Quoted from Malenko:welp there seems to be a lot of random fireworks, so Im gonna talk with Lucky and Steve about a way to handle them, but I'll work on all the other stuff in the interim.
"Goal" is totally masked, so no matter what the score is, it'll transition correctly.
That looks very good so far. Eagerly awaiting this!
Quoted from Malenko:Im always up for suggestions and feed back, doesnt mean I'll do it but I'll listen!
I do have a finite number of palettes, I can change the letters to teal if I can use the same colors on other scenes and what not.
Well color scheme of the game is teel and purple. Not sure how to incorporate that however.
Quoted from jdoz2:The crowd is covered in peanut butter.
I actually liked that
Quoted from wxforecaster:Agreed on the use of teal and purple to complement the game.
Also, you seem to be the only one with a grasp on the Pin2DMD editor. Any chance at a vidtorial on its use (esp the new version)? I think there are several of us who want to assist in coloring games but can't make quick work of the editor.
As you know I found the editor terribly clunky and existing explanations/tutorials did not help at all. It always seemed to be the classic defining a word with itself issue... After 15+ hours of trying to colorize the bookcase in TAF I gave up.
Quoted from Malenko:I dont know if I'll do it for the rest of the already done scenes, but it was easy enough for that one, its just a TON of frames. Worth it to you?
not really. i will be happy with anything that i get.
Quoted from Darth_Chuckles:Imma just wait over here patiently for Malenko to finish this and then pray to god he brings a young Christina Ricci into color
This is looking amazing btw
wouldnt mind seeing addams after this one

Quoted from Malenko:Super slow. I do the coloring in my spare time and I've been "hitting the books hard" with trying jump from Sr. System Admin/Engineer to Cyber security (got my Sec+ already)
I want to get back to this but I'm more concerned with my career
Well you spoiled me with constant updates then nothing 
. Take your time, I can wait.
Quoted from Malenko:Wanna be my beta tester? I'll send you a link to the files, you have to tell me what doesn't work (which will be a lot). You might also have to supply some recordings. You down?
I would love to do it but I am afraid that with working 70 hours a week (and holiday prep) I will not have time to provide any good feedback. I do have vacation scheduled for between Christmas and New Years so I could do it then. If that time frame is good for you then let me know.
I will see if I can get the DMD installed in WCS tonight.

Quoted from Malenko:Didnt see this reply :/ Started working on stuff again I can PM you a link to the files if you'd like.
I still have not gotten the dmd installed. i will let you know if i find time this week. work is crushing right now but hopefully this weekend.

Quoted from lucky1:Just to be sure. You need to have the DC-DC converter installed to connect to 12V. The panels need 5V
What is the preferred converter to use here?

Quoted from Wanimal:Love mine![quoted image]
How did you power it?
Quoted from KOAmps:I made an adapter that split the 12v coming from J116 to a DC/DC converter that knocked it down to 4.8v for the screen and controller.[quoted image][quoted image]
Any instructions for this? I need to use mine as it is just collecting dust and wcs seems like the perfect game.

Quoted from KOAmps:Finale scene updated and triggering properly, might change the crowd to teal/blue later.[quoted image]
Nice work. It may be a good idea to set this up on GitHub if for nothing else having backups and also a free place to host it.
Quoted from KOAmps:It is now up on github: https://github.com/KOAmps/WCS94-Pin2dmd
Recorded a dump file from my machine and did a bunch of updates, WCS94 KO 14 are the latest files. Goal! triggers better now, but still is a little late with the brown default palette for a few frames at the start. The animations with dynamic content seem like they'll be the biggest pain. Wonder if I should just trigger individual frames with plain color mask mode or bother messing with the new layered color mask.[quoted image]
Awesome. I ordered the power supply people have been using and will probably put my pin2dmd into wcs.
