Is it possible to add other information to a backglass already controlled by Pinmame?

My dilemma: I have modified Ice Fever to allow the user to select NHL teams and I would like to reflect the teams on the backglass.  Wildman's B2s displays scores, credits, and Ball in play via pinmame.  In the designer, it appears you either select Pinmame controlled, or scripting, but not both.

 

I have figured a workaround by creating an original backglass that displays team info, and the Pinmame DMD, or DMDext DMD or Alpha-numerics to display the scores.  However, I would much prefer having everything in just a backglass file. Is this possible?

You could try sending a B2S command?
It may not work, i have never tried

 

if B2S designer allowed more than one fantasy version you would be set

 

 

Can the tablescipt do anything?
Yes

I mean its just VB
so technically you can have it edit the b2s file (which is just plain text)
and replace the base64 image with one from a list
(it's base64 so the images are plain text as well)
 

I am not the person to tell you how to do that in VB, but yea it is possible
i mean i do it in notepad++ so

 

that is probably the hard way to go though


If you feel the need to empty your wallet in my direction, i don't have any way to receive it anyways

Spend it on Hookers and Blow
