So ive got the doflinx enabled on pinball fx now  so that problem is fixed :

 

Can someone tell me the line i need to put in popper.., I think its the start up line to get doflinx to start with popper...

 

Another question is i know doflinx works as my solenoids work in game and  addressable led strips and back matrix work  on FX Games ...,

but when i load up a game all the cabinet button lights  all  go dead .. In popper just at the FX  wheel ,right before  loading up a game...., 

everthing is working like i set it up in doflinx config .. as soon as i start up the game,     the cabinet button lights  , flippers , start , extraball ie.... 

all go dark ..... 

 

Once i get these two things sorted im finally there.... Dof and Doflinx working  (like a nightmare turning into a dream come true)

There are so many really old videos about doflinx and FX3 

 

Im trying to get Doflinx working on Pinball FX ( Somone needs to make an updated Video )

Ive installed doflinx i have dof working , but no doflinx working when i open pinball fx on popper

 

Can someone help me with this... or point me to a updated video for Doflinx working with pinball FX

ive put the dll file in the pinball fx folder and it still shows disabled plugin on pinball fx 

 

So ive got the doflinx enabled on pinball fx now  so that problem is fixed :

 

 

The terryred sample .ini  has path for fx3 do i just change that for Fx or do i need another .ini file ??

 

and when i run doflinx i get this msg  :    doflinx critical error cant find colours file named c:\doflinx\config\colours.ini

 

anyone know what ive done wrong?? The video i was watching is 6 years old

Just setup DOFLinx to start at machine start as per the installation guide https://doflinx.gith...stallation.html

Ive done that Doflinx starts at cabinet start up... problem 1 solved ... Problem 2 is still not fixed ... when table loads the cabinet button lights dont work ... but led strips and matrix work so im guesiing its a configuration setup that ive messed up ? 

 yet just before i start the table cabinet button lights  work and i know its doflinx controlled as the fliper buttons are working and coloured just how i set them in doflinx...

Can you be more specific about what is not working as you expect please.  What table are you loading and what buttons do you expect to light up and when?

[rickjames1945]

hey thanks for the reply... i was using back to the future table for testing as thats the only table ive installed on FX.., basically start ,extra ball ,exit ,flippers ,coin  &2 

 

everything button wise does not light up once table has loaded... solenoids and led strips and back matrix work great.., just no button lights

[DDH69]

There are two types:

1.  Those controlled by a point in the game, ie pressing a flipper, magna save or nudge

2.  Those you want turned on

 

All require the button to be setup in your DOFLinx.ini file either manually or via DOFLinxConfig.  Below is a cut from my arcade machine (in the sample INIs)

 

####

# Setup the button details with mono and RGB LEDs

####

LINK_ST=2002,MONO

LINK_EB=2001,MONO

LINK_CN=2006,MONO,1005,MONO,1003,MONO

LINK_EX=2004,MONO

LINK_BUT_LF=3008,Cyan,A0

LINK_BUT_RF=3014,Cyan,A1

LINK_BUT_ML=3011,Lime,A2

LINK_BUT_MR=2012,Lime,A3

BUTTONS_LIT=BUT_LF,BUT_RF,BUT_ML,BUT_MR

 

You can see the lines to setup the buttons then at the end the buttons to light when a table starts.  If you wanted the Coin button on, just add BUT_CN to the list.  Unfortunately there is nothing that comes from Pinball FX to allow buttons like coin, extra ball, exit to turn on / off contextually.
