Okay - first question - how do I stop the screens from rotating automatically?
Second question - how do I size the screen to fit on top of my task-bar? See screenshot
Made final tweaks to my custom layout and ran beta 3 for a full 6 hour 2-table tournement last night. Went off without a hitch. Only thing I noticed is that the color picker button in the layout cell editors doesn't seem to work?
Getting close to a RC in my view!
Ran a two table event last night and the beta worked with no issues. I did find that I had to recreate a whole lot - I was surprised that most of my settings weren't imported - but that could be my error. Examples include the buy-in profiles, prizes, events, statistics profiles. I've been using the same format for many years so I could be overlooking something - but all is well.
I'll be running another game on the 16th and will report back after that one. I'm sure I will pop in with questions as I tweak the application in preparation for my next game.
Can't seem to be able to do anything with the timer width or height
Love the intro
Can I get the timer to do that
For the Players, Database, and Stats tabs, press the "Preferences" button and then check the box that says View all players on one page.
2. I was able to open the 3.4.3 version of the software but was warned that it could not [load | find] my preferences.
3. Upon looking more deeply at the BETA 3 software, I noticed that on the Game tab, the Controls -> Alerts button was highlighted and that a custom sound associated with my events was could no longer be found.
4. Using BETA 3, when trying to use my custom Suggest Prize file, it could no longer be found and the software defaulted to its inherent Suggest Prize file.
5. Using BETA 3, when trying to Configure a new Custom Prize file, I was only presented with a file browse option. It appears I have to manually configure the xml file to actually configure this prize profile.
Do not see a way to move the game window to screen 2?
The display section under preferences is missing.
On another note... I found on several different tabs that if you sort a column it will sort 1,10,100,101, 102... so it does not like the missing zero's.
This particular example is from the database tab using the ID column. All my players have ID numbers starting at 1 thru 260ish.
Is there a way to view the SQL statement used on the stats tab?
Okay - so I can't figure this one out. How do i lock in the field sizes on the layout? If i remove a field from the center - example Rebuys- the top section gets larger. This is not desired. What am I missing?
Thanks! I will play around with that. Knowing that will help.
I think, as you surmise, this affected the rest of my issues.2. I was able to open the 3.4.3 version of the software but was warned that it could not [load | find] my preferences.Expected. New version will make necessary changes to certain formats, so some saved files won't be compatible with earlier versions. Once you run 3.7.X, your preferences will be updated and 3.4.3 won't understand them. Backup is recommended.
Hmmmm... This may be something you can chalk up to me being older and dumber. When presented with "only" a a browse prompt, I didn't even think to actually click into a file to actually open and edit it. My bad. :-[ I had expected an "edit" prompt, I suppose.5. Using BETA 3, when trying to Configure a new Custom Prize file, I was only presented with a file browse option. It appears I have to manually configure the xml file to actually configure this prize profile.Not sure what you mean here. Of course when you want to use a custom prize file, you'll have to locate it using the file browser. Is it that you are unable to locate your custom prize file?
Possible Bug:
On the players tab I'm using the Hitman Column, it displays the hitman like I want (First Name Last Name) but when I export the file (csv) , the Hitman column only show First Name.
Anything new on the StatusUpdates? Additional tokens allowed? Busted Players names, players still in names??
1. The "Unbalanced Tables" dialog doesn't seem to retain a ticked "Display Player Movement Screen when movement suggestion accepted" value.
2. The "Edit Event" dialog doesn't populate the "Test Conditions" token values, for instance, a running tourney has a "state" value of 0 !
3. What happened to the "Poker Leaderboard" export option!? (I had been using that .xml format to export to other apps)
2. The "Edit Event" dialog doesn't populate the "Test Conditions" token values, for instance, a running tourney has a "state" value of 0 !Doh! Looks like I had a brain fart and forgot to press the "Set from Tournament" button.. sorry :-[Hmm, I'm not seeing this. When I press the Set from Tournament button, all of the variables get proper values. Specifically "state" gets a value of 2 when the tournament is running. Can you double-check?
3. What happened to the "Poker Leaderboard" export option!? (I had been using that .xml format to export to other apps)No worries.. I was exporting to a bunch of Excel (VBA) macros which produced a set of pretty league tables. I've now re-written the offending macros to understand the PokerDIY XML format, however, I think I've noticed that the "PlayerID" token doesn't get written to the resulting XML file.I finally removed it as the Poker Leaderboard has been gone for years. I didn't think that it might be used for some purpose other than what it was designed for. The code is actually still there, it's just no longer listed. What do you export it to?

