Introducing Pind: A Pinball Daemon

bmiki75 · November 6, 2013

Well then it seems to work? What does the log say? You need to scan for tables first by clicking on the settings panel on the upper right and go through the options (see first post).

I'm so stupid i think it is stuck while it works perfectly. I need to create an account and use it.

Thanks a lot

I have tried different times and i have reached quite good result except for ipdb match, all my xml table name and description are in HP format for example:

<description>Attack from Mars (Bally 1995)</description>

<manufacturer>Bally</manufacturer>

</game>

<description>Back to the Future (Data East 1990)</description>

</game>

but no ipdb number are added performing Match with IPDB.org.

I have used sqllite browser and only new downloaded table from pind have the correct ipdb match.

Well it's true that it only adds the IPDB IDs when it actually has to write the XML file. You could force that by clicking twice on the HyperPin icon next to a random table in order disable/reenable it, that will dump the XML and add the IPDB IDs.

On second though it might be a good idea to always write them down. Can you open a issue on GitHub for that?

I have tried to force that by clicking twice on the HyperPin icon next to a random table with no result pheraps because i do not hane ipdb number and extra info even in the pind.db browsed using sqllite editor.

Really strange I have made Resync with HyperPin and now it works!

Hi Freezy, trying to get this to work and when I run node app I get an error that says:

Error: Cannot find module 'buffertools'

Hmm do you get that after updating? I've recently added the buffertools dependency but it should be added when running npm install during install. During the automatic upgrade that should be ran as well.

Freezy,

I too am getting this error and breaking my skull to fix it.

Any word on a fix?

I tried doing a fresh install beginning to end 3 times. I get the same error Everytime.

freezy · January 11, 2014

See previous post?

xagesz · January 11, 2014

I don't understand. Clarification?

xagesz · January 11, 2014

Anyone? I still can't get this to fly.

I have dug into my computer and found that Buffertools does have a directory buried in roaming. I don't know what this is doing anymore.

freezy · January 14, 2014

Sorry for responding so late, was busy the weekend and then forgot about it yesterday.

Can you try npm install buffertools while being in the folder where you cloned the repository? If there's any red or errors, paste the log.

xagesz · January 16, 2014

I will try tomorrow. Just got home. I do remember trying that exact line though and there being errors soo i will update soon

freezy · January 16, 2014

Check also INSTALL.md, there are some trouble shooting tips in there.

xagesz · January 16, 2014

my last effort was a full fresh install with all the Install.md tips in place. Im awake enough right now that i will get you a n error sheet in 5 minutes

xagesz · January 16, 2014

This is what I get.

NOthing?

freezy · January 24, 2014

Sorry, forgot about this. Are you running node 0.8.x or 0.10.x? Seems Win7 needs older 0.8.x. Otherwise I unfortunately can't offer you any other tips besides what's under Troubleshooting in the installation instructions. I'm using buffertools for writing the .vpt format so I can dynamically update the table script, but the feature is not yet finished and I probably could do it without buffertools, if other people have the same problem.

However, right now I'm quite busy with work and other projects, so it's not gonna happen very soon.

matty_g_8 · September 16, 2014

Has there been much update to this to make it easier to run?

freezy · September 17, 2014

It's a Node.js thing and there might have been some progress meanwhile. Didn't try to install from scratch since a while now, been busy with other stuff.

matty_g_8 · September 17, 2014

Ill give it a try over the weekend

The other stuff looks interesting I shall give it a go...is there much to do?

freezy · September 18, 2014

Well the other stuff is going to be a hosted service, so it's not intended for running on a cab. You're welcome to check it out though, but it's still under heavy development.

matty_g_8 · November 30, 2014

How is the new vpdb coming along

freezy · November 30, 2014

Good. You can comment on the release upload form here if you want.
