Suggestions / Re: Final Table
« on: November 09, 2012, 09:13:09 AM »
Hi Jody,
Not sure if this will work in your situation, but I also use a new table as the "final table". I just run home tournaments so I often borrow tables from friends. I have created accurate imagines of all tables that are used.
I update the image / picture associated with the "final table" by triggering an event called "alter seating chart". This event launches a program called rename table chart.bat. The batch file is real simple and looks like this -
==
rename "RacetrackTenSeat_red.xml" "RacetrackTenSeat_red_OLD.xml"
rename "Final_table_image.xml" "RacetrackTenSeat_red.xml"
td.exe
==
So basically I'm just altering the image (from my regular card room) associated with the last table in the collapse order to become the image of the table (in my "final table' room. )
So I suppose the challenge will be determining when to best trigger the event. In my case it is no problem because I only display the image based seating chart on two occasions -- pre-game and when the final table has been reached. I simply select an arbitrary clock-tick in the first round and trigger it then.
I suspect you may need something a little more complex to meet your needs, but thought I'd share.
Thanks,
Beaker
