I haven't messed with FP for a long time, but this looks cool.

 

Quick question! How do I move the DMD to the backglass DMD section? I tried to drag it, but I can only get it to move to the bottom of playfield screen.

add /arcaderender to command line (create shortcut pointing to your fp.exe and go into settings.  under video option check fullscreen  or arcade render (can't remember), check use send screen as backglass.  choose correct res for each monitor,  it should then show the dmd on the correct monitor.  FP is getting great.   Awesome table, lots of fun (maybe too easy)

You need to create a new DMD on the Translite section of the editor:

 

1. Go the Translite section in the editor.

2. Click on the HUD DMD and rename it to MyDMD3.

3. Create a new DMD (Displays, DMD) and name it MyDMD2.

4. Drag the HUD DMD (MyDMD3) out of the viewable area or delete it completely.

Rename the DMD on the playfield (which shows at the top left corner of the translite) to anything you want, and drag it to the side of the table so it's not visible.

 

There is already a DMD defined on the backglass - rename that to MyDMD2 and you are set.

Thanks that worked!

Finally loaded this up in my pincab today. What a GREAT game! Thanks and keep 'em coming!

Need help:

 

wanted to play Reel It In on with Win10 today. The table jerks terribly (only this table with Win10).

Does anyone have the same problem and eliminates the jerking?

 

What can I do to play the table smoothly?

[TerryRed]

Disable Windows Defender.

Thanks for your help. It works.

Some tables didn't have code added for the Backglass DMD. In that case, you may need to add a DMD on the translite editor (if one doesn't exist), and give it the name of the current DMD (so the code will display on that DMD instead).

 

Most FP authors (and some VPX authors) are desktop only guys, and don't play on a cabinet.
