Pinballuser Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I still don't fully understand the editor program but I'm making progress I'm sure their are multiple problems. problems I don't know about, can someone point them out to me so that I can fix them. things I know how to do ( have done) 1. dumped a rom recording 2. imported animation into the editor 3. bookmarked each individual scene in the recording (ignoring duplicates scenes) 4. created a pallet profile for each bookmarked scene (text only scenes are using the default profile) 5.added a pallet switch to each bookmarked scene 6. cut each individual scene for coloring. 7. colored a few of the cut scenes. 8. this recording only has 1 dynamic scene "Replay". I added a mask over the numbers https://mega.nz/#!g4cEGaxI!JyRvUvL9gQiF526PtcdbKPhkOXU7iuqThexuuXEpvHQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 13, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted January 13, 2018 You should use "Add ColorScene switch" to playback a scene instead of "Add PaletteSwitch" which only changes the palette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted January 13, 2018 Author Share Posted January 13, 2018 thanks that worked I was able to export a pal file now. One question in this project, I have 3 scenes with the same hash tag. Spelling Family Candy Spelling Family Tori Spelling Family Randy I created a color scene switch for the first scene in the time line Spelling family Candy. I"m assuming the other 2 scenes will switch to the same pallet profile even though I can't create an individual switch for the other 2 scenes. for this case I can use the same pallet profile for each scene. what would I need to do if I wanted to assign a scene switch to scenes with identical tags? edit I was able to export a pal file for a virt pin but only one of my scenes seems to be switching to the correct pallet --> Data East logo scenes the rest seem to be using the default 4 color pallet. most scenes have been colored https://mega.nz/#!U8dGUSQC!sbtrnf_FGnk_9zY9UQrFBddzZ48_KmnO1zn_xb7sGpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question in this project, I have 3 scenes with the same hash tag. Spelling Family Candy Spelling Family Tori Spelling Family Randy You have to split the scene into parts. Onewith the Spelling Family only and then 3 different scenes for the names starting from the next frame. Why do you use layered ColMask for that scene ? You should have a look at the projects that are working fine like StreetFighter II from Malenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 their are 4 completely different scenes labeled Spelling family Spelling Family Candy Tori Randy Spelling Family Candy Spelling Family Tori Spelling Family Randy "Spelling Family Candy Tori Randy" is fine but I probably should of made a Spelling Family tittle screen scene, and made news scenes where the "Flash" starts to scroll through the images for the other 3 scenes (Candy Tory Randy). this would of given me different hashes. I download multiple projects but, I got errors when I tried to open them in the latest editor. I'm actually using the "replacement" method for most if not all the scenes. on this project. In most cases I just had to change the color on the pallet to match the color scheme I wanted. this is going to sound like a dumb question but I seen to be stuck. I was planning on working on multiple projects. and I do not plan to spend $100+ to have a Pin2DMD set up contented to my desktop PC to view my progress. I was under the impression that the Pal and Vin full color projects worked on Freezys dll. because of the few Sam colored roms that work great on it. Especially Avengers. I know my project is changing scenes/pallets when I run in on freezys dll. but its only using 4 colors. its not using the full 16 color pallets or the replacement scenes. I thought their was something wrong with my project ( their might be). but I ran the current active WIP projects Star Wars Party Zone and I had the same problem. I ran the finished projects T2 and SPP. and I had the same problem. I can only see 4 colors for each scene. so the question is Do full color projects work on Freezys dll. or do I have a bad install.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 17, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted January 17, 2018 Freezy's DLL currently does not support vpin exports of the editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted January 19, 2018 Author Share Posted January 19, 2018 bummer I was hoping to color TMNT and Checkpoint, run them on Freezys DLL and modify my dB2s file to display the bonus lights on the Pin2DMD device. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
