B2s (in it's own folder not working)

[Spacegoogie]

SO I'm  cleaning up folders, and I put all B2s files into a folder under C:\visualpinball\B2s)

I re-registered B2s to new location.

I'm putting all tables into their own folders.

When I launch the B2s backglass on its own they launch just fine, If I load up the table the B2s never loads, and I cant figure out why.

 

I was always under the impression that the B2s files can go anywhere as long as it gets re-registered?

Am I forgetting something...probably.

 

Thanks for any help🍻

The backglass file needs to be beside the table file in the same folder with the same name.
thisismytable.vpx
thisismytable.directb2s

All 892 tables match with the B2s I didn't change any of that,  I'm moving the B2s files into their own folder, I tried C:\visualpinball\B2s and C:\visualpinball\Tables\B2s)

and re-regestered.

Yes all my folders with tables contain there respective files > Tables.vpx, Table.B2s, Screen.tex (if used), altsound (if used), Table.ini, Table.UltraDMD( If Used).

The tables are not triggering the B2s for some reason.

The b2stablesettings.xml should reside in the same folder as the b2s server. Make sure it's the ONLY b2stablesettings.xml that you have and make sure it isn't corrupted. Mine had a missing < on one line and screwed the whole thing up. B2s Server will not properly register if the xml is corrupt. 

Have a look at the B2SServerErrorLog.txt and it should give some clues

I also keep the b2s stuff in a standalone folder, E:\B2S, but ONLY the server files, plugins and b2stablesettings.xml reside there. All tablename.res files stay next to the tables. As long as the B2S Table Settings Extended Path box is checked in settings/more it will work fine

"Extended Path box is checked" I don't think I have seen this or even know where its located.

The screenRes.txt still remains in the "Tables" folder.

 

As of now the only way I have got it to work is keeping the B2SBackglassServer.dll, B2SBackglassServerEXE, B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp, B2SInit, B2SServerPluginInterface, B2STableSettings, and ScreenRes. in the Tables folder.
