Tron Legacy: “End of Line” Pup-Pack! (by TerryRed)

We’re back to the Grid to replace the older Max-Pack with this new “End of Line” PuP-Pack! Completely reworked (using newer PuP features) and has new videos for TILT, Ball Saved, Game Start, Attract mode, Portal, and new Mode Title videos. The biggest new addition is an all-new “PuP-Tracks” music option that replaces the original SAM mono music with a new (high quality Stereo) Original Movie Soundtrack played from Pinup Player!

A video preview of the PuP-Pack with the OST music can be seen here:

System:  Visual Pinball X (version 10.5+)

PuP-Pack: Videos, Media, music, PuP-Pack Editor & PuPCapture files by TerryRed

New Features (compared to the older Max Pack version):

-completely reworked to play videos more cleanly using newer PuP features

-uses PuP displays 11-15. Now there is no worry about conflicting configurations with Popper displays (0-10)

-new Portal Mode and Jackpot videos

-new videos for TILT, Ball Saved, Game Start

-3 Attract mode trailers

-new “shorter” mode Intro videos

-new mode Title videos that play after Intro videos are done

-new Topper videos for Portal and Sea of Simulation

-optional new PuP-Tracks music (that replaces the mono low quality SAM music). Featuring (high quality stereo) Original Movie Soundtracks from the movie

-music playlist feature that allows you to add or remove your own music that can play during the main game mode

Standard features:

-animated neon borders and lens flares that match the mode or event

-optional Topper or Under videos for each game mode and some game events

-videos for all main game events with colours and animation to match

NOTE: Not for 2 screen setups! (unless your backglass is “square”, then you can edit this pup-pack to still run as 16:9 and allow the remainder of your Backglass monitor/TV to be used for your DMD. read how to do this in one of my posts in the support tab):

This PuP-Pack is designed for 3 screen users (with an LCD screen DMD),  or 2 screen users who have a real DMD. The backglass portion of the Pup-Pack won’t be able to display a virtual DMD, due to using two fullscreen video layers. The optional Topper videos will also need a dedicated space or screen as well.

Those users who don’t have a dedicated space for a DMD, will need to use the “2 on 1” or “3 on 1” packs.

=============================================================

REQUIREMENTS: IMPORTANT!

PINUP SYSTEM:

PinUP Player 1.4.1 FULLY installed and setup. (The Pinup Popper front-end is not required for PuP-Packs)

https://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/pinup-system-player-and-popper-front-end-install/

DMDEXT:

DMDExt 1.71 (32 bit x86 files only!) or higher installed in your VPinMAME folder and configured to enable Pinup!

This PuP-Pack relies on monitoring the freezy dmdext DMD for specific images to trigger videos and music (PuPCapture). This needs both the freezy 1.71+ “dmddevice.dll” file, and the Pinup Player “dmddevicePUP.dll” file in your VPinMAME folder.

Ensure Pinup is enabled in the dmddevice.ini file (in your VPinMAME folder):

[pinup]

enabled=true

Note: If you are using a real DMD, then ensure that the freezy virtual DMD is disabled in the dmddevice.ini file (to prevent the virtual DMD from displaying under your game window, etc):

; a DMD that renders with nice dots on a computer monitor

[virtualdmd]

enabled = false

PINMAME:

In the PinMAME settings for the Tron Legacy trn_174h rom (press F1 during gameplay), you must have “Use External DLL” enabled. This will enable the freezy dmdext dmddevice.dll to be used, which is needed for PuPCapture.

”IGNORE Rom CRC Errors” must be enabled to allow any custom ROM to be used.

Your DMD must be in English for all PuPCapture video triggers to work correctly!

NO DIRECTB2S BACKGLASS RUNNING:

You should NOT have a directb2s running on the same screen as the PuP-Pack, or it may obscure the PuP Backglass or cause performance problems!

================================================

INSTALLATION:

Download your choice of the Topper or Under version of the PuP-Pack. If you don’t have either of those displays, then it doesn’t matter which version.

-Toppers version (21:9 ratio videos on the Topper)

-Unders version (even wider ratio videos for an Under screen).

Download the Tron_PuP-Muted Music Rom.zip if you plan on using the OST Music option!

If you have ANY previous Tron Legacy PuP-Packs installed…you MUST remove them first!

Ensure there are NO files in your “PUPVideos” “trn_174h” folder (if that folder already exists).

Copy the PuP-Pack “trn_174h” folder from the download zip archive into your PUPVideos folder.

OST Movie Music (optional). To enable the PuP-Tracks OST Music:

-the OST Music option is turned off by default

-edit the trn_174h PuP-Pack with the PuP-Pack Editor, and change Screen 15 (OST Music) to “MusicOnly”. Then Save.

-you must use my custom “Muted Music Rom” version of the trn_174h.zip Rom file. Copy the trn_174h.zip from the “Tron_PuP-Muted Music Rom.zip” to your VPinMAME Roms folder (backup your original trn_174h.zip rom file first!). This is required because SAM tables cannot have their music turned down or reduced by either VPX or the table’s Service Menu. This custom rom will allow only the PuP-Pack to play music for the game.

Music Playlist for Main Game mode and Hi-Score:

-if you want to add or remove any of the OST music that plays during the main mode of gameplay, these can be found in the “Music – Main Gameplay”. Simply add or remove the music files of your choice and they will be used at random in the game!

-you can do the same for the “Music – HiScore” folder as well

– DO NOT modify any other folders or files!

Topper / Unders:

-the Topper videos option is turned OFF by default

-to use the Topper videos feature, edit the trn_174h PuP-Pack with the PuP-Pack Editor, and change Screen 13 to “ForceBack”, and Screen 14 to “ForcePop”. Then Save.

-Topper videos (21:9 ratio) or Under videos (wider ratio) can only be used if you have a dedicated screen or space for them! If you don’t have that, then keep it turned off!

================================================

KNOWN ISSUES:

-for Disc Wars MB, there is a bug in the rom that sometimes won’t show the “Disc Wars MB Total” display when that mode has ended. As a result the videos and music in the pup-pack for that mode may not turn off when they should. There is nothing I can do to get around this!
