Trying to create similar setup To Terry Red’s Stern Style DMD – AND STUCK !

[TheMatrick]

First off let me say thank you so much to Terry, I know it has been said many times before but the guy is amazing.

i have a 3 screen cab. the dmd screen is a USB monitor and i want to use it like great Terry Red’s setup in his latest videos, so it looks like a newer Stern style dmd.

I assume Terry has created a video which has a neon frame in the middle in which the pup dmd window is placed?  But what is the window being used behind that dmd?

Do I have to edit the pinup menu pup pack?  I assume I do but thats where i get stuck.  Can anyone provide some help on how to achieve this amazing look.

I use Other 2 (screen 8 i think). I have that sized and positioned for the middle screen.

Then I have that screen in the PinupMenu pup-pack set to ForceBack.

In GlobalSettings / Display, you need Other2 set to Active and Update.

Then you use Media Manager to add media to that for Other 2 for your Home Playlist and all other playlists.

Then if you want that video to still play on the middle screen while you are playing a table, then in Emulator settings make sure you add 8 to Keep Displays On.

Now I am a bit stuck on moving the text zones Terry, sorry.  I have located the text file and i can see the x and y co ordinates.

 

If i try and change say home screen ZONE 4 i can only position it on the playfield (default) – how do i move the text zones to a different screen?

Thank you in advance

What you are asking isn’t going to be a simple thing…

What I have on my setup is still a wip….as I’m not sure if I’ll keep everything as it is… It’s why it’s not an official theme yet.

 

You edit this section at the very bottom in PupMenuScriptThemes.txt

 

/////// THEME and LAYOUT SETTINGS - DO NOT MODIFY !!! /////////////////////////////////////
// These settings are required for this Theme and Layout. They are not to be modfified! ///

if (ShowAllText==1) {(pGameInfo = 8);} // change pGameInfo to the screen you want to display text Zones on.
else if (ShowAllText==0) {(pGameInfo = -1);} // (0=topper, 1=DMD, 2=BG, 3=playfield) -1 means OFF!

pGameDetails = 3 ; // screen that Game Details Text is Displayed On.
SplashText_Font = "Digital-7 Italic"; // set the Splash Text font
pSplashInfo = -1 ; // set this to 2 to show splash text on the Backglass screen. -1 means OFF!

pfallback_function_Text = 8 ; // set the Fallback Default Text Zone to display Popper functions on

 

Note, this still may not format things perfectly depending on your screen’s aspect ratio,etc.

Lots of trial and error.
