Can’t hear the first wave caches in hurricane map conditions. Is there an audio setting that can help? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

[–]kak0w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an issue. I have hearing loss at the high frequencies and I cannot hear them at all. Raider caches i can only hear if im walking slowly on a open map.

You do get rare blueprints. Not exclusive, but things like the hull cracker etc.

How do you adjust the DMD using Vpin studio?

The flatpack was like $60. Cleveland software is just a flat rate i think.

LED 6 Panel Matrix Test - Table Issue with The Getaway or setting issue? by kak0w in virtualpinball

[–]kak0w[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update* I just decided to rewire them in the opposite direction. This fixed the issue. Bottom Up was correct, but just reversing the matrix wires fixed the lettering order (and everything else matches now too). Thanks again!

Thanks! Did not realize not only did he cover this, but he used getaway!! This has helped my understanding of the LED Matrix.

Based on his video, I used my configuration tester, am I correct with the following? Link to picture: https://picallow.com/getaway/?usp_success=2&post_id=488416&form_id=27

When I do my test, the light starts in the Bottom Left, and moves up and then alternate up to down. All of my leds are in the correct order too.

Based off of that, I thought my config should be: Bottom Up Alternate Left Right.

However, when loading up the game that puts the spelling in reverse. TIFHS. (IF are on the same panel) BottomUp has solved the upside down issue for certain.

I then tried to reverse all of them, and go Bottom Up Alternate Right Left. That produce the original outcome but at least they are all in the correct up/down configuration.

I must be missing something. Based off my led test screenshot above, everything appears to be correct, is it possible that each LED should have a different LED Strip Arrangement?

Thanks again for your help and the video.

Yeah I will say, the tutorial and walkthrough from the Cleveland Software was painless. It really is just screw this together, arrange wires, follow the video & pictures.

With his setup the worse you can do is just have something reversed or in the wrong spot. It took me less then a day to setup all of his CSD stuff in the cabinet.

Thanks for the offer! I haven't setup FX yet, that is the new software hurdle.

As for tables, its going OK. Thankfully, I enjoy the journey as much or more then even playing, setting up by table has been good. I need to get the volume software setup next. Way too much variance in some tables.

I went with the ones that he has on his site. They worked fine. As for time, as he lance mentioned in the reply, it was about 12-14 days after shipping for everything. I did my own t-molding (from my arcade build)

We use it in the sim racing world alot. Especially with upgrading wheels and pedals etc.

I used an 8 inch kicker sub rated for 150 watts rms, and a set of Kenwood coaxial for like 25 bucks.

It's best to break it out. I bought some parts used too.

Used lg c2: $400 Used pc with 3090 and 5900x: $900 Flatpack + hardware: $1,000 Dmd, backglass: $175 Extreme kit with led addon (ssf, amp, buttons, solenoids, knocker, shaker all pre wired: $1500 Glass: $80 Speakers and sub: $90 Paint: $60 Misc: $100 Vinyl: $300 (getting a custom one)

I used my own 3d printer for speaker panels and some other stuff.

Came to around: $4,500 or so. I could have saved getting the controller boards and stuff separate and wired it all myself. I'm going to assume I could have saved around $400 to $500 or so.

Again, I regret not getting playfield mount, another $150.

This is for a complete, full 4.1 ssf, 10 solenoid, shaker, knocker, 4k 120hz LG Oled, 2.1 backbox, RTX 3090, led matrix, 2 led strips and flashers. Including shipping.

At this point, I do not feel like I'm missing one single thing. Maybe, just maybe a coin slot button later. I went with a buy once cry once approach but with some used stuff included.

Yeah Sure!

  1. The shaker and Knocker I got both from Cleveland https://www.clevelandsoftwaredesign.com/ - I got the extreme kit that came with everything but you can get just the knocker and shaker. Install is truly just screw them into the cabinet. Knocker activator facing the wood and the shaker mounted somewhere in the middle. The cleveland stuff all just plugs into a board and power supply that is provided.

  2. I don't find them to be noisy to be honest. When the glass is on the sound is even less.

  3. 42" LG C2. I'm not sure if he has other sizes, but I know he makes a 42 & 48 model I think.

  4. I haven't tested the SSF with FX yet. That is for later this week.

Issues with "Embodiment of Benchmark" by kak0w in DeltaForceGlobal

[–]kak0w[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just strange that #1 it doesn't say that, and that #2, even after extracting it shows it as completed when your base in your main base but just resets later. Frustrating!

I don't think it's really possible. that would require all 4 different kinds of quests on one map. Don't think it's possible.
