Content Provider rosve Posted January 22, 2018 Content Provider Posted January 22, 2018 Hi everyone, I've been away from virtual pinball for quite some time now but a few days ago I found out that Stefan (Herweh) made the source code public. I am surprised to find that the old screen selection "bug" from my original B2S code is still in there. The backglass screen number that you enter into the screenres file is used in B2S to select the display with that number in it's name: DISPLAY1, DISPLAY2 ... A better solution would be to use the number in screenres to select a screen from the screen order as it is defined by the user. Number 1 should point to the first display, number 2 should point to the second display and so on. Same method as the old UVP and probably also PinballX is using. Here is a suggestion to any programmer who want to experiment with it. The screenshots are from the class B2SScreen in the b2sbackglassserver. Same changes must probably be made in the b2backglassserverexe as well. My changes are highlighted in the screenshots. Only problem with this change is that the old B2S.exe files may be displayed on the wrong screen for some users. Could be solved by storing the old b2s in a separate folder with it's on screenres file.
Thalamus Posted January 22, 2018 Posted January 22, 2018 Nice to see you back Rosve. Hope you decide to stay awhile too. There has been a lot of changes as you see to VP in the last couple of years I'm not into the coding but I know that there has been done changes to db2s and I'm not sure if that has updated to any repo.

Content Provider rosve Posted January 23, 2018 Author Content Provider Posted January 23, 2018 Well, I’m not really back to visual pinball again. Only passing by. I will maybe stop by more frequently in the future.
Thalamus Posted January 23, 2018 Posted January 23, 2018 But you've tried at least the latest and greatest ? It has become damn impressive. Stuff like this is made Ok, if that can't tempt you - nothing will Anyway. Nice to see you're not completely forgotten about us. Don't be a stranger !
Content Provider rosve Posted January 23, 2018 Author Content Provider Posted January 23, 2018 I don’t even own a PC so I can’t try the new stuff. Getting a new computer is on my list but way down with the low priority stuff.
