How to setup B2S Server for Visual Pinball in GameEx?

[Krakerman]

Anyone know how to do this in GameEx on a Win 7 x64 system? Is there a special command line I need or run before that I have to do?

Nevermind I did some searching and figured out how to get it working. Wow! is all I can say......This just takes VP to the next level on my system.

Installation:
-------------
- First of all check the color depth of the backglass monitor. It has to be 32bit.

- The B2S backglass server requires .NET Framework 4 installed on your computer.

- Unzip all files into your VP tables folder and overwrite already existing files with this new ones.

- Rightclick the 'B2SBackglassServer.dll' and click on 'Properties'. Maybe you'll find the following text on the 'General' tab:
"This file came from another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer". Click on the "Unblock" button.
Everyting is fine when you are not able to find this text.

- Start the 'B2SBackglassServerRegisterApp.exe' in the VP tables folder and the server dll should be registered.
IMPORTANT: With Win7 start the exe as administrator.

- You're ready to download and play some 'directB2S' backglasses.

To play: The table name, and .DirectB2s filename must match!! (Example)
Atlantis.vpt
Atlantis.DirectB2s
These must match and be in your "tables" folder.

Change this line in your table script:
Set Controller = CreateObject("VPinmamecontroller") to Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")
Add this at the end, it will keep VP from crashing..

Sub Tablename_Exit ' In some tables this needs to be Table1_Exit
Controller.Stop
End Sub

Enjoy!

You need not add any command lines your GameEx setup at all. The backglasses will run when you start the table. Also make sure you d/l the b2s_setup from your table folder first to create the resolution and what monitor you want the backglasses to run on.
