woodsy Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 i can't work out how to embed the video. sorry. but the idea is for dx's with smaller wording perhaps to have them large and attributed to the lamps as in game, this can't work due to attract mode issues would mean it's on too often BUT perhaps as side art? I'm just playing with a idea and didn;t do all the bonus words in case you noticed that. bit of a slowdown in performance noted but i think it looked cool!! any fml artists with better skills up for messing around with this? @vectra666 @dad @slotsmagic @Tommy c @serene02 @Reg and many many many others of course all feedback appreciated> it's never likely to happen but i found the idea worth presenting to the artistic souls who might see its possible over not It's a CRACKER [Edited] 2022-03-15 18-32-17.zip living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodsy Posted March 15, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 thinking on this perhaps it's viable for decals with more than one lamp, therefore disable one from the attract somehow and use a mask to clear it.. i dunno........... living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 You can use the same lamp number on another entitythey will both activate as usual J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slotsmagic Posted March 15, 2022 Report Share Posted March 15, 2022 As said above there's no reason it can't be done. Something that I kept forgetting is that when I was trying to get my late father into MFME, he struggled with his vision. Going through something similar with mum now (macular degeneration, and thanks to the current hospital backlog, she's currently been waiting 4 months for a 4 weekly appt for eye injection). There's absolutely no reason why layouts can't be tweaked like that, it would make things easier to people who possibly have vision issues. If you don't mind me asking, is that the reason you are doing this? Vision issues? I only ask as despite feeling old (36) and having terrible vision (thankfully corrected with lenses and specs) I don't struggle with any layouts on my devices really, including my teeny laptop / tablet combo. Sure others will chime in with suggestions Currently owned digitals : T7 Encore, T7 Original, Astra iPub and Storm Street Casino. MFME cabinets : Genesis cab DIY by No1Stoney, Interplay conversion and Vegas Strip conversion (both are works in progress!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure others will chime in with suggestions no not yet but i did have it in mind a little but felt a little megalomaniacal suggesting it haha but it was actually because on the last few layouts i've encountered lots of difficulties with the contrast area where shadows were not allowing for details to be reaad clearly, that has led to me brushing in the black areas and it's time consuming and annoying tbh.. so i thought if the areas that are harder to distinguish could be brought to the fore in the same way virtuals would take party games for example on a ? the box comes into the main and does it's thing, my idea was to have the bonus words on this example to pop up in the same way as that, then of course they'd be out of sight until needed.. tbh ithought it looked really cool as a thought, but the actual design and workings would be far better of course, however i hoped it would be enough of an example to maybe spark a fire in a better skilled designer i might try it on a layout as an example, it won't be perfect but it will enable public opinon? living the dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 It would only be possible by using same lamp numbers for multiple entities. There is no way of disabling those lamps in attract mode. This has been done in the past I believe. I wouldn’t look pretty to be fair. May as well just have a large font classic. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
