Loading Videos in PinballY

[Roadblock]

How do you get Pinball Y or X to show Loading Videos on a per table basis?

[scutters]

Use this plugin for PinballX; https://forums.gameex.com/forums/topic/23127-plugin-pinballx-loading-video-image-changer-de-randomiser-v2/

 

Drop me a post in that thread if you have any problems.

Thanks Scutters that works like a charm in Pinball X.

Now how do I make it work in Pinball Y ?

You can do it with javascript. There is a Solution for a common loading video from Richard LIncoln.
LaunchVideo.js Run launch.mp4 on game launches..
Maybe there will follow a solution for Table-Loading-Videos..

This Version should hide wheel and loading.. Text:

// LaunchVideo

// https://github.com/RichardL64

//

// Play video during game launch

// Plays ../PinballY/Media/Videos/Launch.mp4

//

// R.Lincoln April 2022

//

// On game launch

//

function myOverlayShow(ev) {

mainWindow.launchOverlay.bg.clear(0xff000000);

let video = gameList.resolveMedia("Videos","Launch.mp4" );

mainWindow.launchOverlay.bg.loadVideo(video);

ev.preventDefault();

}

// On game startup

// Stop the video

//

function myGameStarted(ev) {

mainWindow.launchOverlay.bg.clear(0xff000000);

}

// Overlay message

// Hide the PBY display items

//

function myOverlayMessage(ev) {

ev.hideWheelImage = true;

ev.message = "";

}

// Setup the launch hook

//

mainWindow.on("launchoverlayshow", myOverlayShow);

mainWindow.on("gamestarted", myGameStarted);

mainWindow.on("launchoverlaymessage", myOverlayMessage);

logfile.log("[LaunchVideo] Initialised");

// End

Hello mates.
Im using LaunchVideo.js script on my PinballY machine but something its going wrong.

I have the files into correct path: PinballY/Media/Launch Videos/nametable (manufacturer year).mp4

 

And log file show something like this: Playing White Water (Williams 1993) This video file exists, and if it doesnt, show something like this: Playing Launch, but any video appears ...

Any idea? What im doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

I am having trouble understanding what to do with this script. Do I copy the updated script and paste it somewhere? If so where. Please explain how to use this script. Thank you.

Scripts are in the script folder. You can save a script as a normal txt file and rename it to *.js
Open the Main.js in a txt editor and have a look.
The Main.js is calling the scripts you want to use with:
import "seamless-launch.js";
If you do not want to launch a script, it looks like this:
//import "LaunchFade.js";

Thanks for the quick reply! I will definatley try this as soon as I get home!

Still can't this work. I can not rename text file to *. Js windows will not let me use * in the name. Also can not find the main.js file either..

* is used in computer technology as a placeholder. I meant myname.js where myname is a freely chosen filename.

OK cool.. I was under the impression I only need the one script. I will add all of those to the script folder and see what happens. Thanks!
