Help Me / Re: Two layout token questions
« on: November 06, 2011, 09:31:49 AM »
Possibly shining a bit more light on Issue #1:

If I change the token from <round> to the (seemingly redundant) <level> token, I always get my current round - 1 displayed (i.e., if the tournament is in the sixth level, the <round offset="{anything"}"> token displays as  6, and the <level> token displays as 5 (as does the <level offset="{anything}">, though it would appear that the <level> token does not take any parameters).

I can provide my layout files if they would help, though I'd have to have my hand held in doing so.  (And I've also managed to install a custom font as well, and would have no idea how to share that without some assistance.)

Help Me / Two layout token questions
« on: November 06, 2011, 09:22:47 AM »
V3

1. I'm trying to add a token that displays the next round number.  I'm using
Code: [Select]
<round offset="+1"> as the contents of my token.  The resultant output display is the current round.  Using +2 or other numbers does not change this behavior.  Not using the + sign does not change this behavior.  Not using the quotes doesn't change this behavior.  Using a - sign does not change this behavior.  I only have two Property Sets: After Tournament (the only modified Condition behing "Stage: After game"), and Default (which is the one I can't get to work appropriately).  Advice?

2. I would like to display the duration of my next round in MM:SS format.  The default output of the <duration> tag is in HH:MM format.  Using the Contents of this token as
Code: [Select]
<duration round="+1" format="clock" alwaysShowHours="false"> does not accomplish what I'm after.  I'd be comfortable with a workaround that only displayed the minutes of the next level (after which I could manually add the text ":00" to accurately represent the seconds).  Unfortunately I have a frequently used structure that changes the minutes on a round-by-round basis, so I cannot hard code the minute text into my general layout.   Enabling the alwaysShowHours tag for the <duration> token would be a great fix. :)

Thanks for your help on both these issues.

Help Me / Re: V3: 1024x768 recommended, but netbook limited to 1024x600

Well, your generous trial period should hopefully allow me to see if I'm going to run into issues before committing.  So far I haven't run into any showstoppers.  V2 worked (with the same {annoying} move the windows to access the bottom for certain screens), so I'm optimistic.

Thanks for the great support, and congrats on the recent milestone.

That has definitely been my finding so far in the little bit of time I've spent playing with it.  (Thanks for being nice about my 1024 pixel vs. 1028 issue!)

There are a few windows that need to get moved to the very top of the screen to get to the [OK] [Cancel] [Apply] options at the bottom, but nothing has been so egregious that you can't continue on with what you're doing.  The menu movement with pop-up right-click options works really well (and is appreciated!).

Help Me / V3: 1024x768 recommended, but netbook limited to 1024x600

Screen resolution issue.  I use The TD2 on a netbook which has a native resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.  I see V3 has a recommended minimum resolution of 1024 x 768.  If I make the conversion, what is going to frustrate me?

Also, I'm guessing this specific question will be followed by many others of a similar nature.  Teach a guy to fish?  Is there a spot where these sort of things have already been discussed?

Thanks in advanced.  Were I not unemployed, I'd have already forked over the $$ for the new version, but I've got to be a bit frugal at the moment...
[edit to fix resolution widths: originally I had them as 1028 rather than 1024, and want to get 'em right in case folks find this thread via the search function...]

Thanks, Corey.  You are correct and that did work.  So much for my ability to pay attention to details. :)

Thanks for a great piece of software.  Is there any where beneficial on the web where I can give an unsolicited user review which would be helpful for you?

I understand I'm necromancing an old thread, but this is the topic that search turned up.  I had the same issue: busted out the incorrect person at the end of the tournament.  I can undo the bust-out, but I didn't find my error until a few weeks after the issue.

How do I adjust the end-time of the tournament?  I can't find it anywhere.  (Version 2.5.12, FWIW)

Thank you,
