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 dont have any way to receive it anyways

If you really want to get rid of money you can donate to this

Sometimes a big problem only needs a simple solution :D


These are my tables, sorted by date, all them playable with VPX 7 or newer:

After 18 years making tables, it is time to take a rest and let new authors do their thing.

I guess at last I'll play some more pinball :). But I'm sure I'll make some table updates from time to time :)

Every simple solution needs a big problem.

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!
