wrd1972 Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Feature request: Can the "scrolling" speed be reduced when browsing tables? Is it possible to slow down the rate of speed when you hold down the flipper button to browse the many tables...and the tables "whizz by"? It would be much easier to more quickly find the table you want if it were about 50% slower or even better, adjustable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellogs Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Hi Tom, still dreaming about Score- and playcard monitors. I found a model, that would fit, arround here https://www.elv.de/faytech-touchscreen-monitor-17-7-cm-7-silber-1.htmlhttps://www.elv.de/faytech-touchscreen-monitor-17-7-cm-7-schwarz-1.html is there a way to integrate this, would be so cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PcTeknic Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Hello Tom. Is it possible to do something in PinballX to be able to call Future DMD only on the tables that use it? Currently Future DMD runs on all tables, use it or not, and we can not put a DMD image on tables that do not use it because it is covered by Futire DMD. I think it could be done in the following ways. 1- Database associated with launch before. Future DMD is currently configured in the Launch Before. PinballX could do the following: If HideDMD = True then Launch Before Program If HideDMD = False then do not run it. This would work, but it may be that someone uses the Launch Before for something else. 2- Tags in the database Add a tag with something similar to this <LaunchBeforeProgram> True or False </ LaunchBeforeProgram> This would be a good choice. 3- To be able to execute it from the tables that use it. This would be ideal, but I do not know if it can be done or how to do it, add some line to the table script to run FutureDMD. ---------------------------- Hola Tom. Es posible hacer algo en PinballX para poder llamar a Future DMD solo en las mesas que lo usan? Actualmente Future DMD se ejecuta en todas las mesas, lo usen o no, y no podemos poner una imagen de DMD en las mesas que no lo usan porque queda tapado por Futire DMD. Pienso que se podría hacer de las siguientes maneras. 1- Base de datos asociada al lanzar antes. Future DMD actualmente se configura en el Launch Before. PinballX podría hacer lo siguiente: Si HideDMD=True entonces Launch Before Program Si HideDMD=False entonces no ejecutarlo. Esto funcionaría, pero puede ser que alguien use el Launch Before para otra cosa. 2- Etiquetas en la database Añadir a la database una etiqueta con algo similar a esto <LaunchBeforeProgram>True o False</LaunchBeforeProgram> Esta sería una buena opción. 3- Poder ejecutarlo desde las mesas que lo usen. Esto sería ideal, pero no se si se puede hacer ni como hacerlo, añadir alguna línea al script de la mesa para que ejecute FutureDMD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carny_Priest Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 It is possible to have PinballX selectively launch FutureDMD based on database xml tags if you are willing to code an Autohotkey script to do what you want. The source code for LaunchVP.exe provides an example that you can use based on the supplementary xpath functions (also included in the zip file). Another example that you can use to code a solution is PBXRecorder. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PcTeknic Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Thanks. I'm going to read it, look, I've been looking for several days .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carny_Priest Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Oh, and of course you can always set up a second Future Pinball system in the Settings Wizard Custom System window. Move the tables that don't require FutureDMD to the second xml. On the second system, do not launch FutureDMD prior to launching Future Pinball. This solution requires you to keep up with two Future Pinball databases. Without other measures, it would also require setting up two sets of media. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PcTeknic Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 Yes, that would be one way to do it, two separate systems. With the .ahk scripts it could be done, but it is also complicated to do so as to explain to a user how to modify and compile the script. What I'm trying to do is simplify it. A tag in the style database to: <RunFutureDMD> True or False </ runFutureDMD> or <LauchBeforeProgram> True or False </ LauchBeforeProgram> I think that would be the easiest thing for all users. ------------------------------------ Si, esa sería una forma de hacerlo, dos sistemas por separado. Con los scripts .ahk se podría hacer, pero también es complicado tanto para hacerlo como para explicar a un usuario como tiene que modificar y compilar el script. Lo que intento es simplificarlo. Una etiqueta en la database del estilo a: <runFutureDMD>True o False</runFutureDMD> o <LauchBeforeProgram>True o False</LauchBeforeProgram> Pienso que eso sería lo más sencillo para todos los usuarios.

senseless Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 A majority of the media files are currently duplicates to support the various pinball systems on my cab (visual pinball/visual pinball x/pinball arcade etc). Especially for backglass and topper videos this duplication has quite an impact of available storage on my ssd. Request: can PinballX also have a generic media folder that you can activate for multiple pinball systems and share media content? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain1986 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 Hi I know these were suggested much further back but I don't know if there's plans for these, they were lost/forgotten or there's already some way to do this so asking here in case as well! There's two feature requests I think would be quite nice to enhance the whole experience... 1 - Custom loading images was suggested, but actually 1 global option to be able to either continue to display the videos on all screens....or if this is an issue performance wise, to show the table, dmd and backglass images for the table thats being loaded....with maybe the "Loading..." text over the top. That way the loading transition will look more seemless as the table image will suddenly become the actual table... 2 - Separate button/input for Show Info/Filters etc. I love one click launch, but then you can't have filters. Ideally I want 1 button on the front of my Cabinet to "Start" and one to show the Info Menu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vogliadicane Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 ^^ for point 2 i suggested once to have "start table" when short pressed and "menu", if longer pressed. Then even one button (like in my cab) would be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senseless Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 How does it normally work with feature requests? Is there a feedback loop on which ones will be added to the next release or some other process? Thanks :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 Only Tom could answer with certainty. My guess is that priority is given to bug fixes first, followed by feature requests based upon complexity vs. utilization by the community vs. on a whim - just sounds like a neat idea.

rablack97 Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hello Tom, Not sure if this was requested, yet. Is there a a way to show thumbnails in the game manager when downloading the table graphics. Its a PITA to select each one just to see what it looks like, if there was a small thumbnail to the right of each graphic that would save so much time.

Carny_Priest Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi, it's not something I'm particularly interested in for myself, but it was mentioned in another forum. Animated wheel images, PNGA format support I guess. I'll throw the idea out there to help gauge interest. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
