been using ufo TW and SA for a while

this is the best player i have found, great for video or audio
can do handy and UFO at same time
name the script the exact same file name as your video/audio add “_ufo”, “_ufotw” or “_handy” to the end of your script name. Then just drag and drop the video.
both handy and UFO connect easily over bluetooth with one button press.

I have been looking into creating my own UFO TW scripts, but haven’t been able to find a program to do it. Do you know of any?

Want to let those interested know, one of my UFO TW motors has started dying after 7 months.

It won’t drive any input strengths higher than 20, which is really frustrating because I think slow moving scripts feel the best. When an input strength lower than 20 is received, the motor stalls, only beginning to move after move after I give it a little nudge.

I’d like to just replace the motor, but the silicone cup is bonded with the plastic housing, so there’s no real way to get at the internals.

I’ve contacted NLS to see if there’s a warranty, but I don’t know how good my chances are at getting a replacement. If I can’t get a replacement, I think I’m just going to buy a new one the next time the UFO TW goes on sale. It sucks that it’s only lasted 7 months for $445, but there’s just really nothing like it on the market.

I have read all the text. It is indeed an interesting toy, but it is too expensive and troublesome to buy. It would be great if MFP could control it. In addition, OpenFunScripter has a twist axis, but this axis is for OSR. The finger rotation in the video can be captured, but the movement is relatively small. It should be troublesome to make a script for U.F.O TW. In general, I think U.F.O TW is an auxiliary toy that can be used with handy or OSR.

Pretty much agree with what you’ve said, though, personally, if I had to pick between a UFO TW and a Handy, I’d pick the UFO.

The reason why I like the UFO over the Handy probably boils down to the fact that I like to edge, and the UFO is a way better tool for that than the Handy. The UFO can’t really take you over the edge by itself but really enhances the pleasure before and after, while the Handy can.

Also, I’ve found that it takes a lot more time to clean up after using the Handy than the UFO. When I use the UFO, I end up just using my hand with no lubricant, which makes for a faster clean up.

I haven’t worked on my scripting tool in a while because life, but yeah you’re completely right. I’ve found even using slow and sophisticated optical flow, there is a lot of inaccurate noise on the output script. But I’d like to posit that scripts don’t need to be completely accurate. From personal use, I’ve found that random motion is believable enough as long as it’s timed to stop and start when the AV stops and starts. There are subcases where this isn’t true, like when the AV makes delicate and deliberate motions, but generally, it’s harder to distinguish visual information from sensory information around the nipple than it is on stroking scripts.

I do wish the UFO’s price was lower though. To follow up on my previous post, I got in contact with Vorze, and they said that they could repair it as long as I have a Japanese address they can send it back to. But the customer bears the burden of shipping costs, and they quoted me an approximate repair cost of $130 (per cup), so I’d have to pay about 170-200. So I decided to just buy a new one off of buyee.jp for $330 (including shipping)

UFOTW (UFOSA) script files are mainly distributed in Japan in the form of CSV files, which are compatible with SyncPlayerBLE, etc., but not with MFPs.

One user has created a tool to convert CSV files to MFP-compatible funscripts, which enables UFO control using MFPs. (The explanation is in Korean, but the translation at DeepL is sufficient to read it.)
Tool description: https://arca.live/b/script/97096883
Tool download: 17.65 MB folder on MEGA

It is recommended to use Interface Central (Intiface® Central | Intiface®) to connect MFPs with UFOTW. Here is a brief explanation of how to connect.

Fig.1

Step0: Download MFP and Interface Central, and open MFP’s Setting (Click * in Fig.1). Then open the setting like Fig.2.


Fig.2

step1: Press (*1) to copy the settings for the device in TCode-0.2, save it under an appropriate name, and then select the device settings.

step2: Add and configure the output for UFO operation as shown in (*2), and reboot the MFP.

step3: Add the settings for Buttplug.io. Following step shown (3)-(3-2)in Fig.1.

step4:Start InterfaceCentral, start the server and connect the UFO.

step5:Connect MFP and Interface Central. If successful, the display will change to “Connect”.

step6:Add the UFO to the device in the settings for Buttplug.io. (You should not be able to connect the UFO. (Open the DeviceMap in the settings for Buttplug.io and you should see the following image (Fig.3) (the image after adding the settings for UFO is shown for reference).


Fig.3

step7: Enter settings in (*3) as in (*3-1) and press “+” to add.
In the case of UFO TW, two settings, Indices0 and 1, are added because they are recognized separately for left and right (in the case of UFOSA, it is thought that there will be only one setting).

If UFO does not appear in Connected Device in step 6,7 the connection between Interface Central and UFO is not working properly, so start over from there.

In this case, “hoge.ufo.funscript” in the same location as “hoge.mp4” is loaded for UFO.

In this setup, UFO TW has the same movement for left and right, but if you add another movement axis for UFO in step2 and step7, and refer to different funscripts for left and right when setting UFO device in step3 , it will be possible to link left and right separately.

A0 axis is the left control axis and A1 axis is the right control axis for UFOTW, and the left and right movements can be made by recognizing different names in the “funscript names” such as L-ufo, R-ufo, and so on.

The above explanation was written in my previous document in Japanese and translated into English, so I apologize if it is difficult to understand.

I hope it will be helpful.

CSV files for UFOTW often describe left and right movements together in a CSV file, but they can usually be easily split up.

This is an example of a CSV file for UFOTW opened in Excel
-01 084743

Column A is time,
Column B is rotation direction
Column C is intensity (0 is stop, 100 is fastest)
Column D is rotation direction 2, column E is intensity 2

Columns BC and DE record different left and right movements, so
By creating a CSV file of A+B+C and a CSV file of A+D+E and saving them separately, you can create separate files for left and right.
(The correspondence between columns BC and DE and left and right may vary depending on the UWOTW connection, so please check by yourself.

As for the price, it is ideal to be within 150 dollars. In addition, it is best to use funscript to control U.F.O. and add a separate axis to the Tcode standard for control. MFP and XTPlayer can support it. In this way, it will be a perfect experience with OSR.

I don’t know why, but I can’t get the program to play videos at all via drag & drop.

Figured out why dankelheit was not working for me, windows media player needs to be activated through “add windows feature”, it can be found in the media features category.

Also in worse news it seems like fantia.jp has started to block access for the EU without any prior warning, kind of a dick move after promoting the sale of TORA coins after visa/mastercard payment got pulled.

So finding and buying scripts got a whole lot more complicated for me.
