Backglass Image when browsing tables (2-screen Cab)

[Roterbaron]

Hi,

I was just working on my 2-screen Cab (in meanwhile it's 130+ tables on it) and they all had different styles/quality of backglass images. Doesn't look pretty at all when you are browsing tables with PinballX.
So I decieded to care 'bout that.

I also like the information of Manufacturer,Year it was build and (if possible) units made.

PinballX can display Manufacturer and Year on the table-screen, but it's no way to display it on the Backglass Screen, and the table screen is "full" enough for my opinion.

I made new backglass images for every table, choosing the best quality pics I could find, adding manufacturer, year and units.

In my Cab it really looks pretty enough for me now

So if anyone has the same Problem ... here is a list of Images I updated:

You can find them all in this gallery:

http://www.pic-upload.de/gal-914324/ic3gbi/1.html

It's all .png's and 1280x720px

I think it doesn't matter if your backglass screen uses a different resolution, PinballX will resize the pics by itself (hopefully )

You can find them packed (.7z) on gameex FTP server:

PinballX/Media/Visual Pinball/Backglassimages/Backglassimages with Manufacturer Year Units.7z

Enjoy and have a nice Day

Hey Gilbert - Thanks for sharing these. Not sure if you are aware but you can also upload your .7z or individual files to the PinballX FTP site. Info on how to connect can be found here. FTP uploads are preferable to site links in the forum as links eventually break.

If you do not have an FTP client installed, I recommend FileZilla. It is fairly easy to setup and use, and FREE!

[Roterbaron]

I tryed that bevore uploading to that pic-hoster ...

I'm using FilleZilla but I'm getting no access to the ftp server!

Hey Gilbert,

I just promoted you to a contributor. You have all the perks and access now but please use port 21.

Cheers.

Thanx Tom,

I just upped the archive here:

Thanks Gilbert for sharing your work!

Nice idea. I love how you made the fonts similar to the style of each backglass. Looks very professional.

Even when you think something is a lot of work, because no one else is doing it, when its all done its "your" cab and you got it the way you want. I'm going through the same thing with my cab, in that my 3rd screen DMD has "two screens" on it (DMD and extended backglass), and I'm doing videos for a lot of it, so its a lot of work.... but when its done, it really does make a difference!

Having your work on the FTP may inspire others.... I know it's given me a few ideas!

[Roterbaron]

Thanx for the flowers!

Sure it's a lot of work, but sometimes work can be fun and I really like when things are round. Very often it's the "small" things that make the difference.

btw, if someboy needs another Backglassimage in the same style, feel free to tell me I'll care 'bout it.
