This is pretty much the last thing I'm trying to figure out in gettng my VR setup done. I don't know if it's possible or not, and I guess I'm not sure if I'm referring to it by the right name, but am I able to have this image that's around the DMD show in VR? So in the link below, the image that can either have Homer/Bart or Marge/Lisa on it depending on which one you choose.

If I run the table in non-VR, this image shows on my screen. But when I load the table in VR, it's not visible. Is there anything I can/need to do for it to show up? Thanks.

Hi

 

At first, most of VR tables does not need B2S as normal play mode need. The Backglass is already there

VPX GL block direct B2S automaticaly.

Some tables does not have VR environment. That is not VR tables and B2S not work properly.

Yeah I've noticed that the VR tables don't require B2S files, but from what I've seen they can be used to substitute what's included with the VR table.

 

For example I downloaded/have used this Walking Dead VR table and as shown in the image, you can see the backglass has a gold AMC logo, the zombies have color to them, etc.

But I also downloaded this B2S backglass and in this one, it has a much more overall white color to it with the logo and zombies.

When I load my VR table, that white B2S shows in place of the one that's on the table originally so it would seem, to me at least, that it is possible to have the B2S files "replace" what's on the VR table, unless I'm missing something. So seeing that work, it just made me wonder if it's possible to do things along similar lines with the speaker grill images like The Simpsons one above, and The Walking Dead link has one too.

I know you mean. It would be cool.

You can take over external backglass / DMD capture in VR checking the box in VR settings but, think is not possible to turn on the grill because the grill belongs to backglass server program. I´ve never tried for backglass only for DMD.

I don´t know if VR enviroment can work together backglass server.
