This allows you to, for example, have a bounty on a returning champion and still use the automatic prize feature. - Added checkbox for each prize to denote whether or not the prize should be dispayed on the Tournament page. - Added Email Addresses export option for Players tab and Database tab. - New layout tokens added: - numberoflevels - Displays the number of levels defined - numberofrounds - Displays the nubmer of rounds defined - numberofbreaks - Displays the nubmer of breaks defined - totaltime - Displays the total amount of time defined in the schedule - totalplayingtime - Displays the total amount of time dedicated to rounds defined in the schedule - totalbreaktime - Displays the total amount of time dedicated to breaks defined in the schedule - elapsedbreaktime - Displays the amount of time elapsed that was spent in breaks since the tournament started - Optimized tournament saving; reduced save time by nearly 50%. - Added preference to automatically pause the clock when the Tournament Director suggests player movement. - Added Opacity to Status Messages. - When you drag a player from one seat to another, and the destination seat is already occupied, the TD now presents a dialog of options, instead of dropping the player into the first available seat. - Added context-menu options to insert and delete seats at a table. - Preference added to display numeric input values in a plain, or unadorned, manner. This option removes commas and monetary symbols from input values. - Worked around an Internet Explorer bug to reopen the Help and Hotkeys dialogs in the same location that they were last in. - Added dialog for quickly setting "Paid in Full" on multiple players, and added hotkey for quick access. - Added dialog for quickly resetting the duration of every round and/or break. - Added stats showing the number of times a player has busted out at each rank. Added "First", "Second", and "Third" columns to Stats tab, so you can quickly see how many times a player has ranked in the top 3 spots. - Added preferences for specifying the export templates to use. - Added elapsed time and playing time to tournament export fields. - New sound events added: - when [n] seconds are left on the clock during a countdown - when a player busts out in the money - when a player busts out on the bubble - when a player busts out with rank [n] - when a player is [n]th player to bust out - "Bounties Kept" and "Bounty Money Kept" fields added to to Players Tab and Stats Tab - "Number of columns" property added to Seating Chart page properties. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Bugs Fixed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - When more than one screen set or property set matched the given tournament conditions, the first set should be used (as described in the user manual), but was not necessarily being chosen. - Sign-in sheet was using the checkmark image for players who had already paid. This only works if the exported sign-in sheet was located in proper location in the filesystem. The checkmark image is no longer used, to avoid broken images. - Export of Action Summary (on Summary tab) has been updated to use carriage return + linefeeds for end-of-line. - Certain banner set configurations could cause an error to display on the Game tab. - An error could occur if moving to the Summary tab and then to a different tab very quickly. - If the "Buy-ins" value was set on the Chips tab when no chips or chipsets were defined, an error could occur. - If multiple rakes are defined, pressing the Rake button on the rebuy player dialog (immediately after a player busts out) caused an error. - Duplicate hotkey action error always displayed when editing an existing hotkey. - An error was seen if a player who was part of a prize chop was deleted from the tournament - Error displayed if, when editing a database player, the player's first and last name were changed such that they matched those of another existing player. - The Copy button on the Status Messages dialog did not copy the Flash attribute. - The Set Per-Player dialog on the Chips tab did not accept non- integer values for chips. - Tournament sounds did not play for some users. - When multiple sound events exist for the same event, the Tournament Director will choose one at random when the event occurs. However, for the start/end of round/break event, the first sound event found (matching the event) was played instead of a random one. - Multiple sound events were played simultaneously when a rebuy was purchased. - The token displayed "1x1" instead of "2x1" when the tournament was down to 2 players. - Use of the "=" operator in the Conditions dialog (when editing Screen Sets or a Cell) caused an error. - Bounty was awarded to the winner(s) of a tournament even if bounties were not used in the tournament (bounty money awarded was 0, so winnings, etc, were unaffected) - Bounty money kept was not added to total winnings on Stats Tab. - Deleting a level could cause the tournament to start. ====================================================================== Welcome to The Tournament Director 2.0!
