Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 22, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted June 22, 2018 Source files for a WIP is here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/pin2dmd-colorization-of-world-cup-94/page/2#post-4305538 which means that the editor is needed to build the output needed for VPin or the real machine. I don't know how much has been completed. Thanks to @malenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider malenko Posted June 22, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted June 22, 2018 a lot was done, but I got tired of hearing shit from fans of a different platform. So the files are up and someone else should try to finish it cause I never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 22, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 22, 2018 Sorry to hear that. With freezy's dmdevice.dll now fully supporting output from the Pin2DMD editor, that opens things up for users who don't use real DMD hardware. Maybe somebody from this group will step up and finish this off. Again, that other platform will never serve the VPin community. Don't waste your time waiting. They've been quite clear on this. Pin2DMD is it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are always people who post things that might frustrate and discourage you but be aware of the fact that they are the minority and mostly only a hand full. The funny thing is that this hand full of people can give you the impression of beeing the majority by posting their shit again and again. They do this either out of personal (financial) interest or they are just in desperate need of attention, which they often don´t get in the real world but unfortunatelly do get in the virtual world. You can identify both groups easily. The first promote (their) products and the second have a unusal high number of (senseless) posts. Just ignore them both. Makes life much easier. You did an awesome job on your colorizations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You did an awesome job on your colorizations. Well said, I second this Malenko.... observing your colorizations and works are what got me interested in trying to do my own. I hope to see you continue your work!

DJRobX Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I've put quite a bit of work into the WCS colorization; I think it's starting to come together pretty well. Thank you for sharing your project files Malenko, very inspirational work that you do! Just about all of the scenes Malenko colored are keyframed and I've done a whole bunch of others, it's pretty playable now. Here is the VNI+PAL if you want to give it a spin: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TSATRWXJHxkcAOF75MmtrqHPJzpOXveN/view?usp=sharing And here's my updated project https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AkRUbvlG8K0eGQGjyDaDT4ndAdMBidUF/view?usp=sharing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Holy crap. You are simply amazing Rob. You just continue to give and give. Of course - this shout out goes to Malenko as well. Thank you soo much both of you !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRobX Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I've updated it again... Same links. I connected Shoot Again to Malenko's colorization (lost my keyframe somewhere...lol), and I colorized the Jackpot sequence, tickets, and some other things.

I'm a big fan of anything "open source". I think it's important to share the source projects, they can help others learn to do this too. I also really hate the thought of someone needing to re-invent the wheel to make improvements if people are so motivated to. I've shared another update. Played many games last night, while there's still lots that can be improved there's not too much left that's egregiously bad. I added more static screens (mainly done to stop bleeding from other sequences, but it does look nicer), and the finale sequence has some basic colorizing done. I did the finale somewhat quickly so it's a mediocre coloring, but at least it's there if someone wants to improve on it. Some things left (although I'm not sure when or if I'll get to them) 1) "Find Striker" sequences need to be captured and colored. 2) I did the B-I-G letters in a generic way. To look good it will need to be broken up into more parts to work right when Striker crosses the board (keyframing will be tricky....) 3) Destiantion city values sometimes overlay the cityscape. I've tried to minimize the impact of this but to do it properly each destination value frame will need to be captured and properly colored. 4) More static screens 5) Maybe re-doing some static palettes with more theme-consistent coloring, I'm using a lot of red/white/blue but the game is more yellow/teal/purple. 6) Maybe?? There's some discussion from Lucky1 about new color layer masks for coloring sprites in video modes ... I believe this is seen as L-mask in the editor. I have to learn how it works, and it's TBD if this may be useful to help coloring the fireworks that are randomly overlaid onto things. That feature would also need to be coded into freezy's DLL too. 7) Check that it returns to scoreboard colorization when credits is more than 10, and also "Credits 10." (with a period at the end) and buy-in combionations. If the player/ball/credit reading at the bottom moves slightly it breaks the scoreboard detection, and something like the period that shows up if there is a service issue can mess things up. I mainly test with free play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johngreve Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Hi, Just upgraded to 1.7 and took this for a spin.....I love what I see.....the colors really look great. Nice color choices to be sure. Thanks for sharing this.....just looks spectacular on. PinDMD3.Awesome work guys!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackvulcan3 Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Thanks so much Malenko and Rob. CP is right though, the less vocal majority really appreciate the work you do and the time you give of yourselves to do it. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider malenko Posted May 26, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted May 26, 2019 Bump out of NOWHERE!!!!! Added some more stuff to the last release from DJRobX's. Just some minor tweaks and i redid a couple scenes. I needed a break from the getaway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thalamus Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 What kind of break is that ? I'm not complaining. Thanks a lot @malenko Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJRobX Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I was at the California Extreme pinball show this weekend. I played a WCS that had a colorized DMD on it, but it wasn't a LCD like most of the other pins running official ColorDMDs. Didn't really think too much of it at first. As I played the machine I got to one of the "teacher" sequences that I knew we hadn't colorized yet, and saw it go white, and realized that this pin had OUR colorization running! It was very surreal but it was SO cool to encounter our work on a real pin at a pinshow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider malenko Posted July 30, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted July 30, 2019 That's awesome. Maybe one day I'll chip away more at this. But I told myself no more projects until I finish Getaway, which thankfully is ALMOST done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its done, the initial chalkboard is replacement, second half is masked because I thought the words on the chalkboard was dynamic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dany Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 fantastic work guys congratulations really there a final version or updated for real pinball and where to download it thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andypc Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 This is fantastic, but would it be worth losing the green background behind the score as this seems to be causing most the issues in transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyBlackDog Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi guys, I’m about to pull the trigger on a real WCS pinball so I’d love to see this project get some movement forward. Given this appears to have been a “community” effort, any chance the latest source files could be shared? I was playing it on VPX last night and I saw quite a few static screens seemed to be just white, and could use a bit of color. I’d love to contribute as well, as I’m just getting started on learning the ins and outs of WPC colorization. Much appreciated, and thanks for all you guys do.

Content Provider malenko Posted November 13, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted November 13, 2019 Feel free to ask any questions. The whole point of me releasing the source with everything I do is to get other people to learn how to do it. Feel free to use this topic for your updates if you'd like.

Chesco Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 Congratulations for this fantastic work. One question... Rom for Real Pinball? Some graphics errors with this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andypc Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Just wondered if there has been any progress with this. I have a Pin2DMD waiting to go in my real WCS :-). It be best to lose the green background behind the score as this seems to be causing most the issues in transitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
