DOFLinx_FX2 questions/issue

[rablack97]

Hello All, 

 

Make sure you back up your .ini file before copying over the new 5.20 files, it will wipe out your FP_LINK settings and any other modifications you made to the file.

 

Hello Terry,

 

Just to confirm setup on 2 items.

Line added to INI file

# location of your standard DOF outut configuration file.  Keep this as the first item in the file
DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig.ini
DIRECTOUTPUTGLOBAL=c:\DirectOuput\config\GlobalConfig_b2SServer.xml

 

Also, I have a DOFLinx_FX2 folder, within that folder I have an FX2 folder with the .fx2 files.  Is this correct, or should the FX2 folder be in the DirectOutput folder.

I noticed in 5.20 there is only an FX2 folder with no DOFLinx_FX2 parent folder.

I'm not at home, but yes...always keep your own DOFLinx.ini backed up when updating DOFLinx.... or don't overwrite it with the new *.ini file.  

 

I have to check at home, but I just have an FX2 folder and an FX2_B2S folder within the DirectOutput folder. You need to specify the path for both I think.

 

Pinball FX2 was just updated by Steam in the last few days. DDH69 updated 5.20 to work with that update. So if your version of FX2 is older, then it may not work with 5.20 until you update FX2.

 

I will check my DOFLinx.ini later to confirm what I have.

ok thanks can you send a screenshot of your direct output folders as well.

LINK_LF=117,50,10000,255
LINK_RF=125,50,10000,255
LINK_LS=118,50,500,255
LINK_RS=126,50,500,255
LINK_ML=127,50,500,255
LINK_MC=128,50,500,255
LINK_MR=129,50,500,255
LINK_BL=130,50,500,255
LINK_BC=131,50,500,255
LINK_BR=132,50,500,255

LINK_GR=116,750,10000,255
LINK_KN=124,120,500,255

Also these lines were missing, but i think those were for the extra flashers we have on the backbox.

LINK_FLOL=117
LINK_FLIL=120
LINK_FLCN=123
LINK_FLIR=126
LINK_FLOR=129

Can the troubleshooting taking place here be handled in the PinballX General forum? That way others will benefit when looking for a solution to their own related issues?

[rablack97]

Sure not a problem....I'll refrain and let Terry create one and i'll add to that.

No need, I was able to split it from his Pinkadia thread to the correct location!
