zeraw420 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 I got all the parts coming in a few weeks to build some PIN2DMDs i was wondering if anyone has done any work on last action hero? or am I going to have to start from scratch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 5, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted January 5, 2020 I guess you have to start from scratch. To make a dump file just download any of my tools from here https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/tools/ Preferably the OSX if you have a mac at hand. It has the most precise timing. Turn off all energy saving settings. Then connect the display through USB to your PC, start the application and check "Create Dump File" in the lower left corner of the app. With the glass off, you can simply throw the ball to activate the different animations of the pin to record them.

Content Provider dtatane Posted April 16, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hi, I've actively working on the colorization of last action hero these last few days. I'm learning how to use pin2dmd editor with this nice rom full of scenes and animations ! It'll be a great challenge. It's too early to publish any files right now, but here are a few bits.

Content Provider dtatane Posted April 28, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted April 28, 2020 I would need some help on these sequences that I try to color. I'd like to use (and understand) how ColorMask Sequence and ColorMask Layered function form Pin2DMD Editor work. ColorMask Sequence : I tried to use the colormask sequence function for this scene : the roof - runaway I colored every frame, and set a hash using a mask for each frame as explained on the tutorial. But, it seems that only the first frame colorization loads and the whole scene is played using the frist frmae color, which makes the running guy not colored well. I check several recordings and everyone as the same sequence of frames. ColorMask Layered : I found this scene interesting to learn how ColorMask Layered function works, as it will be useful for more complex dynamic scenes in this rom. This one is easy, the head of benedict runs from left to right. It could easily be done with "standard" ColorMask, but again, my point is to learn of to use the different features of Pin2DMD Editor. I colored the first frame of the sequence with a standard coloring for the background. Then I added every signle frame from the recording using the CTRL+C / CTRL+R as explained in the tutorial. I've set 2 masks : 0 - the 3 bottom lines to load the backgrouund 1 - the lines between the doors and the columns : which gives a unique hash for each position of the head I've set all the hash of the frames and when I try to set a keyframe for the first frame to load the scene, it makes my whole file not loaded on the pin2DMD ( no color in any animation at all ). I guess, there might be a problem with either my configuration or my usage of the function. - Pin2DMD latest firmware 3.11 - Latests dmddevice.dll copied in VpinMame\PIN2DMD sub-folder - DmdDevice.dll freezy 1.7.1 in VPinMAME folder I've exported two vni files for this project : one without the keyframe set for the colorMAsk Layered scene, one with. Here's a link to have a look at those 2 files : https://drive.google.com/open?id=13QSmyaufY3yq3vNjS8D0x8255ZOX3kTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 @dtatane Looks like a nice job on the Coloring - Thank you UpDate 5/3/2020 ColorMask Layered mode which is only supported by lucky'1 dmddevice.dll for Pin2DMD only and not by current freezy versions ! - But hopefully freezy will supported soon Freezy's Latest Now supports color layer mode -- https://ci.appveyor.com/project/freezy/dmd-extensions/history 1.8 r122 -- The only file I used was the - DmdDevice.dll lucky'1 Latest DmdDevice.dll --- https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/blob/master/integration/pinmame/dmddevice.dll If you have a Pin2DMD, You can take Advantage of the color layer mode by having both dll's in the VPinMane folder - (White Water color DMD uses Color layer mode) By renaming freezy.dll to dmdscreen.dll and turning off pin2dmd in the dmddevice.ini.

Content Provider dtatane Posted May 18, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted May 18, 2020 Hi, I've updated the dmddevice.dll file with lmateste version from freezy, and it loads ! The scenes are not currently working, but I will look into what was done for White Water to get through this. In the meanwhile, i've been coloring new scenes, and I realize when playing that my recordings are not really good, I miss a few frames from here and there. Therefore I need to record everything exhaustively to have a better result. Some new previews : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider dtatane Posted August 31, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted August 31, 2020 Hi, As mentionned in my message, i know I could use the colormask mode, but wanted to try this new feature. It took me 50+ frames colormasking the "big mistake" scene.. and I thought this new feature could help. But no, honestly, i couldn't make this work fine. But I also have some troubles with the "colormask sequence" or "ReplaceSequence".. Some new previews : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider dtatane Posted September 7, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted September 7, 2020 Thanks to @lucky1, I'll be able to share a realpin file. I will do so in the next days. As I'm currently working again on this colorization, i'd like to fix some know issues first. I've been struggling using the Color Mask sequence and ReplaceSequence mode and i have to go back to a frame by frame solution for some scenes. Good thing is, as i'm testing my files, i get better in playing this table and unlock some scenes that i haven't recorded before. So in the end, it is a bit longer (close to 80h for now!) than I initially thought, but it's getting somewhere ! Here's a live demo : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider dtatane Posted September 13, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted September 13, 2020 Salut Yopi, J'utilise la rom en anglais avec crédits, donc certaines certaines comme le score peuvent ne pas s'afficher correctement à cause du masque de détection. Pour le score, j'utilise la zone avec le mot ball... donc boule, ça passe pas ! Je viens d'ajouter un masque sur le "free play" qui doit être positionné au même endroit en attendant de faire mieux, je te laisse tester. Si tu vois d'autres anomalies avec la rom française n'hésite pas à m'en faire part ! Et je vais voir pour récupérer de mon côté la rom en française, je ne savais pas qu'il y en avait une !

nairolf Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Je ne savais pas que tu étais Français... Vraiment félicitation pour ton travail! Je l'ai installé Hier et la fin de certaine scène (la scène d'intro avec l’hélicoptère par exemple) passe en full rouge sur la dernière seconde. C'est le cas pour pas mal de scène chez moi. Peut être est ce pour les même raison. Je check si ma rom n'est pas en Français mais j'en doute. Je te fais une vidéo asap si tu as besoin. Dans tous les cas c'est vraiment génial. Merci beaucoup.?
