PinballX Startup Images

**Spellbot5000** · June 22, 2013

Hey everyone, I'm new to PinballX. I was messing around with setup options, and put together this startup image for desktop players. Here's a link if anyone wants it:

Hey, Welcome to the forum's.

Looks good, Nice to see some more artist's taking the initiative

Here's also a real quick and dirty Loading animation for desktops as well. It's a sub 500k animated gif that looks like a DMD playing a "Loading..." message.

Edit: And a double-speed version if someone wants something faster:

I split your posts to your own thread for highlighting your work.

Both of them look good

Keep up the good work!

I tried replacing my "Loading.png" in the "Media\Loading Images" subfolder of PinballX with the double-speed version presented here, and renamed it "Loading.gif," but when I start a game, I only see the first frame, and it doesn't animate. Does PinballX support animated GIFs?

**Lyanheart** · July 21, 2013

Good question... Just saw this and I'd like to have a cabinet/portrait version.

I can recall reading somewhere that gifs are not supported in win7, something about a security risk.

**zeenon** · August 18, 2013

Anyone have any cabinet version they could share?

Did the Loading animation work for anyone? I have WIndows XP x32 and the animation doesn't play for me either. It also stops on the first frame.

That is not entirely correct. You can "open with" and select your browser of choice to view .gif files - animated or otherwise. It is only with Photo Viewer and it is mostly to do with proprietary format. Programmers can make this work by using libraries to display them within their programs. Not sure if it works in PinballX or not (that would be Tom that would need to answer). If not, someone will need to submit a feature request. Additionally, someone could possibly perform a conversion to a video format supported by PinballX.

**Tom Speirs** · November 4, 2013

For startup images you should be able to convert then to startup videos.

Spesoft Free Video Converter should convert a GIF to MP4 along with others.

**rockyrocket** · January 13, 2014

Any of you out there still have this, as all the links are now dead?.

Seem to of lost my copy of the double speed version and was just thinking about converting it over to a video :rolleyes: .

**rockyrocket** · April 16, 2014

Well what do you know,

I just put on a pair of shorts that I have not worn since last summer and found a usb drive in the pocket that I thought was lost.

And guess what was "backed up" on it? :unsure: .

So I have converted the giff into some MP4`s, attached are some cab and desktop versions of differing lengths that are sped up and recolored a bit.

Works fine as an intro movie , but did not show when put into the loading images folder unfortunately - hopefully that`s just operator error on my part?.

Sweet! I love it when stuff like that happens. I recently re-discovered a missing Amazon gift card in the same fashion.

Thanks for the share rockyrocket!

Ha ha I know what you mean, I am having a pretty good day so far so just did the lottery just in case!.

I am soo glad this turned up as i`ve been checking this thread since jan to see if anyone offered up a copy - even went through some old back up images.

Maybe it would of just been better to learn how to make an animation myself.

**Carny_Priest** · August 17, 2014

I'd like to use an animated loading video, but which media folder do you need put it?

I tried

"Loading Images"

"Startup Videos"

"Videos"

and even tried to make a "Loading Videos" folder.

**Carny_Priest** · August 31, 2014

Any info on using a "loading" video rather than the static image with

PinballX\Media\Loading Images\Loading.png

?

I'm not sure how to get a video to work when launching a system.

**Jas-o-n** · September 23, 2014

I would like to use the Videos also as loading screen. Mo one managed To get it working jet???

See ya...jas

**stefanaustria** · October 16, 2014

Start "Settings.exe" and enable "Enable Startup Videos", select YES ! Thats it !

**virtuoso** · February 18, 2015

That's only for startup video of PinballX. Loading video is the one that should play after choosing a table (before to play, while Future Pinball/Visual Pinball is loading the table). In fact, it looks like that PinballX loads only images and not videos.

**zeenon** · March 9, 2015

I have not gotten this to work either, and think it's a bug. I've sent Tom a message informing him of the issue.
