Hello, I am new and working on my first table Back to the future but the backglass will not show! I looked in the script and can not find B2S anywhere? What should I do?

 

 

 

Got it working!

Hi.

 

There must be some code like that:

 

 

Dim IHaveB2Sinstalled 'If you haven't B2S installed, set in False
IHaveB2Sinstalled = True
 
If IHaveB2Sinstalled = True Then
    Set B2SController=CreateObject("B2S.Server")
    B2SController.B2SName="Your_Table_Name"     
    B2SController.Run
End If
 
 
 
Remember that the Backglass file has to have the same name as your table in your folder.
 
Hope this can help you.
 
 
Greetings.
 
EpeC.

my first table Back to the future but the backglass will not show! I looked in the script and can not find B2S anywhere? What should I do?

It's best to describe exactly which one of these tables has that problem. There are several BTTF-tables and versions. A good overview is the virtual pinball spreadsheet https://virtual-pinb...dsheet.web.app/

As you haven't descibed your software version and installation, what you have how configured, it's difficult to give an appropriate solution.

  • Do other backglasses from other tables work?
  • at first use simple pins, EM-Pins like bronco or 4 queens which don't use a ROM
  • how do you have installed B2SServer ? using baller-installer or manually installed?
  • is B2S-server registered using "B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe" ?
  • you must have configured a "screenres.txt" and a "B2STableSettings.xml", both are in the table-directory (at first)
    you can configure the screenres.txt using B2S_ScreenResIdentifier.exe , check the screen-config that this is configured is correctly.
  • check in VPX "Preferences, Configure keys Nudge and DOF" that "Disable B2S" is not checked

important: every time when vpx is updated, must be checked, that the vbs-files which are included with that update-files, are also updated copying to the script-dir. of vpx

 

@Epec. In newer, native VPX-tables, there is no longer an explicit call of b2S-server controller. All this happens within controller.vbs which is referenced at top of the table script.


My documentation for installing vpin software with PinUpsystem (Baller installer): https://mega.nz/fold...wAXZlOEMQGbdutQ

Files and PDF-docu in the subdir "Installation vPin-Software with Baller-Installer"

This is an awesome forum thread and an incredibly helpful discussion! The virtual pinball community is always so brilliant at breaking down technical setups, sharing custom cabinet tweaks, and troubleshooting table configurations. Seeing everyone pitch in with their individual expertise and advice is exactly what makes these forums such a goldmine for creators and players alike. Thanks to everyone for contributing to this topic! Once you have finished tweaking your table physics, updating your ROMs, and perfecting your cabinet setup for the weekend, taking a break with a different style of fast-paced digital gaming can be a great change of pace. If you are looking to keep the momentum going with some top-tier online reel entertainment, you should definitely take a look at tonyspins
