As promised I have been working pretty furiously over the last few days and have made more good progress! I figure I will make an alpha/beta available for early preview and/or testing Obvious things I know that are still outstanding (in the bad sense): Museum Multiball Intro Wasteland Multiball Cryprison Multiball [A handful of scenes are coloured] Demolition Time/wizard mode Capture Simon Double Crash award Williams logo/anti-graffiti spray thing (this appears in both attract and gameplay and I will need to be very clever) Match sequence (I have no idea how I will achieve this cleanly!) There may also be a few rare/hard to get or late game animations I haven't got to yet. But otherwise, I think a lot of scenes have been coloured, and at least in my own testing, appear to be showing as expected. That might look like a long list above, but things that ARE coloured include: General score stuff/text masks Fortress Multiball Common animations (eg. combos, bonus multiplier up) Retina Scan Car Chase Quick Freeze Ball Lock Comptuer [will rework this eventually to be more colourful!] Laser Millions ACMAG Mystery Award U Look GR8 2 Day! Explode Hurry Up And loads more not worth mentioning. See attached! EDIT: See later post below for more recent version Place the extracted files in the appropriate altcolor folder - I was using dm_lx4 but I guess the target rom isn't important, if the scenes are the same it will colour(?) One thing I do notice is that the timing is sometimes off or frames are skipped; for example, the ball save; in this sequence Sly's mouth is supposed to move - "Don't move" he exclaims - but when it fires it seems to skip those frames where his mouth is open; I tried to be clever with this sequence because there are a lot of repeated frames, so instead of colouring (for example) 150 frames in a sequence, I coloured 25 frames individually. Is this a wise approach? I will add that I did the same thing for the fortress multiball sequence, and it seems to display fine. ACMAG intro animation also suffers from this "skipped frames" issue, any one got any ideas? Or is this isolated to me? Feedback/comments welcome! PS: Stay away from double digit and 1/2 credits please [EDIT] I don't know why the preview GIFs don't work when I attach them to the forum :S So i put some here instead for those of you unable to play the table: https://imgur.com/a/JlduQ0m

So having spent some time earlier this year learning the ins and outs of the editor and playing with TNG, in the past few weeks I have been making a serious effort towards colourising one of my favourite games (and actually the first one I ever played in VPX!) - William's Demolition Man. I'm between 25-33% of the way through the scenes I have identified, but I am approaching this properly and have already mapped out all the frame #s for cutting and have got all the dumps I need (I think), it's really just a case of time and colouring now. Don't get too excited just yet, I don't know that I'm ready to release anything as a beta today, but hopefully using some free time in the coming week I can make some serious in roads and share something here. I hope the preview GIFs work :S On a side note, I am unable to download the latest version of PIN2DMD editor - Windows 10 Defender is refusing it and claims there is a virus, though I have not been able to find out any more detail as to what virus it thinks is there. I still have an older version, but I am missing the fixed hash generation!

Enjoy! TOTAN 1.1.zip If you like it and use it, feel invited to hit the tip button.

.12 Addition triggers for NUMEROUS animations , sequences, and palettes (way more to do, I need to do another capture) Added and colored missing big right arrow scene replaced "oops missed" scene with Kraang animation replaced "push button" scene with Baxter Stockman scene Added but havent redone "fight again" animation I do need to adjust colors a bit, they look a little washed out. I just got my colorization panel from dpannel , so I'll be hooking that up and checking shit out

Thanks! I have now covered and tested the Capture Simon mode and it will be included with the next release, perhaps in the next week or so (though I'm back to work tomorrow so progress will slow a bit) - I'd like to finish off all the multiball stuff before I push another version out, which would leave just the wizard mode and match to do. I have also gone back and redone a few scenes in light of Lucky's advice and fixed a few cases where sequences were firing again because of repeated hashes and those scenes are definitely much cleaner now - Sly talks again when he tells you "dont move"! I have also coloured my first cow animation so my life is now complete 👍

I loaded up my files into the new editor and seem to have lost all the custom palettes I had in slots 1 through 8 so they had to be redone https://drive.google.com/open?id=1UtVjBM2hh9bKb0iMDwU_Sp-R8pJEFwqu Fixed: Orange Belt was using Purple Belt palette Added Yellow Belt Palette Data East Sai Palette redone Recolored the frame with the turtle names and Multicrawl Changed "Turtle Smile" to Mikey instead of Don (this is the animation that plays when you hit the pop bumper with Mikey) This will get redrawn and matched 1 to 1 with framing/triggers Insert Coin recolored, will be cut down into 1 to 1 frame matching Changed Data East Pinball to GREEN Left ramp changed to yellow (since the left ramp is yellow) Right ramp changed to green (since the right ramp is green) I plan to go through and "black out" all the partial frames (see attached) and then just trigger everything with first full frame Im going to work on the intro first, May do frame redraws instead of just colored words.

