I  rested a PINUP folder and I put in the color files but it didn’t work. What else should I have done?

Can you post a log after you created that folder and added the colored files ?

 

Logfiles can be posted as attachments, so no need to copy/paste everything 

[marccy1138]

Yes.  Will go to my cab soon and do so

[lucky1]

I´m pretty sure if you put the afm colorization file into  D:\vPinball\VisualPinball\VPinMAME\altcolor\PINUP\BALLY_Attack_from_Mars\

the log will tell something different.

I have all files installed. I downloaded Lucky's files and installed DMdext. It works for the pac files and the Scared Stiff serum file only. For CueBallWizard and Tron files the colorization show white and gray. When I install the Freezy files the colorization of the Serum tables works but I don't have the colorization of the PAC files. Can anyone help me?

Does anyone have a script for Pinball FX that involves activating DMDext? I cant get external dmd to work and I am thinking it is my launch script a I have nothing in there related to DMDext?

Hi,

 

I have a random issue, from time to time I get a Pin2DMD firmware error (see attached file) when I quit a table with VPX 10.7.4.

 

Firmware : 4.51, on a STM32 board, using DLLs in the first post.

 

You can reproduce this error with the Tools\x64\Pin2DMD.exe software.

 

Any idea ?

 

Thanks and have a nice day

added x64 in Pin2DMD.exe path

Hi lucky, thanks for the update, but something has gone wrong, the previous update,everything perfect except Maverick, even the new diner colorization adding 1.6 of libserum. With today's new update Maverick works fine, crz, new diner crz, pal/ini, but we lose pac.

By default, FX uses vpinmame\dmdext\ as the external dmd folder. Ensure this folder exists and has the latest freezy files. 
 

There is no need to run dmdext, just select external DMD in PinballFX cabinet setup. 
 

Hope this helps!

Is there color files for Maverick?

I'm having issues with not getting proper color on patched altcolor for example avs_170c. I get the 4 color but not the true altcolor everyone else seems to have.

Ningún archivo pac muestra color.

Hi, check your dmddevice.ini, and add these lines, this fixed it for me.

 

; put your plugins here, up to 10 plugins can be defined.

; since they are native plugins, you need to define them

; for both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

plugin.0.path = pin2color.dll

plugin.0.path64 = pin2color64.dll

plugin.0.passthrough = false

Awesome! That worked for me as well! Thanks a bunch sir.

On South Park some color transitions are messed up. when I go up the right ramp some times the color is good sometimes it is solid Red then sometimes it is a mixed color.. Never had that issue before and I play this table every day. Just random though so I have no idea. I am using 10.7.4 with 64bit I will try to catch a screenshot.

[marccy1138]

Can someone help with the virtual dmd not showing up in Pinball FX?

I have tried everything.

 

If I turn on external dmd, nothing is there. Someone suggested the settings.ini in FX but I dont se anything wrong with them. I have 1 set up for Full DMD and the other for Slim.

 

Can someone share the settings.ini file so I can see if I have differences?

 

I will also run again and get a fresh log to see what is happening. 

 

I did download and install the new freezy files.

Try renaming the .pac to simply "pin2dmd.pac"

[HoJo215]

So I have almost everything working.. Smb3 doesn't display then crashes and Tmnt_104 doesn't display.

The sound for both starts to play..

[htamas]

Color tnmt_104 works fine for me with lucky1's DLL

yep me too. vpinmame crashes out hard when run in color mode. if you remove/rename the pin2color.dll's it will work but then of course you lose .pacs.
