Is there any way to add WebP format to be an acceptable format for pics used in this B2S Designer?
Backglasses with alot of animations create a huge B2S file.
It has the potential to cut file size by 67% just by converting png pics to WebP format.
 
It was added to VPX7.2, so was just wondering if it would be hard to also add it to this B2S Backglass Designer?
 
Thanks for all the work being done on this!
It is appreciated!


Sounds like a good idea, just add it as an issue on github.

I just downloaded 1.27. When I try to open a .directb2s file I get nothing.  Does it have to be a .bs2 file?

If you are trying to open an existing .directb2s file you need to click "File" tab at top left, and click "Import directb2s backglass file". (As seen in pic)

Noob question: Can you add reels to a backglass that doesn't have them?  Like, if the real table didn't support it, can you still add it?  I'd like to free up the DMD screen for static images.

I'm having an issue when trying to change the DMD image from a DirectB2s import.  I'm running B2s Designer 1.27 and using a recent example Directb2s 

Flying Carpet (Gottlieb 1972) b2s with full dmd.    If I open B2sDesigner and import directb2s - Flying Cartpet, then import dmd image and pick a png that I want to show up in the DMD area, then delete the old image and everything seems fine.  I then export the Directb2s and crash.  Any ideas on how to get by this.

 

 

I have checked the resolution and tried both png and jpeg without success.

I'm not familiar with this program yet, but I would check that the image size / resolution are correct.

If it were possible to increase the space between one reel and another,

100 is not a sufficient value, the numbers of the reel are too large when a greater distance is needed.

 

Thanks.

I have problems with the new set of credit images just imported, I get a white image as if there were no digits,

instead, the images I imported for scoring work,

and i wanted to know if there is a limit on how many pictures i can import for credits.

Since I do not get any updates when someone writes here, I am a little late with replies... this was finally reported as an issue on github in november and hauntfreaks has reported it as well lately.

It should now be solved with the fresh version 2.0.0 of B2S.Designer
