Quick tutorial for setting up Pinball Arcade

[igotdvds]

This is spectacular and working well. Thank you! 

 

One question: Is it possible to add a splash image that hides the app until the table is completely loaded? I worked with AHK and got one to load with a progress bar, table name and even mute the audio until the table loaded...BUT...it kills it when PA starts. I thought the brain behind the code would have a better shot. Thoughts?

That's actually how the module works with the DX9 version, fades in from black and the sound comes up as the table is on screen. The DX11 version seems to have issues with it though due to how it runs.

Thoughts on a workaround? Ive tried (poorly im sure) to launch a separate script and place a window in front..to no avail.

With directx9 works perfect here, but the directx11 is config as windowed and it shows a little problem in the tittlebar and also in the taskbar. I'm using windows 7.

Can that config be changed or is that hardcoded in the app?

Like I said, it doesn't work with the DX11 version due to how it runs. No work around that i know of, although I suppose you could play with your system fade settings.

If you find something let us know.

OK I made few more, Sorry its taking so long. I just been making themes for PC Games Lately. I just got back to this project so I will post more in the following days.

Oh and can anyone tell me if I can post a mega link here for all my wheels and videos?

Genie (Gottlieb).zip

Getaway, The - High Speed II (Williams).zip

Goin' Nuts (Gottlieb).zip

Gorgar (Williams).zip

Harley-Davidson, 3rd Edition (Stern).zip

Haunted House (Gottlieb).zip

[Metalzoic]

Fine with me. But why not just upload them all individually to the Download section here so people can find them?

[godisnothere]

I really don't know how. and I'm afraid my themes may not be good enough. And I'm pretty sure you are not aloud to post video snaps here. well anyways I would love it if someone took them and posted them for me. I got more I made within the last few hours. so here:

High Roller Casino (Stern).zip

High Speed (Williams).zip

Hurricane (Williams).zip

Jack-Bot (Williams).zip

Judge Dredd (Bally).zip

Junk Yard (Williams).zip

[godisnothere]

ok I figured out how to post them in the download section I will post them there from now on but I will always post them here first incase they get rejected from there.I think they are nice looking themes. I hope it goes through so others can enjoy.

[godisnothere]

As promised here is the videos I got for pinball arcade all except the main menu one. Ill post a link for that one later. so in this mega link is a 7zip fille of all the video snaps and the wheels I use for these themes I made. just drag and drop appropriately. btw 99% of the videos have no sound for some reason but its the only ones I could find. IF you have better please share.

ok I just noticed now that the theme Frankenstein should be named : Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Sega) and so should the video Frankenstein also be named Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Sega). and the video I included already called  Mary Shelly's Frankenstein (Sega) Should be deleted.My bad I'm sorry for the confusion. hope that clears thingss up

[godisnothere]

ok here is a few more themes for pinball arcade. including the properly named one to replace Frankenstein:

 

Last Action Hero (Data East).zip

Lights... Camera... Action! (Gottlieb).zip

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein (Sega).zip

Medieval Madness (Williams).zip

Monster Bash (Williams).zip

No Fear - Dangerous Sports (Williams).zip

Are your themes in 16x9 resolution? Thank u

[godisnothere]

yes 16:9 , at least I hope so. aspect ratio of 1024x768

Thats 4x3

That's 4:3

16:9 would be 1366 x 768 

 

EDIT: Just to be clear, all themes will end up 1024 x 768. But to make them 16:9 you must design them all at a 16:9 ratio like 1366 x 768 and then squeeze the horizontal resolution to 1024. That way when HS stretches it to fill a 16:9 monitor everything is scaled correctly for widescreen. There are also SWF ways to do it that are more complicated and there's a thread here about that.

[godisnothere]

Alright I'm finally done. I will be posting this in the download section as well. But I intend to remake the first few tables I made for this series, for I got better and better by the end.
