Carny_Priest Posted July 30, 2014 Posted July 30, 2014 I purchased SlamIt Pinball: Big Score for like a dollar or two in the last Steam Summer Sale. It's a pretty decent game once you do the work of getting the game updated and configured. Steam sells the v1.0 release which is apparently pretty buggy. You must manually apply the patches and updates yourself. Follow the guide:http://steamcommunity.com/app/12430/guides/The patch can be downloaded here:http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/SlamIt-Pinball-Big-Score-Patch.shtmlSupport was added to versions of FPLaunch/HP but I have not seen anything yet for PinballX. It is pretty straightforward though.LaunchSlamIt.ahk and SlamIt.xml#NoEnv #SingleInstance forceRegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exeprocess, WaitClose, BigScore.exeExitApp<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><menu> <game name="BigScore"> <description>BigScore (SlamIt)</description> <manufacturer>Technetium Games</manufacturer> <year>2009</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game></menu> [system_4]Name=SlamItWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\ScriptsTablePath=Executable=LaunchSlamIt.exeEnabled=TrueParameters=LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=LaunchBeforeExecutable=LaunchBeforeParameters= Media pack from BigBoss includes backglass image and wheel image http://thebigboss.org/hostedfiles/slamit_mediapack.zip I uploaded a company logo for the developer, Technetium Games, on the FTP I also uploaded a flyer image based on box art - BigScore (SlamIt) and a table video that I got off of youtube and then rotated using Avidemux I had an issue with my test build where I could start a game but ball 1 would not come out. Tilting would at least get ball 2 out where I could launch it into play. I had no issues at all with playing in my cabinet, however. So far, it has worked great every time but I have not yet had any long sessions with the table. 2 Quote

Carny_Priest Posted July 31, 2014 Author Posted July 31, 2014 Thanks. The additional script will be very helpful once I get the input controller back in my cab. Just using a wireless keyboard at the moment. Quote
Carny_Priest Posted September 17, 2014 Author Posted September 17, 2014 Update:Copying the DMD to a second or third monitorDone via screen capture and streaming via localhost loopbackThere is a fraction of a second of latency in the streaming. It's not much but it is noticeable. It's very playable, but granted I haven't played enough of the table to know if there are video modes where the lag will make it awkward. NOTE - I can make this work inside and outside of PinballX on my laptop-based test bed, but sadly I can't make it work on the cab. Tried on both backglass and DMD screen. Everything else was the same as far as software except that my laptop runs W7 x64 Ultimate and the cab has W7 x64 Home Edition. I wouldn't expect that to make a difference. The CPU is different: the laptop has an Intel Core i7, Q840 and the cab has an i5 3570k. The GPU is different: the laptop has an NVidia Quadro FX 880M and the cab is running a NVidia GTX660 and GT610. Consequently there are different drivers. And maybe that's the difference, but at least it may be possible for someone to make use of it. Configuration requires the following Windows mmpeg (static build) - http://ffmpeg.zeranoe.com/builds/Quick installation guide - http://www.wikihow.c...mpeg-on-Windows Screen Capturer Recorder - http://sourceforge.n...capturer/files/Screen Capturer Recorder has some helper tools that require Java. You don't have to keep Java installed but it is helpful to have a Run Time Environment for configuring the capture setup with these helper tools I'll use my setup as an example: As I run the game in arcade mode, you can't see the game DMD located on the backbox. I have to place the game DMD somewhere on the playfield screen. I use bottom left and size - 2 pixel. The idea is that we'll capture just this part of the screen and then scale it up on the playback window. We can move the playback window anywhere on a backglass or DMD monitor. Run the Screen Capturer Recorder helper tool "configure by resizing a transparent window". The idea is that you will move this window over the DMD and and drag the borders so that you will capture the entire DMD image. Once you start SlamIt, Alt-Tab to the Screen Capturer Recorder transparent window and drag it over the DMD. When you save, the tool will auto configure the size and location of the capture window. It is a little funky because the game is in portrait mode but the transparent window will remain landscape. So the "height" of the window will cover for the "width" of the DMD. You will not be able to drag the window small enough to precisely cover the "height" of the DMD. Using the "configure by setting specific screen capture numbers" helper tool will help you get the rest of the way. My test bed uses a 