jaharr01 Posted September 6, 2014 Share Posted September 6, 2014 Hey guys, I have tried to install DOF several times. I am out of town at present and can't be in front of my pincab. My setup is this A8 with windows 8 I have 3 screens, I have everything working ok including VP and direct b2s. The LED wiz is wired and works properly. I don't have legacy or any other led wiz software working on the computer. I first went to the DOF config tool and setup my ports and attached is my directoutputconfig file. The first time I set it up I got it working but then I changed something and it removed my active backglasses. So I deleted it all and set it up again. Then on this go around my table wouldn't start but the flashers and buttons would light up like it did when it worked the first time I got it set up. the third time I set it up I tried to configure it manually with no luck. I think that may have been because I don't have a cabinet configuration set up. Do I need the directoutputconfig file to get the auto configure to work? This is how I set it up. 1. I unzipped the DOF into the plugin folder. 2 I unblocked all the DLL files 3. I placed the directoutputconfig file in my tables folder 4 The plugins on the b2s backglass was checked already I tried to follow all the steps as best I could. To note I have a couple of b2s tables that I couldn't get working like ACDC and attack from mars which had a .net error and shut the table down. I don't know if this may be one of the issues or not, but i have .net 4.0 on the computer. Originally when I had set b2s I had some monitor naming issues but it all seems to be working ok now. I would like to get this setup my wife is going to murder me if I don't. She is tired of me having me work on it all the time. Thanks, Jay directoutputconfig.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Nothing goes in table folder but a folder named "plugins" inside that make a shortcut to the "c:\directoutput" folder inside direct output folder make a "config" folder and place your dof online configs in that. Resister dof and make sure you have latest b2s server 1.3 install that in the tables folder as usual and register that making sure all unblocked and run as admin like everything else. You also need to modify your core.vbs file per dof instructions. Tell your wife to get used to it...you will spend more time adding things then actually playing it!

jaharr01 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Well if she wouldn't bitch about that she would bitch about something else. I did the shortcut thing. I may have missed a step I'll check. I didn't modify the core vbs I'll double check that. Also I may have missed the confit file. Anyway I'll be back home on Monday I'll check then. Hey since DOF only works on visual pinball. It wouldn't interfere with an LED software setup like blinky or FP launch? I don't want to make software conflicts, Thanks a bunch for your quick reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 If you didn't mod core.vbs it will not work. Dof wil not conflict with anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 7, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted September 7, 2014 what mod of core.vbs r u talking about? just rename the ledcontrol.vbs or remove is enough, latest 3.43 is fine asis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 Visual Pinball core.vbs Adjustment If you have used the VBScript solution to control your LedWiz before you will have to REMOVE the line loading ledcontrol.vbs from your core.vbs. Depending on your version of core.vbs this line might looks like one of the following two: ExecuteGlobal GetTextFile("ledcontrol.vbs") LoadScript("ledcontrol.vbs"):Err.Clear If you dont remove the mentioned statement you'll run into trouble since the framework and the ledcontrol.vbs solutions will run simultaneously! Also you do need to install DOFr1 first as r2 is missing registration exe... have seen this be a issue a few times maybe swisslizard can include that with r3?

jaharr01 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 well that is my problem most likely I just installed R2 without R1 I'll do this: 1.install R1 then R2 with shortcut to plugins folder in table folder 2. change the lines in core vbs 3. register and unblock I should be good to go right?

jaharr01 Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Hey one more thing, Randr I see you use pinballx. did you have trouble setting up Leds to flash buttons and etc in pinballx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted September 7, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted September 7, 2014 you can install r2 directly for the core.vbs, or you remove the line LoadScript("ledcontrol.vbs"):Err.Clear ' Checks for existance of ledcontrol.vbs and loads it if found, if found but no ledwiz installed, clear error to allow loading of table or you just remove the ledcontrol.vbs, then no need to touch the core.vbs, like i did, you won't go backwards once you will have dof working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randr Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 R2 does not include registration exe for dof framework. At least when I download it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
