ArkMalmeida Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Got the beta up and running on my cab and everything seems to be working great! Just for reference, I'm running a LEDwiz and an 8 port Sainsmart device. A have a few questions though: - for the Sainsmart device the new config tool named the control file ledcontrol40.ini Any reason for the 40? Not a big deal, but I had to change my global and cabinet config files to number the LEDwiz 40 instead of 2 to get it to work. Just curious more than anything else. - A general question about DOF configs. If there is a config setup for a table in the tool, does that mean that there is a corresponding DOF enabled table file out there somewhere, or are there some that haven't been officially released yet? For instance, I put the EM Big Brave on my cab and even though there is a config, the file I'm using doesn't seem to have DOF enabled. Thanks to Swisslizard and arngrim for all of your work on DOF. You've spoiled me to the point that it feels odd playing a table that doesn't have DOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted July 5, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 5, 2014 all the defined numbers are choosen in a way that you don't need to configure them in cabinet.xml, dof naturally launched first sainsmart with ini40, second with ini41, same goes for other controllers ans the choosen numbers. about dof configs, not sure if i understand the question, do you have dof running with tables like champion pub for example? for em table like big brave, you need the modded table that goes with it, don't know if it has been public somewhere, if you can't find it let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkMalmeida Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 all the defined numbers are choosen in a way that you don't need to configure them in cabinet.xml, dof naturally launched first sainsmart with ini40, second with ini41, same goes for other controllers ans the choosen numbers. Hmmm, I must not have my config set up the preferred way then. I tried to go without a config.xml, but couldn't get the Sainsmart to be found. Like I said, it's not a big deal at all now that I tweaked my setup to expect the sainsmart file to be named ledcontrol40.ini about dof configs, not sure if i understand the question, do you have dof running with tables like champion pub for example? for em table like big brave, you need the modded table that goes with it, don't know if it has been public somewhere, if you can't find it let me know Yes, DOF is running fine for all ROM controlled tables. Sorry the question wasn't clear. I was just wondering if there are modded EM tables out there for each of the EMs that have a configuration set up in the tool. In the case of Big Brave, I couldn't find the modded table so I was wondering if one actually existed but from your response I guess it does and I just didn't know where to look?

Content Provider arngrim Posted July 5, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 5, 2014 did you try that with dof 2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkMalmeida Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Yes, the latest beta. Next time I fire up the cabinet I can attach my global and cabinet xml files if you are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkMalmeida Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Like I said, it's all working well for me with the config files that I have, so I'm all set. I'll keep hitting different tables with the beta code to see that everything looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider swisslizard Posted July 7, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 7, 2014 Quick explanation: For the Sainsmart and compatible devices a cabinet config file is mandatory. Compared to the ledwiz or the devices from Ultimarc, the Sainsmart has no identifier which can be used the assign some kind of fixed number to it, but such a number is required for automatic configuration (otherwise DOF doesn't know which file to use for the config). Since the Sainsmart has only a serial of the USB interface chip, this mapping has to happen in the cabinet config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArkMalmeida Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Ah, that definitely makes sense due to the system needing the serial number. Thanks for the explaination! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spektre Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The Advanced DOF tool is a completely separate program. It contains greater customizations than the current LEDWiz Config tool. It is also open to anyone from the DOF team who wants to share it, but there is no magic in it. Arngim has already implemented the dimming in the current tool it seems.

dup3d Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hi, today i had some time to look into it a bit deeper an after creating a global + cabinet config i got the most things running. The dimming works like a charm with the new fading curves thx for that Now i only got a few errors in the log but i think it´s because i use the "old config tool" ini files eg something like this. i think when the new dof2 config tool is out and i can use the files these errors will go away. 2014.07.08 16:32:59.685 Warning: No DOF version information found in file C:\VisualPinball\Tables\directoutputconfig.ini. 2014.07.08 16:32:59.705 Warning: Cant parse the part Green of the ledcontrol table config setting S20 BlueS21 Green The Advanced DOF tool is a completely separate program.

Arngim has already implemented the dimming in the current tool it seems. yes seems so and for your tool i poorly can´t get it to run on my cab. there´s an error msg saying that the Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0 provider is not registred to my computer. seems like i´m missing something but i don´t want to install unnecessary thngs on my cab so i will test i again in an VM image Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted July 8, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 8, 2014 you must use tool beta with dof beta, for the parse error i will fix tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dup3d Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 k then i have to wait as i only have access to the DOF2 Beta but not to configtool beta or can i sign up somewhere for the tool beta ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted July 8, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 8, 2014 i can't locate the S20 BlueS21 Green, can you tell me which table you try to run to have that? or better, give me your ini file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spektre Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 The Advanced DOF Config tool requires that your PC can read MS Access databases. The documentation file included gives a link to the required download. For any further question, maybe head over to the Advanced release thread so it doesn't;t muddy the waters here.

Content Provider swisslizard Posted July 15, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 15, 2014 I dont think the random knocker isusue has any relation to zebs hardware. Its either a DOF problem or a issue in the ledwiz driver or in the ledwiz itself. Will try to find some time to dig into the ledwiz part of the DOF code again.
