FullDMD Image Backgrounds Help - 3 Screen Cab

You can use the smallButton/Backglass Picture feature of the Backglass Server to show pics to use as a Background.
You can configure a tablespecific res file for every table to show this.
You will need a backglass shown to have the background pic, but - you can move the backglass out of the screen in your res file. Same with b2SDMD only. You will need to move the backglass out of sight.
In your tablename.res file you can have individual sizes and positions for Backglass, DMD or Background.

You pointed me in the right direction. I loaded the offending tables in VPX, then dragged the DMD to the center position, right clicked and "saved for table ..." looks great now.

 

Thanks

I am looking to find another resource (other than PUP media config) for some FullDMD's, I have my dmd set to low on my 3rd screen. Some tables only have DMD images that work with a center DMD. I haven't been able to find any alternatives. I don't want to use "default" dmd/topper as the image.

 

What aspect of VPX/PUP controls the dmd background? Is it from the pup frontend or Media config? is it part of b2s?

 

Is there:

 

1 - Site that has FullDMD images to use, if so what, and where are they placed after DL'ing

2 - Can I easily change the DMD location to the middle for the specific tables that "require" it, without having to do it each time, or messing up the LowDMD tables?

3 - Can I make my own FullDMD backgrounds, what resources/program needed, also where would they be placed after creation?

4 - Other ideas, please suggest...

 

Thanks in advance
