thanks guys...
It is an LCD, it mounts in place of the creature hardware and plugs into the loom. It operates just as the creature normally would, quick flashes when you spell film and then constant when you have found the creature. The image is stored in flash ram on the controller board. there is also an SD card slot in case another image needs to be shown without replacing the built in one.

Hi
 
I’ve received a lot of messages about how this works so I thought id let everyone know at the same time.
 It replaces the original hologram hardware, so you remove the existing hologram hardware and store in a safe place then the LCD hardware can be installed using the existing mounting holes. It plugs into the loom, not needing any modifications.
 The creature appears instantly when called for by the machine, there is no delay.
 The creature will be triggered exactly as its intended. It will flash briefly when a letter is achieved and will be on when you find him for mulltiball, also displayed in the attract mode when told to.
 It comes with a rendered movie of the creature on internal memory, but this can be disabled by a switch so any movie file of your choice can take its place using the SD card slot, so you can change at will what you see in the swamp if you like.
Thanks
Daniel

Hi Dan

Noticed on Pinside the other guy coming out with a very similar item to yours is contemplating a screen saver mode that plays in between the FILM letter and the action multiball mode - would awesome to show ripping water moon lit with a odd creature shadow in the depths.

Do you reckon you could introduce that in yours - would be even better than a black void.
Title: Re: Creature Mod
Post by: Dann36 on October 16, 2012, 12:15:57 AM

Gday mate
Sure, that could be done with an update.

I think showing something like that every so often would be better than all the time though, It is meant to be a reward seeing the creature. Showing an image all the time would detract from the game.

Hi Guys
An update to the creature LCD as i have had quite a few questions and there are a few additions that people have requested that i want to advise on.
Version 1 is sold out and version 2 of the LCD will be released soon (just waiting on some of the extra video animations to be completed). Also those with version 1 will be contacted to bring it up to version 2 at no cost.

Customers had requested the following so version 2 will now have:

Attract mode -- After the machine has been in attract for more than one minute the attract mode will start and display, as soon as a game is started the attract will stop.
Swamp scene -- During play there will be an animated swamp scene playing, this will vanish when the creature is meant to be displayed.
Original Mode -- This will disable the extra features and just display the creature, as the machine originally did, via a switch.
And of course the creature will be displayed in multiball and briefly when the FILM letters are achieved.
There is also provision for people to change the videos to whatever they want to put on if they want something different via an SD card

Below is a link to an install/review video that the Pinball Ninja has done, this is version 1 but the procedure is exactly the same as version 2, it just does not show the extra features. This is a private video of the Pinball ninja so please do not repost the link elsewhere.

http://youtu.be/MeobBSlimdc

Please PM me if you want to be added to the order list.

Thanks and please let me know if there are any questions.

Hi Guys'
A quick view of two of the new modes, There just about complete with only some minor things to be added. The Attract mode will be done soon and i will put up a complete video and game play when there all complete.
The links below show the animated swamp scene shown during play, the creature when you achieve a FILM letter and when you are in mutiball.
The recordings didnt come out the best the video came out washed out, when i do the final recording i'll have to do a better one..
These are my videos unlike the one above so i dont mind if the links are posted else where.





Any questions or specifics please ask or PM

Thanks
Daniel

Hi everyone

A quick view of the Attract Mode, still some things to tweak but this shows what it will be like..

The audio is from the machines sound system and can be adjusted at any time via the buttons inside the coin door or via the dedicated volume control..

Mixed in is also a 3D glasses trailer that will show up in the attract mode for a fun little hidden bonus..

Post by: Dann36 on March 04, 2013, 03:23:47 PM

Looking for some feedback please..

There will be numerous trailers shown in the attract mode ( horror films from the era) along with the creature ones.
As it is now, audio will be played for all of them while in attract..
The other option would be to have only audio for the creature ones and mute the other trailers.

What would you prefer ? Audio for them all or just the creature ones ?
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: swinks on March 04, 2013, 07:15:06 PM
tough one to answer, thinking just have sound for the creature one but the others could be interesting, is it possible to give us a teaser to help decide.


and is the attract mode just played once and then the game needs to be played again to then wait for the 2 minutes to launch the attract mode again - if that is the case maybe keep the sound on all of the trailers. definitely will be fun.
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: goodolddays on March 05, 2013, 10:25:02 AM
Gday Dan .

I see the theme for Creature as  50's drive-in  .

Just watched your clip again and your attract mode update is 50's drive-in so I think sound on for all clips would work well .

Can't wait to have this update running in my game   #*#
 
Fantastic work Dan  ^^^  ^^^
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: Dann36 on March 05, 2013, 03:06:32 PM

The attract mode runs whenever the machine is in attract, its constantly there..

