reinstall B2S server with latest from github

 

 

No joy.

 

 

As a test, I exported the backglass and reimported into a new B2S project, using minimal lighting.

 

B2S still crashes without a hint of a log file.

 

 

I feel like such an idiot!  I forgot to include the screenres.txt file in the table folder.  That's why I couldn't get the B2S to load.  DOH!

I am surprised that it did not give you the nag screen telling you that no screenres.txt existed


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Spend it on Hookers and Blow

I was as well.  I then started noticing some B2S's on VP9 tables weren't loading.  Again - no screenres.txt and no nag screen.  Running the latest B2S Server (v2.0.3) as well.

One urgent hint about vp9 Backglasses in old .exe Format:
They can only read the PLAIN screenres.txt without comment lines!

Thanks for the tip, but so far I am only using directb2s extensions.

Hi there, newbie here

 

I don't understand how to start a game with this table, no idea how to launch the ball on the table. I tried every button but no luck.

 

Some Help?

It works just like any other table: you need to press 5 to add coins, 1 to start a game and Return to launch the ball. This means just like any other table.

 Thank you JP i was using a controller and even if I tried to press any button on the keyboard I forgot to press enter. I'm a bit of a fool. :facepalm:  Now I can play your awesome table! Thanks!

 and the players being able to steal the other players bonus :)
 

 

That's not correct: The real machine resets the bonus after each drain.

I thought I saw that in a video. I guess I may have misunderstood. I'll see if I can find the video and I'll check it again. Thanks for telling me about the posible bug :)

UPDATE

 

6.0.1 Updated 29.01.2026
- The bonus now reset at the end of each ball. In case you prefer to play without the bonus reset then you may change that in the user options menu (F12)
- Fixed the Match, now al 4 players are checked at the end of the game. I used Fusionwerks code :)
 
I couldn't find the video, and the videos I saw the bonus was reset after a new bakk or player. So this is now the default, but if you should like to keep playing like before, then I have added an option in the F12 menu were you can select to reset the bonus or not after each ball/player.
