With a little bit spare time on my hand I took this possibility to go for the possible maximum. I can only highly recommend to update to the 1.6 version. I see it as a 99.9% done release.

Best looking, best playability. (Few remaining tasks for a 100% 1.7 release. Another cleanup for the logo. One small insignificant pixel correction. More hours playtime with the latest VP and TOTAN table release.) :-)

 

Have fun! :)

Nice backglass love the fantasy version, but the Williams score box and the backglass load after the dmd loads, leaving the dmd behind the score box. I can alt+tab or f5 twice and the dmd will appear. Restarting the table it does the same thing. How do I get the dmd to load last and keep it above the Williams score box? Thanks for the wonderful backglass.

Here you can see the dB2S options and the corresponding pictures. Every selection stays once choosen for the next start up. Depending where your files are, you maybe need to run the program as administrator to be able to save your choice.

b2sdmd and grill (In case you like this version you need to ask a three screen user how to proceed.)

My idea was to give three screen users also the possibility to have animations in the formddmd/ b2sdmd.)

I hope I was able to answer your question.

 

Thank you very much for your positive feedback, I am very glad that you like the backglass! :-)

My intention was to try a small dance animation. I hope it is visible. Therefore the Tales of the Arabian Nights are at least a little bit performed. :band:

Thanks for the quick response. Yes I am running 3 screens, thought you were too, given how great this backglass looks on both the 2nd and 3rd screens. Really like the williams score box that is diplayed on the 3rd screen. The problem is the third screen, the dmd is displayed first then the "Williams score box" is then displayed covering up the dmd. Changing options does work but gets rid of the Williams score box, which looks great on the 3rd screen. Alt+tab or f5 twice is the only way the dmd will display correctly on the 3rd screen with the Williams score box. Thanks for trying to help. Keep up the awesome backglasses!

Are there any 3 screen users able to get it running on 3 screens correctly? (Without alt+tab or f5) If so how? Thanks.

I would like to help, but the only other two three screen dB2S backglasses where I used this feature are all without a dmd on the third screen.

I really hope someone with three screens can help. My idea in TOTAN and the understanding about the three screen mode was always like this should be possible.

 

I will check if i can set the third screen as default screen in the dB2S. The only thing I maybe can do.

I included a default dmd location. Please try the new version which is uploaded in a few minutes. Thanks.

I edited my last post, because the dmd will show on a certain setting. Have both of those backglasses and they work great. They display like they should on my 3rd screen. The backglass works fine with the options,hidden, hidden, visible, but loses the Williams logo and score box, which I was hoping to keep on my third screen. I usually run my settings as standard, standard, visible, and this allows the 3rd screen to display everything as it should. On this db2s however the score box always covers the dmd. Basically I am trying to find out if there a way to make the dmd always on top. Thanks Bassgeige look forward to more of your very original color backglasses. Totan is unbelievably awesome! And tales from the crypt is just super! Please keep up the awesome work. Going to go back and download all your backglasses and give them a try. Wish you had 3 screens. Thank you so much.

Just saw your post man you're fast will try and let you know. Thanks again.

Tried the default dmd. No luck. Does the same thing. On my setup it displays the table (screen 1) and dmd (screen 3) at the same time, then the backglass (screen 2) with Williams score box (screen 3) next, which covers the dmd. Is there a way to make the db2s recall the dmd back to the top? Apollo 13 backglass is very similar but seems to recall the dmd after all is displayed. Thanks for the help. Sorry to be a pain will just use f5 for now. Thanks.

I appreciate your feedback very much! I will have a look to Apollo 13. I am sure that there will be a solution. (It can also be that we encountered a new challenge which beforehand was not seen.) It will be interesting to see what other three screen users experience.

I have an idea. I cannot say if it will work but I am confident. I will try to upload a new version today incase the idea works.

No thank you for such interesting backglasses, please keep them coming, I really like them. The Apollo backglass I use was one icpjuggla gave me, as I could not find it searching the forum. Stat has an amazing backglass of Apollo 13 just not sure if it loads the same. If I can find the icps backglass I use I will point you to it. Thanks a lot for your help.

The idea I had is not supported. I did a quick search in the internet. The focus problem was more often discussed for various backglasses. (Solutions mentioned were f3 key or different compatibility settings. I am a bit sceptical about the solutions and can not test them myself.) Sorry, I am most probably unable to solve it, as it is beyond my control. I will look at your icps backglass. Every other Apollo 13 backglass I checked back for a solution without success. Maybe there is a VPinMame timer which can load up the dmd slower or an alternative focus setting.

That's OK thanks for trying. If I find a solution I will post it here. Sorry to waste so much of your time, just wanted to keep the williams logo and scorebox on my 3rd screen, but it works fine if I just hide it. Again thanks for the awesome backglasses. Hope you continue with the color mods.

Please do not give up, I am 100% sure there is a solution. This forum is the ideal place to find a solution. And you did not waste my time. My interest is that the backglass works and therefore it is my own interest that each feedback is best possible investigated.

 

Thank you again! :)

Bassgeige - Such a beautiful fantasy backglass! It's like Christmastime in the Castro. So colorful and fun. Amazingly creative. Thanks!
