After installation of B2S 2.0, plugins are not recognized #46

I installed the new x86 version 2.0 in a new folder path (VisualPinball\B2SBackglassServer). I registered the new DLL and create folders Plugins and Plugins64. They contain DirectOuput shortcut and PinUpPlayer. I checked "Activate plugins", but the button "Plugins Settings" cannot be clicked. I change in the registry the value of Software\B2S\Plugins, but no effects.

I tried to debug the problem with Visual Studio on the project b2sbackglassserver, but how can I debug the DLL ? What should i run?

to debug a dll you can specify the calling app.

Are you on VPU/discord? then please connect there @ Jarr3

Thank you for your reply. No I'm not in Discord. The calling app will be Visual Pinball ? I must search a little more : I tried to launch the project b2sbackglassserverexe with a .directb2s file as parameter. I understood that when I click on the button "Plugin Settings" the window is not open by b2sbackglassserverexe, just registry keys are modified.

Yes VPX calls it through the VB Scripts in the tables. The b2sbackglassserverregisterapp also instantiates it once, to find out if it was successful, We could add a /test flag to b2sbackglassserverregisterapp, to make it do some small initial tests...

Are you VPU maybe?

7heS4ge commented 1 year ago

Thank you. I will try b2sbackglassserverregisterapp. VPU for VPUniverse ? Yes : https://vpuniverse.com/profile/26257-jejevpuniverse/

I found the problem ! When I install B2S x86 on a folder named "B2SBackglassServer", plugins are not recognized (button Plugins Settings always grey) and the .directb2s file does not appear on the screen. My previous path (don't work) : c:\Jeux\Visual Pinball\B2SBackglassServer\ But if I use another names, it's ok : c:\Jeux\Visual Pinball\B2SServer\

this still sounds like magic to me... There is nothing in there (what I know) which should make this happen... Apart from windows not wanting to long paths???

So can you please close this issue?
