What's New in Version 2.1.3 (See full changelog)
- Finally a merge of the source code for B2SBackglassServer & B2SBackglassServerEXE into one. Should not be noticed while running, but huge for development.
- Added new method B2SSetPos(ImageId, xpos, ypos) to move the images on the backglass. by @stevejones72
- Added new method B2SBuildVersion() returning float version number: 20103.0327
- Only crop "standard" images which does not rotate, while fixing "Events of overlapping pictures get merged too many images was cropped.
- B2S 2.1.2 Throws System NullReferenceException, a crash on certain tables fixed.
- B2S Table Settings Saving But WIll Not Apply, the backglass hide flag was forgotten to be read.
- Improve Fuzzy Matching to not use the DOS short names: "Fuzzy Matching" now cuts the table name after the first ")" and then tries to find a backglass named something like that.
- Add PinMame TimeFence property by @vbousquet
HELP please. (I run a 2scr Desktop)
So I updated and everything is working except, my backglass and table are now displayed on the same monitor. I do not know how to fix this.
thanks for any help.
restore your screenres.txt file - that is where you define the resolution and the location of the backglass.
here is my copy
# Playfield Screen resolution width/height 1920 1080 # Backglass Screen resolution width/height 1920 1080 # Display index for the Playfield 1 # x position for the backglass relative to the upper left corner of the Playfield screen 1920 # y position for the backglass on the selected display (Normally left at 0) 0 # width/height of the DMD area in pixels - For 3 screen setup 0 0 # X/Y position of the DMD area relative to the upper left corner of the backglass screen - For 3 screen setup 0 0 # Y-flip, flips the LED display upside down 0 # X/Y position pos when StartBackground is active, relative to upper left corner of Playfield ("Small" Button in the Options) 0 0 # width/height of the backglass when StartBackground is active 0 0 # C:\path\Frame (The path to the location where you have the background image) D:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Tables

Thanks its all working correctly now.. Appreciate the help.

just for your information, the last line "D:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Tables" is not meant for your tables, rather it is for pointing to a background picture, could be a grill or just a nice looking background for when the "small" button is active in the settings.

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!
Hi . I have a question what programs do you use to make the backglass always on top - the desktop version
hello, thank you. have a small feature request, maybe in a next update, something very simple: possibility to have the backglass form draggable. im facing a backglass position issue and to have it draggable would solve the problem thank you

There is a built-in feature to do just this. Right click the BackGlass and activate Send BG to Front

Hi, if you want to make a request, the B2S Server is now on Github. See here: https://github.com/v...l/b2s-backglass under "Issues"
A new 1.4.0 pre release available here vpinball / b2s-backglass github action or as release tag https://github.com/v...ckglass-1e2013a
Testers are wanted and needed
- Add additional setting FormToBack complementing FormToFront. Now three states available:
1. "Standard" setting (both FormToBack and FormToFront turned off) is now as it was in 1.3.0.6. -> formDMD isn't controlled by the FormToFront/Back setting
2. FormToFront sets the flag Form.TopMost = True -> cannot get any other window on top
3. FormToBack, forces the forms to the back and ignores any try to get them come forward -> Windows stay in back. The B2S Server is not available in the taskbar anymore.
- Merge some more settings from the dll version.
- Make sure LED "D" (Digit) updates from VPinMame is forwarded to all plugins. thanks to rdowens11vx!
- Make the B2SBackglassServerEXE Large Address Aware by changing the build flags for x86 builds (x86 to AnyCPU). No need to patch 4GB anymore!
