DOFLinx not working in my cab

[bill0r]

wow, ignore all that… rookie mistake :)

All good now. If you have to know, I had commented out the line where it looks for the .exe processes…

Hi,

I had managed to get DOF working before I upgraded my hardware and started from scratch on the software side. DOF works perfectly fine in Visual Pinball, but I am trying to use DOFLinx with FP and FX2, and I can’t get the toys to trigger.

Quick details on my setup:

• 3 Screens (PF/BG/DMD)
• 1 x LEDWiz
• 1 x ZEB’s booster board
• 1 x iPac controller
• 10 x contactors
• 1 x LED Strip under cab
• 1 x Replay knocker
• 2 x LED Flashers
• 2 x RGB Flippers

I have DOF under “c:\DirectOutput”; I have a shortcut to that folder inside “C:\Visual Pinball\Tables\plugins”. DOFLinx is installed under “c:\DirectOutput” as well.

I have the latest config from the DOF Config Tool as of today. Here’s what “c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig.ini” looks like–> https://pastebin.com/tG1kGWLR

Here’s the contents of my DOFLinx.ini looks like –> https://pastebin.com/39jfAASU

I have DOFLinx configured to start from PinballX before a table launches (and to stop as the FP process ends); for testing purposes, I am launching DOFLinx manually at the moment with no luck.

Test scenario:

Run DOFLinx with DEBUG=1

Launch Future Pinball

Load Iron Man table with DOF support

Here’s the output in DOFLinx.log:

I have messed with the GlobalConfig setting and tried to make the configuration file, but I am stuck when it asks for the cabinet.xml file. I did not have a cabinet.xml in my previous setup and all seemed to work ok.

Thanks!