1280 x 1024 resolution, the settings wound up being capture_height=254capture_width=63start_x=1203start_y=758 My cab uses a 1920 x 1080 resolution, the settings wound up being capture_height=254capture_width=63start_x=1837start_y=814 I've been testing with default_max_fps=30 (which is the default for Screen Capturer Recorder) As I am already using Screen Capturer Recorder for Pinball FX2 and the settings are stored in the registry. I copy my usual settings and store them temporarily and overwrite with the settings needed for SlamIt. I'm running a p2k-style cabinet so the ffmpeg rotates and does a vflip on the image before streaming (-vf "transpose=3"). Assuming most people don't need to vflip then you will just need to rotate the image (change to -vf "transpose=1"). The ffplay client window will have a title called "udp://localhost:1234?listen". The WinMove line allows for precisely locating the client window on the second or third monitor by x and y coordinates. In my case, x=3842 and y=197. My DMD screen uses a custom resolution of 768 x 432. As the capture width is 254, I scale the image by a factor of 3 and that fits nearly perfectly edge to edge on my monitor (-vf scale=iw*3:-1). Here, iw means "image width" and the -1 instructs ffplay to retain the aspect ratio. In other words, you do not have to define an image height An ahk WinSet trick to hide the title bar and borders does not work on the ffplay client window. I use ahk GUI to draw a black border to hide the title bar and borders. "WinSet, Region, 0-0 768-0 768-220 0-220 0-0 3-21 762-21 762-210 3-210 3-21" - the first set of five coordinates draws the outer border of a rectangle. The second set of five coordinates draws the inner border of the rectangle. The hole in the middle will be transparent. "Gui, Show, W768 H220 X3840 Y198 NoActivate" - moves the border I just drew precisely over the ffplay title bar and borders. After quitting SlamIt, the registry is overwritten again with the values that were stored at the beginning of the program I've attached my config files in case that helps #NoEnv #SingleInstance force#WinActivateForceSetTitleMatchMode 2DetectHiddenWindows On; Default values for Pinball FX2 - read and store capture values from registryRegRead, fx2height, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_heightRegRead, fx2width , HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_widthRegRead, fx2maxfps, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, default_max_fpsRegRead, fx2x , HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_xRegRead, fx2y , HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_y ; Values for SlamIt - write to registryRegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_height, 254RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_width, 63RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, default_max_fps, 30RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_x, 1837RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_y, 814 ; Mirror and flip DMD for P2krun, ffmpeg -rtbufsize 1500M -f dshow -framerate 30 -r 30 -i video="screen-capture-recorder" -vf "transpose=3" -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale:v 1 -f mpegts -threads 8 udp://localhost:1234,,Hide UseErrorLevelSleep, 1000run, ffplay -an -sn -vf scale=iw*3:-1 -i -fflags nobuffer udp://localhost:1234?listen,,Hide UseErrorLevelcheckprocessagain:Process, wait, ffplay.exe, 5.5NewPID = %ErrorLevel% ; Save the value immediately since ErrorLevel is often changed.if NewPID = 0goto checkprocessagain Process, wait, %NewPID%Sleep, 8000IfWinExist udp://localhost:1234?listen {WinMove, , , 3842, 197 } ; draw a black border to hide the window borders for the mirror Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindowGui, Color, 000000WinSet, Region, 0-0 768-0 768-220 0-220 0-0 3-21 762-21 762-210 3-210 3-21Gui, Show, W768 H220 X3840 Y198 NoActivate; cover an artifact ;Gui 2: +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindow;Gui, 2:Color, 000000;WinSet, Region, 0-0 W15 H40;Gui, 2:Show, W15 H40 X3840 Y190 NoActivate RegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exe process, WaitClose, BigScore.exeRun, taskkill /IM ffplay.exe,,UseErrorLevelRun, taskkill /IM ffmpeg.exe /F,,UseErrorLevel ; Default values for Pinball FX2 - write to registryRegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_height, %fx2height%RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, capture_width, %fx2width%RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, default_max_fps, %fx2maxfps%RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_x, %fx2x%RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKCU, Software\screen-capture-recorder, start_y, %fx2y% ExitApp LaunchSlamIt.zip Quote
Carny_Priest Posted September 23, 2014 Author Posted September 23, 2014 Update: Got this working for my cab:Big Score writes game settings, high scores, etc. to files in the current user Documents folder.

