7.2.10.0 (2011.01.12)

RunScore Team
  • At request of Steven Keith, add new system variable %race path%. This can be used in the System Command to copy files from the race directory.
  • At request of Steven Keith, provide a way to execute a listing (*.lst) file on startup of a race. This is done by adding a parameter in the Properties/Target section of the RSServer or RSClient icon. The parameter is /startup=filename. In the example below, RSServer starts up the sample race and then starts the announcer.

c:\runscore\rsserver.exe sampleraces\sample\entries /startup=announce.lst

or

c:\runscore\client\rsclient.exe /startup=announce.lst

  • You can also specify the IP Address and the port on the command line of RSClient. The parameters are /address=ipaddress and /port=number. For example:

c:\runscore\client\rsclient.exe /startup=announce.lst /address=MyDesktop /port=33000

  • While we were at it, we decided to allow you to set the Login name for RSClient to log into RSServer. If you are not using login names, don’t worry about this feature. You can only use this feature if you are requiring a login name but not requiring a password. The parameter is /login=login_name. For example:

c:\runscore\client\rsclient.exe /startup=announce.lst /address=MyDesktop /port=33000 /login=Announcer

  • At request of Craig Wilson, allow team members beyond the number scoring to advance. This is controlled by setting a negative number for Advance Maximum control
  • You have always been able to specify a “scratch” event in RunScore by making the event name start with the letters “STA” or “SCR”. Now there is a third way. Just specify the event to be a “Start” event in “Misc/Edit list of events”. When a scratch event’s time is subtracted from another event’s time and there is not time for the scratch time, a time of zero is used. On the other hand, if it is not a scratch event, for example it might be the BIKE event in a triathlon, then when the BIKE time is subtracted from the next split and there is no BIKE time, the resulting split is a blank. That allows you to easily find someone who missed a split point.
  • New team feature: Team Spread: Prints out, when using Team Format Columns, the spread in time between the first finisher and last scoring finisher on each team.
  • New team command: Team Format Brief: Implemented at request of Pat Leone. With Team Format Brief, only the team place, team name, and team score are printed.
  • At Steven Keith’s request, add “Starts with” (or “SW”) command to entries.ini. It had been added to *.lst processing some months ago.
  • Fixed a problem in entries.ini where you needed to put in dummy data in the [data] area even if none was required.
