Cactus Canyon Continued - Proc In Vp?

[HorsePin]

Did you even Download the update?? It says zero downloads

[arngrim]

yes i did

[arngrim]

the values are updated in the file, but the dmd is still in the initial position..

[CarnyPriest]

Hmm, I think I'm going to stick to my solution. However, I'm displaying DMD on a third screen. Nothing for the DMD to get lost behind.

[arngrim]

carny, 3 lines in my ahk for you, the less the better

[CarnyPriest]

I need the other stuff for my particular configuration. If you got it all working then it's all good.

[arngrim]

not yet good for 2 screen setup, i don't know if chepas is looking at it now

Haha you're joking right?

 

I spent a good 15-20 minutes adding it into the game earlier. I don't think you downloaded the edited post that I told you about with ^^^^^^.

 

You probably will have to make sure AHK is not doing any window management on pygame. I could not tell you if it works with PinballX but it basically removes the need for AHK to move the window to the front.

 

I have tested this and it's positioning more than once, so I'm putting it down to user error.

[arngrim]

ah you mean you edited the post with a second py file? sorry i didn't understand that way, let me check

[HorsePin]

Yes. The file hadn't been downloaded yet, which was mentioned earlier.

 

You need some Timmy Mallets> ?

[arngrim]

i don't always trust that, sorry dazz

[arngrim]

i confirm it &orks, thanks chepas

 

here's my setup for 2 screens

 

  Color Display Pixel Size: 8, Color Display X Offset: 2375, Color Display Y Offset: 817,

 

and the final exe to put at launch before, of the proc system in pinballx:

 

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ci6sq7do7vvecw9/proc.exe?dl=0

 

make sure you set it as admin

[arngrim]

ah, just launched evil dead in pinballx and i have the same issue there in fact, can you do the same trick for evildead?

[HorsePin]

Because you've probably removed the window management in AHK?

 

I have something to deal with any proc window & with pinballX, but I will need to find it.

[arngrim]

yes, i can try to add it again, but the ideal is that it is permanently on top, if possible

[HorsePin]

I will do it today for pinballX.

[arngrim]

thank you, just tried that

but it didn't &ork in one of the t&o shots

Try this, edit it or whatever you have to do.

 

Here it's fine with pinballX, directb2s.

 

There's 32/64 exes and it's ok just having AHK installed and running the .ahk direct from config.

[arngrim]

thanks, i will try.

i am tempted to replace the send enter by winclose, winclose works even when the window is not on top, any reason why you choose that way? just asking

[HorsePin]

Didn't know it was possible to close and load that way.

 

It's never failed sending keys. It will be a better way but the difference is really non existent in speed surely if it works anyway.

 

I don't need you coming back and saying it was faster by 0.1337.6969 Going to be minimal differences.

 

The only other thing you may not get is the big "CHUNG" sound , which would be nice without.

[arngrim]

well, that's what i had in my ahk, no need to put the window on top and send a key, just winclose, it is 100% reliable and for evil dead you sometimes even don't see vp loading, i will try both

[arngrim]

and i don't care about speed just don't want to press enter if windows is accidentally not on top, it b2s that makes it random

[SirCheddar]

Awesome job guys. I got Skeleton, JD, CCC and ED to work w/ PinballX. Piece of cake.

 

 

Ok ok just kidding. I'll better change my clothes they are all bloody from the goat I had to sacrifice.

 

One thing, on CCC after adding Horsey's game.py code I got a "local variable referenced before assignment" error message when running "python game.py".

I resolved this by declaring "game" as global.

def main():
    try:
        global game
        game = CCGame()
        game.run_loop()
    finally:
        del game

if __name__ == '__main__': main()

I just removed that line again so I can post the full error message here but the error stays gone :/

 

Whatever. Posting it anyway, perhaps somebody else gets the same problem while installing CCC.

 

 

Has somebody made a wheel logo for it yet? If not I'll put something together.

 

@Stefan Can you send me your modified dB2S?

[stefanaustria]

i am away, of course, tomorrow ...

also have a wheel image.

[SirCheddar]

Perfect, thanks
