_LEFT_NUDGE_INPUT=

  FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_INPUT=

  FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_INPUT=

- Add test functionality to test and get trigger values for Pinscape accelerometer (joystick) - Test Joy Stick

  With no movement use "Get Offset" to find the resting position

  Nudge your cabinet and look at the min / max values and decide on your trigger points

  Nudge again and see if you trigger the L / R / F points

  Reset and repeat until you get some values you are happy with

- New FX files for EpicQuest, IronMan and Pasha

Thanks to TerryRed for some additional FX3_PUPlayer files for ElDorado, EpicQuest, Ironman and Pasha.  I've attached the entire set to this post and will of course include them in future releases.

Hi DDH69, works perfect. It is awsome to play FX3 with nudge. Thank you!

[DDH69]

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm still getting the nudge forward parameter to where I like it on my machine.

Will this stuff be able to be updated to support the Bally/Williams FX3 tables?  Maybe Zen can incorporate DOF directly, but just in case it would be nice to know that there are options out there.  Thanks for all your hard work.

I believe so.  I started a thread with my current thoughts last night in the DOFLinx General Discussion forum (I'm at work and can't copy links into Explorer so can't provide a link right now)

DDH69... Where can I find a list of what keys relate to 4C, 52, 20, A2 & A3 for example please?

 

Reading your guide, I gather A2 is "L", "A3" is "R" and 52 is "SPACE", but a list would be really helpful. 

 

FX_LEFT_NUDGE_KEY=4C

FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_KEY=52

FX_FORWARD_NUDGE_KEY=20

FX_LEFT_NUDGE_INPUT=A2

FX_RIGHT_NUDGE_INPUT=A3

[DDH69]

Here is the list https://docs.microso...rtual-key-codes

 

Its referenced in the DOFLinx guide if you need to find it again.
