gunner Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Hi all, wondering if there's a way to run just the DMD portion of a B2S ? Running a full-dmd on my mini pin now. I have PUP tables that I would like to have the nice full-DMD image running on. Thanks in advance.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Run a Separate ScreenRes.txt file If you are running the Latest backglass server, You can make a copy of your ScreenRes.txt file and change the extension to res and call it the same name as the game Then in that res file make changes for that table and set the Backglass to 1 & 1 or 0 & 0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I had to move the backglass outside of the window. Edited January 25, 2023 by Retsamikit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets say 1920x1080 for example. Your tablename.res file should look like the below. Note the x value for screen 1 is 1920. This pushes the backglass portion off screen allowing a pup window to run in that spot. Notice that the DMD position is now MINUS 1920 as its relative to the left edge of the backglass. Note that this example is for single screen desktop but gives you an idea how to position the different elements # Playfield Screen resolution width/height 1920 1080 # Backglass Screen resolution width/height 1920 1080 # Define Backglass using Display Devicename screen number (\\.\DISPLAY)x or screen coordinates (@x) or screen index (=x) 1 # x position for the backglass relative To the upper left corner Of the Playfield screen 1920 # y position for the backglass On the selected display (Normally left at 0) 0 # width/height Of the DMD area In pixels - For 3 screen setup 540 326 # X/Y position Of the DMD area relative To the upper left corner of the backglass screen - For 3 screen setup -1920 0 # Y-flip, flips the LED display upside down 0 # X/Y position pos When StartBackground Is active, relative To upper left corner Of Playfield ('Small' Button In the Options) 0 0 # width/height Of the backglass When StartBackground Is active 0 0 # C:\path\Frame (The path To the location where you have the background image) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikimaster Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Remember that you can do the same dirty trick with a background pic in Smallbutton/background mode to have a Picture as "Backglass" only without using Popper.

HoJo215 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 You can also set the b2s "form to back" and the pup will load over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i right click to those settings, these are global as i noticed (right?) But this "form to back" should only apply for a specific table ....

So i changed this value to 5760 to move it beyond any visible place. My X-Position of the DMD (line 10) was default at 3840, so i also changed this value to -1920 (shifting it 5760 left to it's default position) (line numbering without comments). # Playfield Screen resolution width/height 3840 2160 # Backglass Screen resolution width/height 3840 2160 # Define Backglass using Display Devicename screen number 2 # x position for the backglass relative To the upper left corner Of the Playfield screen # 0 =default # NEW (shifting away the whole b2s) 5760 # y position for the backglass On the selected display (Normally left at 0) 0 # width/height Of the DMD area In pixels - For 3 screen setup 1920 1080 # X/Y position Of the DMD area relative To the upper left corner of the backglass screen - For 3 screen setup # 3840 = default # NEW (shifting back just the FullDMD) -1920 0 # Y-flip, flips the LED display upside down 0 # X/Y position pos When StartBackground Is active, relative To upper left corner Of Playfield ('Small' Button In the Options) -3476 364 # width/height Of the backglass When StartBackground Is active 484 368 Edited March 23 by Turnbull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