The final one will be around 10 minutes long and repeat itself as it ends. So what i was thinking was to have audio for everything and then every second time it repeats the audio will be only on the creature related clips.
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: Pinballer on March 05, 2013, 06:43:12 PM
I like your idea with the sound on for the first rotation, then off.  Is there anyway to allow the user to modify the sound settings themselves? On all the time, on once or off completely when in attract mode?
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: swinks on March 05, 2013, 07:01:43 PM
I like the idea of the attract mode but it would be nice that attract mode could be at half volume or no volume once everything plays through once, or after 10 minutes of no game play that a clip plays with volume. I think if all the clips were at full volume especially the clip that goes for 10 minutes with volume I would probably turn the machine off based on trying to here other games and where the games sit.

sorry just my feedback

thats cool thats what i asked for..

The entire attract is just on ten minutes, there is no single clip that goes for ten minutes though.
I cant do half volume, but the level can be set with a volume pot independently  of the machines volume level.

I misunderstood you on the ten minutes, I took it as the last clip was 10 minutes but the pot is good for me as is the total of 10 minute clips.

I installed version 2 yesterday arvo . Installation is easy and the manual is easy to follow .

I have to say that I think this version is Fantastic  ^^^  ^^^.
I thought Version 1 was great (and it was) but this is a huge improvement again .

I like the details in the images such as the clouds scudding across the moon and the water pouring off the Creature as it appears .
In fact the Creature looks better than ever .

The video clips in attrack mode add a whole new dimension to the machine too .
No longer is it just sitting there flashing lights after the last song plays (well, if you have the dialog turned off like I do anyway)

I have taken off the light shroud as I found it interferes with the view of the screen , particularly the clips and my game is fine without it .

I highly recommend this mod to anyone thinking about getting it .

Cheers
Dave

Well I picked up my version 2 creature mod from Dan this afternoon.  These come bet neatly packed with a very simple easy to read set of instruction.

Step 1. Purchase the unit
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/zyhudete.jpg)
Step 2. Open it up and check everything is there
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/usaruvub.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/sy8a5a4e.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/hutu8e2a.jpg)
Step 3. Lift your Playfield and remove the original hologram bracket (5screws) and the light shield (6screws) and put them aside.
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/u9u2yqur.jpg)(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/ra8etyze.jpg)
Step 4. Mount the bracket to the back of the LCD screen with two washer for each screw to hold the bracket off the screen
Step 5.  Screw new light shield onto Playfield using original holes only difference is the end tabs are folded in not out to open up the shield.
Step 6.  Screw the LCD screen to the Playfield also using original screws and holes
Step 7.  Run the wires as shown in the manual so simple anyone could do it.  Whole install took me 15min
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/07/yzyge5u9.jpg)

  The new setup doesn't look to much different to the original and looks great way better with the lagoon instead of an empty Playfield window most of the game.     Ill upload some videos soon very hard to video with the LEDs blairing away.

Here is a quick one.  Took a longer video of the attract mode video but not all of it it goes for ages its AWSOME with heaps of what seem to be ok movie teasers etc and an actual 3d section with glasses and everything

Don't know what I'm doing wrong and I'm out of patience here is the link
Title: Re: Creature Hologram Mod - Aussie LCD
Post by: pinnies4me on June 08, 2013, 04:57:38 PM

The link was I think for a youtube *mobile* site, the URL had "youtuDOTbe" in it. PC recognized it, but the forum software didn't (the software predates the mobile site boom). I added the PC style link to your post Daniel to fix.

Looks good!!

the customers had acquired their own mod
I have turned away dozens of people who want these holograms installed because I just can't get them  ^&^  ^&^  ^&^
I have 1 customer contacting me on a monthly basis asking me if they are available  ^&^
Please give us a mailing list or something so we know when you are taking orders or they are available  ^&^  ^&^  ^&^.
this is the plea i have received from several want to buy CFTBL owners

Hi guys'

I have not had the time to come on here a lot lately to update the thread but yes they are still available. Unfortunately the current and also the next 2 batches are all spoken for.

The demand has surprised me a bit actually, i thought i would be able to make enough to keep up but apparently not as work seems to sap all my time away.

As soon as i finish all the current orders i will start taking new ones but only when i finish all the current ones..

I do apologize for not keeping the thread up and will post when im taking orders for the next batch which should be late July early August.

Thanks
Daniel

Only hold up at the moment is some parts that seem to have been lost in the post, the sooner aus post find them the better. As soon as they arrive i can finish off the ones waiting. This is the reason i got around to making the TZ tv's again so if i make more TZ tv's in the mean time then sure.

I have only had contact with Dan via PM so can't help you with an email address or phone number . He is (or was) pretty responsive to PM's .
I did have a problem with my mod (I had one one of the early version 1's , now have Version 2) and he was very good at helping me with my issue.

Life has gotten in the way lately and i just have had no time to do anything but i am finishing up the last run of these soon. i will post here when they are all done so rite now i wont be taking orders until all have been finished, boxed and ready to post.

Ive contacted everyone who has been on my lists and sent them their order with the last two runs i have done, however im sure there are a few who i have missed. With this last run anyone who i missed will have first choice.

 Im using all the parts i have up, so this run will most likely be the final one with the exception of a few custom ones that i have done for some of you ( the best one being matching animation for a guy who had the naked play field art ) that might continue if i have time.

Im sorry for any delays but it cant be helped..


Thanks
