This does work -- AC-DC (Luci - Stern).vpx
The small-button Option -- See 4x3 Back Glass Feature

Is the b2s.vbs in the C:\Visual Pinball\scripts\ folder can have an incidence to the name problem?

that is not the solution though, it is ignoring the issue and stepping around it

one should not need to do that, it should load the .res file

Yet it does not, until you change the name

 

the question is why


Is the b2s.vbs in the vpinball folder can have an incidence to the name problem?

 

Not sure, but is worth a look at, can't hurt to look

A section Launch a backglass.exe is present in the C:\Visual Pinball\Scripts\b2s.vbs script

 

 

'----- Launch a backglass.exe -----------------------------------
Sub LaunchBackGlass(ByVal exename, ByVal flag)
 If flag=True Then
  exename=exename+".exe"
  objRegistry.Run(exename)
 End If
End Sub

Whether I use a Small button Option not, with the game named like this it uses the specified res file  ( or any name )
AC-DC (Luci - Stern).vpx
AC-DC (Luci - Stern).res
AC-DC (Luci - Stern).directb2s

with this same backglass (even though it does not match ac dc obviously) ?

 

strange that for me it wont load the res

and for the guy above, it wont load the res no matter what he does

But only for this specific backglass
