I have tryed modifing autoprizes.xml for how the pay outs go for one of the toutnys I help run. But i keep getting an error when I do. Something about the first line wich i never changed.
Pay outs go as followes. numbers repisent multibles of buy ins insted of percentages
Players 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
First 2 3 4 5 6 6 6 6 7 7 7 8 9 10 10 11 11 12 13
Second 1 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 4
Third 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2
Fourth 1 1 1 1 1

Post the file after you've modified it and we can see what might be wrong.

Is there a way to do multibles of buy ins rather than percentages?
-
Here is what I tryed
-
<prizeLevel minPlayers="11" maxPlayers="11">
<prize rank="1" nil="63.6" shareLeftover="true" />
<prize rank="2" percent="27.2" />
<prize rank="3" percent="9.2" />
</prizeLevel>
The attribute nil should be percent.
However, after fixing this I'm seeing another error where it thinks the prize levels overlap, but as far as I can see they don't. Might be a bug. I'm investigating.

Not a bug, just me not thinking clearly. OK, I've attached a modified version of your file that should work. Here are the other issues I found:
<prizeLevel minPlayers="7" maxPlayers="7">
<prize rank="1" name="{1} Place" percent="87.7" shareLeftover="true" />
<prize rank="14.3" name="{1} Place" percent="30" />
</prizeLevel>
You've got rank 1, and rank 14.3. This actually produces only a warning, as 14.3 would be rounded to 14, but gives a warning due to no prizes for ranks 2 through 13.
<prizeLevel minPlayers="16" maxPlayers="16">
<prize rank="1" percent="62.5" shareLeftover="true" />
<prize rank="2" percent="18.6" />
<prize rank="3" percent="13" />
<prize rank="2" percent="5.9" />
</prizeLevel>
Overlap of ranks, as you've specified prizes for ranks 1, 2, and 3, and then 2 again. This is the same for prize levels 16 and up. I changed the second 2 to 4.

When I try to use your file or any of mine I get this error.
audomatic prizes file: exception parsing file on line one

Whatever editor you used to modify the file encoded it in UTF-8 format. The Tournament Director version 2.x doesn't like that. Try this one.

Just as an FYI, I have been using XML Notepad 2007, a free download from Microsoft. Works great.

I works great Cory, other than where I messed up the persentages on lvl 2(when we have 7 players). I have it as 87.7% and 30% lol.
I am useing microsoft XML notepad 2007. Is ther a setting for the format it saves in?

No idea. I haven't used that editor.
