How to set scores displays on non-DMD tables?  Been looking around forums and there's no way i can find the answer to that just setting replays levels on non-DMD tabeles and setting number of balls per game on non-DMD tables, nothing more. I could swear i read something about it somewhere but it was loooooong ago. Is there a way how to? Thanks for any answers.

Ball adjustment:  http://www.vpforums....tutorials&cat=8

 

If not in that list try pressing F6 for dip switch menu.

 

Once you get into the menu, you can adjust other settings by downloading the user manual from ipdb.org

If you mean showing the PinMAME window on non-DMD tables (when you do not have a back glass) you will need to go into the table script and change Hidden=1 to Hidden=0.  You have to do this for each table you want to have the PinMAME window displayed.

Thanks very much for the replies, but i was looking for the displaying score.Not Guide to reset replay levels on non-DMD tables and/or Guide to set number of balls per game on non-DMD tables. I'm looking on how to display the scores on non-DMD tables, like EM ones. I do greatly appreciates all the help.

Pick one table - provide the link to the table and tell us if you are trying to play in desktop mode(landscape) or FS cabinet mode (portrait)

[4EVERBOOTS]

Ok, sorry for not sending the whole info the right way.Let's start with Aladdin (Bally). I'ts a FS table but converted to DT. I'm trying to play it on DT version.

[gtxjoe]

Link to the table?

[ta2686]

Do you mean Aladdin's Castle VP9 FS B2S?  http://www.vpforums....&showfile=11237

 

You may need to add EM Reels for the score to appear.  I really don't know how to do this, you would need to ask the authors who do EM tables how they get the score to appear on DT tables.

[4EVERBOOTS]

Yes, that's it ta2686. (I thought i posted the link earlier) oh well....

And thanks ta2686.

This will get you started

 

Import the Gottlieb EMReel image attached.  Click on Table->Image Manager.  Click on Import and import this image

 

Click on Backdrop

Click on EMReel and place the EMReel on the screen somewhere, it should be called EMReel1

Click on Options to show the Options tab

For the EMReel1 object, 

    Set Type = ReelImage

    Set Image = Gottleib_Reel2_white-credits

 

Click on Script button

Search for Sub AddScore and change 

 

Sub AddScore(Points) 
	ScorePlayer(Player) = ScorePlayer(Player) + Points
	Controller.B2Ssetscore Player, ScorePlayer(Player) mod 100000
	CheckReplay 
End Sub

 

to

Sub AddScore(Points) 
	ScorePlayer(Player) = ScorePlayer(Player) + Points
	EMReel1.SetValue ScorePlayer(Player)
	Controller.B2Ssetscore Player, ScorePlayer(Player) mod 100000
	CheckReplay 
End Sub

"Import the Gottlieb EMReel image attached.  Click on Table->Image Manager.  Click on Import and import this image". Here's where i get lost. Do i have to copy it or what?

[4EVERBOOTS]

Ok import the image.

After i click on Import it takes me back to the box where i have the images....then what? Click on Open and there shows the image i want to add.That's where really i gets lost.

Click on Import and there's the box again. My guess is then i should look for the tables folder and go to Aladdin's Castle file. Well, that's the images folder. Ok NOW im lost.

Thanks anyway gtxjoe.

I think what he is saying is after you have imported the image into your image manager, which you have accomplished,

 

ONCE THE ABOVE IMAGE IS LOADED INTO YOUR IMAGE MANAGER......CLOSE THE IMAGE MANAGER.

 

NOW CLICK THE BACKDROP TAB AND OPTIONS TAB ON LEFT SIDE OF EDITOR.

 

CLICK EMREEL ON LOWER LEFT SIDE OF EDITOR.

(YOU ARE MAKING A NEW EMREEL. ONCE CLICKED, JUST PLACE OFF TO LEFT OR RIGHT ON BACKDROP WHERE SCORES ARE USUALLY SEEN.)

PLACE THIS EMREEL SOMEWHERE ON THE BACKDROP TO WHERE YOU WANT IT TO DISPLAY YOUR SCORE.

WHEN IT IS PLACED...

IT WILL HAVE NAME "EMReel1" ON UPPER-RIGHT SIDE OF EDITOR WITH THE OPTIONS TAB PRESSED DOWN.

LOOK BELOW THIS ON UPPER-RIGHT OF EDITOR.

NOW SET THE TYPE.....SHOULD SAY ReelImage.

NOW SET THE IMAGE....BROWSE TO IMAGE IN EDITOR THAT YOU JUST IMPORTED INTO THE IMAGE MANAGER..

SHOULD BE AN ARROW ON SIDE THAT YOU CAN CLICK TO FIND THE IMAGE.

 

ONCE YOU HAVE THIS ACCOMPLISHED, YOU NEED TO GO INTO SCRIPT AND CHANGE THE LINES ABOVE AS STATED BY GTXJOE.

 

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.

 

AND GREAT INFORMATION GTXJOE!!! THANK YOU SIR.

 

EDIT:

ON A SIMILIAR NOTE,

I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO MAKE EM TABLES, CONVERTED TO DT, USE THE dB2S BACKGLASSES FOR 1 MONITOR USE. I HAVE CONVERTED ALL TABLES THAT USE ROMS BUT WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW TO GET THE EM dB2S BACKGLASSES TO WORK. ALOT OF THEM DO WORK AND HAVE IT BUILT INTO SCRIPT TO USE THE dB2S BACKGLASSES, BUT MOST DO NOT.

 

IS THERE A LINE IN SCRIPT THAT NEEDS ADDED TO EACH TABLE THAT ISNT SET FOR USING THE dB2S BACKGLASS PROGRAM?

I THOUGHT I SAW SOMEBODY WRITE THAT THEY CHANGED THE CONTROLLER TO THE NAME OF dB2S BACKGLASS.  (FOR EXAMPLE  SET CONTROLLER="ALADDIN.dB2S")

NOT SURE IF THIS WORKS OR NOT.

WILL SOMETHING LIKE THIS SCRIPT CHANGE WORK FOR ALL THE EM dB2S BACKGLASSES?

I AM LOOKING TO USE THE dB2S EM BACKGLASSES, THAT ARE MADE FOR THE FULLSCREEN VERSIONS.

THANKS FOR ANY HELP SIR.

 

KEEP ON PINBALLIN'

Excellent job gtxjoe and xenonph!!! Thanks guys, two thump sup!! (now im going for the script,anything else is done) 

[4EVERBOOTS]

There's a part of the script that is missing: Controller.B2Ssetscore Player, ScorePlayer(Player) mod 100000

    CheckReplay. The part missing: Controller B2Ssetscore.

Well i figured i had to add that line into the script. Hope it works.

[4EVERBOOTS]

Line: 1052: Expected end of statement.

[4EVERBOOTS]

"Sub AddScore(Points) 

ScorePlayer(Player) = ScorePlayer(Player) + Points

EMReell.SetValue ScorePlayer(Player)

Controller. B2Ssetscore Player (Player) mod 100000 CheckReplay". Definitely i did something wrong. I was trying to put "Controller: B2Ssetscore up the "CheckReplay" statement. 

[4EVERBOOTS]

Don't worry people. I just found a way to add the Controller. B2Ssetscore Player (Player) into the script. Woot woot lol.

[4EVERBOOTS]

I finished following the instructions and it's working!!    Now all i needs are the credits and balls displays. Once again thanks a lot guys!!
