Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 7, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 7, 2018 I don´t know wether true color live preview of recordings is supported in the editor at all. Please try to cut a scene (mark start - mark end - cut) from the recording and test if live preview of that works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockdude233 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 I am having some problems with the new editor version. The keyframe preview cuts off about 1/4 of the right side of the frame. Also, I get an error when I ctrl-click on a palette color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockdude233 Posted February 11, 2018 Share Posted February 11, 2018 I don't get what the purpose of Frame+ and Frame- is. Anyone use them? Can 2 or more scenes be joined into one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 11, 2018 Frames + is for adding frames to a scene. Joining scenes is not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you ctrl+click a color you get the error and can’t pick a color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that would screw up the timing of the scene when it plays on the pinball machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 11, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 11, 2018 e.g. for replacement scenes used for rethemeing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should I try to key it on the Pinball and see if it works in a real machine? I’m confused if this is even an option or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 13, 2018 You can key it or use it as startup video when you name it boot.fsq and place it on the SD card. To get the boot.fsq you need to assign a dummy keyframe to the scene and export for real pin. pal file is not needed for boot.fsq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said you can “key” it, do you mean you can set a keyframe to trigger the animation just the same as any other colorized scene? I will try that.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 13, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 13, 2018 You can try the boot.fsq from the tools folder on github https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/blob/master/tools/latest/boot.fsq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 same error here when I try to use the color picker in the latest release reason ---> java.lang.NullPointerException link to error details https://pastebin.com/gWBhRjJE error does not happen if I use the editor version posted above this post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc02002 Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Ok I’m having difficulty please help. If I am coloring a colmask scene, sometimes I click to the next frame in the scene and then back to the one I was coloring, and some of my color masking work is gone. Some of it is there, it is not consistent. Is there a button that accepts the color mask changes you make? I’ve tried like 3 times to color this one frame and some stuff remains and other stuff doesn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 17, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 17, 2018 Please make sure the scene you edit is marked in the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure I’m doing it correctly because it works sometimes and I have the scene displaying in my machine now too. Just many times I will click to the next frame then back to the previous frame only to see my work partially gone. I’ve been clicking the pal button under the scenes then saving the project after each frame and that has seemed to help not lose stuff but it still happens sometimes. I can’t be the only one having this problem as it is pretty repeatable. I’ve probably lost half of the time I’ve spent due to this although my repeated saving has helped. Also I think it’s more problematic with live preview turned on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjc02002 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 It does it without live preview as well. I have attached a video so you can see exactly what the problem is. B42998D1-3C6B-47D1-BF45-27122C66A0AD.MOV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 19, 2018 OK. You click on the scrollbar. I always click on the arrow buttons to get to the next frame and save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc02002 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just now, lucky1 said: OK. You click on the scrollbar. I always click on the arrow buttons to get to the next frame and save Yeah the scroll bar is the problem. I don’t mean to click on it but sometimes it’s by accident. Like if the mouse is in that area and I scroll the mouse wheel it moves frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc02002 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is there any problem taking a colmask scene and just making it a replace scene? I see you get a warning. I colored a scene with colmask and now I’m finding that it’s difficult to get proper timing and there is no dynamic content in the scene so I want it to just be a replace scene instead. Is it just as simple as changing it in the drop down menu? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I edit replacement scenes exactly that way to make sure I don´t delete / overwrite original content accidentially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 out of curiosity but is their a setting I'm missing I watched Steves pin2dmd editor Chapter 2/3 tutorial on YouTube. and when he uses the color mask; the correct colors show up in the replacement scenes. when I do it. TOP S= colors from group 1 CORE = colors from group 2 Numbers = colors from group 3 I want TOP SCORE to be in RED, and the numbers to be WHITE, but the color stays white when I try to use the red color Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 19, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 19, 2018 You need to define the 4th color in the group as red to achieve this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