@steve45 ok files updated. Redid the "Voltage" Scene too https://drive.google.com/open?id=1Eahyhp725Q4iqMN8E8A_1l-6-D7Xic6C Release Change Log: .09 So.Much.Done. Needs trigger work. Added 3 new captures by Steve and a tn of sequences clipped by Lucky Ball Locked Lock Lit redone Creature 2 Ball light up shoot NorthPole Replay 6 Ball advert redid 5 ball advert to match 6 ball Lynch Justine Danger Creature Multiball Active Gevena Completion Electrodes Extra Hand frame / Match 3 Voltage scene redone with some color cheating

Hi Malenko, Thanks for the nice feedback. Thanks for all the great colorization work you have done. I'm looking forward to seeing your next project!

Another update!!!! Triggered the "colored by Malenko" animation TMNT arcade intro plays pretty much every time now Pin2DMD splash is in there but needs extra triggers. Newly messed up: some intro word triggers look goofy I need another dump from the game for extra intro triggers and I need the free play screens ripped too (the one that says push button)

bumping this because my vpin is all put back together so I'll try to fix the triggers now and see why some stuff is getting triggered when it shouldnt, and most importantly, get my intro screen showing every time (the one with the building)

Thanks lucky; having looked at a few offending animations again I can see the same hash is appearing later in the sequence so it's a case of needing more break up, I will add these to my snagging list. I am using my own tool to analyse the DMD dumps to find duplicated frames and I obviously need to tweak it a little bit. I don't believe I have the facility to do a real pin export at this time as I don't have a license for the editor, but once the project is complete and if demand is high enough then that's probably something I would be willing to invest in. I have to choose my words carefully here - I can fully understand the pessimism; with the greatest possible respect to Steve, the editor UI is a bit "flakey" and not overly user friendly. The colouring part is easy, but the identification of key frames and hashes is a real pain, and this is made worse by the lack of some basic navigation features in the tool (frame forward/back shortcut!). Again I have the utmost respect for everyone involved, I even tried pulling the project down myself and seeing if there was anyway I could improve the UI myself, but I am not a Java developer, definitely not a Java forms developer, and I am here to add colour to my DMD not learn new development tools! In the end I wrote a really simple C# util that I use to analyse the DMD dumps, and given a sequence of frame#s it can tell me which frames are duplicated within that sequence, and therefore tells me where I need to cut up, which I can then copy to a spreadsheet as use as a guide when I'm working in the editor. Judging from lucky's comments, some of this is not working quite as well as I hoped as not all duplicate frames have been detected, but it's certainly useful enough that I can concentrate more on the colouring and less on the "where do I need to cut this sequence?" Now all I need is a better way of tracking and picking my masks efficiently so as to avoid masses of rework later if one of them changes, but at the minute I have only used 4 or 5 so am not at a stage where this is a must have... yet... But I can't leave it like that - thank you Steve for the Editor, despite what I've said if we didn't have it then we wouldn't have the ability to make any colour project at all, so thank you!

Its great to order something and get it a few days later. I really appreciate the fast shipping dpannell2

Updated the files with the latest. I dont mess with frame timing unless Im replacing animations, Ive never really paid attention to it otherwise. I believe a 0 makes it stay until another sequence gets triggered over it.I updated the files LATE last night, and the canister scene is colorized and plays *most* of the time. As for the eyes and the replacement seen....... I might replace the canister scene with the 4 turtles jumping out of the hole, and replace the eyes with shredder's eyes redraw. Thanks for testing! EDIT: Just had a GREAT game, 20m! That sbetter than I do on my real TMNT Scene's Im missing: Splinter...multiplier? Ive seen 1 2 and 4x with a crude rat picture Replay/Play Again screen of a plunger launching the ball 2nd frame of name entry Ive never captured from a vpin, I assume its the same as a real pin, just load up pin2dmd.exe and tick the record box; so I'll give that a go next. Another Edit: Shredder Eyes added Canister scene replaced by the 4 turtles that used to replace the eyes eyes should trigger during game

Absolute best approach. Keep in mind that a scene gets restarted every time a keyframe appears. Even within the scene. So either cut it into short sequences or even single frames.
