Arcooda Direct Launch for PBX

[GAH1068]

I'll upload my FCM settings Ini, can't think of anything else that would cause problem.  Not a script or PBX if that doesn't work from there

@hawkeyez88

Attached is my FCM settings.ini.     Update the file for your monitor config and see what happens.     If you can't launch a table outside of PBX then it has to be something with your

settings with FCM, permissions or something to that effect.       You might have to ask NoEx in his post on DigitalPinballFans.com and see what he thinks.   It has always worked for me once configured right so I am at a loss what else to try.

Glad you got it sorted out, not clear why your in game controls would have done anything in the first place.

It was like my select/enter button would never do anything when FCM & PBA started. As soon as I reset and only changed my flippers, it worked flawlessly, even in full screen mode.

[GAH1068]

Interesting, I guess that would make sense since FCM is sending an enter key at startup to get to the menus.       If it somehow got mapped that would at least explain why.

Thanks again for all of your help on this!

And just like that --- 1.71.17 cabinet is out.

[GAH1068]

And now we wait for next FCM build so things work again.  Ordered a kinect 2.0 USB adapter to try out it with arcooda build 

[GAH1068]

NoEx replied to my post already, said new build should be up in a few hours.

Man he's quick! I'll be putting the new version on tonight and testing, as I'm sure you will be too. I ordered the Kinect too, should have it before the weekend, I'm extremely interested in this!

[GAH1068]

I installed over lunch.   Tested a few tables and looks good.    Now I can play with Kinect tonight.   UPS will deliver the adapter sometime later this afternoon

The Kinect with TPA is pretty awesome. 

The search for the usb connector was not easy, but ordered it end of June.

I hope that one day VPX will also support kinect 2.0

Does anyone have the full pbx database.xml file with all the cabinet tables in it?

And would like to share ?

[GAH1068]

Here is my Arcooda database file with all the tables.

I messed around with the Kinect feature.   It is cool, but to me, more of a novelty.    Not sure if I will play a ton with it on.   Going to give it a few more days and see how I feel about it.    

[hawkeyez88]

GAH - to get your standard PBA tables to launch are you using the built in system area in pinballx?

[GAH1068]

No,  I use custom one for that as well.   

Ok - I take back the Kinect is a novelty feature.   The more I play the more I am liking  it.   Once you start getting use to the movement it is pretty cool.

I've always been curious of this...off to youtube I go to see what this is all about.

[BrandonLaw]

This to me looks unbelievably disproportionate.  It looks like the fish tales' lock ramp is 15" away from the playfield.  Is this what you see when you play?

[Mike_da_Spike]

You mean with the kinect ?

No just shows you yhe normall playfield, it only moves the camera a bit when you move your head, so it looks like you can look arround the object. 

I made some videos a couple of months ago in my test env. Not sure how I can share them

[GAH1068]

I haven't tried all the tables using Kinect.    I played Funhouse and Whitewater for about an hour or so (use to own both tables about 15 years ago so they are still among my favorites) and then tried out TAF, Circus Voltaire, TZ and Dracula.    

I must not have calibrated the kinect right the first time because the tables felt disproportionate as @BrandonLaw said.    If I moved too much it really through things off kilter.     After calibrating again things are much better and head movements don't cause such dramatic changes.    

 

 

[BrandonLaw]

@GAH1068 That makes more sense.  The vid I checked out this morning on youtube may have just been a 'general' view uncalibrated for the user and looks ridiculous to the masses

Thanks Gah - I created another script too and was playing with it last night. Thanks again for your guidance.

Hi

I am making progress but stuck here:

I have obtained .17 version of Arcooda and the latest version of FCM

However, the .17 version of acrooda does not run, I think because I do not own a KINECT.   Is there a version of FCM fro Arcooda version .14?
