kirsty Posted December 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 How do i get the 7-segs lighten up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dad Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 (edited) In this machine you have to add the lamp numbers manually to a 7 seg display block> If you have a look at the 7 seg properties you see a tick box labelled 'programable'. Tick that then place the first number (232) in box 1 then press 'fill' at the bottom of the list then apply. That should create 1 7 seg block. Choose another block then repeat the process using the numbers below 232 (1st block) 224 216 208 Not all layouts are as complicated as this which is why you were told this is a difficult one, but its a learnng curve for all of us. Hope this helps Edited December 28, 2019 by dad 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serene02 Posted December 28, 2019 Report Share Posted December 28, 2019 It’s a good idea to download a released layout and dismantle and see how various things are done/created. This is a great way to learn the basics especially on your first layout, it can seem a little daunting at first. J 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirsty Posted December 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 I have scrapped a few downloads, some lamps flash but not on mine also the led (when testing go 0-9) but show up on the game as C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 Yeah, it's not so easy working on this tech as your first machine. Try a newer tech, maybe Scorp 5, it has a test mode that basically gives you all the lamp assignments. These are generally the easier machine to work on for a newbie Creating layouts is not for everyone, I had a little background and understanding of fruit machines before I created layouts. But like everything it does take a certain amount of effort, mainly time though J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serene02 Posted December 29, 2019 Report Share Posted December 29, 2019 If you download 'Reg's guide' to building your first layout. It will learn you to build your first layout from scratch, that's what it is. It's a must for anyone starting out. Do a search or check the download section.

Zippy Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) Think you over quoted lol. Not mentioning the sherry again, honest. You just reminded me of when I first joined the forums as I use to screw up my posts and quotingHope you are getting on well with your layout and even if there are tweaks needed after, other designers and Wizard would gladly assist..

Zippy Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) There are quite a few on here and I would say you are spoilt for choice. Your best bet is to pick one of the regulars ..... Vecs pointed this out for you in a prior post>>>>> Learn off the best like Tommy c, Reg, Pook etc and you'll go far but there are quite a few others(also includes Vecs in the list too) Edited December 30, 2019 by Big J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should be 192, 176 and 200, 184 These numbers correspond to lamp numbers, so look at the layout and see if these blocks of lamps change when you insert coins or press the start button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I do is every time I make a change to something is to reset the machine (Ctrl + R). Not all changes happen instantly in MFME therefore you might have been adding stuff correctly but not showing up as it needed a reset. Probably should have said that in my earlier post - sorry Reading Reg's guide is a MUST for anyone wanting to get into layout design. I just wish there was a guide like that when I started. As Big J mentioned (above), there are loads of people on here who can help. Vectra for intance is now producing some very good layouts but in the beginning is was CRAP!, I'm sure he'd admit that himself now but then again so was I when I first started. We all have to start somewhere. I learned from one of the FME masters - Pook who guided me through those early days. If it wasn't for him I'd have chucked it in straight away. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippy Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 You was in my list @dad(yeah right, like we could forget you), Wizard and Fuzion aka AE. Could list many on here but I know many will be glad to help. Just take your time @kirsty, because even Master Pook can take a while to release as designers, well good ones, love detailing and making sure all is good first.

serene02 Posted December 30, 2019 Report Share Posted December 30, 2019 You need to work with the guide and build the layout as detailed. Not sure if there are any blank layouts to download here, possibly over at fruit-emu. Actually, wonder if there is a new ‘blank layout’ option in mfme? That would be nifty.

Not sure if there are any blank layouts to download here, possibly over at fruit-emu. Actually, wonder if there is a new ‘blank layout’ option in mfme? That would be nifty. J Agreed it would be a nice addition for ease of use but.. It takes 2 minutes to create a basic layout. 1. Click Edit Mode (most important) 2. Right click in the main window and choose 'Reel' from the drop down list, repeat that anther 3 times to end up with 4 reels, then line them up side by side by clicking & dragging to where you want them. 3. Add numbers to reels. Go into Design/Reel Editor and right click on each band and choose 'default'. This will place numbers 1 - 12 on the reels. Don't forget to click 'apply' each time. Then close the reel editor. 4. Right click the main area again & choose Lamp matrix (all). Again you can highlight all & drag where you want them. 5. Repeat the same process but with 'Buttons (all Buttons)' 6. Right click & choose LED Display (7 Seg Display). I normally do this twice to get two blocks. 7. Right click & choose Alpha Displays (Alpha Display depending on the layout) Experimenting is the key here. This will give you the bare bones of a layout. There's often a lot more you'll need to add, change & do for certain layouts, but for testing roms etc this is normally were I start. Obviously I 'save layout' so I don't need to re-create it each time, I can just load it in as & when. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
