- Have changed the operation of Look Up in a *.lst file as requested by Steven Keith. If it calls
for Look Upand a similar Look Up was not specified in entries.ini, RunScore creates a new Look Does, does the look up on the entire database, and then discards it. The reason for this is that the older method required you to start and stop RunScore do to the look up to add in a bunch of late registrations. You would not want to do this during a race.
- Add a new command “Look up Replace” which works just like the Look Up command except it replaces all matching
fields. The Look Up command does not replace, say, a city name if there is already data in the field. This feature is handy if you have a chip/tag race and have a large number of missing finishers. If you have a database for these extra runners, the Look Up Replace command can automatically put them in at the proper place in the database.
- At request of Tony Newton and Steven Keith, have added a new command: Update
All Entries. This is somewhat similar to the Alt-F4 to update but is much faster since it doesn’t
involve all the checking of fields. The main purpose is to process the commands in your entries.ini after making a change.
- With the advent of more and more Chip/Tag systems and the use of multiple split points on races, the old way of
handling the Swap of bib numbers between two people became a problem. With one or two events, it was easy to use the old “@Swap n1 n2” that swapped the bib numbers in two finish positions in the event. But, with multiple split events or triathlons, this had to be repeated across all events to work. It also was overwritten when your refreshed or re-downloaded the finish times and bib numbers. To correct this, you can now swap the information assigned to bib numbers in the Database, just like the athletes did in real life, when they swapped bib numbers. When you open the Browse screen and type in: “@Swap bib#1 bib#2”, RunScore will swap the data assigned for those two bib numbers, so that all the events will now have the correct info listed for the bib numbers and finish positions. Now the bib numbers match the person who actually wore them.
- Add support for RFID chip system via TCP/IP. RFID had been supported earlier but only by loading files produced
by the RFID system.
- Becky Mestas requested for a larger number of names be allowed in the drop-down-search box in
Enter Names. She had a large database with more Smiths than could be displayed. Done.
- Working with Steven Keith, define a new type of event called a “Spill” event. You can put this
beyond the last event for which you have rounds/passes specified to catch extra passes. For example, say you want Round 1 to go into Run and Round 2 to go into Bike. If a person crosses the mats extra times, these times would go ino the spill event.
- The Live Results now runs in full-screen mode.
- A number of improvements have been made to the Announcer Screen. It now displays in full-screen mode so you no
longer see the Windows menu bar. This is particularly nice when used on a large screen or with a projector.
- Working with Andrés Alanon Vazquez, Marek Blazek, and
John Snitko, have added ability for Announce screen to have headers across the top. This only makes sense for monospaced fonts like Courier New and when using the “No Squeeze” option with Announce.
- In addition to the “automatic headers,” you can create your own using the Header/.end of header commands on the Announcer screen.
- The type-ahead in the RunScore Editor is now optional because of a request by Tony
Newton and Steven Keith. You can deselect it in Preferences. The command drop-down is
retained.
- Implemented type-ahead and command drop-down on RSClient. Previously it only worked on RSServer.
