martymart Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 I was just wondering if anyone has developed a Ghostbusters or Walking dead real pin pin2dmd Colorization file. If so please let me know as I am looking one.
Rappelbox Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 There are only single palettes available for both. A red/orange one for TWD and a white/green fro ghostbusters. Colorization for both ROMs could be done better with Pinball Browser instead of pin2dmd editor as the latter is currently not able to colorize dynamic scenes with more than 4 colors. But@lucky1 might correct me if I’m mistaken.
slippifishi Posted October 11, 2020 Posted October 11, 2020 Is it just an editor limitation? I do have a GB here and I have wondered about pulling the ColorDMD out so I can try having a go myself, it's all a bit pink and purple and I would love to give it some polish, though I'm not sure how easily Ican convert my desktop pin2dmd into something I can use with the machine. I looked very briefly - spent like 1 minute - looking at pinball browser, but I don't think it would provide the same freedoms to colour as the approach I am used to using the editor

You could already trigger normal animations and text messages and such, but not scenes with dynamic scoring and animations combined. At least that’s what my last knowledge is. With pinball browser you could also create different palettes and assign them to scenes, only memory space is the limiting factor, at least for twd.
Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 11, 2020 Content Provider Posted October 11, 2020 Currently best practice is coloring the dynamic scenes in pinball browser and the replacement scenes in pin2dmd editor. To make it possible to colorize dynamic scenes in the editor the number of colors needs to be raised to at least 32 in the editor and the firmware. I could do it for the firmware but for the editor I need the help of Steve.
Content Provider NetzZwerg Posted October 12, 2020 Content Provider Posted October 12, 2020 I already have a gb project I work on, but get stuck because I don't understand the steps needed to get the wanted results with pb and how to combine these programs in the end.

I don't think its possible for a virtual machine given that the virtual machine is not using the rom. Any changes you make to the rom in Pinball Browser will not take effect when you launch VPinSPA
Content Provider NetzZwerg Posted October 14, 2020 Content Provider Posted October 14, 2020 @Pinballuser that is right, I don't know how to make it work for vpin, that's why I gave it a break.
