You should install the new VP 10.2 all-in-one installer.  It includes all of the pre-requisities, including the updated B2S, that are needed to run this correctly. 

[Drybonz]

Just make sure you back up your Pinball folder first because the installer does over-write some things.

Jimmi Henry, there is an update to the B2S server that will fix that.

Thank you, but i cant find any update im running B2S Backglass Server 1.3.0.2.The error accours only on a fiew tables. (The nice ones)

[Drybonz]

It could previously only be found on another site, but, as DJRobX pointed out, above, it is now included in the most recent VPX installer and standalone packages.

 

*edit*  So you should update.

O.K. Full install just got the file (35MB), since i had all things updated... well you never know! Thank you!

 

I did manage to update all my files with the content of the new VP 10.2 all-in-one installer, there are some

additional files, even in the main/ root folder. Now i have the DMD time 2 . Better 2 then none. One DMD

is on my display 1 (desktopmode), can't change it's position. Other on my second display 2 along with the

backglass.

 

The error is no more!

Thanks for this very nice table !

 

1 - Does someone know how to hide the window below the DMD ?

 

2 - I did a backdrop for the VP9 version but the spider was on the backdrop whereas with VPX it's on the table, so I'd like to know if there's a way to make it to appear over the backdrop

 

Here is a snapshot

 

[Drybonz]

Change the line in the script that says showDMDonly to 1.  If it's commented out un-comment it.

Thanks for your very fast reply, Drybonz

 

An idea for having the spider over the backdrop, anyone ?

The spider shouldn't appear on the table unless you're in fullscreen mode and using the singlescreenFS option at the top the script

[batch]

If you look at the snapshot above, you can see the spider and the images around, but they are covered by the cobweb

 

and what I want to know is if it's possible to see them over this cobweb

[nFozzy]

Oh, yeah

 

Select those flashers and lower the modulate setting. At 0 they'll be completely opaque like vp9 flasher, at 1 the flasher will only modulate whatever is behind it. Reduce opacity along with the modulate.

[batch]

It worked for the spider, but not for the flashers around

 

I think that's because they "flicker"

 

Anyway, thanks for your help

[nFozzy]

It should work unless you are using the FS spider over the table, then you'll have to edit this line

 

    For each xx in WheelAwards
        xx.ModulateVsAdd = 1

[batch]

It works, nFozzy, but the images are distorded because they are too far from the middle of the table

 

I'm gonna try another idea I've had and I'll tell you if it works

Has anyone gotten the spider spinning in the backglass when running in cabinet mode?  There was a great addition here for the VP9 edition of this table that had it setup and it was outstanding - really made the cabinet seem like a real cabinet.

 

My understanding of backglass structure is weak but that was an .exe file that was launched from the table script.

 

I don't think the VPX version has this capability, unless I'm totally missing something.  Is there a way to get this .exe backglass working with the VPX table?

[Pike13]

Sorry, I should have clarified a bit more - I did find the directb2s file that works with this table, and it works great.  I guess what I'm asking is if there is a no-grill version of the directb2s like that one I referenced.  Sheesh, it's late, I should go to bed before asking posting without thinking.
