System files to run directB2S backglasses.
See the Changelog.txt for recent changes.
Full documentation including instruction videos is available in the Wiki here in the Repo.
The ScreenRes.txt configuration file now supports percent-based values for more flexible screen sizing. This allows configurations to adapt to different screen resolutions automatically.
For this to work the line #4 has to point to the backglass screen using "=#" where "#" is the screen number from left to right.
Example:
# Playfield Screen resolution width/height
100%
100%
# Backglass width/height
50%
75%
- Playfield values use the leftmost (primary) screen as reference
- Backglass, DMD, and Background values use the selected backglass screen as reference
- Percent values can include decimals (e.g.,
33.5%) for precise sizing - Absolute pixel values (e.g.,
1920) are still fully supported - Both formats can be mixed in the same file
See the B2STools.txt for a description of the different tool scripts.
The B2SBackglassDesigner has moved away to it's own repository here B2S.Designer
To build either B2S.Server or B2S.Designer open the *.sln files in Visual Studio (any version from 2019 should work) and select build->Build Solution in the menu. Microsoft has VM's prepared which includes Windows 11 and Visual Studio in one bundle. The license for these normally lasts 3 months each. This is an easy way to test if it works out without having to install many different components.
