Modded JPSalas Tables
uncmonky opened this issue · 5 comments
When using the instructions for using FlexDMD with JPSalas' tables (e.g. "Miraculous") it works flawlessly.
When using the same instructions for using FlexDMD with a modified table based on JPSalas' tables (e.g. "The Last Unicorn") I get an error.
the code
If Not FlexDMD is Nothing Then DMDScene.GetImage("Back").Bitmap = FlexDMD.NewImage("", "VPX." & dLine(2) & "&dmd=2").Bitmap
returns the error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Any advice on how I can make it work?
There are 2 things involved:
- first you need to adapt the script the same way as for Miraculous. I have commited the modification on GitHub, you can find it in the Script folder.
- second, there was a bug in FlexDMD which would not let him use the image used in The Last Unicorn since there are palette indexed images (other tables use more traditionnal format). I have fixed FlexDMD to support these images as well. You can test the new version with this (prerelease): FlexDMD 1.5.0.zip
Please report here, if the provided elements fix the issue. Regards
Excellent! Thank you very much.
@uncmonky I will be releasing the 1.5 version soon. I would prefer to avoid having the prerelease advertised too much for the moment since it will confuse people when the real 1.5 will be out, but you can put a link to the page of this issue: #5. I just have a few other little improvments to pack in and it should be out int he coming week.
