Title: PluginLCD save problem
Post by: thesharkfactor on March 20, 2010, 02:31:27 pm

hi guys,
hope someone can help..
i using the latest version of gameex and im trying to configure the led buttons on my control panel using a PACDrive..

trouble is, i set the buttons up within PluginLCD, but i cannot save the settings..

this picture here from the (ultimarc site) shows a "save" and "exit" button in the window...

..i do not have the save or exit button in my window. all i can do is close the window, but this does not save my changes.

can anyone help?

cheers

Perhaps your resolution is so low it doesn't fit the window onscreen?

Right-click on "Configuration" in the taskbar and select Move then use the up cursor key to move it up. When you can see the Save button left click the mouse on the window then click on the save button.

thankyou for your reply and i must commend you on your great peice of software..

for the record, with a resolution of 640x480 the save and exit buttons will not show, i can see the just see the bottom of the window and it has definatley no save or exit buttons. they will show if the res is at 800x600 or above. i can also resolve the problem in 640x480 by tabbing down to where the save button is hidden and pressing space to confirm. (info found after a lengthy search in the internet!)

it is my understanding that the only editable region of the plugin window is the area containing the save and exit buttons.. by editable, i mean windows will cut that bit out to make the window fit on a low res screen.

perhaps you could look into this for the next update of the plugin as im sure many folks will be configuring this on an arcade monitor at 640x480- its tricky to switch back to 600x800 especily when the vertical roll needs adjusted, or another monitor needs plugging in and soft-15khz uninstalled so it'll run on a 31khz monitor again- then repeating the process a couple of dozen times while setting up the plugin! lol..

otherwise.. a super bit of software- the led's have transformed my cab- and it talks now too!

cheers

Thanks for the kind words. I do try to keep in mind the low resolution of arcade machines.. I probably just should knock that banner off completely, that should do it ;)
