I know this has been requested before, and your response was along the lines of "plenty of other software does it better" but Statsgenie is a buggy mess, homepokertour doesn't seem to exist, and I'm not aware of any others. It may not have been worth looking at before, but it might be now.

It's a big ask I realise, but it would make TD absolutely the best poker software out there, period. The player database already exists. The Tournament stats already exist. What's missing, I know, is some form of continuous, persistent tournament tracking, but if that could be nailed, this software would have literally everything anybody could need, right out of the box.

Eh it doesn't cost anything to dream :P

For example, pre-tourney I have a couple of custom screens for chip breakdowns, prize pool etc. Whilst the game is in countdown, it would be cool if the mini-clock appeared on those screens as well as the standard built in ones (Player Rankings, Schedule, Seating List etc).

This isn't a biggie by any means - at the moment I get by by having countdown clock/start time cells and token on each of my screens, so if it isn't just something I've missed, don't worry about it.

Help Me / buyinChips token shows 0 despite the profile saying 5000
« on: March 09, 2023, 09:39:40 AM »
Hi.   I use the buyinChips token within the Tournament Info cell, but it always returns 0 despite me entering a valid profile. To test it's validity, I buy in several players using that profile, and a) the players page shows the correct amount of chips and b) the total stacks token (think it's just called "Stacks" or "stack" also shows the right amount).   Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong?

Here's what it looks like:

<buyin> Buy-in, <rebuyinfo>, <addoninfo>, <bigBlind round="3"> Big Blinds, <buyinChips profileName="100 BB £15 5k chips"> chips

If I remove the profile stipulation, it shows the default profile amount, so it's not like it's completely off the mark...

Help Me / Can the inlinerankings token be updated?
« on: February 28, 2023, 10:46:36 AM »
On my post-game screen, I use the PRIZES token to show who's cashed, but beneath that - on a single separate line and in a smaller font - I'd like to show the rest of the players with their ordinal positions "3rd Danny    4th John" etc etc

If the INLINERANKINGS token had a MAXWINNINGS field, that would be easy - I could set MAXWINNINGS to 0 and just show the rank and the player - so is there another way of doing this?   The "best" workaround I can think of depends on setting the STARTAT value to whatever rank bubbles (in this case 3, but of course I don't know that until the game starts (So I'd potentially have to change this every game).

Help Me / Disconnected versions on different hard drives
« on: February 24, 2023, 09:13:39 AM »
Hi.  I've used TD for years now, and what's happened is that when a Hard Drive has died, I've just installed on a new one and kept the old one just for data.  As a result, I now have two or more separate locations containing tournament data.

What's the best way to merge them together? I've tried simply copying the .tdt files from one to another so they're all in one place but that doesn't work - should I copy *all* folders and files?

Help Me / Changing tourney info after the fact
« on: October 29, 2022, 03:50:23 AM »
Hi.  Firstly a massive thanks to Corey for his continued support.   Last night I ran a couple of games but afterwards realised I had failed to end the first game correctly. Like an idiot I saved over it with what I thought was correct, but I messed up the timings of who went out when.  Is there a way to correct this in a file somewhere? I'm thinking specifically of the "stats" tab.

OK so I've found the file, so I guess I just need a pointer re the time formatting lol...

Help Me / Timer token - how can I make it semi-transparent?
« on: October 25, 2022, 05:03:28 AM »
This is the first time in a couple of years that I've used TD (Covid getting in the way of home games lol).  I'm now on the latest version but I find that my layouts aren't working as they used to - I had a piechart showing the remaining time counting down, but this was semi-transparent/almost in the background, with the actual MM:SS countdown in front. To see what I mean, if you search "pie" you'll find a previous post of mine with screenshots of how it *should* look.

Now however the piechart is in *front* of the time counting down, obscuring it, and I can't figure out a way to send it to the back.

What am I doing wrong folks?

EDIT:  I *think* it used to be tied to the opacity setting, but this doesn't appear to have any effect now...

