This is brilliant, STAT... thank you.  Did you do this conversion with any of the other old .exe b2s backglasses?

That would be awesome... there are others out there that don't have db2s (Centigrade 37, Gator, etc).  Well done.

Unfortunatley, this directb2s mod doesn't work for me. There's no Direct Output.

 

Captain Fantastic and Centigrade 37 work as intended with the same procedure of replacing the script, but not this one.

 

My best guess is that it has something to do with the LMEMDOFTables.txt file. Its entry is automatically reset to "0" after playing this table. That turns the B2S Server and DOF off, right?

 

 

---

 

 

Edit: I found a workaround:

 

DOF not working:

Added Controller.B2SName = "abracadabra" after Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server") in line 66 so DOF knows about the game running

 

LMEMDOFTables.txt auto-reset (causes Problems with other tables using this file):

Deleted SaveLMEMConfig in the Sub Abracadabra_Exit at the bottom of the script

 

I am not sure if this is «best practice» but I am now enjoying this table a lot.

 

Thanks a lot to: STAT, arngrim and pinuck!!! :otvclap:
