Hmm....can't seem to load that layout file.

What change did you make to empty cell 3?  I will just make the change.

I found that if I delete the other two screens listed and set the screen set default to the main page that removes 90% of my issues.

Now I just have a black box in the very middle on even rounds I can't get rid of.

_4.tlo is the original I was having issues with
_6.tlo is the one I removed all screens but the main

Thanks Magic...you rock!

No go...I see where the odd round setup is.  Even if I setup the odd round to be the same, it doesn't work.

Oddly enough, some of my elements (buttons, rounds, and prizes) stay in the even rounds, everything else is removed.

I just tested on a new machine and the layout I posted on page one exhibits this display.  Any way I could talk you into opening the TLO and seeing if I'm missing something silly?

Thanks a bunch in advance!

Thanks for the reply.  Sorry to be dense, I'm still new to this software...how do I "copy what i have for each cell for even rounds to odd rounds"?

I ran my first tourney a month or so ago and every other round I would get a big black box/void covering most of the screen.  It only affected odd number rounds.  Went back to normal for even number rounds. Any ideas on what this would be?  I have another tourney tomorrow and I need to fix this.

I fixed the one on the left.  Instead of the Microsoft Transform, I used IE's "writing-mode" call.

writing-mode: xx-yy;

xx-yy
lr-tb – This is the default value, left to right, top to bottom
rl-tb – This flows the text from right to left, top to bottom
tb-rl – Flows the text vertically from top to bottom, right to left (I used this one for the text on the left.  Renders True Type font great)
bt-rl – bottom to top, right to left

IE8+
ms-writing-mode: xx-yy;

tb-lr – Text flows top to bottom, left to right
bt-lr – Bottom to top, left to right
lr-bt – Left to right, bottom to top
rl-bt – Right to left, bottom to top

Now I just need to find a solution for the upside down text

Ok, I updated the layout using your suggested method.  All is well, except one thing.  Do you know why the font aliasing is messed up when using the ImageTransform call?  I noticed for the bottom clock when using rotation=0 the font goes blurry.  Removing the ImageTransform clears up the font.  Any suggestions or is this as good as it's getting?   Thanks again!

Notice the top, bottom, and left text are identical

P.S.  I live in San Diego but was in Zurich, Switzerland last month for work.  A buddy and I traveled to a casino in Baden, Switzerland to play in a poker tournament where, lo and behold, they used Tournament Director on wall mounted TVs to keep track of their two tournaments and ~12 tables in play.  Cool stuff

Great, thanks again Cory! 

I'll play around with this tonight.  Like you said, should give me enough to figure it out!

Great customer service!

Thanks Cory.

No matter how I align the left column clock, it won't push down any more.  I think its because its running into the bottom row, but I'm not sure how to fix that without screwing up the bottom row.

That's pretty much my major issue.  I think I can add another column within the boxes for additional data and continue to play with alignment...I've been just using nbsp; and <BR> statements to adjust items...probably not the most ideal and a lot of trial and error.

I attached the .tlo file to the original post.  That is the layout file you're referring to right?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Everyone, I'm a new member and just purchased Tournament Director.

I built a new table a couple of months ago and am just getting around to customizing a layout to suit my needs.

The table has 2 19" flush-mounted LCDs which will be running TD in mirror mode so that everyone sitting at the table can see the information they need to without craning their neck to the projector somewhere.

Pictures are here:

I used AMCQ10's layout as a start (http://www.thetournamentdirector.net/forums/index.php?topic=755.0) and started hacking from there (I use hack because I'm not 100% sure how to do this the right way)

Lots of trial and error.  Resolution is 1280x1024.

I attached the graphic I used as my background and the TD export of where I am currently at.

On Table 2 - http://nlowell.smugmug.com/Computers/TD-Layout/photo-2/1083593356_WCJuP-XL.jpg

Here is what I am hoping to get help with:

• The left clock won't go down far enough because of the layout
• The text isn't quite right in the boxes
• I'd like to change the text to be two columns so that I can add some other information like "Average Chips"

Beyond that, I was hoping for some forum feedback since this is new for me.  What other information could be useful in that box?  Any feedback on the font?  I want something blocky and high tech looking but Stencil was all I found.

Thanks for any help!  My first game with the new table is this weekend and I want it to look good
