Content Provider MydknyteStyrm Posted April 1, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 1, 2020 I see. So I would have 20 single scenes, each one masked, and then 20 keyframes to match. Now the question is, since it’s a dynamic scene with the match numbers, I assume I would have to make the D-Mask set for the static image, (being the word Match) for all 20 frames. That makes sense in my head. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite sure how you are stating this, but yes you want to mask out the match numbers so that they do not contribute to the hashtag calculation (so no matter what random numbers pop up, the keyframe hashtag will be identical for that particular frame). Btw, as I stated before, this is probably not the most efficient way to do this (again I suspect the ColorMask Sequence is the way to go), but it does work.

From what I understood he does not have a real dmd which means he can´t use the new coloring modes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would this be a good example of where to use the Colormask Sequence mode if he did have a real dmd? I was wondering if you could just give an overview of this mode as well as the Replace Sequence and Replace Masked modes? I don't think anyone is really utilizing them at this point because of a lack of understanding as to their purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question - for the Sequence modes - if you use masks to set the triggering hash on frames, do those masks count toward the 10-mask limit or are those a different type of mask?

Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 2, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted April 2, 2020 The mask is only valid for the specific frame and not a global mask . The spinner to select the mask number is disabled. btw Global masks are limited to 25 (0-24) and Colormask Layered masks are limited to 10 masks for now.

Content Provider MydknyteStyrm Posted April 3, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 3, 2020 Here's a few more updates. Thanks Rockdude233 and lucky1 for pointing me in the right direction. Multiple scenes and keyframes for dynamic content is the only way it works for an LCD, at least as far as I've discovered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider MydknyteStyrm Posted April 5, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 5, 2020 Here's another update. Starting to make a dent into the amount of scenes in this DMD. Couple of questions for the hive... This game has a lot of transitions between score and animations (wipes, fades, pixellate out) effects. I have been setting the keyframe to the scene where it fully appears. The only catch is that there is a blink of a regular pal0 palette on the animation when it transitions in above the score. Is there a way to combat this? Is there a way to preview my entire txt.gz file using the color palettes and scenes I have already done, so I can get an idea of what scenes I've completed fully and which still need work. The workflow for this program is a little inhibitive to see a completed project. When choosing colors, if I drag the color picker around instead of just picking, 8 out of 10 times the software crashes. Any fix? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider MydknyteStyrm Posted April 17, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 17, 2020 Thanks again to everyone for the kind words. This is quite the undertaking for my first colorizing, and I am definitely learning a lot of tricks as I go. Here is a new set of updates, and testing is going well. I'm hoping to have something out there soon for everyone to test. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeamPPAetios Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 @MydknyteStyrm Hi dude ! Congratulations !!! You did a great work with this colorization ! I started one years ago but I let it fall cause i've got no time for it and colorizing dynamic content is quite a mess for me. I've still got the real pinball at home and I've got PIN2DMD license too, so if you manage to share your work, I can export colorization for real pinball for you. Should be great for pinball community Thx by advance ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
