Azurden Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just about have all my configs good to go using PBX, FX2, and Visual Pinball... My issue is that only on SOME (always specific tables) of the Visual Pinball directb2s screens when I close the table does the back glass stay up. Other direct B2S tables will close out as they should. Now, if I launch another table in either FX2 or Visual Pinball it will cover over the back glass that did not properly close. And after opening a few other tables and closing them, eventually the directb2s that was "stuck" will eventually close. If I look to see what was left open it shows as "form1" in the taskbar. The B2SBackglassserver.exe does close as it does not show in the running applications. I am new here, but have read posted about doing a taskkill, but this seems to be on the older B2S.exe? Is there a way to force down at close the directB2S back glass Form1? UPDATE: Did a little more playing around with settings... I find if I select "use directB2S in fornt end" the back glass will go away when I exit out of the table back to the wheel menu. Of course now I will see all the dircetB2S back glasses that I have on the system. I am trying to keep a static back glass (image) that I made when going thru the wheel and would prefer it not to switch. Thus the issue with leaving that setting enabled. Seems that the directB2S closes, but the "form1" does not when leaving a few specific tables. Here is the config for one of the tables that the directB2S will leave up in the "Form1" window on the 2nd screen. <game name="Pinbot"> <description>Pinbot</description> <rom></rom> <manufacturer></manufacturer> <year></year> <type></type> <hidedmd>True</hidedmd> <hidebackglass>True</hidebackglass> <enabled>True</enabled> <rating>0</rating> </game> PinballX Config Below...

Azurden Posted December 12, 2016 Author Share Posted December 12, 2016 Sorry, do I have this posted in the wrong area, or did I not provide enough info? If someone could give me any pointers it would be appreciated. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carny_Priest Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Nope, it's the right place. I just don't have an answer. DirectB2S has always behaved well for me as far as shutting down on table exit. That's without exception. Have to ask, but you are using key "e" on your keyboard to exit the table and not Esc or some other key, correct? Are you using a gamepad? If so, then you may need to use a keypadder type remapper to send an "e" keypress instead of what you may have assigned as a gamepad button press. If nothing else works, I suppose that you can run a little bat file that launches after table Exit that kills the process associated with the "Form1" window.

Azurden Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 Actually this is in a cab... So I am using a ipac. And yes I use the "e" key to kill the emulator. Also, I did try the bat file idea with no luck. The strange thing is that the Form1 window has an associated process of the direct B2S.exe process, but that process is closed if you look into running processes... Only the Form1 window is left open. Should note the system is a WIN7 Ent install as well. System hardware on this build is way over the top for what is needed. So I highly doubt that could be it... I have copied the whole PinBallX install folder for a backup, then uninstalled PinBallX and tried a reinstall with no luck. If I launch the game direct form Visual Pinball and close it out the back glass will terminate as it should. It is only a hand full of tables that are doing this. And if I just launch another Visual Pinball table that does not have the issue, typically when I close out of the table that does not have the issue the "stuck" back glass will go away as it should as well. So I have to think the issue is with how PinBallX is closing the VP table? I have also looked into a few posts about adding some script to the end of the able files to close it out as well. But that has not worked either. Also, tried to copy over the pinmame.dll file as well with no change. It does not seem to cause issues as it will eventually close after running other tables. Just an annoyance at best. Only other issue I have had is the rom audio levels. Read all the posts about using the "end" key and F7, F8, or F9 to adjust the levels but some tables I just cant get the audio to a usable level. Different topic for a different post. But other than that all seems to be working well. I will take a video of this tomorrow as time allows. Just so you guys can see exactly what I am seeing.

Carny_Priest Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 It's not F7, F8, F9 to go into the service menu and lower or raise volume. Just keys 7, 8, 9. As always make sure any executable associated with your pinball setup is set to run as administrator. All dll files should be unblocked.
