Suggestions / Chip control dialog
« on: March 04, 2016, 06:28:42 PM »
Hi Corey,
I was thinking if you could add a dialog for chipc control.
Basically, we input one time only the total figures of the whole stock of chips, then when we color up, we input the remaining count that we have, so we know how many chips have been used in the competition.
If the figure matches the total amount we have in the clock screen, it means that it's all fine.
After that, make a signature dialog where a manager (or supervisor) will imput his nickname and password to confirm everything has been read.
Is it possible?

Suggestions / Printing "player movements" player by player
« on: April 29, 2014, 01:57:48 PM »
Hi Corey,
when I was in Marrakech, I saw a software that was able to print single recepits for every single player moving from a broken table to fill the other ones.
I'm asking you if it's possible to implement it into the TD.
Now what is possible is to print the player movement of all the players..
I'm looking for single recepits
Thank you

Help Me / Re: my load button stopped working
« on: March 09, 2014, 07:11:56 AM »
Hi Corey, my load button stopped working both for loading a tournament and for loading a layout.
I have version 10 of IE on Win8.
I'm using 3.3 latest version of TD
#EDIT
Also the "save as" for tournament saving... and I cannot set the autosave :(

You *could* save the date in the ID field, but it's just a field with no special meaning.  There's nothing in the TD application that would treat it as a date, and thus no way to trigger an event when a year has passed.
Is there any way to have a variable displaying the current date of the day?

I don't understand.
Like there's the timeOfDay variable, is there any variable which is used to display the date of the day?
In this way I could comprare the ID saved from the players' card to this variable

Help Me / Show a message to cash desk about re-register player's own card
« on: February 23, 2014, 05:20:55 AM »
Hi guys
in our club, we use RFID badge cards to register players into the tournament, and the cost per card is about 10,00€
The cost is per year and now I have a big problem about speeding up the re-registration of the same cards.
Normally, I could open the Excel file and check everytime a player comes to play but... it's not possible!
Then... I thought to use the TD as checking program.

What I want to do is to create an event which will trigger if the date of registration has passed one year.
Do you think it's possible?

If so, any hint?
I saw that in formula mode, I can use some values like ID where I could save the date one player register...
any help?
Thank you!

Help Me / Re: Score by permanence at the table
« on: February 13, 2014, 01:46:59 PM »
I don't believe there's any way to adjust a player's buy-in time.
Ok, I thought then a workaround:
we can adjust buyin time according with time shift

ok thank you!
Now, is there a way to edit the bust out time and buyin time?

#EDIT
Done the edit bust out time, is there a way to edit the buyin time?

Help Me / Score by permanence at the table
« on: February 12, 2014, 12:28:27 PM »
Hi guys,
can somebody help me building a score based on permanence time?
It's not for tournaments, I would like to find a way to use the TD for this type of game.
For every minute a player stay at the table, he gains one point.
Thank you!

Suggestions / Re: Multiple tournaments: possible solution?
« on: November 26, 2013, 12:26:47 PM »
So it's both a coding issue and a design issue. That's bad :(
What you mean when saying "data loss" for the Database and data store??
Is there a way to have a little program with all the datastore in it that can be accessed simultaneously by different instances of the TD?

#ADDED
Is it possible to have different IE windows opened for different tab layout (chipcount, seating charts and so on)?

Suggestions / Multiple tournaments: possible solution?
« on: November 26, 2013, 01:54:32 AM »
Hi Corey,
you know I'm always pushing this discussion in roder to try to convince you  ;D
The problema is:
is it possible to run two or multiple tournaments at the same time?
your answer was always "NOT POSSIBLE"

I'm gona show you my idea now:
You can modify the software as you want because you are the DEV, and you said that the clock is HTML based and runs in Internet Explorer.
Since we can open a lot of IE pages, why cant you try to modify the TOurnament Director in order to open multiple clocks in multiple IE pages?
The software will be always one instance open, but with multiple tournaments running and diferent clocks.
COuld this be possible?

Beta Testing / Re: OOPS
« on: November 18, 2013, 01:18:04 PM »
Is it repeatable?  That is, does it always happen when you do some specific thing?  Or does it just randomly occur?

Also, "the program doesn't work anymore"?!  What do you mean?  Most errors that occur in the TD, honestly, can be ignored.  What I mean is that you can usually just continue to use the software, as it doesn't cause the application to crash or corrupt anything.  Usually you just can't use some specific feature.  When you get this error does it cause the application to crash completely?
When I will get the error, I'll show you with an image.
Basicaly, sometimes appears an error that if I close it, then another error window pops uo suddendly after it and it doesn't stop.
In this way I can't use the TD, and IF the error windows disappear after I click the x, I can't use the program anymore (can't click anything)

Good info, Linker_Split.
This is a fundamental difference in the way the software attempts to seat and balance players.  The TD wants to fill up tables as much as possible, so it goes for filling up tables and not spreading out players.  In your example, it would (as I'm sure you know) fill 5 tables with the 50 players.

I did allow for a different balancing algorithm, so this could be done of course, but it's not a simple change.  In implementing something like this, programmers tend to extend specific cases to generalities.  So your specific example of seating 50 players at 10 tables by placing 5 players at each table would be extended to "spread players out to all tables".  This works OK for seating 50 players at 10 tables, but what if in your 100-player tournament only 20 people show up?  You might in reality wait until more players arrive but the software still has to handle this case.  Do you really want to place 2 people at each table?  Maybe you do, maybe you don't, I honestly don't know, but the algorithm needs to know.  Anyway, something I have to think about long and hard.
No, I gave you an example.
Maybe you can implement a pop-up window where I can specify the numbers of tables to open (according to the number of players that I have). So If I have 20 players at the start, I specify 3 tables, the TD will seat 6-7-7 players.

I have EXACTLY the same errors, but, worst thing, during a tournament!
Just imagine to have a 100 players tournament running, then it appears this error suddendly, and the program doesn't work anymore...

Three very important things to implement (IMHO):
- option to decide the number of players to seat in tables (example: I have ten 10-seat tables, so 100 players, but I have only 50 registered, and I'm expecting other 50 players, so I want to seat them in all the tables; is it possible to seat the TD to seat 5 players per table?)

- redraw by chipcount (example: I've updated the player's chipcount, so I want to seat them in a way to balance chips per table; is it possible to have this done by TD?)

- option to show chipcount on the tables tab
