This must be perfect :

Similar to UVP you have to change one line in the script code. Change the CreateObject line in the table script to "Set Controller=CreateObject("B2S.Server")".

Did that still getting cannot create activeX component

[Aaron James]

Oh ok.
I was getting that message because I didn't have a period, I had a space.

[ICPjuggla]

Can you show me how you have it set up in the script?

Sure, hope this helps. I "subbed" out the previous line too by using the '

'Set Controller=CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")
Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

Works perfectly and the light show is really something to see.
Haven't noticed any performance hit at all.</sub>

@ICPjuggla: Is the server running at your system or are you still having problems? Which operating system is running at your system? Have you registered the server with the 'B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe' app? And when you're running Win7 have you started the 'B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe' as administrator?

Launch the executable a first time to register the components - then try the table.

I just tried it on my 2 monitor cab with winXP, the setup was really straightforward. Launching from hyperpin was not a problem, and It looks great!, as far as i'm concerned, its ready for primetime

[Slydog43]

wow this is really GREAT. Looks so "Active" as it flashes a lot and during multiball its just awesome. I really want to try out the designer and think this is truely a great addition to the community. Thanks

So Herweh is the thinking that it would be possible to distribute the 'master files' for a B2S that could be 'compiled' using your editor? Be really nice to keep the open nature of the community with these files, since you can't currently edit the .exe files. I know if I made a backglass that I'd be happy to share my master graphics for anyone who wanted to edit them.

[ArcadiusMaximus]

Can't get any easier than this. The backglass runs smooth as butter even during multiball. Never noticed any lag or slow down even during heavy scenes. Also I didn't have to edit my Hyperpin .xml which is always a plus. A++ work my friend ! Can't wait to start using the editor.

One question, where did you get the backglass art for this table? The one I have is crappy. Id like to use this one while I'm browsing through Hyperpin. Also, what resolution is the backglass? The very bottom of the art is cut off so, for instance, the game over light is cut a bit. Probably on my end. Thanks !

My specs:
Windows 7 64bit
8GB of Ram
Intel i5 2500K
Geforce 460 (bg + play field)

No it's still not working, I followed your instruction! I'm running windows7 on my laptop haven't tried it on my cab yet running XP.

No it's still not working, I followed your instruction! I'm running windows7 on my laptop haven't tried it on my cab yet running XP.

There are 4 points to notice:
a) you must copy the DLL into your tables folder (folder with all VP files). Directly inside that folder, not in a subfolder or beside the folder, inside. Don't rename the DLL
b) you must copy the B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe also in the tables folder. At the same path as the DLL's, else it cannot find that and will 'register' a wrong path
c) you must execute the B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe from the tables folder, not another copy on your desktop or elsewhere.
d) And you need to run it by doing a right click "Run as Admin".

If you are unsure, do this steps again. Testing the Server I've once copied the RegisterApp into my tables folder, but launched it from Desktop, then wondering why it fails, but worked on my other computer. So C) could be a trap...

[ICPjuggla]

Well I've followed all the instructions and keep getting

Oops,the 'B2S backglass server' is NOT registered. Have you started this app as 'Administrator'?
(Cannot create ActiveX component.)

I even re-downloaded everything and started over.. Still nothing...

Some more questions: Are standard B2S tables running on your laptop? Have you installed the .NET Framework 4 on your laptop?

This is always a good place to start if you're looking for nice backglasses: http://www.hyperspin...ass-Compilation
