Thank you for the desktop Mod.

I can't seem to get the DMD to appear but I know it is working. How do I fix this?

[batch]

Do you use VPinball 991 ?

[bha19]

Yes and the display appears briefly but then the backglass covers it up.

[batch]

Try to press the key F3, it will restart VPinball

 

or try to press the "windows" key (between ctrl and alt keys)

 

and go in your task-bar, you should see the display window

 

Sometimes It happens to me too

Funny but when I restarted my computer all is working now., but thanks for the advice and a great recreation.

I'm not much of a modder, but it is pretty easy to replace the apron on the FS version with batch's improved apron even without much experience with the editor or with graphics programs. Just go into Table, Image Manager and export batch's apron. Save as filename 'apron'. There are a couple of choices. One with a yellow background and one with blue. Yellow has the instruction card on the right hand side of the apron. Blue has the instruction card on the left hand side. I believe that they are otherwise the same. You can choose one or the other. I used the blue.

 

I don't recall that there was an issue with exporting and importing again with the transparency layer but the FS version uses a separate image for the plunger guide while the entire apron is used in the DT version. I used GIMP to crop out the plunger guide from the newer apron image. Open up the image. Tools, Selection Tools, Rectangle Select, Place the cursor at the upper left hand side of the image and select as much as possible without including the plunger guide at the right side of the image. Image, Crop to Selection

 

Export image to 'apronnew.png' with default settings.

 

Now, open the FS version in the editor. Go to Table, Image Manager, Reimport From and replace the old apron with the new one. Play the table to check that it looks correct.

 

I kept the original plunger guide image (apron_side, I think).

 

Save the modified table. That's it.

 

Thanks for the updated apron image, batch.

 

I'm not releasing a mod, here. I'm just telling how users can do it themselves if they wish.
