NEW and improved Ghostbusters the video game haslab gp star upgrade project updates 

Thank you!

@@made1981 I am I hope I can continue improving

Thank you so much! Yes I suppose that makes sense I think it might still be a good idea to implement a slight delay before reset so that if you accidentally let off the trigger it doesn't go back to zero if you were trying to get it to vent I'll definitely have to post updates as far as making a bargraph animation that keeps track of heat and overheat tracking in general You are the first person who has reached out to me as far as coding goes from the original gp star project I tried a few times to get in touch through the contact email on the gp star website and I think I wasn't taken seriously or maybe there is just someone else answering questions on the website that didn't want to provide anything further as far as people who could help from the original project I would really love to talk with someone who has worked on the project and could provide more insight on the current functionality since I was not part of the original design team when this has kept having updates I was kinda thrust into the middle of a huge 7000+ line code without much knowledge on how and why it got that big I think currently my code even though it mostly functions comes off more as a hack since it wasn't designed in the same way and I implemented other methods of getting things to work which might not be as smooth as the original designs I would love to help contribute things to the project and I would really appreciate if anyone from the original project could just sorta go over some things and how they operate so I can smooth my code out more Thank you in advance

Thank you lovie

Thank you! Also I really appreciate all your videos you have made on installation It must take hours and hours to film and edit

Thank you so much! It depends on your crafting abilities If you are wanting a pre made shell or to 3d print from scratch You could probably get a spirit full size pack and then mod it a bunch (Cheapest non 3d print route ) Or you could buy a pre made 3d printed shell (It might be more accurate and neat to make but wouldn't require you specifically owning a 3d printer ) 3d printing it yourself would be cheapest and you would have the most customizability The Q-pack project has had multiple revisions and is the most accurate 3d printable pack that I know of You would just have to figure out how to build it or buy their instruction manual (The files themselves are free And then lastly is lighting I personally love being able to customize and program everything But it would probably be cheaper to a get a gb fans light kit or a ninja tunes kit They are more simple and straightforward Or the one I used was gp star

Hopefully that helps a bit In the future I might possibly be open to writing more custom alternative software for the gp star board if anyone has specific needs for their project Its definitely a very neat resiliant board to work with

Very glad you like it!

I could definitely make a video on the subject if you are interested I am assuming you have a upgraded pcb? The original board wont support smoke If you go to the gpstar github they have info on what components to use for adding smoke as well as a replacement stl file for the n filter I will see if I can make a video though as I think it would be beneficial for lots of people

@@kadensreviews I don’t I just have a number of rechargeable vapes, batteries and buttons and I was planning to run it independently. I’m not electronically inclined enough to program and hard wire things into a large prop I don’t want to destroy. I’ve done a lot of modifications to my pack but only cosmetic. Weathering, greeblee adding, custom part 3d modeling, and printing. But I don’t have a lot of experience with electronic fans so I don’t know what it takes to get the right look

@jbischof71 ah I see My method might not be super ideal for your application I can still make a video and you can take bits and pieces of info to do what you need It would require drilling holes in the bottom of the slot where the n filter is and then mine is running two different vapes from a 10amp 5v reducer The video should help have things make some more sense It might be extremely difficult to do though if you aren't planning on soldering or modifying stuff

@@kadensreviews yea I plan on keeping the electronics stock and running any additions off of a secondary power source and switch, but I’m interested in how to wire all the additional components to achieve the effect and how to mount them in the pack to have them tucked away but also accessible to refill. I also fully intend on drilling n filter holes.

@jbischof71 well it might be a bit tricky On mine and other projects I have seen with smoke we removed the giant d cell battery holder and the vapes are located directly behind so we can refill them by taking off the battery hatch Im not really sure where would work to put them while keeping the original electronics

Nice! Potentially in the future I will make a full 3d printed pack

Unfortunately I don't know the brand I can try and see, but they were pieces I already had laying around
