I have made a B2S mod of Melons TAF VP91X FS 2.0.1

Melon seems to have disappeared from these forums and I can't get he's permission to upload the B2S table.
So I thought I would write a DIY instruction how you can edit the table and script to work with my backglass.

This file should include everything you need,
 TAF_FS_B2S_DIY.rar   3.62MB   257 downloads

Here is a cleaner version of the code part that goes to the end of the script. The code in the download file was missing a few line breaks.

CODE

This is awesome.
Thank you so much.

[htamas]

You are my hero.
This should get rid of the micro-stutter caused by UVP on my system.

Thank you

I have made a B2S mod of Melons TAF VP91X FS 2.0.1

Melon seems to have disappeared from these forums and I can't get he's permission to upload the B2S table.
So I thought I would write a DIY instruction how you can edit the table and script to work with my backglass.

This file should include everything you need,
 TAF_FS_B2S_DIY.rar   3.62MB   257 downloads

Just place the "playfield" subfolder in your tables folder and its good to go?
Addams Family...what a fun table..


Peace,
Lynny

The pf images are not required to run the table but if you want to get more intense lights you can replace the old images with these in the Image Manager (under the Table meny in the VP editor)

Thx Rosve
I don't know if I did something wrong but the "T.H.I.N.G' pattern is showing upside the DMD, so u can't see the whole DMD ??

Yes, the THING lights are placed under the DMD on the real machine. If you choose to show the THING in the dmd area you must resize the vpinmame window to fit above the lights.

If you dont like this, the THING lights can be displayed on the backglass instead.

Look for these lines in my script, above the LaunchBackglass.

' Choose where to display the THING lights
SetB2SData 0,0 ' *THING* lights in the DMD panel
'SetB2SData 0,1 ' *THING* lights on the backglass

[xio]

I changed the lines you pointed, and I prefer this way, thx again mate

[htamas]

Just as expected... this completely fixed all micro-stutter I had on this table.

I love B2S.

Thanks again, rosve.

Use the Screenres editor to enter the correct size and position of your DMD area.

[gStAv]

wow! You're on fire Roger!
Thanks for this!

[Arcade4]

Just got to try all this out today.
Worked like a charm, right out of the gate. Thanks for the great instructions with all the script changes.

The only thing I did not do was the new playfield images. I have no idea how to put those in. If someone could post a detailed how to, that would be awesome.

I'm not in front of the program, but from memory, this is what you do:

Extract the four playfield images in the archive to a folder.

Open the table in VP, then go to the Table menu, then Image Manager. You will see a list of all the images that are part of the table.
Scroll down until you find the images called pf1, pf2, pf3 and pf4. Highlight pf1. On the right side, select 'Reimport from', confirm overwrite, then navigate to the extracted folder and select the pf1 image from your hard drive.
Do the same for the other three images.
Save the table and you're done.

Sounds easy enough.
I will try that later tonight.
Thanks.

Worked like a charm.
Thanks again for the great instructions.

This table looks and plays fantastic.
I got the pf images updated, removed the speaker grill and even moved the THING lights to the bottom of the backglass.
