      I am sorry that it took so long but it was a busy week. I have installed everything but I get an error in line 124 (can’t create object ‘B2B.Server’) when loading the table. I am pretty sure this is an oversight of mine and I would appreciate help :-)

        I believe that was all I had to do to get it working. Been awhile since and I’m getting old … sigh !

          Did anyone get the image on the DMD monitor working?

          My backglass is 1.1 and working on the backglass monitor but no image on DMD monitor.

          Any suggestions?

            Instructions to get the DMD image to display in this Whoa Nellie dB2S:

            1. Download B2S Designer – http://vpuniverse.com/forums/files/category/43-b2s-designer-install-support-files/
            2. Copy the contents of the archive file to some folder on your hard drive (perhaps C:\B2S Backglass Designer) and run the executable
            3. File -> Import ‘directB2S’ backglass file… and then import the file
            4. File -> Settings…
            5. In the Settings dialog, ‘B2S DMD’ location setting: pulldown -> select ‘B2S DMD’ only on DMD (‘third monitor’) and then click Ok
            6. Backglass -> Create ‘directB2S’ backglass file

            The designer will output to a Projects\nellie folder that it creates

            That’s it!

              Thanks Carny, will give that a run. Cheers mate.

              EDIT – Followed that and it worked perfect, great explanation. The only thing I need to know is how to display it on the DMD. How do I have 2 backglasses going at the same time??

                I’m not following. Can you attach a picture?

                  Sorry mate, I guess I wasn’t clear.

                  I followed your instructions and created the nellie folder, perfect.

                  What do I do with that new folder and its contents? I have B2S DMD set to visible but where I put the contents of the folder must be wrong as I can’t get it to show up on my DMD. Thanks mate.

                    Step 6 creates the new directB2S format file in the folder nellie. Copy the directB2S file it to your tables folder. Rename the file so that it is identical to the vpx file name. Play the table. That’s it!

                      Ok, thats what I did but I couldn’t get it to work. I still only get the backglass, nothing on the DMD monitor. I’ll play around with it now that I understand that I have the process down.

                      So the JPG files in the My Resources created folder are superfluous?

                      I have all of the backglass options in B2S set to visible. All good, thanks for your help.

                        Yeah, it is the directB2S that you want. You import the old one, apply a fix so that the DMD image will be viewable, create a fixed version and use that instead of the original.

                          Thanks Carny, for some reason my system is not showing it. It will be something simple, just have to continue trial and error. Thanks. B2S Designer shows the DMD image is there, it just doesn’t show up.

                            where in script do i need to edit the keys ?

                            0

                            Normally my start button is the startkey and not 1.

                            How can we change it to the startkey (button 8 from the virtuapin controller)?

                              Sounds like you looking for a keycode change – http://www.armuco.ch/bubble/VisualGuidehtml/keycodes.txt

                                Yes I know the list, thnx, but on another table I had to change the keycode to this: “StartKey” as my startkey is button 8 on my virtuapin controller.

                                Only thing is that I don’t know where to change it in the script…

                                  Not at home – one think you could do when you have problems knowing what key is what is to cheat using the table safecracker. Just set the option that asks you to press a key to “program” what key is the token key. If you then press the button that you want to change and then do it again, the next time what you want to change it to. You could later on just search for keycode(originalkey) – replace with the value from the last test.

                                    From another post, is this the issue/fix similar?

                                    Try opening the script editor and searching for
                                    ‘If Keycode = 6’ (which is the 5 key on the keyboard) and replacing it with ‘If Keycode = AddCreditKey’ or ‘If Keycode = AddCreditKey2’ depending on your preference.

                                        The safecracker tip from Thalamus worked for me, it seems that my start button has the 44 keycode (because in VPX the letter Z is also the Start Button)

                                        So in the script on line 220 you’ll  find this: if keycode = 2 then

                                        changed it to if keycode = 44 then

                                        and my start button is working!

                                        Thnx for helping. :good:
