Cargar imagen previa visual pinball

[gokwh]

Buenas compis, os comento la idea que tengo..

Me he fabricado un pìnball low cost con dos monitores, uno de 18,5 y otro de 14, un mini pinball, uno es 16:10 y otro es 4:3. la duda viene con el 4:3 que es el que uso para backglass

Tras probar muchisimas mesas he visto que cada una ponia pa parrilla y los marcadores como le venía en gana, asi que me puse a investigar para intentar convertir los 2 monitores en 3...de locos. La idea que tube fué la siguiente.

El monitor 4:3 tenía un resolución 1024*768 tenía configurado asi el B2S_SetUp 

pues bien haciendo una regla de 3 cambié dicha resolución para hacer un moni monitor 16:9...puse 1024*576 de esta manera ya tendría backglass de 16:9, dejando libre una parte del mismo monitor donde metería la parrila con su dmd hecha por mi, encondería la de los backglass descargados y dejando solo la imagen. Asi consigo tener todos los dmd en el mismo sitio con la misma media y todo igual, estéticamente queda muy bonito...

os adjunto la imagen popr si alguno en mi situación queréis hacerlo...como no tengo mucha idea la coloque de fondo de escritorio, de esta manera al cargar las mesas desde visual pinball queda genial....

Ahora llega mi problema, suo de fontend pinball x y me gustaria cargar esta imagen en el monitor superior antes de cargar la mesa, he visto que exite para cargar programas antes y al finalizar, la pregunta es:

¿Alguién me podría hacer un scritp para ponerlo en la configración previa para cargarlo y otro para cerrarlo?

Por otro lado usaré dos visual pinball x, uno configurando el B2S_SetUp a 1024* 576 para esta idea con dmd externos

y otro con B2S_SetUp 1024*768  para lod backglass que ya incluyen del marcador, creo que se llaman electro mecanicos si no entendí mal.

Se aceptan sugerencias para esto último, gracias compañeros y perdón por la paliza.

I am a little unclear (using google translate) as to what you're trying to do. Please attach your pinballx\log\log.txt and pinballx\config\pinballx.ini files as they help our understanding (as may diagrams or screen shots).

What i think you are trying to do is, using the image image above define screen areas as below on one screen?;

The colours indicting the areas they are used. I think you could do this by keeping the desktop wallpaper and in pinballx settings define the backglass area and offsets as the green area and the DMD area and offsets as the red area. They will appear on top of the wallpaper in pinballx and in visual pinball.

When tables load in visual pinball you can right click on the backglass and select to hide the backglass's own DMD grill.

For electro mechanical table that don't use a DMD you can keep the same setup and still show the speakers, but just add a logo or something to the wallpaper image (which would be covered by the DMD for table that use one). e.g.;

 

Sorry if i have misunderstood (just blame google!! )

Al final use IrfanView:

antes cree un bat con este contenido: i_view64.exe dmd.png /monitor=2

para cerrar otro con este contenido; i_view64.exe dmd.png /monitor=2 /killmesoftly

Configuré previamente el programa para que iniciese en pantalla completa,

I previously configured the program to start in full screen,

Ah, so PinballX is still set as a 2 screen setup (with no DMD, just a full screen backglass). It might be easier (for maintenance) to reconfigure it as 3 screen with different offsets for the DMD and backglass running on the same monitor - then you'd have no need to use irfanview to show the grill image with launch before and after scripts. Simple scripts though, nice solution! (but do you need a /fs on the first one to launch irfanview in fullscreen?)

Well, I didn't want to touch the pinball X configuration and I decided to do it this way because I'm thinking of making 3 visual pinball folders:
1- for the external dmd I will use the idea above
2- for the EM in this case I will change the configuration of the b2sserver to 1024*768 to use the full monitor in 4:3
3- For the pinvideos I have to go deeper but I will use part of the main idea (create 3 virtual monitors) using the 1024*576 configuration for the backglass and the rest for the dmd.

I directly configured the program to load the grid image in full screen
