Running noex FCM for non-arcooda tables, s7

[hounds64]

Purchased the Arcooda license for steam. Help me with the easiest way to run both Arcooda for the available tables and noex FCM for those unlicensed and in season 7.

Dimensions for noex needs to be 1080 x 2200 and windowed, Arcooda 1080 by 1920 and full screen. Can this be handled by some kind of frontend? The dimension difference seems to be problematic.

I am running both on my cabinet. In your users\My Games\Pinball Arcade directory there is a file called dx11_settings.dat. I saved a version for FCM (1080X2200,Windowed fullscreen) and then one for Arcooda (1080X1920, Fullscreen with the cabinet settings)

From PinballX I have my startup scripts copy a saved version of my specific version settings to the DX11_settings.dat so I can launch either version and not have to manually reconfigure anything. It has worked fine for me without any problems.

Great ! Can you share these files here ? Thanks

Great ! Can you share these files here ? Thanks

It is very easy to create them yourself. Just run the PBAConfig utility and setup either FCM or for CabinetMode. Save your settings (The file is saved as C:\Users\YourUserName\My Games\Pinball Arcade\DX11_Settings.dat) from there just create a new file name (example Arcooda_DX11_Settings.Dat or FCM_DX11_Settings.Dat is what I used). Do this for a settings file for FCM and for Arcooda. Then just copy whatever file you want to run to C:\Users\YourUserName\My Games\Pinball Arcade\DX11_Settings.dat and you are good to go.

I use FCM to direct launch tables from PinballX. I also have Arcooda starting up from PinballX. Depending on what system I run it copies the saved settings file to the DX11_settings.dat.

Everyone's cabinet mode setings will be different based on the monitors and layouts so providing mine won't be that helpful

Ahh OK I never noticed this file ! Thanks for the tip

I gave a try for several hours ... and that's a fail !

Can you share your PinballX config (screenshot or .ini) and the different commands you use ?

Thanks in advance

Sure, I will send a copy tonight when I get home.

Arcooda / FCM settings

As requested

Pinball Arcade/Arcooda store their settings file in a directory called C:\Users\XXX\My Games\Pinball Arcade\dx_11_settings.dat (where XXX will be the name you sign into your computer with)

1) Run PBAConfig and create a settings file for Pinball Arcade to use with FCM. Save your settings. Go to the C:\Users\XXX\My Games\Pinball Arcade folder and copy the dx11_Settings.dat to a new file called fcm_dx11.dat. The name doesn't matter just update scripts as needed to reflect if you change the name.

2) Run PBAConfig again and create a settings file for Arcooda. Save your settings. Go to the C:\Users\XXX\My Games\Pinball Arcade folder and copy the dx11_Settings.dat to a new file called arcooda_dx11.dat. The name doesn't matter just update scripts as needed to reflect if you change the name.

3) Example of the two settings file that were saved from running PBAConfig (located in the Pinball Arcade folder in steam)

4) Picture of my PinballX config for Arcooda along with the two Autohotkey scripts I use.

Run_Arcooda.AHK - This script kills PinballX and then starts PinballArcadeCabinet.exe, it then waits for an Esc key to be pressed, kills PinballArcadeCabinet.Exe and then DMDExt, rotates my playfield back to Landscape. It then restarts PinballX.

Start_Arcooda.ahk - Calls DLL copy to take the saved settings file and copy it back to dx11_settings.dat that Arcooda uses, rotates my playfield 90% and starts DMDExt for my PinDMDV3

5) Picture of my PinballX config for PinballArcade using FCM along with the two Autohotkey scripts I use.

Start_TPAFreeCam.ahk - This script kills PinballX and then starts TPAFreeCamMod.exe passing in the table to run, it then waits for an Esc key to be pressed, kills PinballArcade11.Exe and then DMDExt, rotates my playfield back to Landscape. It has a section to update the PinballX database file to mark this the last table you started so PinballX remembers when it loads back up. It then restarts PinballX.

Start_PinballArcade.ahk - Calls DLL copy to take the saved settings file and copy it back to dx11_settings.dat that PinballArcade/FCM uses, rotates my playfield 90% and starts DMDExt for my PinDMDV3

You will need to update the directories based on your setup but this should get you working. This method is working great for me and lets me go between FCM and Arcooda right from PBX without having to modify settings manually.

 

[Sebinouse]

Thanks A LOT for this comprehensive explanation !

I'll try this evening ...

 

[Sebinouse]

OK so I created my own scripts and they work as expected when I double click on them.

My mistakes were :
- I didn't know the DLLCALL for copy
- AHK was not running as administrator and was unable to kill PinballArcade11.exe

But I'm still stuck : I can't launch them from PinballX even if everything is configured according to your screen shots ...

How do you configure a table via the Game Manager to launch the proper script ?

 

[GAH1068]

Two things to check:

1) Make your FCM settings.ini file has LaunchGame=1 This is what allows it to launch a table on startup.

[Settings]

; Auto launch the game when the mod starts.
LaunchGame=1


2) You have to pass in the right Table names from Game manager and the naming is important. Check and make sure your Game name is set as follows.

[Sebinouse]

Thanks for the tip ... FCM is now working from the PinballArcade system menu of PinballX configurator (unable to make it work from other system).

I'm still unable to launch Arcooda from "other system" as well ... I'm using PinballX v2.5 ... maybe I should consider an update ...

 

[GAH1068]

I am running latest version of pbx. Out of the two getting Arcooda should be the easist since you are just starting a single executable and no parameters. Are you getting an error?

 

[Sebinouse]

I updated PinballX but that was not the issue : PinballX wants a .exe to launch a program not a .ahk !
(.ahk are OK for scripts)

 

[GAH1068]

Are you compiling the .AHK to EXE? All you need to do is run Ahk2EXE which comes the install to create a EXE of the scripts.

damned ... once again I was not aware of this ! Thanks for the tip

 

[GAH1068]

Sorry, I assumed you might be using it already and knew that you could do that.

If you right click the AHK file there should be a compile option there too. Makes it simple.