Carny_Priest Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 Forgot to mention. It's possible to set up a 3D profile in the Nvidia Control Panel and really crank up AA and Anisotropic filtering, set Max pre-rendered frames to 1. Post-processing works well.It's a surprisingly nice table given the reputation. A really fun theme and totally underrated. It's too bad that development fell apart on this one, leaving a lot work up to users to get it playable. But it is worth the effort. Quote
randr Posted September 24, 2014 Posted September 24, 2014 Is this like tpa in full screen? Or is it actually "full screen" Quote
Carny_Priest Posted September 24, 2014 Author Posted September 24, 2014 I'm not sure what you mean. I have not messed around too much with TPA. I suppose it is genuine full screen if only because I can't get PinballX to display a backglass for it. Quote
Carny_Priest Posted September 27, 2014 Author Posted September 27, 2014 Update: Swapped out the separate screen-capture-recorder device for ffmpeg's built-in gdigrab device. Performs as well as screen-capture-recorder for what I need desktop capture for. Now one distribution does it all. No need for Java or for registry entries, so it is a simpler solution.

Carny_Priest Posted December 7, 2014 Author Posted December 7, 2014 Update:Added controls for my VirtuaPin Digital Plunger Kit v1. The controller emulates a joypad. The in-game menu has an option to configure the game for joystick inputs, and it even correctly recognizes each button when you configure, but then the controls simply do not respond during play. So, I added code to the launch script to map joypad to key presses.I'm using a documented method using timers to enable auto-repeating keystrokes so that the flippers and plunger behave as if you were using a keyboard. A simple map sends a single keystroke. A flipper would just kick and go right back to rest. With the timers, you can hold the flipper button and the flipper will stay up. You can trap the ball, do passes to the other flipper, precisely control the plunger, etc.From Sir Cheddar's script earlier in this thread, I borrowed the idea of simultaneous multiple key presses for the 2nd flipper buttons (MagnaSave). This gives a hard nudge that is definitely visible in the game. Thanks.The exit button automatically scrolls through the game menu and exits the game normally. Not an Alt-F4.

