I have a few problems:

 

1: I have no dmd so how do I enable this?

2: the table loads and in the and looks like a cocktail style table so how do I adjust the table to be full sixed?

It is an EM table, it does not have a DMD

 

not sure what you mean by cocktail table, have a screenshot?

[tgx]

Set screen rotation to correct 'cocktail' problems.

In VPX choose Backdrop/glass (don't remember the exact name on the button),

and make sure Options button is on then find 'Screen Rotation'

 

You will probably want to launch the table with F6 the first time to size it to your

screen as well.

 

I run mine at '0', some run at 270 but really it depends on your rig.

 

As for the backglass download it and put the directb2s file in your Tables folder.

I have the backglass in there already as for screen rotation that is not the problem. The problem is the table is square and not a rectangle.

Than change it to your liking - it is something everyone should learn how to do in order to have the tables look the way YOU want them to.

I can tell you, no-one releases their tables 100% the same way that I prefer them, either.

ok a few questions

What size monitor are you running this on
And unless you edited the screen shot, how did you arrive at a resolution of 1200x765?
That is kind of an abnormal resolution

1280x720 would make sense, 1200x765 does not

Part of your issue may have 0 to do with the table

 

As for the table, i suggest starting by opening it in the editor

click on the backglass icon

click on the camera tab

and start with these values

 

And if the table still comes up as a square when run in desktop mode
then your gonna have to give up some more info about what kind of setup you got going on there
 

[bha19]

I did not do anything but download the table. I tried your dimensions and they worked. My other problem is still how to get the backglass to show up instead of the gray background (balls per game, credits and score)

Do you have 1 screen or 2?

 

If 1 screen, i do not know that this table has a desktop mode backbox with scoring etc

some authors do not make them in their tables

 

If you have dual screens, you need this backglass file in the table folder with the table

table and the directb2s file should have the same names

I am getting the same problem. I have a 1920 x 1080 monitor (desktop).

[bha19]

I have 2  screens and both the VPX and B2S have the same names but nothing shows up on 2nd monitor. Practicedummy if you make the table changes shown in the above post the table looks better, but still no display.

[batch]

Is Disable B2S unchecked ?

 

[Practicedummy]

Yes for me.

[bha19]

That was it.

then follow my screen shot a few posts up

[Quickdraw19]

I have the same problem. I'll have to play around with those camera settings. If there is a problem with the playfield dimensions, how is anyone supposed to know to go look in the BACKGLASS settings?

well, not for nothing, but it is in the VPX documentation
and all the how to guides on the net

[djredick]

These are my settings for this table in desktop mode if anyone cares.  :-)
