Discussion thread about the FreeCamera Mod

[nudnick]

So NoEx - have you thought about continued development after the cabinet mode is introduced in a few days? Any plans to develop around both?

Where are you seeing that FS is introducing cab mode in a few days?

ok ... didn't realize there was going to be a Steam Ver key. $150 still kinda spooky purchase. NOEX's services would still be hugely appreciated and needed by many.

Ask Arcooda if they'd take 50 beers in lieu of the cash? (They're Australian. They may actually say yes.)

1) no reason not to think development will continue, especially after June 30th when this version is no longer an option but
2) for those who do get the Arcooda steam unlock - there's also a greater interest in using them together. Especially if the FreeCameraMod can work in conjunction with cabinet mode for direct table launch and support for the missing tables (with or without active backglass) But if NoEx is not getting the cabinet unlock before June 30th all hopes of any development around #2 are moot. I have no problem throwing more beer money at him for the upgrade but that all depends on his interest.

I second this. The free camera mod has been a constant in my life since Noex released it.

Yeah ... I'd throw some beers in too to get NoEx the software.

Waiting to see what the feedback will be on those who have purchased the arcooda steam key. I already own all tables and do not plan on spending thousands ... but animated back glass on 76 machines would be cool on my "not so professional" home made pinball cab.

That would be ideal. If we can get a few people in and he has interest I would certainly kick to the beer fund. I bought the steam license so hoping to see what it is all about in 4-5 days.

Yeah, let's wait for the feedback once it's released, then we'll see what we can do to make the FreeCamMod works with Arcooda and what extra useful features it could add to the already existing ones. DMDExt should also be updated, I'm the developer of the TPA / PBFX3 part of the software.

If you want to download the mod: http://digitalpinballfans.com/showthread.php/10199-DOWNLOAD-Pinball-Arcade-Free-Camera-Mod

Hi you all! I'm new here!

I noticed that the new FCM doesn't support TPA DX9. Is there a version available that it does? Maybe a older one? And where can I download it? My gpu card only works until DX10... :/

Thanks in advance for any eventual help!

 

[nudnick]

Thanks again NoEx for the quick update to the Mod. Long live the Free Camera Mod! I think I'll be sticking to the FCM vs Arcooda. Can't see payin $150 for just around 10 tables that actually have moving backglass parts ... the rest are static anyway. Also seeing that 2 monitor support is jacked up with issues at the moment ... and little time to fix that.

I updated to the newest version of FreeCameraMod and now all the virtual DMD screens that are being captured sizes are off from the Mod. I had all the virtual DMD's set and displaying previously and my DMD files are still there. Parts of the border are cutoff or non-dmd parts of the tables are showing. It almost seems like Farsight changed the location or default size of the DMD so the mod not displaying right. Anyone else seeing this?

 

[Sebinouse]

I've just tested it and I'm a bit disappointed, apart from the animated backglasses (that should be supported soon by FreeCamMod) there is nothing very innovative, even the cam views can be reproduced with the mod.. did I miss something?

Great news !

I can't wait to test ... I hope it will be released soon

 

[jarrod0987]

I have the Arcooda key and is is working. If anyone has questions fire away. 2 drawbacks I see so far. I have a GTX 1080 Ti but when I run TPA with more then one display (even in the same settings) the ball slows down a lot. I notice some of the back glass art is for 1812 ghastly but maybe it was that way originally? Looks over brightened. The others look fine. Maybe we are just asking to much of a video card. I even tried running the second display off a different video card but it did not matter.

I hope, someday, there will be a VR Camera Mod for TPA. That would be awesome.

V1.70.21 is out, do you plan to update the offsets ?
Thanks again for your great work !

 

[Wolis]

First time trying out this cool mod - sadly the versions don't match. Simply posting so I easily keep updated.

V1.70.27 is out. I chose to stay with using the freecammod for my cabinet support. It'll be interesting to see what happens with the future of pinball arcade but for now I feel your contributions are very valuable and most appreciated. Thank you and enjoy the beer.