Carny_Priest Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Update:For jollies, I added a feature to change the color of the DMD mirrored image. The script allows for a choice among red, green, blue, and orange along with the default yellow/amber. Requires a text file called SlamItDMDColor.txt that resides in the same folder as the script and that has one word - red, or green, or blue, or orange. Anything else and the script will apply no processing and the DMD will be the default color.#NoEnv #SingleInstance force#WinActivateForceSetTitleMatchMode 2DetectHiddenWindows OnFileReadLine, dmd_color, %A_WorkingDir%\SlamItDMDColor.txt, 1Color="scale=iw*3:-1"if dmd_color=red Color="scale=iw*3:-1,hue=h=300:s=1.5:b=-5"else if dmd_color=green Color="scale=iw*3:-1,hue=h=100:s=2:b=-1"else if dmd_color=blue Color="scale=iw*3:-1,hue=h=345:s=-1.5:b=-2"else if dmd_color=orange Color="scale=iw*3:-1,hue=h=330:s=1.5:b=-1"; Mirror and flip DMD for P2krun, ffmpeg -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 120 -offset_x 1837 -offset_y 814 -video_size 63x254 -i desktop -vf "transpose=3" -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale:v 1 -f mpegts -threads 8 udp://localhost:1234,,Hide UseErrorLevelSleep, 1000run, ffplay -an -sn -vf %Color% -i -fflags nobuffer udp://localhost:1234?listen,,Hide UseErrorLevelcheckprocessagain: Process, wait, ffplay.exe, 5.5 NewPID = %ErrorLevel% ; Save the value immediately since ErrorLevel is often changed. if NewPID = 0 goto checkprocessagainProcess, wait, %NewPID%Sleep, 8000IfWinExist udp://localhost:1234?listen { WinMove, , , 3842, 197 } ; draw a black border to hide the window borders for the mirror Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindowGui, Color, 000000WinSet, Region, 0-0 768-0 768-220 0-220 0-0 6-23 765-23 765-210 6-210 6-23Gui, Show, W768 H220 X3840 Y197 NoActivateRegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exeSleep 10000; remove borders from BigScore adapted from ozon - https://gist.github.com/ozon/2c3b98161329b583b4a5 Thanks IfWinExist, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score { WinSet, Style, -0xC00000 ; hide title bar WinSet, Style, -0x800000 ; hide thin-line border WinSet, Style, -0x400000 ; hide dialog frame WinSet, Style, -0x40000 ; hide thickframe/sizebox } WinMaximize, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big ScoreSend {Enter Down}, Send {Enter Up}process, WaitClose, BigScore.exeRun, taskkill /IM ffplay.exe,,UseErrorLevelRun, taskkill /IM ffmpeg.exe /F,,UseErrorLevelExitApp#IfWinActive ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score; Digital Plunger Joy1:: Send {Down down} SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, 10 return WaitForJoy1: if not GetKeyState("Joy1") { Send {Down up} SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, off return } Send {Down down} return ; Right Flipper Joy2:: Send {RShift down} SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, 10 return WaitForJoy2: if not GetKeyState("Joy2") { Send {RShift up} SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, off return } Send {RShift down} return ; Right 2nd Flipper Joy3:: i:: Send {i} Send {o} ;Send {l} return; Exit Table Joy8:: Send {Esc} Sleep, 10 loop, 7 { Send {Down} Sleep, 10 } Send {Enter} Sleep, 10 Send {Enter} return; Start Game Joy9:: Send {s} Send {Enter} return; Left Flipper Joy10:: Send {LShift down} SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, 10 return WaitForJoy10: if not GetKeyState("Joy10") { Send {LShift up} SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, off return } Send {LShift down} return ; Left 2nd Flipper Joy11:: f:: ;Send {q} Send {w} Send {a} return; Insert Coin 1 Joy12::Send {1}#IfWinActiveBasically, any color can be reproduced. The inputs are based on the Hue, Saturation, Brightness color model. In the ffmpeg implementation Hue takes on values from 0 to 360 deg while Saturation and Brightness take on values from -10 to 10. However, you can't simply find a color picker and use the values there. The tricky part is that the adjustment is made in reference to the default yellow/amber color rather than 0 deg, pure red. I found some decent values by trial and error using VLC and some other freeware tools that allowed me to do some real time (or at least close to real time) previews as I made adjustments.In theory, the technique could be applied on FX2 although you would have to figure out the values to apply multiple times as the default color varies by table. It may not be practical. And for multi-player hotseat games it probably would not be satisfactory at all. Each player typically has a different DMD color that switches as a player's turn comes up. But the potential is there to do some further customization for single player games. 1 Quote
Carny_Priest Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 Damn!

