lost prior functionality after updating

[fusionwerks]

hey, im hoping somebody will know the answer to this.

I have a WIP that was created prior to pinup version 1.3. All the scripting was done based on that era. Now that i have updated to version 1.3 i have lost some of the functionality on my table.

anything that refers to pDMDSplashBig or pDMDSplashLines do not work anymore with the number of arguments.

Example:

This works:

pDMDSplashBig “Game Over”, 2, 12632256, 1

This does not:

pDMDSplashBig “Game Over”, 2, 12632256, 0

the last number tells it to blink or not. What do i need to put here to make it show up, but not blink or scroll?

I think you’re talking about PuPDMD functionality?

download this sample vpx/demo and see tablescript at bottom for new/updated functions.

Sigh. I think so. So are you basically telling me that now that i updated, (as well as anyone else) none of the v1.2 scripting will work? I need to completely redo everything relating to the dmd?

Im not basically telling you anything.  i sent you the sample code to compare to what you are doing… nothing has changed between 1.2 to 1.3 about this.

the splash function you are talking about never had 4 parameters… so perhaps you changed it in your script.  these are just helper functions.

your right! When JP and i were trying to figure this out, he must have “adjusted” the helper function to keep it from blinking. This is what he did:

Sub pDMDSplashBig(msgText, timeSec, mColor, Blink)
PuPlayer.LabelShowPage pDMD, 2, timeSec, “”
PuPlayer.LabelSet pDMD, “Splash”, msgText, 0, “{‘mt’:1,’at’:” & Blink & “,’fq’:150,’len’:” & (timeSec * 1000) & “,’fc’:” & mColor & “}”
end sub

so… i replaced it back to the default and everything shows, but now stuff that i dont want to blink blinks. Is there a helper that doesnt blink text?

Sure. If you copy the sub that JP made and change its name to dontblinkstupid, and call that instead when you don’t want it to blink :)

um…thanks? i think you missed the point. If i have it set up the way it is above it doesn’t show up at all, so changing the name of the sub wont help. I may just change the frequency(fq) to a higher number that is longer than the text will be displayed.

Ah. Ok. I thought you said it didn’t blink – sorry.

this is pseudo code..

Sub pDMDSplashBig(msgText, timeSec, mColor, Blink)

PuPlayer.LabelShowPage pDMD, 2, timeSec, “”

if Blink = 1 then
PuPlayer.LabelSet pDMD, “Splash”, msgText, 0, “commands from my vpx”

else

PuPlayer.LabelSet pDMD, “Splash”, msgText, 1, “”

end sub
