Simple Led-wiz helper app W.I.P
mahuti:
I built a simple app for the led-wiz last night. You call my app from a commandline with a parameter (usually a romname) and it will copy relevant led-wiz script to the clipboard. You can download it here.
You configure it with an ini file like so; ROMNAME=LED-WIZ Command. In my case I'm calling led-wiz LWA files that I created with the led-wiz app.
[default]
PACMAN=LWZ-FLP:nobutton
MSLUG2=LWZ-FLP:3buttonneo
MISSILE=LWZ-FLP:3button
MSPACMAN=LWZ-FLP:nobutton
OTWALLS=LWZ-FLP:nobutton
OMEGRACE=LWZ-FLP:2button
RAMPAGE=LWZ-FLP:2button
DEFENDER=LWZ-FLP:defender
JOUST=LWZ-FLP:1button
DEFAULT=LWZ-FLP:blah
I made this app so that I could highlight the buttons used in a game or even make the buttons the colors of the original buttons on the fly. You can make it do anything you want, though... the parameter doesn't have to be a romname, so go nuts.
I shot a short video of it being used with Mamewan and set49way. You can view it
Be warned... it's about 9 mb. You'll see, in the front end, a default animation is called, when I go to a game, a specific layout is called. You can see in the video, when I call Missile command, I didn't have the romname correct in the ini file, so it continues playing the default anim.
I MAY put in an ERROR default anim. I wouldn't hold your breath though on that or any additional features, though. This is just a hold-me-over until somebody comes out with more / better comprehensive software that can do the same thing.

I've said it before that lighted stuff isn't really my bag...but I must admit that's a very cool setup :)
Now I need to argue with myself about whether I need this...I thought I'd nearly finished my stick panel...

Cool! I just got my Super-Bright LEDs and gave the LED-Wiz its first try last night. Once my vision returns to normal (thems LEDs be real bright) I'll definetly give this a go!

You know you wannit. Everyone else is doin it. Come on try it. (peer pressure) ;)
MYX:
You know what the seller of that video is, you hopped onto some game (whick you escaped from before it came up) and the 3 buttons went very different colors. That was cool. durring the attract mode does it refer to a script or animation preset or what? Also, I noticed that on the first game that the button pulses on and off is that an animation you asked it to do? Can you elaborate more on the deeper set up?
