Hi,

 

i read somewhere that EM credit reels in B2S go higher than 9. But for some reason mine don't.

 

Does somebody have a custom em reel that goes up to 26 or so?

 

 

Thanks and best regards

you need to make the reel 2 segments
a single segment wont just auto expand


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

I tried that too.Then i get the white reel (because credits >10) on the left and a second reel on the right that doesn't do anything.

I saw B2S from other authors where the credit reel worked. I guess they created a custom reel image?!

because your have your reel showing blank for the 1st digit

have it show 0

so 01 02 06 etc

I have one display in the B2S. Two reels, designated credits. Image is "EM credit reel 2".

Using "Controller.B2SSetCredits credit", this is what it looks like with zero, one, nine and 10 credits:

I found a 26 credits reel image. Had to split it into 27 single images to imported a custom credit reel into B2S Designer.

All values of credits show a white box, no numbers. Like a "normal" reel over 9.

Maybe i should try older B2S Designer versions. Other directb2s work after all.

Tested the backglass of "Contest Gottlieb (1958)" with my table. Works like a charm! Uses built-in "credit reel 2", goes over 13. Must be a bug in B2SDesigner...

for some reason you got a value of 90 instead of 9

 

i dont know what happened to 10

 

Not at a machine right now that has any vpx stuff to test with

 

the blank white box is because somehow you are getting a value of blank

internal reels dont have a blank digit because reels in real life do not normally have a blank, they have 0 through 9

 

I will try to look later for you

It's a bug in B2S Designer 1.28. I loaded and saved my backglass in version 1.2, and now the credit reel goes up to 16 instead of 9.

The newer version doesn't save the 11-16 images in the .directb2s. And it doesn't save any of my imported reel images. Created a bug report...

Not sure exactly what you are doing, because it works for me

need a step by step because there is no 11 through 16 reel images
