I am a rookie in this VP world and I am enjoying a lot all this, but what makes me really impressed is "pope" guys like you, that understands and works really hard in a very deep level on all this!!!! thank you for sharing all this knowledge!!! it is being fundamental to me!!!!
Probably one of the more important videos for you to make. Navigating DOF can be really challenging, and this sort of tutorial will make a lot of people’s lives easier.
Is there a way to add DOF to tables not on the list. I have a few music tables that are essentially clones of other ones, just different band, so I would assume the DOF should fire on both
can someone add safeaus table too dof config toolor aka safe australia i got vpmamalias for safeaus,highhand but no dof highands got dof flippers ect but not my safeaus
Terry, First off let me thank you for getting me as far as you have with your wonderful videos, but I am hitting a brick wall with DOF. I totally think I have it configured, I mean it shows active in B2S screen when I right-click the backglass. I have no problem creating the files several files that I put in my config folder. I am using a PInscape LIte board. I do get a start light on all games when I put the right amount of credits, however, it doesn't blink when it supposedly should be blinking. I swear I think there is a configuration in PInscape that tells what is a start button, and I feel like it's reading that and not DOF, otherwise, it should be blinking. However, my only other toy I failed to install is a Knocker, that's another troublesome topic that I am trying to reach out to Mike with oakmicros to figure out. So one thing I been trying for a week now on top of this is assigning some 12 volt LED (Red, amber, green) when I play High Speed or The Getaway that light when the lamps on the field of the main freeway traffic signal are lite.. I am thinking this is possible, but I have to ask first cause I have failed miserably thus far making or thinking any of my DOF stuff is working. But in your video, you talk a lot about addressable LED, and I think that is different then what I have. mine is a white LED with a lens on it, apply power and it lights up. But I cannot find any video that takes a lamp on a playfield and help you mimic that as an external Lamp. I figured if I could figure this out maybe I could determine if my DOF is really running the code properly. But I am at a total loss, This video makes it sounds like I should be able to go under the table, on the right side of custom1 put a command L for lamp and I think 73, 74, 75 are the green traffic signals and put something after it that tells it to come on if it's set high in the game. I also set port 7 on my pinscape to be Custom1, I saved and created config files moved them over, nothing.... I've read twice now the wiki, it talks about XML files and stuff. I guess I need a little hands-on with this and finding no video to aid me. Pardon me, if I've overlooked something that was right in my face, I suffer from Atrophy of the brain, and my comprehension and memory skills are shot.. I'd gladly donated to your toy fund if you could personally help me out.
Great video! I am rebuilding a cab that was working fine, but new OS. I saved the original DOF config file that came with the cabinet and most tables (ancient versions) were working okay before the rebuild. Is there a straightforward way to "reverse-engineer" the config file, to import the port assignments in the config tool? I do not know who created the config file originally, but I want to be able to upgrade/add new tables, ideally without having to spend hours figuring out which toy is connected to which port in my Ledwiz and Sainsmart cards. Thanks in advance.
Hi Terry, thank you very much for this tutorial ! I try to remove some knocker noises on the Simpsons Treehouse of Horror VPX table. When I launch the ball, the knocker knocks when the ball cross over some specifically places on the playfield, It is very annoying... I see that the trigger for this ROM (simpprty) for the knocker is S24 and I tried to remove this trigger in my DOF config but it doesn't work. I also tried to find a DOF command in the script for the knocker and nothing. I really would like to understand how to fiw this problem. I have some another tables with the same bug (Metallica Premium Monsters for example). Thanks Terry !
Hey!!!! great video! could you please tell me when can i find commands or line commands to customize the ¨Pinballx table¨ so i can setup beacons at Pinball x start... or... when entering a table i can lit the flashers one second... Tranks!
Hey Terry, thanks for the very well done video explaining all the functions, tools and do's and don'ts of this Config Tool. My question for you: I created an account but received no email or confirmation that the account was created or needs to be validated. Do they have to review every account submittal? I tried using the login the next day and it says create an account again.
vpuniverse was having problems that last few days (it hosts the site). If you still can't get it to work, contact arngrim or randr and see if they will help you.

Very Helpful! I was also unaware of the group option to combine items. Thanks!! :)

Does DOF Config work with the Sainesmart 16?

is there any difference between clicking generate config from the port assignment or table config tabs?
No difference
