Suggestions / Re: Prize breakdown problem I ran into the other night.
« on: April 01, 2006, 01:19:00 AM »
A point that MP made at first, but might not have been clear enough.  If you did nothing else to your prizes except adding the 7th place $75 fixed prize in your example you would have gotten:

name,Recipient,Award,Amount,Points,Awarded To
1st Place,Rank 1,40.00%,$468.00 ,
2nd Place,Rank 2,23.00%,$269.00 ,
3rd Place,Rank 3,13.00%,$152.00 ,
4th Place,Rank 4,10.00%,$118.00 ,
5th Place,Rank 5,8.00%,$94.00 ,
6th Place,Rank 6,6.00%,$70.00 ,
7th Place,Rank 7, $75,$75

Which adds up to $1246  (I assumed rounding to nearest dollar on each prize)

So you just needed to add the right value of 7th place prize, and the computer would have done the rest for you without you changing anything.  (It's a good feature once I figured out how it worked)

Just a suggestion for everyone not liking the nicknames column,  Just put the player's real name in there.

You probably also need to be running TD in a window for what you are trying to do,  I believe it forces itself to the primary monitor for full screen.  You should also set up your "monitors" to take 2 positions on a desktop that is slightly larger than each display will hold.  Then once you get everything positioned right, the outer frame of the window still won't appear even thought you aren't in full screen mode.

This is what I get:

Cannot assign to '[number]' (pageLayout: 3631)

And when I click OK on that, this comes up:

Object doesn't support this property or method (pageLayout: 1)
 at _showDialog(Boolean, String, Array, String, Function, Number, Number, null)
 at showDialog(String, Array, String, Function, Number, Number)
 at cellPropertiesDialog(Number)

it happens when I set tables = 2 on conditions. 

Since my original post, I have been experimenting:  If I avoid using the = sign, and do everything by > and <, I can get it to work, (sort of) 
I still have to either wait til another round starts, or get to my keyboard and press F2 to make the change take effect, and for what I am using it for it dramatically changes the size of the cell if it's on the wrong setting, which messes up the rest of the screen.

Is there a way to make this refresh by itself, or put a button on the screen for it?

By any large field, I mean any cell of any size that you want to display a large amount of data in.

My code for scrolling prizes cell:

<u>Prizes</u><br><marquee direction=up scrollamount=1 width=320 height=235><center><prizes orient="vertical" showAmounts="true" roundOff="true" showPoints="false" roundOffPoints="false" showRecipients="false"></center></marquee>

Note:  If you want to avoid the large blank area repeating on your display all the time, you ans apply multiple instances of the prizes tag in your marquee.  (If you put it in 5 times, then it rolls without spacing 5 times between each blank screen)
Also remember to set the max in the prizes peoperties to as high as your total number of prizes.


1 example of my code for seating chart display:

<marquee width=220 behavior=alternate scrollamount=1><seatingchart format="diagram" showEmptyTables="false" columns="2" showChipCounts="false"></marquee>

I have several of these customized for the different number of players that would represent different numbers of tables.  I couldn't get the conditional display based on number of tables to work, so when it transitions down in tables, the display looks off for a few seconds, then it stabilizes.  You shouldn't have any problem if you just use this and leave it on the one setting.

Help Me / Re: Credit Add-on before tournament starts
« on: March 27, 2006, 11:47:50 AM »
I didn't think that was what that section was for, but it tried it, and it worked.  You woudn't be able to assign an add-on when you actually buy-in the player, but you can assign them an add-on from the tournament screen before you start the clock if you've got it set that way.

An alternate way of trying this, is to do your buy-ins in excel or some other spreadsheet program, then import them all at once.  In the old version, you could put something in the add-ons column this way.

Sorry bout the mistake in mine, I dropped a term.

The title says it all.  I can't get the system to work using number of tables as a condition for display proprerties.  Every time I set it up and click OK, the next time I try to either edit the same field, or show the layout page, I get an error.  I am using number of players instead for now, but it's a bit less clean a transition than working it by tables would be.

Solved this one myself finally, but I thought I'd put the word out in case anyone else has the same issue with wanting more data in a field than will fit.
Using the <marquee> tag in the html part of any large field opens a bunch of scrolling options.  I do vertical scrolling of my prizes field and seating chart right on the TD display.  It's not perfect, but it's a good way to display more information than the tournament page real estate you want to invest.

The Max field is still there, but it used to (old version) show the remaining lines of the field like an automatic banner.  I had hoped I could insert an html tag or something to get this function back.  I am also interested in getting that field and a field for the seating diagram to scroll, which would serve the same purpose.

The old version of TD would display a window flashing between the first few prizes and the last few if there were more prizes than the max for display.  This was the default.  Is there any way to make 2.0 do the same thing?  It just never displays the last couple of prizes in my list, and I can't find an option for it.

Thanks,

This formula should work for the original requested points table:
(n*(Max(r-2,0)+Max(r-4,0)+Max(r-7,0))
This would be n*(0+0+0) or 0 for 7th or greater place
n*(0+0+1) or n for 6th,
n*(0+0+2) or 2n for 5th
n*(0+0+3) or 3n for 4th
n*(0+1+4) or 5n for 3rd
n*(0+2+5) or 7n for 2nd
and n*(1+3+6) or 10n for 1st

You can do it the hard way, and put the background as the full cell size image in the html for your cell and html in the text and tokens you want to overlay the pictures.  You wouldn't want to autosize the screen afterward though.

I've done display to a big screen by Svideo and by RCA (the standard yellow VCR connector) output.  It is as simple as getting a video card that supports it, and you shouldn't see ghosting with anything less than about 30 feet of RCA cable.

There appears to be some issue with the "apply" button on column or row properties.  I just click "OK" instead whenever I make a change to these, and the settings seem to take just fine.
