BAM for The Pinball Arcade

How to run BAM with TPA.
1. You need Future Pinball running with BAM with any head tracking method working.
2. Exit FP and run BAM-Tracker.exe (from BAM dir).
3. Select head tracking method (on this video: Kinect 2)
4. Run Launcher.exe to load TPA in DX9. Play.
Next time you don't need to run FP and select head tracking method.

DX11 is not supported.

---------------------------------------
Manual for BAM in TPA.
There is no menu on screen. You need to remember all keyboard keys.
Full list of keys:
F11 - Next preset
F10 - Prev preset
F9 - Turn on/off head tracking

F8 - Setup-mode On. Flying camera. (It helps to setup table).
F7 - Setup-mode On. Normal camera (head tracking or static)
F6 - Setup-mode Off. Arrow keys not active.

F5 - Save current preset to "CurrentPreset.txt"
F4 - Restore preset. (Remove all changes)

F3 - Step = Step / 10; (decress step for every tuned params)
F2 - Step = 1; (reset step to default value)
F1 - Step = Step * 10; (increass step for every tuned params)

In Setup-mode (After F7 or F8):
Arrows Left/Right : Table Angle
Arrows Up/Down: Move table up/down.
PageUp/PageDown: Move table forward/backward
Home/End: Scale table (make bigger/smaller)

So you have 4 params to tune, used to set in-game virtual table in relation to screen.
That for values i call "preset".
In file "Presets.txt" you may find 3 sets of that values. You may add more or modify it.

When you press F5 "CurrentPreset.txt" is created. You may copy values from here to "Preset.txt".

When Setup-mode is disabled (after F6, F9, F10, F11) and when head tracking is disabled, camera is paced in user defined position.
You may change that position with PageUp/PageDown & Home/End keys.

There is file "Settings.txt" with static camera position. You may change it.

------------------------------------------

What if you don't have FP/BAM running?
You may use "static camera". (no head tracking).
In that case first look at "Settings.txt". Here you need to enter: your display size and native resolution. If you use BAM/FP headtracking that information is taken from FP/BAM setup.
