B2S ScreenResIdentifier

By jarr3

B2S ScreenResIdentifier can be used to help setup your B2S Screen Resolutions and screen setup.

What Stefan Wuehr ('Herweh') started in 2012 continues here.

Full documentation is available in the Wiki at https://github.com/vpinball/b2s-backglass/wiki

This is a separate download, but is also part of the B2S Server, if you have already you can ignore downloading this.

Usage:
Simple to use. Double click the B2S_ScreenResIdentifier.exe to edit ScreenRes.txt or "drop" any TableName.res file on the B2S_ScreenResIdentifier.exe to edit it.

Move screens around as indicated on each window and once happy click save and a ScreenRes.txt for TableName.res file is created/updated in the same location.
B2S ScreenResIdentifier reads out the current resolution and scaling of your screen and in case your scaling isn't set to 100% it will turn red. (see screenshot)

The newer versions of B2S Server supports comment lines in the ScreenRes files. Lines starting with "#" is ignored when reading the ScreenRes.txt or TableName.res files.

Now possible to do like this:
# Playfield Screen resolution width/height
800
600
# Backglass Screen resolution width/height
800
600
...

If any of your tools do not support them you can ask friendly if someone can update them (PinballX is already updated) or use B2S_ScreenResIdentifier.exe to save without comments (using the checkbox).

B2S Extractor

By supafraud

This is a tool for extracting images like score reel image sets embedded in directb2s files that might otherwise be inaccessible. It's a simple tool written in python. I made it because I had issues adding DMD images to EM b2s files that used custom score reels. This allows you to extract the non-standard score reel image sets, then reimport them so it doesn't mess up the directb2s file.

All ID in 1 Visual B2S

By Blacksad

I built this particular B2S, who help me having a visual render of the rom for finding the right ID when I build a B2S.

I think this is helpful and fun, in addition to the Pinball manuel and reading the table script, so I share it if it can help anybody else.
This B2s will show you :

the LAMPS ID wich are used (between ID 1 to 100),
the SOLENOID ID wich are used (between 1 to 60)
the GI STRING ID wich are used (between 1 to 20)

B2S Debug

By Dazz

If experiencing issues with B2S displaying on incorrect display, this will show you what screen you should use as your display.
1. Place B2S_Debug in your Tables folder
2. Run B2S_Debug.exe
3. Upon hitting ESC a log file called B2SLOG.txt will be created in your Tables folder. The output of this fill will show which screen numbers you should enter into your ScreenRes.txt file for your Backglass screen.
Example output:
"------------------------------------------------"
"\\.\DISPLAY1"," First screen"
"\\.\DISPLAY5"," Second screen"
"\\.\DISPLAY6"," Third screen"
"------------------------------------------------"
