Trying to add DOF to an original table

[Wizball]

I am trying to add basic DOF support to one of my original VPX tables. I run a desktop setup and do not own any hardware that supports DOF. For now I have two questions:

1. Is there a reference for what positions on a table the “8 bumper” and “10 bumper” solenoids correspond to, so that I have some idea for what to use for when things on my table are hit?
2. Could someone that owns a DOF enabled cabinet please volunteer to test for me?

I found an image explaining the position of the solenoids

Now I need someone with DOF hardware to test my table.

Is the table in the configtool yet ? And, well – my dof is still down, so I can’t help you on this.

No, how would I do about adding a table to the config tool?

That is actually a question I’m not 100% sure about everything, except that @arngrim, @bord and @rand all know. What I believe often is done though, is that you pick one of the “loose” test names and give your table that name ( gamename ) and login to configtool and use that “template” as your own, until you’ve got it working. But, in your case, where you as a author can’t test it. You either have to take @outhere up on his offer to test it, or release it without dof, AND if the table is “fun”, then I’ll bet that you will be offered some help to get it implemented. It is actually a bit of work to implement DOF, you’ve got the table and the setup for the config itself so everyone can download them both and being able to enjoy it. Much work is laid down behind the scene in this community.

For now I’ll focus on adding events to the script. This table was released in 2017 and I got no offers to help with cabinet support then.

which table are we talking about?

i need a game name a the cgamename used in the script to create an entry to the configtool, that will be a good start already

if the table doesn’t exist in the configtool yet of course

The table is Shovel Knight (Original 2017).

It uses a cGameName of “shovelknight”.

The current downloadable version does not yet have DOF events.

@arngrim Thanks to the testing by outhere, there is now a candidate DOF configuration for Shovel Knight that is ready for the game to be added to the DOF config tool. Or do you require a version of the table with DOF events to be available first?

ok i have added the table to the configtool ;)

but yes if you send me a version of the table, i can verify, and maybe enhance the table like the other originals i work on if necessary, to have a full dof experience
