Since not everyone maps every button, I'll have to work to combine this with controls.dat info and the default config. Mostly put this in to test. I plan on adding support for controls.dat tonight. --- End quote --- ;D |

Hey guys, I have been playing around with my led wiz for about 3 or 4 days now and have been trying to learn how to program in visual basic 6 ( notice I said learn, I know nothing of programing but the led wiz was what I needed to make me want to try) and what I would like to do is have a folder with lets say 10 animations in it and automatically play each one with an adjustable delay between each one, ( I am using the led wiz on an ice cream truck to control undercarriage lights and other lights on the sides, yea I know seems strange to me to) but I dont know where to start, I have the .ocx file I downloaded from the forums but bottom line is I dont know what to do with it, basically where do I start. thanks for the time. |

UPDATE: I've been doing a little work this week on my crapplication. It will probably be renamed when I release a new version next monday. Anyway, It now can read your config file and light up the buttons without having a layout file. If you have 5 keys mapped to P1_BUTTON1, they will all display with the same color. If your keys are mapped to different buttons they will be different color. Currently the colors are hard coded. I'll be adding some additional configuration options later. When I release a new version on monday, it may not have all the auto-display stuff in... but it will at least be able to figure out whether the game is 3 buttons, 2 buttons, etc and use a .lwa file to display the results either based on your configuration or based on number of buttons listed in controls.dat. I'm not solid on what I can release on Monday yet, but it will be cool. My beta version currently can pull in info from several sources, CFG files, Listxml, ini files. I just need to start combining and comparing all of them. Meanwhile I have to make sure that my code doesn't bloat... nobody wants to lose a bunch of time waiting for their led app to wake up. If the feature set gets too bloated, I may have to set it up to only look at the ini files when you request it to, rather than all the time. I'd like this to be pretty sprightly. |

Just realized today that I could use Mamewah to call my app as App1_Executable... to show the button config while still in MAMEwah (like you might use Johnny5 to show what buttons something uses) I was also wondering the other day how I could shut of my buttons without shutting off the computer. I made a "ledsoff.cfg" and threw it in MAME's cfg files and I set APP2_executable to run that specific file. In the future I'll just make it a -parameter option so you don't have to add another file. These LEDs are gonna make my cabinet a LOT more usable. |
