A little new to B2S so please point me in the right direction.

 

I have installed and have working a few tables.  I have B2S up and running and on White Water I do see "lights blinking" on and off on the backglass.  But not on any of my other tables including Indiana Jones (pinball adventure), and Medieval Madness as examples. 

 

I am using VP 9.9 and B2S 1.3.01 as well as DOF and an LEDWiz.  Everything seems to work including the LEDWiz and contactors, etc.  but when I look at the backglass on these games it is not showing any animation.  I can right-click and bring up the options screen on top of the back glass.  All seems to look correct.

 

Lastly, I am in the process of building a cabinet and right now am attempting to get some portions of the overall system tested, thus I am running all of this on a single screen.  Not sure if that would stop the animation though.

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 Modify existing table script to change from using VPinMame server to the B2S Server:
    - Open table script 
    - If you see 'Choose Controller: 1-VPM, 2-UVP, 3-B2S' near the top of script, change it to option 3
    - Else, search for Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")             and change it to      Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

You might also want to make sure that the authors didn't just make a static backglass

That's what I was thinking .. many of the backglasses just have the lights on (or off) and not rom controlled by the game. If you can see the backglass then its working as written. There might be other backglasses for the same machine so do check around.

Thank you all for the quick response. I will double check the scripts for the b2s.server entries.

Do you happen to know of a table with a great example of a b2s backglass with animation? I would like to load it up to see it in action.

Thank you

If you try any of Dozer's B2S backglasses - He makes very animated versions (known as Fantasy Backglass) and says as much in his details.  You may have downloaded a very authentic version of your backglass ......  Some only contain a light on at the start of the game and then off when the game finishes.

 

You could try the Kiss table that allows for B2S (JPSalas' one) that causes the K, I, S, S to light up - Just like the real machine  !!!!
