Can you please make a two screen version with dmd scoring?

[Aaron James]

Awesome!!!!!

Can you please make a two screen version with dmd scoring?

 

Do you don't see the score in the DMD screen? I can make a test version with another display...

[SPARKY70]

HI PJ, the score displays do not work in either 2 screen mode or 3 screen mode.

you have to remove the led's from the backglass sreen, and add them to the DMD screen.

 

the way it works, in 2 screen mode (grill visible) is that the DMD that you create "hovers" over the area of the backglass, blocking out what is seen on main backglass. image, that is why that area is covered when you right click on the backglass.

 

as for the 3 screen display test, you need to re-select the dmd area of the backglass to exclude the speaker images. only the the dmd area, not the entire grill should be selected with the yellow outline.

then you will need to re-adjust the lights for the red and blue bonus's.

 

helpful hint, leave a little of the black image surrounding the area, especially the bottom. you need it on the bottom as a buffer, or else the software wont let you pick the very bottom and the program will crash.

It seems to stop working after the initialization for me. Then this game gives problems losing the music. I don't know if that has to do with the dB2s though. Coming from a 3 screen setup, you can just resize your original dmd to fit in the yellow box, but the speakers being in there are quite distracting. Seems like it will be nice when it works the way it's supposed to. Maybe it's just my setup, but I'm back to static for now.

Fantastic job, the 3 monitor version works like a champ with the DMD and animated jackpot values on the DMD screen!  Thanks for your great effort!  One small suggestion:  the lit Jackpot Values are a little hard to distinguish from the unlit, perhaps (if possible) lowering the illumination on the unlit values.

Done! Version 1.2 is out

[Aaron James]

Now this is how you make a table!!! 3-screen db2s is awesome, and the fantasy version of this is really cool...a lot more going on than the authentic version. Great job

This latest version is the best.

Need more flashes???

The problem is often manuals don't report bulb position in the backglass, only in playfield, so I watch pictures in IPDB and video in youtube for a idea.

In fantasy mode I can add all the flashes I want, in every side!

Did you see Junk Yard and Party Zone?

[Aaron James]

Not yet, I'll be adding more to the cab later today.

[Sir Cheddar]

Thanks for that nice dmd area. Looks great on 3 screen setup

 

I don't get any flasher activity in authentic mode, but it looks to me like I should get some. I think (but I'm not 100% positive yet) that this happens with every dual mode d2bs on my cab.

Before I continue bug hunting, can you confirm that there is some flasher activity in authentic mode? Or should it be static?

[DennisC]

Wow, great improvement!  Thank you for the follow up (this is one of the best backglasses in my 410+ table collection)!  Attached are screen shots of the before and after of the third screen while in attract mode!  Thank you again for your great work, it is really exciting (and greatly appreciated) to get animated graphics on the third screen, it makes a huge difference in aesthetic appeal!

In authentic mode I put only lights, no flashes (I don't own documentation about that).

If you want flashes, set the fantasy mode.

Good thing I asked

I'll use fantasy then. Thanks again for making those backglasses!

My pleasure :-)
