I have a new graphics card that makes it possible for me to try out some VPX tables that I couldn't play before but my setup is still not good enough for some of the tables.

So sometimes I want to use DirectB2S and sometimes I do not. 

 

In VP 9 I changed that manually per table with

 

Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinMAME.Controller")

or

Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

 

In VPX that doesn't work for me anymore and changing the controller file in the user directory from "forcedisableB2S=0" to "forcedisableB2S=1" doesn't make a difference as well.

Tables are still looking for directb2s files and prompt an error even with "forcedisableB2S=1"

 

I am now wondering if something in my registry is messed up.. Using Win8

Latest VPX 10.2 has an option in preferences -- where keys are defined to disableb2s.

Thx that worked - it seems to be a global setting so not sure how to handle it on a 'per table' basis. Might have to experiment a bit with the new settings.

I've always just renamed the .directb2s file to 

 

table.directb2s.off 

 

To turn it off, and just rename it back to its original name re-enable it.   Way easier than messing with the table scripts.    

 

There's a global B2S setting in B2STableSettings.xml to surpress the missing .directb2s error file also 

 

<ShowStartupError>0</ShowStartupError>

Hmmm, if you want to turn B2S on or off on a table basis...

 

Make a copy of controller.vbs and rename it to controllerOff.vbs.  Open it in notepad and change the line 

  

    tempC = objShell.RegRead(directory & "ForceDisableB2S")

to

    tempC = 1

 

This controllerOff.vbs file will always run VPinmame and not B2S

 

 

Now, if you want to disable B2S for a certain table that has "controller.vbs", just change "controller.vbs" to "controlleroff.vbs"

thanks - might give that a try. Would be nice to have this setting in the VPX table itself though. Will request this in the 10.2 beta thread.
