For this table, I am using my new method for enabling/disabling the dB2S backglass. By default the backglass is disabled. The easy way to enable it is this method:
1.Launch table and then exit. It will auto-create a file in the USER folder of VPinball named "LMEMTables.txt"
2.Open this file in notepad and change the "0" to a "1" and save.
3.Next time you launch, the backglass will launch.
Or for the die hards out there, create a text file in the USER folder named LMEMTables.txt and put a "1" (no quotes) on the first line and save it.
 
Operator menu options are as follows:
"[" - open/close the operator menu
"6" - changes balls per game (3/5)
"7" - change replay settings - but for now I only have 1 set of replay settings so you can't change these.
On the full screen version, pay attention to the apron to tell whether it is set for 3 or 5 ball play.

What am I doing wrong, I get error line 324 can't create object B2S?

 

I have LMEMTables.txt and changed the 0 to a 1 so what am I missing?

Just delete that line. It belongs to the cabinet version.

[bha19]

That is not the full answer since there are more lines that refer to B2S and I can't just delete all lines that refer to B2S can I?

[hmueck]

Well, yes, it IS the full answer. Don't overthink it.

The other lines refering to B2S have been properly put into "only if b2s is used, then do this" parts of the script.
And yes, you could also delete everything to do with b2s, because the desktop version doesn't use it at all.

I have also a problem, in line 1097 "object required: controller". Any idea?

[musicmaniac1]

Why don't you fix your table ?

[GNance]

Try this:

 

    o) Set the value in LMEMTables.txt to 0 to disable the B2S backglass

    o) Move line 1097 up two lines so it's inside the "if" statement

    o) Move line 1183 up to line 1161 so it's inside the "if" statement

 

That should get you going with the desktop version (without B2S) until Loserman76 has a chance to fix this.

[bha19]

GNance that did the trick, thanks so much for the tip.

[loserman76]

1.0a uploaded with code fixed. Thanks GNance.

Thanks GNance!
