I am having so much fun updating all these great Backglasses. Thank you so much.

 

I noticed final versions of Elivs, Playboy, and Gorgar haven't been released. Are you planning on uploading them soon?

 

Thanks again!!!!!

These new backglasses are amazing my Thanks to all involved with making these. I am having an issue exiting the directb2s tables with DMD and have to set ddraw to 0 in the registry. I saw this mentioned somewhere at the beta stage of the server and that it might be fixed in the next release. I am now using version 1.0 of the server and the issue is still there. Is anyone else having to do this still or have i missed something mentioned that need to do to solve it.

Thanks again for all these great backglasses

 

Cheers

Like someone else posted if you dont move the DMD around it wont crash on exit. Also I noticed if I hide the b2s_dmd and use the regular one it seems to work perfect even exits faster like it should not really sure I have only been messing with this for about an hr but I have about 10 on the cab working so far..

 

I did notice that in some of them the numbers or part of the number in the score disappears like in Close Encounters of the third kind seems like some numbers vanish..

Dont know what you mean by dont move the DMD around i never move the DMD and it still crashes on exit. I do use the DMD mover tool to set the position of the DMDs though. Also Had no luck with the hide the b2s dmd while the functions work great it still crashed on exit. Might have to try a clean install it must be something i have screwed up.

I just wondering, if having the Backglass run as an .exe makes performance better, why not just make that the default? Is there any reason or disadvantage not to run them as an .exe?

I stumbled accross something else. I notice with some (not all) Backglasses where I hide the grill like Sorcerer for instance. There is a small graphic box in the upper left hand side. Does this have something to do with my screen res config? I didnt have an issue with B2S tables prior to this new server.

I will check this. This image should just be visible on a third screen. Do you have a third screen (your screenres.txt doesn't look like)?

Updated all tables with the new backglasses and i must say: this is a nice piece of software ! Easy to setup,

easy to configure and it plays perfectly on my cab, beats the crap out of UVP for sure !

 

Thanx all for your effort !   :otvclap:

I have seen this graphic in the top left corner of the backglass too.  (and yes, I only have a two screen cabinet with a pinDMD attached)

Thanks guys, found it and fixed it. I could upload a v1.01 of the server but wonder whether it is too early and more confusing than helpful for some users. What do you think?

Will the changes you gave me in 1.0c be added to the new 1.01?

Also if it helps anyone the ones that I couldent get to load that crashed and kept crashing the B2S.EXE I found the (B2Stablesettings.xml) file in the tables folder opened it with notepad and deleted the settings saved for the table and then it would let me load it so I could adjust settings..