Carny_Priest Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Update: For several months now, I maintained a custom resolution for my third display because of VPM. The rendering of a DMD in VPM's native resolution is limited to a max of 768 x 192 for the standard DMD 4:1 aspect ratio. Try to go any higher and VPM just draws black bars around the image. So, I simply kept my third screen at 768 px width all the time. Sadly, you maintain such a low resolution for generating "pixel perfect" reproductions with the side effect of diminished contrast and brightness of the image. It's tolerable, but you do it for VPM and all other systems also suffer for it.Now, I use the Display Changer 2 utility and scripts to change the monitor resolution as I launch VP. I use my monitor's native resolution of 1600 x 900 for PinballX and all other systems. FutureDMD at the higher resolution is a revelation. So much brighter!This leads to the an update/upgrade for SlamIt. Basically, the script just scales by a factor of 6.25 to fit edge-to-edge on a 1600 px width screen. It is pretty easy to change that number to fit any kind of screen.In the course of fine tuning, I found that I was cutting off a column of pixels on the left of the DMD. I changed the capture area from 63x255 to 63x256 to bring it back. I would think that the perfect capture area would be 64x256 as it corresponds to a 4:1 aspect ratio. I tried adjusting the offset but I was still capturing a noticeable piece of the background around the DMD at 64 px. It has to be 63 px, trust me.At any rate, in the course of updating/upgrading systems I've at least determined the dimensions needed to hide the ffplay playback window. As a reminder, the tactic of using WinSet to remove titles and borders from the playback window do not work. Ffplay will just redraw them. So, I just hide them behind a black frame that I draw. I've determined that the dimensions of the window correspond exactly to the capture area defined by the video_size parameter that ffmpeg uses to capture and stream. FFplay then draws a border 4 px wide on the left, right, and bottom. The top also has the title bar. It is 23 px wide. So, if I am playing back an image 1600 px wide and 394 px high. I'd draw the outer rectangle at 1608 x 421. The inner rectangle which is transparent, starts at X pos 4 and runs to X pos 1604 and starts at Y pos 23 and runs to Y pos 417. Move both the playback window and the black border to the same X and Y position on the desktop. Could be third screen or second screen or wherever.Note that this is with Aero off. I don't know that it will be the same for Aero on. Probably not. It is pretty simple to add some lines of script to turn Aero off and then back on when the app closes. I just have Aero off all the time. #NoEnv #SingleInstance force#WinActivateForceSetTitleMatchMode 2DetectHiddenWindows On FileReadLine, dmd_color, %A_WorkingDir%\SlamItDMDColor.txt, 1Color="scale=iw*6.25:-1"if dmd_color=redColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,hue=h=300:s=1.5:b=-5"else if dmd_color=greenColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,hue=h=100:s=2:b=-1"else if dmd_color=blueColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,hue=h=345:s=-1.5:b=-2"else if dmd_color=orangeColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,hue=h=330:s=1.5:b=-1"else if dmd_color=whiteColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,format=pix_fmts=gray"else if dmd_color=LSDColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,hue='H=2*PI*t: s=sin(2*PI*t)+1'"else if dmd_color=dreamColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,noise=alls=20:allf=t+u, curves=master='0.0627/0 0.1/0.15 0.9215/1'"else if dmd_color=thermoColor="scale=iw*6.25:-1,curves=r='0.4/0 0.6/1':g='0.25/1 0.75/0.5 0.9/0 1/1':b='0/1 0.25/0 0.75/0 1/1'" ; Mirror and flip DMD for P2krun, ffmpeg -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 120 -offset_x 1837 -offset_y 813 -video_size 63x256 -i desktop -vf "transpose=3" -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale:v 1 -f mpegts -threads 8 udp://localhost:1234,,Hide UseErrorLevelSleep, 1000run, ffplay -an -sn -vf %Color% -i -fflags nobuffer udp://localhost:1234?listen,,Hide UseErrorLevelcheckprocessagain:Process, wait, ffplay.exe, 5.5NewPID = %ErrorLevel% ; Save the value immediately