General Discussion / Re: Quick Question

« on: March 21, 2007, 10:11:38 AM »

That's it, that's what I was trying to describe.  When the TD is checking which screen set should be used, it runs from top-to-bottom, checking the conditions of each screen set.  It omits the "default" screen set, because it will be used if no screen sets match the current tournament conditions.

I imagine in your case, your "rounds" screen set was being selected because even after the tournament is over, the round number is still whatever round number it was when the tournament ended.  So when the TD runs "down" through the list, the "rounds" screen set still matches the current conditions and it is therefore displayed.  The "end of game" screen set's conditions are never even checked because a matching screen set was found before ever reaching it.

If you wanted the TD to keep track of your "drink money", you could create a separate rake to track drinks.  Then when a player buys a drink, update the player's initial buy-in, adding the drink cost to the buy-in amount and adding the same amount to the "drink rake".

When you run stats, the drink rake should tell you how much was spent on drinks throughout the season.

As violator noted, when you play the final, add the main rake and drink rake together and place it in the House Contribution field.  You'll still have to set the chip amounts for each player manually.

If you've created a screen set with only the Player Rankings screen in it, and set the conditions of that screen set to display after the tournament is over, but are still seeing a different screen, then what is most likely happening is a screen set listed earlier in the list is matching conditions and being selected.  The *first* screen set that matches the conditions will be the set used.  So, move your "after tournament" screen set up in the list.

Help Me / Re: Start Time

« on: March 20, 2007, 11:39:16 AM »

Change it to what?  The times are calculated from your level durations.  If you change level 1 from 10 minutes to 20 minutes, level 2 start time will automatically change to "0:20", and all subsequent levels will change, too.

The point is to be able to look and see, for example, that round 6 (with a Start Time of 1:00) should start 1 hour after the tournament begins.  Are you just trying to put in a real time for the start of the tournament to see *actual* times?

The "Start Times" listed on the rounds tab are simply the times a level will start relative to the start of the tournament.  It has nothing to do with actual time of day.

Help Me / Re: Capped Blinds

« on: March 20, 2007, 10:17:03 AM »

No way to do it automatically.

But a question: if you're capping the blinds when the game hits a certain number of players, why even keep the clock running?  You could always pause it then manually move to the next level when players bust out.

The other way to do it is to manually update the levels, as tandemrx suggested.  Can be done very quickly with the View set to "Spreadsheet" on the Rounds tab.  You can also add time to the clock by right-clicking on the Tournament page and selecting "Set Clock".

Unfortunately the answer is "no" to both.  There isn't a way to pull "stats" information into the current tournament.  You'll have to do it manually.

Looks like I spoke too soon (again).  When I loaded your layout, the status message is displayed over everything else, as it should.  Then I realized I'm using the latest version under development.  Looks like I added the z-index since version 2.2.2.  So, "this will be fixed in the next version".    Sorry...

Suggestions / Re: Being able to add video

« on: March 19, 2007, 05:22:09 PM »

You can insert video into your layout by inserting a proper HTML element.  Example:

Code: [Select]

<OBJECT width="320" height="240"
CLASSID="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"
type="application/x-oleobject">

<PARAM NAME="URL" VALUE="PATH_TO_VIDEO">
<PARAM NAME="AutoStart" VALUE="True">
</OBJECT>
Add this parameter to hide the controls:

Code: [Select]

<PARAM name="uiMode" value="none">
Add this parameter to stop it from repeating:

Code: [Select]

<PARAM name="PlayCount" value="1">

You could create a separate screen with just the video cell, or with additional information.  You would have to manually go to that screen (hotkeys 1 through 9 by default) when you pause the clock, but if you're pausing the clock, you're already at the keyboard, right?

Create separate screens with different videos and you're off...

There are numerous how-to sites on the web detailing how to insert video into a web page.  Here's one: http://www.mioplanet.com/rsc/embed_mediaplayer.htm

The status messages have a z-index of 2.  I'm not sure why they would appear under your absolutely-positioned elements.  Why don't you attach your layout and let me take a look?

Right now you cannot absolutely position the status messages, but I could put that down on the to-do list.

« on: March 17, 2007, 06:58:55 PM »

1 - Working on that feature right now, actually
2 - Hmm, I think you mean list the moving players by table/seat instead of alphabetically (correct me if I am wrong).  I honestly thought the Player Movement dialog allowed the data to be sorted, but it looks like it doesn't.  I'll put that down to be done.
3 - On the list to-do, not positive if that will make it this time.
4 - Worked on that feature yet again recently and made some disturbing discoveries.  Looks like I'm using Internet Explorer not exactly in the way Microsoft intended.  I'm not using it incorrectly, but it behaves in unpredictable ways when I utilize multiple windows.  Still working on a solution for this.
5 - On the to-do, hopefully will make this next release.
6 - I'll look into this, no promises.
7 - On the to-do, will make it for this next release.
