Guys, any ideas why Lucky's .pal & .vni files cause weird glitches in between transitions? 

 I did try vbobrusev's update, which does not glitch, however, there is one row of missing dots off the bottom, which just looks wrong.

All other colorized tables I've tried work for me. I'm just having trouble with this.

Tried Freezy's 1.71 & 1.73  by thw way (both the same result).

The glitch lasts for exactly 2 key frames between SOME (not all) animations/transitions.  It's like there should be a black gap, but isn't if that makes sense? 

Also tried 2 different PC's (Win 7 & Win 10).

@vbobrusev

It seems like you are no longer able to receive PM's on the forum - could you let me know the process for buying the real pin files of your awesome colouristion pack? Have a pin2dmd arriving next week and very keen to have this on a real machine

 

Thanks

I am cleaned my messages, now you can contact me @pudd1nG

Hey @vbobrusev - I ended up contacting you via the website and got your files, thanks for that!

I got my pin2dmd today and it's running v3.05 - i dropped in the files provided but a few animations / frames seem a bit strange. 

Forgive me if it's all still being worked out, but I hadn't seen it mentioned. Example below:

There seems to be a red box over part of the high score 3 & 4 display. Some other frames also seem bugged in similar ways and colours all a bit off.

I am using the home rom for attack from mars, perhaps that is an issue? 

Appreciate all your work and your support  The parts that seem to be working look incredible.

Maybe he needs to adjust the palette to the newer firmware. As far as I know his colorization was done before color correction was introduced.

 

[pudd1nG 40]

Hopefully that's something reasonably straightforward to do as most home owners of AFM use the updated home rom - a big reason is it reduces the pop bumper strength which, in nicely waxed games caused quickly broken jets and plastics.

How stable is Freezy v1.7.3 and where can we find the files? I know there were issues with 1.7.2 and the Pinup system. The files above link to a script but I don't see the .dll and any other files needed to update from 1.7.1. Freezy's GitHub page has files up through v1.7.2.

Thanks.

Hi

I'm using AFM 1.13 on a real pinball (original Bally pin) with the same files, I believe .  I get the same artifact on the HS table.  It depends on how it's being triggered.  In attract mode if you press the flipper buttons, sometimes it's white only and other times it has the red box as you have shown.  So it's a Mask issue.

In the video  posted at the start of the thread, the game is running 1.0 ROMs  - almost every AFM owner I know is running the version 1.13 ( free play ) or 1.13b (coin play).

As we don't have the source files, only the .fsq and .pal it's not something I would  know how to go in and change.   My understanding is that you need the original Project Files (.xml)_to be able to make changes and generate the new Pin2DMD keyframe and colorisation files.

But hey- the colorisation is pretty good overall.   There's a few scene glitches and things I would change...

It's good enough that I took my ColorDMD out of AFM and put it in my LoTR as there isn't any good Pin2DMD files for that pin.  Probably will be some day- but it still may not be as good as the ColorDMD solution.  imho

Have also got the text clipping/dull lines on the Game Over and say no to drugs screen, also have the issue with the high scores being white or having the green/red parts over it.

I have sent  vbobrusev some additional pictures of the issues and he said he will look into it. 

It would be great to get an update about the Rom 1.13 version questions as well.

Thanks for your time and work.

will check it and try to fix it.

Whats firmware version are you using? on mine Numbers 3 and 4 have four black dots from left side of display. on your looks like 1-2. This is a reason why it's not colorized this scene.