Fair enough.. :)No worries.. I was exporting to a bunch of Excel (VBA) macros which produced a set of pretty league tables.

In the PokerDIY export the PlayerID node is given an empty value. I don't believe this is a bug. I think it's a requirement, something to do with the difference between the way the TD stores tournament info vs. the way the PokerDIY site stores tournament info, but I can't recall any specifics. Anyway, the ExternalPlayerID holds the player's internal ID (UUID or GUID) if that's what you're looking for.
Custom Screens:
Embedded images which are sized to the same size as the display result in scroll bars being displayed.
i.e.. if you create a custom screen with a "Source" of embedded and insert the following html:
<img src="file://c:\my_dodgy_picture.jpg" width="1920px" height="1080px">
Previous versions would resize the image to the specified size (and not show scroll bars) - Beta3 resizes, but displays scroll bars.
Reducing the image size by the width of the scroll bars (20px I believe) will display the image without scroll bars :), but it no longer fills the display :(.
Events:
I've got an event to play an announcement when the table balance suggestion is accepted:
Trigger: The Clock Ticks
Conditions: isRound and (state=2) and ((time - lastPlayerMoveTime) = 1)
This works fine with previous versions, but fails to trigger with Beta3... the "(time - lastPlayerMoveTime) = 1" is never satisfied
Rather than using this horrible condition, any chance of a specific trigger "A table balance is ACCEPTED" ?
Do not see a way to move the game window to screen 2?
The display section under preferences is missing.
Close the Settings window. Press F11 to exit full-screen mode (or right-click and select "Exit full screen, or move the mouse to the top of the screen and press the big X button). Then drag the window to the appropriate display. Then press F11 to go back to full screen.
The Display Management section was created because the application was previously unable to toggle between window mode and full screen mode with restarting.
Off topic slightly. Do you have a list of feature enhancements for version 3.7? I am currently running version 3.4.3. We are in the middle of a season so I don't want to jump to the 3.7 beta in the middle, unless there is a big reason to do so. Our season is over in June and I will update then.
Excited to see new features!!
Love the product.
Hi Corey,
Within the TABLE SECTION, I lock some players to a seat location because of disability issues.
When I click on the COMPRESS SEATING button, not only are normal players moved but my locked in players are moved as well.
I do not recall this happening in previous versions.
Regards,

Hey Corey,
I'm playing with status updates using JSON and everything looks good except for 2 of the players points did not round to 2 decimal places. Don't know if this is a bug or not?
I'm still working on inserting some java to convert the BustOut Time to 12hr format, but other than that I'm pretty happy.
Take a look at my status page here: seitz333.com/LiveTourney/TournamentStatus.html (http://seitz333.com/LiveTourney/TournamentStatus.html)
Nice! I love seeing stuff like this.
FYI, you're getting raw data in the Status Updates, so the preference "Points precision" doesn't apply. You'll need to modify it yourself. For a precision of 2, just multiple the value by 100, round it off, then divide it by 100.
Hi Corey,
Well done once again on all your hard work.
Think I have found an issue, on startup I can't get passed initialising, I believe because I don't have a tournament default specified (I keep it blank) once I wen't back to 3.4.3 and specified a tournament 3.7b3 loaded no problem.
Stu
another minor bug (I think) using the abstract layout as the example, the final table seating chart token won't align the token anywhere bar left of cell.
Also Font Colour picker not functioning when editing layout cells.
Stu
I assume you got an error and either the application exited or just stopped during the initialisation phase and didn't continue.
