I had the time to work on this and I've found a workaround to direct launch the special tables (GhostBusters, WhoaNellie, ..), the fix will be deployed in the next patch (in about a week).

[MENTION=5267]NoEx[/MENTION] - Thank you, Beer donation included! Appreciate all your hard work!

Great piece of news ! Congrats !

Does this new method works with PinballArcadeCabinet ?

Have you tried to use FCM with PinballArcadeCabinet.exe instead of PinballArcade11.exe? If not I am going to give that a whirl when I have a few minutes. Based on what NoEx said it might work, never even thought to try to change the name of the TPA .exe that FCM starts.

Update: Gave it a try, doesn't work with PinballArcadeCabinet.Exe. FCM starts running and it starts the EXE but just sits at a black screen. Was worth a shot

I’ll try to add this feature to the next patch, it will be delayed a bit.

Feel free to test the new features and come back to me if you find bugs. Thanks!

Wow, Thank you. The direct Arcooda launch is HUGE!!!! Going to test right now.

I updated settings.ini to launch PinballArcadeCabinet.exe and so far Direct table launch using Arcooda is working! Thank you, this was the missing piece!

3 questions :
- I’m using a pinballarcade11.bat to have a -skipwhatsnew option. Do I still need this option or it is included in FCM ?
- do we need to change settings.ini if we want to switch from FCM to Arcooda and then back to FCM ?
- does it work offline ?

I’ll test as soon as possible

What I did was to create two folders. One called ArcoodaFreeCamMod and one called TPAFreeCamMod. That way each one has it's own settings.ini and configured specifically for each system so settings don't need to be
changed constantly.

I was using the -skipwhatsnew for the previous version but when I test launched a table or two from a command line there was no whats new messages displayed so this might not be needed going forward or Farsight doesn't have a
message right now.

Thanks for the tip ... for my part I added a copy/paste command line in my startup script ...

First tests are looking good

I noticed we can create an Offline.Arcooda ... I don't know if it's useful or not ...

 

[NoEx]

This new update should answer your questions:

Changelog:

- Added "skipwhatsnew" command line parameter when the mod launch the game.
- Added a feature to autolaunch the right game executable depending on mod's gametype (TPA / Arcooda).
(Should be easier for people starting TPA & Arcooda from a frontend, you don't need to edit Settings.ini file each time, just set your game folder in Settings and you're good to go).

And yes it's working offline.

 

[Sebinouse]

Working great here !

What path do we have to put in the Settings.ini ?
PinballArcade11.exe, PinballArcade11.bat, PinballArcadeCabinet.exe or just the directory ?

 

[NoEx]

Set it by using the new Settings page (traybar icon > Settings)

[MENTION=5267]NoEx[/MENTION] - The new version is running great. The ability to just specify the directory was a huge help!

Should the new version DMDExt work with newer Stern tables in TPA now? I am not getting anything on my real DMD from any of them I think Freezy replied that you had
provided that code.

[MENTION=5267]NoEx[/MENTION] - another new build from Farsight of both TPA and Arcooda. Thanks!

I’ve been informed that the current version has some issues with Stern tables, I’ll check the code asap.

Thanks for the lnfo, I’ll publish an update in a few hours.
