Author(s): Dozer316, Noam
Manufacturer: Williams

This back glass modification is based on the great work of Dozer316.
My contribution is only a minor one in that i duplicated the existing "Super Cellar Door Value" display to the area above the grill.
 
This modification is for all those who have a real cabinet with a real grill with real speakers surrounding a DMD.
In such a setup you probably want to see the B2S without the B2S' grill but with the game's essential "Super Cellar Door Value" display.
Since this display usually resides on the B2S grill, you normally would have to enable the B2S' grill to see the display - which has the nasty side effect that you have 2 grills with double speakers...
 
Hence, i duplicated the "Super Cellar Door Value" display to the B2S area above the grill, so you can disable the B2S grill but still enjoy the display.
This of course results in a back glass which does no longer adhere to 100% authenticity.
 
If you use this B2S, make sure to edit this B2S settings (by pressing 's' on the backglass) and use the following settings:
- GRILL = Hidden
- B2S DMD = Hidden
Also, you should edit the table's script and enable the external DMD (controller.hidden = false)
 
I hope you like my choice of the location for this additional display on the original back glass.
If you are interested, I have created a few more back glass files for tables with additional displays in a similar manner (e.g Taxi, Back to the Future)
If you are aware of other back glasses that could need that kind of rework, let me know.
I am happy to contribute my minor and negligible parts to all the great work of pinball tables and real back glass authors.
 
Enjoy!

Where do I put the table script change? Also, you should edit the table's script and enable the external DMD (controller.hidden = false)

I can't find "controller.hidden" in the script

[jimmay3]

Ever find the external DMD (controller.hidden = false)

 

I have same issue...

[STAT]

Which Table do you use ? Try to find in VP Script: 

 

.hidden = 0

or

.hidden = 1

 

btw. thats an older directb2s Backglass File, there are new, better Versions anywhere ...

And what ecactly is your Issue ?
