Re-installed FP last week and staring from scratch.  FP is stable and I'm learning how to add/move DMDs.

Finished reading "Future Pinball 3 Monitor Cab w/ Virtual Movable DMD in Future Pinball" this afternoon  (335 posts, yikes!!)

and  "FutureDMD + segment displays score reflection"

which instructed to:

 

Add a standard DMD on the Translite and move it off screen.  Name it "MyDMD" obviously without putting quotation marks in the name

 

Go into the script of the table

 

Under starred section for "Supporting Score Functions" paste the following into Case 1:

 

MyDMD.Text = "[edge3][f6][xc][y6]" & FormatNumber(nvScore(CurrentPlayer), 0, -1, 0, -1) & "[f1][x2][y25]BALL: " & (BallsRemaining(CurrentPlayer)) & "[x82][y25]CREDIT: "& nvCredits & "[x52][y25]P: " & currentplayer

 

I searched the script and  found "Supporting Score Functions", but no reference to  Case 1.

 

Help would be greatly appreciated and please be simple & kind.  I'm a Script NOOB, but I follow directions well.

 

Thanks!

 

Would this be a similar process for other Blindmankind tables?  (3 Angels & Road Girls)

Thanks Outhere, I actually found, printed, and read that post yesterday.

As I said, I'm a bit of a NOOB and was hoping for a simpler solution, given these are more common tables.
I was hoping to not have to re-create the wheel, but I will give it a try.

 

If there is a proven solution, I'd greatly appreciate any information.

I've used it several times but you really have to pay attention to detail or you'll miss something
It's not as hard as it looks after you do a couple it's Pretty easy

My apologies in advance for replying to such an old thread :)

 

I am trying to get the DMD working (FullDMD - 3 screen cabinet) in Dead Hunters and cannot figure it out.  From research, the 'MyDMD' line entry to add to the script needs to be placed within Case 1 but, as already mentioned, there is no Case 1 within the 'Supporting Score Functions" for this table. 

 

If anyone can provide more detailed instructions that would be fantastic as I would love to play this table but not being able to see any sort of DMD/score ruins the experience - thanks in advance!!!
