backglass frame Silverball Mania - backglass frame

By Gravy

Experimental backglass frame intended to display the backglass at a more natural ratio on 16:9 screen with added reflections. This is intended to be used in conjunction with Hauntfreaks B2S file for this table (example shown framing that particular B2S).

Click the black square for a preview of the actual frame image, unfortunately the thumbnail crops either side of the image so it just appears black.

I'd be interested to know if this is something of interest to other players, I may create more if it proves popular.

See following link for how to add the frame to the backglass.

Look for section 3 that starts with:
"3) New Feature - proportional backglass"

Star Trek (25th Anniversary) (Data East 1991) - 16:9 Background for B2S Backglass

By GristleMcTough

This file is a custom background meant to display behind the B2S backglass. The B2S backglass by @hauntfreaks is not included in this download but can be found here.

I. Purpose
Most backglass art is meant to be displayed in a 4:3 aspect ratio, while most monitors are 16:9. I dislike stretching the backglass to fit my monitor, but didn't want mere black showing on the left and right. I began creating simple, custom backgrounds to thematically tie into the table while not being too visually distracting. The screenshot shows how the backglass now appears on one of my desktop monitors when the table is loaded.

II. Package
Included in the download:
• A 1920x1080 background for this table's backglass
• Instructions including sample .res settings

III. Instructions
Everyone's setup is different, so these instructions are general. Put the background .png file in the same folder as your table. I have all my tables in individual folders. Rename the file to something you find simple and helpful. All my background files are follow this convention: [tablename]-BG.png If you don't have a .res B2S file already present for this table, then generate one. Follow these steps: Double-click on the B2S file to launch it. When it opens, right-click on it to open the B2S option menu. At the bottom, click the button that says EDIT SCREEN RES. The Screen-Res Editor will now open. In the lower left, make sure GENERATE COMMENTS is checked but ENHANCED RES FILE is unchecked. Click SAVE SETTINGS. A .res file was just generated. Close the Screen-Res Editor by clicking the X in the top right. Open the .res file in a text editor such as Notepad Notepad++ (I prefer this because it has tabs & line numbers). Copy the .res settings I included below and replace the ones in your file. Changes to make: Change line 10 to match whatever the number is of your display that shows the backglass. Change line 29 to match your folder structure and name of the background file. Start the table in VPX. Right-click on the backglass to get the B2S options window. Change BACKGROUND to VISIBLE. Quit and re-launch the table. Your backglass should now show in a 4:3 aspect ration, with the background behind it.
IV. Sample .res Settings
Below are the my .res settings for this table.

# This is a ScreenRes file for the B2SBackglassServer. # From release 1.3.1.1 comment lines like this starting with a '#' are supported. # Playfield Screen resolution width/height 1920 1080 # Backglass width/height 1920 1080 # Define Backglass screen using Display Devicename screen number (\\.\DISPLAY)x or screen coordinates (@x) or screen index (=x) 1 # Backglass x/y position relative to the upper left corner of the screen selected 0 0 # width/height of the B2S (or Full) DMD area 670 346 # x/y position of the B2S (or Full) DMD area - relative to the upper left corner of the backglass window 0 0 # Y-flip, flips the LED display upside down 0 # Background x/y position - relative to the backglass screen - has to be activated in the settings 250 0 # Background width/height 1420 1080 # path to the background image (C:\path\Frame) or black if none selected C:\vPinball\VisualPinball\Tables\VPX\Star Trek (Data East 1991)\startrek1991-BG.png # This line would turn off B2SWindowPunch if activated #B2SWindowPunch=off

Star-Jet (Bally, 1963) JB

By Silversurfer

Completely re-drawn as vector graphic by me. This was a tough one. The fantastic artwork of George Molentin is far more complex than the one from my favorite artist Christian Marche. It took me some evenings to complete. Attached is the vector view of the complete back glass and and details view of the girl in the front.

This was a pretty simple one, took just 2 evenings to complete. Original Art by Christan Marche.

Don't let me be the only one doing vector back glasses. Take a look at my tutorial in the tutorial section and try it on your own. It's easy and big fun!!

Snow Derby (Gottlieb, 1970) JB

By Silversurfer

This one was pretty much work. Again a mixture of touch up and quite a lot (!) vectors. I had to adjust brightness and contrast a lot to make the leafs in trees visible .

I think, this back glass is just great. Art Stenholm made a very good job here. A girl/lady riding a snow mobile in a race seems to be pretty unusual for a game from 1970.

Original picture (taken at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas) attached.

Six Sticks (Bally, 1966) JB

By Silversurfer

Completely re-drawn as vector graphic by me.
One of the very few 6-player games I'm aware of (The only other one is Bally's "6 Million Dollar Man", one of my favorite early Bally SS games). I've taken the picture at the Pinball Hall of Fame in Vegas. Fun fact, the game there is a German version... I used the picture I've taken as base for my re-draw, but since I prefer the English version of games, I searched for pictures of the US version on the net and converted my picture.
Looks like there is no VP version of this game, but I'm only in the back glass department, so some motivated person will make a vp version of this... 🙂

Attached is the original picture and the vector view.
