Getting several error messages. Does something need to be changed in the script other than: set controller = create object ("B2S.Server") ?

Line 1 Null

vbs script - can't start game cyclone l5

script error - line 569 type mismatch ferris

 

*The b2s backglass that came with it worked, but I had issues exiting out of Hyperspin.

Rename the table name without b2s in the end to be sure rosve b2s is not launched also

[DJ Wheels]

yes, i renamed the table and I deleted the old backglass files as well to avoid confusion. I still get the errors.

[arngrim]

It works fine for me, do you have the b2s.server 1.301 or something

[Lobotomy]

Had the same error with the "Rosve" version, so i used Melons original Cyclone_2.0_VP91xFS, changed the script and it works.

But i feel the backglass is too black without any lights on, and the Mystery Wheel did "spin", but i got wrong values in the wheel twice compared to the value on the dmd.

Will try again a few times.

[arngrim]

i use rosve version, and it is fine for me.

 

do you have that in your B2STableSettings.xml

 

<B2STableSettings>

....

<ShowStartupError>0</ShowStartupError>

...

</B2STableSettings>

 

?

[Lobotomy]

I had it set to 1

Changed it to 0, and retried. Still same "missmatch Ferris" error...

[ClarkKent]

Please add 3rd monitor support as the LEDs VPinMAME provides does not look as good as the one from dB2S...

 

And if I may add this one: The non-illuminated background should be not THAT dark. The stars could not be seen at all. On a real Cyclone the background is not darker than the other parts that could be illuminated. I have this machine, trust me...

[DJ Wheels]

As suggested, I changed "launch backglass" to "false" and that did the trick.

[Lobotomy]

Does anyone get the right value in the mystery wheel?

[ClarkKent]

Actually with the current latest version of Cyclone it's almost impossible to hit the spook house. Flipper settings are bad, really bad. Doesn't play like the real thing at all. If someone updates this table (maybe even with the new ferris wheel transporting the ball) I'll adjust the setting the closest possible...

[Teamtechnic]

The backglass has been tested several times and the wheel never gave incorrect values ​​on the display of scores.
The backglass was built on FS B2S version of Melon.
Before i placed the backglass do a myriad of tests
and will be posted only if they work.
For the dark background is a matter of personal preference, and I respect it. some like it,
others do not.
I always try to do the best possible.

Hello Ck
I read the post for the problem you have with the third monitor
I think it was an oversight on my part in the compilation of the setting in the designer before starting the work.
In the table type, instead of putting solid state electronic, I put solid state electronic with dmd, but Cyclone is not a dmd table.
In the B2S DMD location setting instead of putting B2S DMD on backglass or DMD, I put B2S DMD only on DMD ('third monitor')I was distracted.
Try to change this parameter.
let me know.
eventually we'll update it with animation snippit of the DMD panel and the parameters mentioned above put in the correct way.
Best Regards TT.

[Lobotomy]

TT, that's why i asked if anyone got the right value, to rule out if the backglass has an error, or if the error is only at my end.

wheel doesnt spin for me it spins maybe half a revolution than just stops. i'm using the original non b2s version of the table do you need the other one?

I see it the same way, it only does a quick rotation that isn't smooth.  Also displays the wrong part of wheel in correspondence to what comes up on the score board, like it pointed to 40k but it was zilch, got 20k but it came up special etc.   Does it work right for some people? Is there a fix for this?  Currently using the physmod version.

Unfortunately I also do not get a smooth mystery wheel animation and wrong values. But as far as I know it has something to do with the dB2S server. Only Herweh can fix this...

 

But if someone needs this - I remastered the Cyclone backglass to highres.

Just came in to ask about this myself.  Interestingly, if I run the non-physmod version or the table the wheel animation is smooth as silk and the wheel matches what the game shows.  It's only on the physmod version of the table that I have an issue, which is a a shame because it really is a huge improvement.
