DMD customisation

[sandman084]

Hi all, Just played Breakind Bad_VP Cooks_Haunt_ED_v1.01 and I got to thinking..... The DMD incorporated on the playfield screen .... How can I adjust position, size, colour, to suit my Tastes? So... looked in Script... nothing... Tried F1 key ... nothing... so is it possible to make any changes to these DMD's as other tables for example Ghostbusters have similar  positioning etc, without incurring the wrath of those who create these masterpieces of art and entertainment? So if it is a package deal with the table and set in stone please advise and Can these tables be accessed to change number of balls from 3 to 5.... none of the usual keys seem to function to modify the programming parameters.

 

Looking forward to the replys.....

You didn't indicate if you are interested in Future Pinball or not.  It is pretty easy to change the DMD base color in the FP editor.  You can move the DMDs around just by unlocking them and using your mouse, although the DMDs on backboxes tend to be placed in a dedicated location so they don't block the view of graphics.  Resizing is a bit more problematic.  The Hud DMD can be easily resized somewhat.  The backbox DMD does not have the resizing option like is on the Hud DMD.  The backbox DMD has a few options under "Type" for different sizes.  There is a little used option for a 192x64 DMD.  Unfortunately, changing a table to use 192x64 requires recoding the DMD script which you probably won't want to do. 

 

Most tables have the script "nvBallsPerGame" where you can change balls per game (there are a few exceptions).  If you want to play my table modifications, I always provide an option to change balls per game.  You appear to be interested in being able to make changes.  My recent tables have a menu system where you can change 50 different parameters while you play a game.  I provide color DMDs on the recent tables also.  My most recent table is linked below.  It has a DMD that displays the menu system on the playfield apron that you might be interested in which uses a hologram DMD.
