cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Hello, I am in need of some help with DOF! I tested out my LEDWiz and all outputs are (pretty much) working, so I know that this is not a hardware issue with the LEDWiz. I am wondering if I don't have the "correct" ledwiz for my configuration? Any help is greatly appreciated. I am chopping at the bit to get this thing up and running...yes, it is a new install; I probably should have said that. Below is my log of DOF. Also, my DOF is running and active in the backglass server when I run my visual pinball tables. Thanks, Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 DirectOutput Logger initialized 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 DirectOutput Version 0.8.5307.1702 as of 2014.07.13 00:56 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 Global config loaded from: C:\DIRECTOUTPUT\GlobalConfig_B2SServer.xml 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 Loading Pinball parts 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 Loading cabinet 2015.08.23 21:55:24.086 No cabinet config file loaded.

outhere Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Did you recheck the files to make sure they stay unblocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 Yes, all of the DOF files are unblocked. Like I said, DOF is active and running in the b2sServer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Did you install dofr1 then r2? Looks like dll for ledwiz is missing or blocked in dof folder. Install r1 then r2 unblock all blah blah blah run as admin all blah blah blah and you should be good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I am pretty sure that I installed v2. And all of the files are unblocked, all the files in the DOF directory and I checked all the b2s server directory. All unblocked. I will re-install the DOF folder and unblock the files again but I am pretty sure that this is not the issue.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 I think I just installed v2. I've only had it installed for a few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You have to install version 1 first then install version 2 over the top of it because in version one you need to register the DOF So what I would do is take all your stuff you set up for a version 2 move it to another folder ..Then set-up version one in there then copy version 2 over the top of it and that will probably fix you up You may need to check for blocked files Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 OK, that managed to clear up my LED init error. I ran the AC/DC table and my flipper buttons were on (white) meaning that the ledwiz was firing (3) outputs. However, the rest of them were not working.

randr Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Looks better. What was the fix to help others. So what still don't work now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 24, 2015 Author Share Posted August 24, 2015 The fix was to install v1 then overwrite with v2 files. Make sure all DLL and EXE files are unblocked and the error went away. There were only 3 outputs firing though. It is almost like the game (AC/DC) did not know what was wired up; like the auto configuration failed. Correct me if I am wrong but the config tool (web) should set all of that up correct? I do have the Virtuapin Digital plunger with board installed so I am wondering if that is conflicting or DOF is not compatible with it? But 3 of the outputs were on...I don't know. I appreciate the help. Thanks,Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Try another table like Addams family do you get same result? Your plunger is fine it's compatible so may be other same issue? Try a Williams table and report results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted August 25, 2015 Content Provider Share Posted August 25, 2015 its using the DOF ini file in your tables folder. Is that your most recent version? Download the ini file just to be sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 randr, to answer your question: Addams Family nothing works... gtxjoe, no the DOF ini in my tables folder is not the current version; there may not even be one in there. When I downloaded the file using the config tool I put it in my DOF folder C:\DirectOutput. I will move it from the DirectOutput folder to my tables folder and try it. Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Sounds like you need to review the install doc again. Suggested install paths are a shortcut in tables folder to direct output folder. Then ini files go inside that in config folder. Don't really matter as global.xml will point to where they are and search the locations but I suggest you follow the default locations for the files.

outhere Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 This is how i have mine set-up Installation in own directory (Recommended) To avoid duplicate installations of the DirectOutput framework, the applications using the framework as a plugin can follow windows shortcuts to the directory containging DOF. To install DirectOutput like this, please do the following: Create a directory for you DirectOutput installtion (e.g. C:\DirectOutput). The name and the path to this directory can be anything you like, but it might be a clever idea to have DirectOutput in the directory name. Unzip the contents of the zip-file containg the framework to the newly created directory. If using platforms like Vista or Win7, the installed files might be blocked by UAC. To unblock the files please read: Unblock the DLLs To allow the hosting application (e.g. B2S.Server) to detect the DirectOutput framework, do the following: Go to the directory containing the files of the hosting application (For B2S.Server this is typically the VP tables folder). In this directory create a subdirectory named plugins. In the newly created plugins directory, create a windows shortcut pointing to the directory containg the DirectOutput framework. This can be done by right clicking in the plugins directory and selecting New -> Shortcut in the context menu. Example: A typical installation of the framework in its own directory might resemble the following file and directory structure: DirectOutput installtion in own directory Note: Depending on the DirectOutput framework version, more files might exist in the installation. If the framework is used with a B2S.Server installtion (which normaly reside in the VP table folder), you should have the following directory structure and shortcut (pointing to the directory containg the DirectOutput framework): Shortcut pinting to the DirectOutput installation directory Unblock the DLLsOn platforms like Win7 or Vista you might need to unblock the files of the DirectOutput framework, before it can be recognized by hosting applications (e.g. B2S.Server). Please exceute the following procedure for all dll and exe files of the DirectOutput installtion: Right click the DLL file and select Properties in the context menu. Select the General tab in the properties window. If you find the text _"This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer" or somthing similar on this tab, click the Unblock button. This should fix the issue. If the text about the file coming from another computer does not exist, everthing should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 25, 2015 Author Share Posted August 25, 2015 outhere, that is my set up as well (recommended). I think here where my confusion lies. The global config looks for an "xml" file for the cabinet config. However, the config tool on the web outputs a dll file for the Ports? Do I need to generate my own cabinet config file? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 No cabinet file for the Ledwiz needed .. There should be files that look something like this but you may have more than 2 directoutputconfig.ini directoutputconfig40.ini Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I have the directoutputconfig.ini - got that from the config tool. Never got the other file that you have listed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjpanici Posted August 28, 2015 Author Share Posted August 28, 2015 I do have a VirtuaPin digital plunger, and the control board has I/O on it. Could that be conflicting with the LedWiz in the autoconfiguration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjpanici Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 Yep. Actually, I had the directoutputconfig.ini in multiple locations trying to get things to work. Ok, I updated my global config and pointed the ini files path to C:\DirectOutput\config which is where my good directoutputconfig.ini was stored. ACDC was still barely working - meaning the flipper RGB LEDs were white color. However, I did fire up The Addams Family table, I got a ".directb2s not found error". I thought I was dead in the water, but I clicked on ok and started playing the table. Well, a lot of my "toys" started working. The flipper buttons were sticking and there was some lag time between when the bumpers hit and the solenoids fired. Then, I went and got a .directb2s file for the Addams Family table and things were much more smooth. So I know my DOF is working with my Addams Family table, however, none of my other tables are working. What am I missing? Thanks, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjpanici Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Update: So I downloaded one ACDC table that was made for DOF, and it did work! Hurray. I also have a question on the ACDC table...is there no ROM for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
