Download B2S Backglass Server 2.1.4 mashup

Hi. Thanks for your work. I'm using a utility called FancyZones that is part of the application called PowerToys by Microsoft. FancyZones allows you to create zones in a specific monitor where you can drag & drop windows that will adapt in size to the zone. It is very useful to automatically redimension and configure the DMD or the PinUp windows. Essentially, you have to drag the windows while pressing a combination of keys to see the fancy zone where you have to drop the app window. Since your last update 2.1.0, you can't see the fancy zone while pressing the key but it works fine with 2.0.3.

Thanks everyone for continuing to improve this project.

There is a new pre-release out for 2.1.1 including these things:
 
- Add B2STools/B2SRandom.cmd to randomize many Backglasses when activated in Pinup Popper or similar
- Backglasses using overlapping partly transparent pictures get it's events merged. This is now deactivated by default.
  Can be activated in the direct2BS file (there is NO GUI):   <MergeBulbs Value="1" />
- Add support for PWM modified tables, the light turn on values > 64, if it is a PWM activated table:
  There is a new setting for VPinMame.SolMask(2) to set the output mode:
    0 = default
    1 = modulated (PWM) solenoid (exist for some years already)
    2 = new PWM mode (all solenoids but also lamps, and value if physic meaning, not smoothed out binary state)
  For this new mode, we now hardcode a value 64, if the lamp intensity exceed this value, it is binary 1
- b2s_screenresidentifier: Add Comments hidded behind the taskbar #77
- "Fantasy" setting in B2STableSettings.xml is ignored #93

Testers are wanted and needed

Where would we be without this awesome part of virtual pinball.

Great stuff.

@jarr3 Hoping you can provide some guidance - I have complete reinstalled DOF and B2S Server, both 32 and 64 bit (I only use VPX 10.8 RC3 64 bit DX). I'm cannot get my DOF LED buttons to light on the TRON NEON table I just released... I think its a 'just me' since no one else mentioned this is a problem for them. When I test DOF directly or with other tables the buttons light up - no issues. Would you mind taking a look at the TRON NEON table and see if you see what may be the issue?

 

https://vpuniverse.c...3-tron-neon-30/

 

the table has...

 

cGameName = "TRON-NEON"

pupGameName = "TRON-NEON"

vpmalias entry = TRON-NEON,panther7

 

if I change cGameName to panther7 the buttons light up

Hi,

I guess it is because there is no TRON-NEON defined in the DOF config at http://configtool.vp...e.com/login.php.

@Ltek

late answer but I hope still helpful...

 

DOF depends always on the cgamename (at least the first part of it) and its coexistant entry in dof online config.

So here you need to use as cgamename "panther7_tron-neon" ; as vpmalias entry use "panther7_tron-neon,panther7"

 

OR take a look into dof online config, which cgamenames (a.k.a. "romnames") are allowed. 

You could use at this table "tronneon" as cgamename in tablescript, too. of course with vpmalias "tronneon,panther7"

Just updated to 2.1.2 and find that some 90's tables will either show the DMD and no Backglass or show the Backglass and no DMD when running under PinballX.  Is there anything that can "fix" this predicament?  Seems to work fine when running tables directly from VPX.
