I'm using 1.12, but it seems, that it is not the lasteste display file... ! I did see the Daat east, first not colored, and then blocked... so frustating considering the time I spent on it... !

Hopefully it isn't too much to get it working on the latest display rom and also could explain why there is a few frames of just red instead of colour at the end of each scene. I will be ready to test whenever you have something new. Thanks for the ongoing work! That Data East coloured animation looks great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider dtatane Posted October 27, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted October 27, 2020 Thanks again @Terranigma for sharing the dump files.. I can move forward ! Attract mode has been changed to ColorMask Mode, and it should display "Tales from the crypt" with the right colors and continously. I've added the missing frames at the end of the skill shot sequence, displaying "skill shot" correctly. The fact is that my recording is definitely on the right ROM but for any reason, the sync is so different from real pin to vpin that I miss a lot of frames : - when it happens at the beginning of a sequence -> the color is not loaded correctly (it was the case in your dump with one DATA EAST logo in attract mode) - when the colors were displayed, there's almost 10% of additional frames on realpin due to sync issues -> the color sequence is not long enough and the last frames displayed are, therefore, not colored To correct that, I will switch as much sequences as possible to ReplaceSequence Mode, i already did : - data-east logo - skillshot - dynamite feature (general animation when we see the flame going from left to right to lit the TNT) Could you please give it a try and see if the red frames at the end of these sequences disappeared ? If so, I'll go on resetting all the hashes of the sequences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider Terranigma Posted October 27, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted October 27, 2020 No problem. I am just on my way out but I will quickly test the new build for you for those changes now. I will report back in a few minutes. Data East logo animation is still red. The next ones still get stuck. The finger for the push start animation also is stuck same as before. Tales from the crypt animation is GOOD! No red at the end now. This is all I can test right now but I will be back later.

olschool Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Due to the difficulty to change the sd card in real pin, I was waiting for an update, I wil try this one by the end of the week great job by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider NetzZwerg Posted October 28, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted October 28, 2020 To get rid of the sync problem it should help to split the scene into single frames and trigger them one by one, or use the layered color mask mode. With the single frame method you should also increase the delay time of each frame to maybe 500 or 1000. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always strip the table down to its basic components (No flashers, minimal lights , no large scale images or prims (unless they are called by the code) this ensures that the table is not putting a large strain on my PCs resources.

I can't imagine agood solution. I'll keep that scene at the very end to find solution to improve it + added additionnal frames I thought I recorded the last action hero scenes for you, if I missed them let me know and I can do them.

Content Provider dtatane Posted November 8, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted November 8, 2020 Yes, I did have all the scenes, I'm just missing a variation where you get action first, then, hero. I will have to record this one missing ! I've reset all keyframes for these sequences and all the variation. I couldn't find a solution to colorize world premiere using LCM, so I did a basic colorization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider dtatane Posted November 24, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted November 24, 2020 Hi @Terranigma, @Yopi has tried to update his realpin with the lastest file, but it seems the pin2dmd is stuck at the very beginning. Did you have the chance to test the lastest file on yours ? I've been spending some time converting the animations that were in "replace" Mode to "ReplaceSequence" Mode in order to have a better sync for the scenes, and hopefully get rid of the final frames that remain not colorized. Did you see any improvements ? Could you please also confirm if the "catch the red eye" countdown and "find benedict" countdown scenes are colored ?

Content Provider Terranigma Posted November 27, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted November 27, 2020 Sorry for the delay, I'm running the latest build you have uploaded for real pin. I will add to this list as I go through the parts. First off, great updates. I can see a lot of new stuff in terms of improvements and scenes. Thank you. Below are what I have found so far. - New issue - The initial words "Last Action Hero" animation now lag and look like they have dropped a lot of frames. - First Data East logo animation is still red. The next ones still get stuck besides the one before the DCS animation. - The DCS animation gets cut in half at the last frame - The finger for the push start animation also is stuck same as before. - Tales from the crypt animation is still good! No red at the end now. - Participate in local tournaments repeats at the end. - Don't Move animation, after he pulls back his gun a white square is left on the image. - Second run of the above and the Last Action Hero lag is not presenting and the DCS animation is ok. Not sure why. I am compiling a video now. - Find benedict scene has an initial scene but doesn't show a countdown. Just stays on "Shoot scoops to search for benedict" - Hitting the 3 eyes displays the correct scene but has a red frame at the end (Benedicts bonus boost) - Chicken Car animation seems to be frozen with just the image of the car - Wild Card animation doesn't look to be coloured. - Balls Draining animation not coloured? and has the red frame in between - Scene with person holding a ball just has RA L letters - Next Ramp 10 million running animation doesn't look fully coloured and some red frames in between - M-Ball ready animation with cars, red frame appears when the 2 men with the machine gun and dynamite in hand are shown - The Word "Match" at the end has a frame of red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yopi Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Hi all I tested the new files (I am in French rom) and the problems are : - no animation for logo data east - when you have the scene with the helicopter there is always a red mask at the end - the scene with Bénédicte the dog remains blocked on the screen - the chicken scene remains frozen (before it worked well) - the ripper scene remains frozen (before it worked well) I only noticed that because I didn't play much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
