Need a bit of help... How do I turn off b2s exact match? I turned it to Exact Match by accident for a table and now I can't get the backglass back.

Try naming the backglass the exact same name as the table.

What Xenonph says is the preferred method-, i.e., naming the directb2s exactly same as the table name. You can turn off exact match in the B2STableSettings.xml if needed.

<B2STableSettings>

  <ArePluginsOn>1</ArePluginsOn>

  <DefaultStartMode>2</DefaultStartMode>

  <DisableFuzzyMatching>0</DisableFuzzyMatching>  <--setting this to 1 disables mismatched names, setting to 0 allows them.

Tried this it is still happening on the table I changed it for. It still isn't opening for the table I changed the setting on. I tried deleting that tables entry wholesale but still nothing. Tried opening the backglass separately and changing the setting and saving, still nothing. Re-Downloaded the table and the Rom and Backglass, still doesn't work.

Finally got it to work. I tried renaming the b2s again and this time it worked. Go Figure.

There is an option in the B2S menu to disable "Exact Game Name Match". Right click on the B2S back glass to get the menu- the option is located there. But, as previously stated, renaming the back glass file the same as the table executable is the best way to go.

 

After giving this more thought - I'm wondering if having the "Exact Name Match" disabled would allow one to have a single back glass file for several versions of the same table.

yes you can, but you will can also get a lot of false positive when usimg fuzzy search.

Yes but....

For it to work right, you need the backglass name, and the 1st 7 characters of the table name (i think it is 7)
to be IDENTICAL and also UNIQUE

 

So you will find you can not keep author's table names many times, cause it will mess things up

Hi, I recently updated B2S Server and now it appears the fuzzy search is not working. I like to have one directb2s file and have that work for multiple table versions. After the update I can only get the backglass to work if it's an exact file name match to the table.

 

Looking at the BTSTableSettings.xml file I see there's a global DisableFuzzyMatching parameter. Setting that 0 or 1 makes no difference. Exact name is still required. Anyone get this to work??

 

Thanks

Try right clicking running backglass with mouse, and a Settings window will appear, and there should be an "Exact Match" option that you can uncheckmark.

Did try that. No luck, still requires exact name match. Seems neither the setting in the backglass settings or in the xml work.

In the newest b2s server version vbousquet disabled the fuzzy b2s function. So you need to have separate .directb2s for every table.

Had a feeling that might be the case. Oh well. Thanks

Hi Simple solution

 

 

open admin command prompt

navigate it to the tables folder

 

now type

mklink  name_of_b2s_file_that_you_need_but _dont_really_want  name_of_b2s_file_you_want_to_actually_use

press enter

 

 

example

I have attack from mars jp 4.0 and attack from mars bigus 5.0 and i want to use the jp backglass for both

 

mklink  "attack from mars bigus mod v5.0.directB2S"   "attack from mars JP Salas V4.0.directB2S"  

 

 

Yes any names with spaces must be quoted
