How To Tell Vp Which B2S To Use

Recommended Posts

Hello!

 

Just installed PhysMod 5 and some tables, GREAT!

 

But....

 

In my table dir I want to have all the PM tables next to each other so I change the name in PM<tablename>.

 

however....the (direct)B2S filename has the <tablename>  without the PM so when starting the PM table it won't start the b2s because it does not have the same name.

 

What I do now is make a copy of the b2s file and rename that copy to PM<tablename>b2s   but then I have the b2s file 2 times in the table dir.

 

I do need to have the original as well because (at this moment) i want my normal non-PM tables to run as well.

 

Is there a script option so you you tell the PMtable that it has to look for an other b2s file then the one with the exact same table-name?

 

2nd question (as i'm writing this I ask myself: ) :

Would it be possible to have a seperate PhysMod folder within the table directory and put the PM tables there? Will this run  (I can try out myself but may-be you know...???

 

In that case I might name the PM tables the same as the nonPM tables so the B2S files can have the same name (although they are one directory "up"

 

thanks!!

Try in your Tables Folder B2STableSettings.xml. Find the Rom Name or add it like this,

if you using the same Rom for both Tables ( i think, yes ):

<rom_name> ( example: waterwld )

   <HideGrill>2</HideGrill>

   <HideB2SDMD>0</HideB2SDMD>

   <HideDMD>1</HideDMD>

   <MatchingFileName>NAME.directb2s</MatchingFileName>

   <LampsSkipFrames>1</LampsSkipFrames>

   <SolenoidsSkipFrames>10</SolenoidsSkipFrames>

   <GIStringsSkipFrames>3</GIStringsSkipFrames>

   <LEDsSkipFrames>0</LEDsSkipFrames>

   <UsedLEDType>2</UsedLEDType>

   <IsGlowBulbOn>0</IsGlowBulbOn>

   <GlowIndex>0</GlowIndex>

   <StartAsEXE>1</StartAsEXE>

   <Animations />

</rom_name>

 

Now you can use 1 directb2s - File for 2 or more Tables which use exactly this ROM !

 

And separate Folder shouldnt be the Problem, just configurate Paths in your FrontEnd like PinballX.

But also dont forget the B2S Files like B2SBackglassServerEXE.exe and others, inside.

Thank you Stefan!

 

So if I'm right this should do the trick (??):  (I take a fake rom_id and b2s_id but it's just as an example, let's say Dracula with drac14.zip as romname)

 

<drac14>
      <MatchingFileName>drac_backglass.directb2s</MatchingFileName>
   </drac14>

 

So...what you do here is you link the b2sfile together with the rom so whenever the rom is used, the same backglass is used...

 

Correct?

 

Thnx!
