What's New in Version 1.3.1.1 (See full changelog)
- Thanks to JockeJarre/jarr3 for these patches:
- - Its now possible to use a different filename than ScreenRes.txt via the registry-key "Software\B2S\B2SScreenResFileNameOverride"
- - Also skip lines starting with "#" when reading the ScreenRes.txt or TableName.res files in the dll version
- - The DMD form has to be in front of the grill when it is a part of the Backglass, for mixed 2 and 3 screen backglasses
- - The same changes from above in the two Servers are now amended to B2S_Screenresidentifier as well
- - B2S_Screenresidentifier can be started with the ScreenRes file filename as first command line parameter, this can also be used in Windows by "throwing"/dragNdropping a ScreenRes file on the B2S_Screenresidentifier.exe in the Explorer
- - The B2S Server uses the Backglass Screen value on the fifth line from top (excluding comments). There are 3 different ways possible to describe which screen the backglass sits on:
- 1. "2" means the screen with the device name = \\.\DISPLAY2. This is the default old way.
- 2. "@1920" means the screen sitting on the x position 1920 measured from Point(0,0) on the playfield, in this example the screen right next to the HD playfield screen.
- 3. "=2" means the screen sitting on index number 2 walking left to right.
I have that already 😊 it seems to be a table issue, dozer cv redux works fine but the other dozer version does not. I just have too look further to see what might cause this and look what exactly is different in the tables. Maybe a vp 10.2 table vs 10.4 table script difference.
Ohh, I have this issue.. Does anyone have details on how to configure:
Allow backglass display to be specified as the X coordinate instead of display ID#, to resolve issues on systems that don't keep a consistent display order.
My system seems to not recognize my display 2 yet my x resolution works regardless and my backglass sometimes goes to my DMD.
So instead of display 2 @ 0, I can change things to display 1 @ 1921 to get it on the correct screen temporarily.
How do I use the proportional aspect ratio feature? Can't find it anywhere
Thanks a lot for the update! Before, depending on how quickly/slowly my TVs were turned on, they were assigned a different "id". Now instead of indicating the backglass display id in the config file, I can put the left bound pixel (as an example "@1920" instead of "1"), which is always consistent.
Request: For us desktop users could you add an "Always On Top" option, right now we have to use external tools to make the backglass always on top. Thanks!
this isn't in the all in one installer right 10.5?
Here are details on the proportional aspect ratio... http://vpuniverse.co...e-aspect-ratio/
I would like to organize my tables and backglasses into folders. I am finding hard to maintain a ScreenRes.txt in the same folder as every table. Here is a change that will look for ScreenRes.TXT in the install folder if it isn't found next to the table. Would this be OK?
From:B2SScreen.vb
#Region "get backglass settings and show backglass" Private Sub ReadB2SSettingsFromFile() ... Try specialFileName = IO.Path.Combine(B2SData.TableFileName & ".res") loadSpecialOne = IO.File.Exists(specialFileName) specialDirFileName = IO.Path.Combine(B2SData.TableFileName, FileName) loadSpecialDirOne = IO.File.Exists(specialDirFileName) Catch End Try ''''Change starts here''''' 'If ScreenRes Not found near table then look in install path If Not IO.File.Exists(FileName) Then Dim exePath As String = Application.StartupPath() FileName = exePath + "/ScreenRes.txt" End If ''''Change ends here'''' If loadSpecialOne OrElse loadSpecialDirOne OrElse IO.File.Exists(FileName) Then ' open settings file FileOpen(1, If(loadSpecialOne, specialFileName, If(loadSpecialDirOne, specialDirFileName, FileName)), OpenMode.Input)
Thanks
