Simple Led-wiz helper app W.I.P

I'm just calling ledwiz scripts that you can create with the led-wiz software. None of the animation is a function of my software.... mine just calls those files based on a parameter passed in.

With the led-wiz software you can make really elaborate animations, but they're not tied to the game. If someone ever releases a custom version of mame that works off of events then the lighting can be tied into specifics of the game.

You can make the buttons pulse or fade or turn on and off, chase, whatever you want... all in the led-wiz software LWA files. With my specific configuration, when you go back to the front-end, it defaults to a chaser pattern. When you go to a specifiic game... a file is called based on the number of buttons it uses.

Awesome, Muhati thanks! I'll definitely give this a shot once I have my buttons and LED's.

Ok - DEFENDER=LWZ-FLP:defender <-- is the second defender then name of the LWA file?

mahuti:

yeah... this app basically just copies those =whatever commands to the clipboard. Nothing fancy.

LWZ-FLP:whatever is Led Wiz's command for running a file. You can also do strait commands, but I find that just creating the files and then running them is easiest.

One thing I must note about led-wiz. If you have been using the led-wiz app for making files, you need to quit it and restart for it to properly listen to the clipboard.

If I have some time tonight, I may add more support for things like running a LWA based on  MAME's CFG files so you don't have to manually enter the info in the ini file.

Ooh! I just realized that this little app and the LED Wiz could be used to switch my Suzo inductive joysticks from 8-way to 4-way when a 4-way game is launched.
Nice!  :D
