Add VPX TextBox support #218

Open dgrace13 opened 4 years ago

dgrace13 commented 4 years ago

Army of Darkness VPX just came out. It's a reskin of junkyard cats VPX. I'm really struggling to get it to mirror to my pindmdv3. Was curious if freezy would allow that or if anyone has had any luck. Here is the link. Thx https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=14777

This will not be possible with DMD Ext. The developer of that table just used two text boxes for the DMD display and is calculating the text in the VPX script.

Yes, impossible for now, but I'll keep this open because it's an interesting use case we might be able support one day!

Thanks man. Good to know it's on the radar and much appreciated.

This concept would also be helpful for vpx tables like sonic the hedgehog and Scarface, etc., which I believe only has dmd textbox.

The backglass has a DMD, but i do not think you can output those to a pinDMD, only to an LCD DMD?

About the only thing presently that i think will work is modding the table script and having it mirror the text box output to ultraDMD or flexDMD, as the pinDMD can display that.

I have kind of a rough script change started, if you want to play with it It does function, could use some beautification and finishing