Suggestions / Statistics Profiles
« on: June 01, 2018, 04:48:49 AM »
We can currently select tourney stat profile based on the folder, the league, the members and a date range (after X, before Y).

I would find it really useful to be able to select on a rolling basis (i.e. only select tourneys in the last year, for example).

Any chance of this, or can this be done already with a bit of jiggery-pokery?

Help Me / Tournament Info cell within Layout tab
« on: May 28, 2018, 02:37:01 PM »
Hi. 

I run a rebuy game with a £15 buy in and a £5 bounty. The bounty isn't optional, and for simplicity's sake in my emails etc I say "£20 buy in includes a £5 bounty."

Anyone who rebuys also gets another bounty.

My layout includes the "tournament info" cell, but of course the buy in info (and the rebuy info) shows as £15, not the £20 people are actually charged.
 
Is there any way to change the "tournament info" cell to show the total cost (i.e. buy-in plus bounty)?

NB I *could* just have a £20 buy-in with a zero bounty cost but that messes up prizes and bounty winnings.

I *could* also simply create a 'rule" with the same info, but of course this won't change automatically if I change the buy-in/rebuy criteria.

Help Me / Doh! licence details required
« on: May 23, 2018, 02:58:18 PM »
Hi. I am transitioning from one PC to another - can you email me my license key as I can't find the thing anywhere.

Need it by tomorrow night, so no rush :P

Help Me / Auto-addon at a certain stage?
« on: May 06, 2018, 07:03:59 AM »
Context: this is just why I want TD to do what I want it to do. You can skip right to "How do I?" bit if you're busy :P

If a player busts out in the first six rounds of my single table 10K tourneys, they automatically get a free 10K rebuy.  That's to stop people busting out and their evening coming to an end too early in the evening, without it costing them more money

If they survive to round seven without busting out at all, they automatically get a free 10K add-on.   

NB players are not entitled to the free rebuy AND the free add-on.

HOW DO I?
So how do I set up TD so that everyone who hasn't rebought gets a free add-on at level seven? I have set up the add-on profile so everyone can add on once only, and rebuy once only (both for 10K chips, both free) but my issues are:

1. I don't know how to set up TD so that you can't add-on if you've rebought
2. I don't know how to set up TD so that all remaining players who haven't busted out at once get an automatic add-on at level seven.

DISCLAIMER:
I understand that what I want to do is a little left field, and probably not what TD could reasonably be expected to do. I can of course just enter the add-ons manually at level 7, but if it could do it all by itself that would give me more time to play poker :P

Help Me / Stats

Is it possible to have a stat for average finishing position?  Is there a way that we can make our own, or is this a "hidden" functionality?

Help Me / Adding bounties after the fact
« on: August 13, 2017, 11:07:41 AM »
Hi.  I was all set up to play last week. Prizes etc just top three get paid, no rebuys etc.

As the game started (i.e. after everyone had bought in) someone suggest we play with an additional £5 bounty for each person.  Everyone agreed.  I didn't change the software as everyone else wanted to get on with the action.

So... Now the game is over.  I've added bounties for all the players into the Prizes tab, but I'm not sure how to get the state to reflect the additional money paid for the bounties (i.e. right now, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd places are lower than they should be because the TD software still thinks the original £20 buy in included the £5 bounty (whereas I need it to be £20 plus a £5 bounty). I've tried changing the main GAME screen so bounties is ticked, together with the £5 cost, but it's not reflected in the prizes.

Suggestions / Rounds Tab
« on: May 30, 2017, 01:22:16 PM »
It would be handy to have a "cumulative time" column so that it's easy to see what effect changing the round times have on total tournament time, easier to gauge when breaks would be best placed etc

Help Me / A TDbutton to "esc" to the settings screen?
« on: May 17, 2017, 03:06:36 PM »
Hi.  I'm looking at using a wireless mouse only, no keyboard (I'll use the mouse on the poker table so I don't have to get up).

Is there any way I can add a button that fulfils a specific button function {such as each}?  I don't seem to be able to get the Screen or screenbyname tokens to work with the main settings screen...
