electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Oy, Hey guys, total newb here, and I thought I was doing so well Hoping someone here can steer me in the right direction:I am building a cabinet, and had VP working with Pinball X on the front end. Later installed my toys, and installed B2S and DOF. Using the DirectOutputConfigTester I can fire off all of the toys. WHen I try to launch any tables in VP now I get an error. I am not sure if this is B2S related or DOF related, or if I did something while troubleshooting and its not related at all I have been trying to find a similar issue on the forums, but it seems pretty vague Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Well, you need to add the db2s controller line in the script for starters, which right now your screenshot indicates it's pointing at the vpinmame controller. The thing is though, that doesn't explain your error. Are you sure you have vpinmame installed properly? Ie: you had vp running ok with vpm emulation but now all of a sudden it does not?

electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 actually, yea, vpinmame all was working well with 3 screens. it wasn't until I tried to get the toys and the b2s server going. I'll add the controller line now, and hopefully that clears it up. That's for the tip! EDIT - Fixed that controller line, but the (as suspected ) the error remains.

Content Provider arngrim Posted July 18, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 18, 2014 try b2s.server, without dof first, means delete the plugin folder, that can already tells you if it is dof or b2s.server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 thanks Arngrim, I did that, and still get the error. I should add, that until i hit OK on the Script error, the backglass, the DMD and the playvield are all visible and running (although not playable) when i hit ok, the table quits.

Content Provider arngrim Posted July 18, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 18, 2014 did you register b2s.server with the registerapp.exe and does it occur for all the tables? you have server 1.301 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 I did register and it told me that all was good. and the server version is 1.301 I believe. I did manage to run the AC/DC table without using the db2s, and it doesn't error out. Odd though that when I had my script using the vpinmame controller I still had the issue. i'll try getting rid of the db2s server and reinstalling it. ALso odd that until I hit OK on the error message , I can get the server properties up and manipulate it and it seems to be working as it is supposed to.

Content Provider arngrim Posted July 18, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 18, 2014 in some tables you need to change the ccontroller value from 1 to 3 to choose your controller, make sure it is not what you have to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 yes, I have a few of those, they are all set proper. I removed Visual Pin completely, reinstalled 9.9.0, reinstalled VPinMAME, and put the scripts back. same issue. It seems though, that the issue only happens on tables that call a ROM, Regardless of whether I use VPinMAME.Controller or B2S.Controller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmagma Posted July 18, 2014 Author Share Posted July 18, 2014 well, its a lost cause now.... thanks for all your help guys I figured it would be a good idea to do a system restore to prior to my DOF install, and whaddya know, my computer won't boot anymore. instead of spending shit wads of time trying to figure THAT out, and then try to figure out the original issue, I could have just reinstalled windows and all the rest cheers guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider arngrim Posted July 18, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 18, 2014 it is not b2s.controller, but b2s.server instead of vpinmame.controller, in your screenshot i see that you still use vpinmame.controller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider Itchigo Posted July 19, 2014 Content Provider Share Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe a vbs file is missing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electricmagma Posted July 19, 2014 Author Share Posted July 19, 2014 Maybe, its too bad none of the loggging picked it up. Its probably a good thing anyways. I have gotten the OS and all the drivers updated last night and am ready to install all the pin software. Any tips for a newb? My plan in this order: Visual pin 9.9.0 plus all the dependants Vpinmame cab version A table to check progress Db2s DOF Check tables again Then pinballx to tie it together My cab has zebs 5 led+STROBE Zebs booster boards 1 ledwiz 1 ipac 10 contactors Zebs gear/shaker motor 3 screens (46/32/15.4) Your help so far is greatly appreciated.