since ErrorLevel is often changed.if NewPID = 0goto checkprocessagain Process, wait, %NewPID%Sleep, 8000IfWinExist udp://localhost:1234?listen {WinMove, , , 3840, 400 } ; draw a black border to hide the window borders for the mirror Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindowGui, Color, 000000WinSet, Region, 0-0 1608-0 1608-421 0-421 0-0 4-23 1604-23 1604-417 4-417 4-23Gui, Show, W1608 H421 X3840 Y400 NoActivate RegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exeSleep 10000 ; remove borders from BigScore adapted from ozon - https://gist.github.com/ozon/2c3b98161329b583b4a5Thanks IfWinExist, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score {WinSet, Style, -0xC00000 ; hide title barWinSet, Style, -0x800000 ; hide thin-line borderWinSet, Style, -0x400000 ; hide dialog frameWinSet, Style, -0x40000 ; hide thickframe/sizebox } WinMaximize, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big ScoreSend {Enter Down}, Send {Enter Up} process, WaitClose, BigScore.exeRun, taskkill /IM ffplay.exe,,UseErrorLevelRun, taskkill /IM ffmpeg.exe /F,,UseErrorLevel ExitApp #IfWinActive ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score ; Digital PlungerJoy1::Send {Down down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, 10return WaitForJoy1:if not GetKeyState("Joy1"){Send {Down up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, offreturn}Send {Down down}return ; Right FlipperJoy2::Send {RShift down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, 10return WaitForJoy2:if not GetKeyState("Joy2"){Send {RShift up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, offreturn}Send {RShift down}return ; Right 2nd FlipperJoy3::i::Send {i}Send {o};Send {l}return ; Exit TableJoy8::Send {Esc}Sleep, 10loop, 7{Send {Down}Sleep, 10}Send {Enter}Sleep, 10Send {Enter}return ; Start GameJoy9::Send {s}Send {Enter}return ; Left FlipperJoy10::Send {LShift down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, 10return WaitForJoy10:if not GetKeyState("Joy10"){Send {LShift up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, offreturn}Send {LShift down}return ; Left 2nd FlipperJoy11::f::;Send {q}Send {w}Send {a}return ; Insert Coin 1Joy12::Send {1} #IfWinActive I guess the next step will be to see if I can do anything to get an analog plunger working with the game.

Draco1962 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 63x255 instead of 64x256 kinda makes since to me if you count from 0 instead of 1. Quote
Carny_Priest Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 That's not the way ffmpeg documents the video_size parameter. A preset for video_size is vga which they have the same as 640x480 and not 639x479. I'm guessing that it is just how SlamIt works. There are three sizes of DMD, I just picked the middle one as it is big enough to see when I am playing and not too large to obscure the playfield. (I'm one of those weirdos who thinks the display should be on the apron. That's where your eyes are at most of the time.) Perhaps one of those other sizes is exactly 4:1. 1 Quote
Carny_Priest Posted February 4, 2015 Author Posted February 4, 2015 Update:I've adopted NVidia's DSR feature as described here:http://pinballarcadefans.com/showthread.php/9055-Pinball-Arcade-in-4K-Resolution-with-new-nvidia-driverThis also works very well for SlamIt. Brings out a lot of detail. Basically, the game renders at 4K and is downsampled to 1080p. If you have a 500 series card or later, you can enable DSR in the 3D Global Settings and select 4.0X downsampling. This allows a 4K resolution option to be exposed and it is selectable in the in-game menu. The DMD is not redrawn to scale. To avoid the need for further increasing the upscaling of the DMD when I capture and mirror it, I've selected the largest DMD size in the in-game menu, 3 pixel, and then changed the capture parameters in my script. Conceptually, everything else is pretty much the same.#NoEnv #SingleInstance force#WinActivateForceSetTitleMatchMode 2DetectHiddenWindows On FileReadLine, dmd_color, %A_WorkingDir%\SlamItDMDColor.txt, 1Color="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1"if dmd_color=redColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,hue=h=300:s=1.5:b=-5"else if dmd_color=greenColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,hue=h=100:s=2:b=-1"else if dmd_color=blueColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,hue=h=345:s=-1.5:b=-2"else if dmd_color=orangeColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,hue=h=330:s=1.5:b=-1"else if dmd_color=whiteColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,format=pix_fmts=gray"else if dmd_color=LSDColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,hue='H=2*PI*t: s=sin(2*PI*t)+1'"else if dmd_color=dreamColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,noise=alls=20:allf=t+u, curves=master='0.0627/0 0.1/0.15 0.9215/1'"else if dmd_color=thermoColor="scale=iw*(1600/384):-1,curves=r='0.4/0 0.6/1':g='0.25/1 0.75/0.5 0.9/0 1/1':b='0/1 0.25/0 0.75/0 1/1'" ; Mirror and flip DMD for P2krun, ffmpeg -rtbufsize 1500M -f gdigrab -framerate 120 -offset_x 3706 -offset_y 1754 -video_size 95x384 -i desktop -vf "transpose=3" -vcodec mpeg4 -qscale:v 1 -f mpegts -threads 8 udp://localhost:1234,,Hide UseErrorLevelSleep, 1000run, ffplay -an -sn -vf %Color% -i -fflags nobuffer udp://localhost:1234?listen,,Hide UseErrorLevelcheckprocessagain:Process, wait, ffplay.exe, 5.5NewPID = %ErrorLevel% ; Save the value immediately since ErrorLevel is often changed.if NewPID = 0goto checkprocessagain Process, wait, %NewPID%Sleep, 8000IfWinExist udp://localhost:1234?listen {WinMove, , , 5760, 400 } ; draw a black border to hide the window borders for the mirror Gui +LastFound +AlwaysOnTop -Caption +ToolWindowGui, Color, 000000WinSet, Region, 0-0 1608-0 1608-423 0-423 0-0 4-23 1604-23 1604-419 4-419 4-23Gui, Show, W1608 H423 X5760 Y400 NoActivate RegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exeSleep 10000 ; remove borders from BigScore adapted from ozon - https://gist.github.com/ozon/2c3b98161329b583b4a5Thanks IfWinExist, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score {WinSet, Style, -0xC00000 ; hide title barWinSet, Style, -0x800000 ; hide thin-line borderWinSet, Style, -0x400000 ; hide dialog frameWinSet, Style, -0x40000 ; hide thickframe/sizebox } WinMaximize, ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big ScoreSend {Enter Down}, Send {Enter Up} process, WaitClose, BigScore.exeRun, taskkill /IM ffplay.exe,,UseErrorLevelRun, taskkill /IM ffmpeg.exe /F,,UseErrorLevel ExitApp #IfWinActive ahk_class SlamIt Pinball - Big Score ; Digital PlungerJoy1::Send {Down down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, 10return WaitForJoy1:if not GetKeyState("Joy1"){Send {Down up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy1, offreturn}Send {Down down}return ; Right FlipperJoy2::Send {RShift down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, 10return WaitForJoy2:if not GetKeyState("Joy2"){Send {RShift up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy2, offreturn}Send {RShift down}return ; Right 2nd FlipperJoy3::i::Send {i}Send {o};Send {l}return ; Exit TableJoy8::Send {Esc}Sleep, 10loop, 7{Send {Down}Sleep, 10}Send {Enter}Sleep, 10Send {Enter}return ; Start GameJoy9::Send {s}Send {Enter}return ; Left FlipperJoy10::Send {LShift down}SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, 10return WaitForJoy10:if not GetKeyState("Joy10"){Send {LShift up}SetTimer, WaitForJoy10, offreturn}Send {LShift down}return ; Left 2nd FlipperJoy11::f::;Send {q}Send {w}Send {a}return ; Insert Coin 1Joy12::Send {1} #IfWinActive 1 Quote
Carny_Priest Posted February 28, 2015 Author Posted February 28, 2015 Update:A couple of fairly minor tweaks:1. I've switched the filters so that ffmpeg, the streamer, now does the scaling and ffplay, the player, now just does the rotation. ffplay has the reputation of producing artifacts when it is scaling, so in theory this should produce better quality. I've found having ffmpeg do the scaling does slightly affect the size of the playback window. I've had to make an adjustment to the border that I draw and lay on top of the playback window.2. Made the script a little more portable. Enter the path to ffmpeg at the top of the script 3. I'm now running a loop that checks for the ffplay window prior to moving it rather than having ahk wait a hard coded period of time. I've started using this subroutine in all my scripts where I am mirroring the DMD. The user no longer has to set their own delays and it works great with the latest versions of the ffmpeg static build rather than being forced to use an older build.

