Sounds like good progress so far. Even some photos in daylight wouls be good to see.
About cab support. I have waited so many years now I don't hold out any hope of seeing it anymore. VP is so good nowadays and is in fact better than TPA in many respects. I will support TPA still, but...
Yes I did suggest for that in a PM when I was Alpha testing :). I also thought a simple hook which an AHK can pick up would be good enough. Maybe write table name to a .txt file, unless you plan something more sophisticated of course.
BTW - thanks again NoEx for the auto offset update build...
Once you go to Full HD in portrait (1920 x 1080 32-bit resolution which is the most widely used setting for cabs) it will make a world of difference too. In TPA DX11 use 1080 x 1920 as the setting.
Progress is looking great!
Many thanks for the new update NoEx and the offline mode. I will give it a go the weekend.
I guess the button that cycles through cameras will also work when hotkeys are disabled like the Fn keys do (as mentioned in your release notes)?
For tables you will never build such as EMs would you consider getting another developer such as Ask build them on your behalf. Maybe some kind of sub-licencing deal, as it is a shame to lock up 100s of licences you know you will never have the resources to build.
At the end of a game on some tables the locked balls are released, and before you know it the score pops up before the balls even get to drain, and a restart resets the table. Would it be possible to leave the table in the last state it was played, letting the balls drain fully, with no popups...
What do you think of the 3rd party TPA camera mod built by NoEx? This has made an incredible difference to the playability and enjoyment of TPA. Would you consider implementing something similar into TPA to allow bespoke camera angles to be saved on a per table basis?
Or maybe ask them if they would consider throwing in a free EM per season for Season Pro passholders. That way the DMD loving cry babies won't.... cry.
Sounds good NoEx. As quite a few of us don't have internet access on cabs, if the offsets can be in an XML or similar that can just be copied to the cab on a mermstick that would be great. That is the way I upgrade my cab, download on normal PC from Steam and then copy files over.
Thanks :).
If we get all these tables in the next season then I will buy 10 members here a season pack each :)

Sounds like you are going to put the PC box inside the cab, whereas most people build a PC on a board and don't have a case to aid cooling. For a good PC with a decent graphics card wouldn't the cased PC be too big?
If you can get away with a cased PC in the cab then the heat would definitely...
I am sure you have planned it already buy don't forget to order some case fans for the cabinet and grills - might be worth sourcing some quiet low dB ones.
Great video. Those tools are awesome, especially liked the vent hole drilling thing. :cool:
The interchangeable speaker panel to switch between screen and DMD is an awesome idea. It's the first time I have seen that in 5 years in this hobby.
