Posted 01 April 2020 - 08:19 PM

So I'll start off by saying a massive thank you to DDH69 for all your hard work! I got the animated backglasses working in Pinball FX3 with a 2-screen setup (no toys or LED's etc.) and I'm going to describe below what I did to get it working. However, I have a problem! If I play Pinball FX3 in Fullscreen mode then as soon as DOFLinx gets the B2S server to load the background, FX3 freezes and won't accept any input to navigate through the menus. After reading a little on this issue it was suggested that I try "Borderless Window" mode and indeed this stopped the freezing BUT the background covers the DMD! (I can alt-tab back to windows and the DMD then shows up but I would like the DMD to stay on top of the background). So can someone help me- how do I get the DMD to stay over the top of the B2S background in borderless window mode? Or alternatively, can I get FX3 to stop freezing in fullscreen mode?

 

Here is the process I followed: I installed latest version of DOF and DOFlinx. My first major problem was that I had no "directoutputconfig.ini" file. I tried to use the DOF config tool and found it way too complicated as I'm not using any toys or LED's etc. I finally got the tool to produce for me a directoutputconfig.ini file after telling it I had one LEDWIZ device (whatever that is). I read somewhere that if you have no toys or anything then the only relevant section of directoutputconfig.ini is the [colors DOF] section and so I removed loads of stuff leaving me with my file having just this:

Now onto DOFLinx.ini. In the folder, "Sample INI files" I found a config file called "DOFLinx-FX3 B2S Backglass only-No toys" and so I renamed it to DOFLinx.ini and put it in the DirectOutput folder. After reading other advice I edited the file and added DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig.ini to the very beginning and made sure "DISABLEDOF=YES" was in there too. I made sure that the paths were set up correctly. Here is my DOFLinx.ini:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DIRECTOUTPUTCONFIG=c:\DirectOutput\config\directoutputconfig.ini
DEBUG=1
####
# The config file for DOFLinx to achieve B2S backglasses only with Pinball FX3
# IMPORTANT - when used just for backglasses with FX3 and no output devices with toys, you must add this command line options for DOFLinx, 
DISABLEDOF=YES
#PROCESSES=Pinball FX3
#
# Edit this file as you see fit, lines that start with a hash (#) or are blank are not processed.  This blurb and comments can be cut out if you want.
####
 
# Point to your directoutputconfig.ini file.  Your file may have a number, ie directoutputconfig20.ini
# You can point to any of your directoutputconfig.ini files, but only one
# Keep this as the first pararameter to process in your INI file.  The order past ths point is not relevant
 
 
 
# The location of the .FX3 game specific files included with the DOFLinx release package
# Ensure your path has a \ on the end of it
 
PATH_FX3=C:\DirectOutput\FX3\
 
# The path to where you keep all of the .directb2s files that you've downloaded for use with FX3
# Ensure your path has a \ on the end of it
 
PATH_FX3_B2S=C:\DirectOutput\FX3_B2S\
 
# This is the folder where B2SServer.exe can be found on your system
 
PATH_B2S_SERVER=c:\Visual Pinball\Tables\
 
# The list of processes that can activate DOFLinx, in this case, just Pinball FX3
 
PROCESSES=Pinball FX3
 
# An over-ride to the default setting given this is just being used with Pinball FX3, not FX2, FP or other systems that may require the default delay
 
PROCESS_TO_ACTIVE_TIME=1
 
DIRECTOUTPUTGLOBAL=C:\DirectOutput\config\GlobalConfig_b2SServer.xml
 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
At this point I tried out FX3 and it didn't work! I checked the DOFlinx.log file and it said something about no valid output devices. After scratching my head for some time I finally found that the problem was that the B2S files could not be found since the package has all the B2S files zipped up in the "FX3_B2S" folder. I unzipped them and hey presto! The backgrounds started loading! I was ecstatic. For a short time haha. It's at this point I found that Pinball FX3 hangs in fullscreen mode. Changing to borderless window mode stops the hanging but then the DMD is covered by the background! Can anyone help?

This is a normal problem  ---> Fullscreen mode B2S server FX3 freezes and won't accept any input to navigate through the menus.

It sounds like you have a 2 screen setup and the DMD is going Behind the B2S backglass?

Yeah that's right, how do I stop that from happening and keep the DMD on top or the backglass behind?

 

Thanks, Lee.

If you right click a VP table with a regular back glass is this the menu you get?

Then try this

In your DOFLinx.ini file add the DEBUG=1 and re-DOFLinx
Then a window will open right click and you will have a menu click on test B2S
Put the name of the B2S file for FX3 in their and click OK
The backglass should start, Now right click the backglass and uncheck Bring BGs Form to the top save settings close restart the game and see what happens

This is the log i have.

Is it possible that zen has made any updates and that doesn't work?

The above log contains many attempts to startup DOFLinx.  Only the first one on 7/4 was successful.  What have you changed from that time?  Do you have a backup your setup to return to?

 

It certainly looks like you've changed the running permissions of things at the very least.
