Hi,

 

I know, the most flexiable way to get your toys going is to use the DOF Config tool here on VPUniverse.

 

BUT... I have two very custom Beacon lights which I built from addressable LED's and for these there is no configuration which fit, so that is the reason I wanted to try to make the local configuration instead.

 

So what have I tried? This is my config, you see that they point to each other. Below I have the resulting log from when starting    Getaway, The - High Speed II (1992) in VPX

 

I have tried both setting the AddLedControlConfig flag to true and false. Currently it is on false, so that ONLY the local config is active.

 

This is my first try in making a DOF Config tool completely in XML.

 

So for my Beacons it would be:

 

S27 Blue AT0 AH100 AL0 AW50 ASDR ASS200 BLINK 490 BPW15 F100/S27 Red AT0 AH100 AL50 AW100 ASDL ASS200 BLINK 490 BPW15 F100 

 

splitting the addressable leds into two parts (50% + 50%). It works with the ini file config from the DOF Config tool, but with this local config, it stays completely dark.

 

If anyone has an example config, it would make me happy ;)

So we see here it managed to load the table config file

and built up the MatixBase:

  

2021.06.04 17:49:09.927    Debug: MatrixBase for RGBAMatrixShiftEffect. Calculated area size: AreaDef(L:51, T:0, W:50, H:100), Matrix(W:1, H:8), ResultArea(Left: 4, Top:0, Right:7, Bottom:0, Width:4, Height:1)

But I have the problem it does not want to Trigger on Solenoid #27...

It's truly possible that I missunderstood something about your problem (english is not my mother tongue) but: I have adressable rings around my speakers and I used Magnasave MX (left and right) in the configtool for them. At nearly all tables (because most tables dont have magnasave) these lines are empty by default, so you dont have to erase them for every single table before you fill in your own effects.

Hi, I did not see you answer until now... so that is the reason for my late reply.

 

Well, I wanted to see if it is possible to use the local configuration for DOF in conjunction with the config from the website, similar to what you have done with the Magnasave MX keys. 

For the Magnasave MX and Flipper MX keys, I have actually updated most of them to fit the Magnasave version as well as double-check with pictures on IPDB.org, so that the colors fit.
