Wow. These look very nice. I have a feeling that I'll be replacing my backglass with yours. I love the one you made for Black Hole too ! So, thank you very much !

[Blacksad]

Hope you'll like it ! It was so much work compared to my Black Hole b2s (starting with recreating a high-resolution image of the translite from 8 partial pictures with differents deformation angles )

Im having a "variable is undefined leftbatshadow" error on line 516 after copying the code  - any ideas?

[Blacksad]

1. Make sure you use the Diner 1.2 version table : http://vpinball.com/VPBdownloads/diner-vpx/

2. Delete all the code table and replace it by the one from the STAT file

it should work..?

I downloaded the 3scr version and setup my B2S options as Grill: Hidden, DMD: Hidden, B2SDMD: Visible.  How do I move the formDMD which I'm assuming is the B2SDMD to my 3rd monitor? 

[Blacksad]

@Cognis your B2S options are correct ( Grill: Hidden, DMD: Hidden, B2SDMD: Visible ), you should see the B2SDMD on your 3rd monitor.

Is it the fisrt B2S you're trying to setup on 3 screens ?

In this case maybe have a look to ScreenRes Editor : http://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=18020

Or SetDMD : https://www.pinballbulbs.com/files/setdmd.html

(I never tested my 3scr version because I have a 2 scr mini-pincab but I think it work)

Sincerely

No it's not my first as I've used SetDMD successfully for all my other tables. whenecer I have grill enabled and dmd enabled I get the grill and dmd to show up correctly. This might be the first B2S that I selected to display the B2S dmd. I see it showing up on my 2nd monitor (backglass display) and when I Alt-Tab I see it as a formDMD window. If I'm successfully able to have regular DMDs showing on my 3rd monitor why wouldn't a B2S dmd follow suit?

I'm at work at the moment but will review those suggested links first chance I get. Thanks Blacksad & Outhere.

SetDMD has nothing to do with B2S generated alphanumeric displays. The position of the B2S display is defined by the setting parameters in screenres.txt.

 

I don't know why they call it B2SDMD. B2S does not generate dot matrix displays. You would only use B2S generated scoring for the older LED alphanumeric displays (basically 80s era tables).

[Cognis]

As you all guessed it was the ScreenRes file. I updated my positioning and everything is perfect now. Thanks everyone!

I have a focus issue on my BG, pls have a look:

The big pointer from the clock is behind the right wallpaper (part of the clock) I'm also not sure, if it right that the middle of the big pointer is more up as the smaller one.

Can I fix it for myself? If Yes, pls tell me how...If not: is there a chance for a fix?

[DeWe]

I've try all B2S variant:  In all B2S is the issue visible.  If the table start, the B2S Server is first finish and the backscreen looks ok. The init of the clock runs well. If the table is finsih after load and the long clock hand goes 5 minutes forward,  the issue is visible. 

Another observation.  The axis point of the long clock hand looks like somewhere in the middle and not at the correct end.

I attach a pic, where the diner clock (the lights around) are on 6 o'clock. (6o'clock is blinking, the axispoint of the clock hand is up in direction of 12o'clock (red circuit) )  

Maybe it is necessary:  I use the last table from VPW , which also available in parallel on this side.

Error correction

[Cliffy]

You are correct @DeWe the minute hand disappears behind the translite and it's center axis is not even close to the center of the clock face.  I'm using @hauntfreaks version and it's doing the same thing as @Blacksad's

Thanks to you I can't unsee it! Ignorance was bliss

[hauntfreaks]

I will look into it... since I didnt make the b2s part, it might need a rebuild...

[Cliffy]

Tested with B2SServer-2.1.1-2e001ca and all 3 iterations of this directb2s work fine. The problem is with b2s server 2.1.2 it seems. @jarr3 is being copied on this.