Hopefully the next update will work better. Or else I'll have to try using a different resolution. 1 Quote
Fulltilt Posted September 25, 2015 Posted September 25, 2015 I purchased SlamIt Pinball: Big Score for like a dollar or two in the last Steam Summer Sale. It's a pretty decent game once you do the work of getting the game updated and configured. Steam sells the v1.0 release which is apparently pretty buggy. You must manually apply the patches and updates yourself. Follow the guide:http://steamcommunity.com/app/12430/guides/The patch can be downloaded here:http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/SlamIt-Pinball-Big-Score-Patch.shtmlSupport was added to versions of FPLaunch/HP but I have not seen anything yet for PinballX. It is pretty straightforward though.LaunchSlamIt.ahk and SlamIt.xml#NoEnv #SingleInstance forceRegRead, SteamDirPath, HKCU, Software\Valve\Steam, SteamPathRun, "%SteamDirPath%\Steam.exe" -applaunch 12430,,UseErrorLevelProcess, wait, BigScore.exeprocess, WaitClose, BigScore.exeExitApp<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?><menu> <game name="BigScore"> <description>BigScore (SlamIt)</description> <manufacturer>Technetium Games</manufacturer> <year>2009</year> <type>SS</type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>False</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game></menu> [system_4]Name=SlamItWorkingPath=C:\PinballX\ScriptsTablePath=Executable=LaunchSlamIt.exeEnabled=TrueParameters=LaunchBeforeWorkingPath=LaunchBeforeExecutable=LaunchBeforeParameters= Media pack from BigBoss includes backglass image and wheel image http://thebigboss.org/hostedfiles/slamit_mediapack.zip I uploaded a company logo for the developer, Technetium Games, on the FTP I also uploaded a flyer image based on box art - BigScore (SlamIt) and a table video that I got off of youtube and then rotated using Avidemux I had an issue with my test build where I could start a game but ball 1 would not come out. Tilting would at least get ball 2 out where I could launch it into play. I had no issues at all with playing in my cabinet, however. So far, it has worked great every time but I have not yet had any long sessions with the table.Picked this game up and figured I might try to get it to work in the cab. Thanks CP, as I followed what you did here and it worked! It was more of a challenge to learn how to get it to work in the cab then actually playing the game for me. Anyway .. thanks again Quote
Carny_Priest Posted September 25, 2015 Author Posted September 25, 2015 Cool. I like this table. I have animated instruction cards for this. I think it's in my Other Uploads folder on the FTP. 1 Quote
Carny_Priest Posted December 19, 2015 Author Posted December 19, 2015 Tweaked for Windows 10. Window borders and title bar underwent a redesign from Win 7. No more aero and the basic Windows theme that I had been using and carried over from Win 7 now has thicker borders. I now use the default Windows 10 theme. It virtually has no borders, so I just need to draw a little strip to mask the mirror playback title bar (ffplay). The default height of the title bar is 31 px. The width remains the same. Now, it is a little bit easier to draw a single rectangle than it was to draw a box within a box where the inner box was transparent to allow seeing the playback window.
