- May have eliminated the “Must run as administrator” problem when installing RunScoreSetup.exe. The problem was
ambiguous wording in the InstallShield documentation.
- At suggestion of Jon Krupa, test to make sure there are not duplicate field names in the
database.
- With help from Steven Keith, improved the Help screens concerning transponder races.
- At request of Andrés Alañón Vázquez make place and division place work for lap races with a
scratch time in the Announce screen.
- Can now use a scratch event subtracted from a laps event in a listing file. Before you could subtract a fixed
time (gun time) but not a different time for each competitor. (You have always been able to subtract the initial time [“lap 1”] from the other laps using the “Net time” feature.) This improvement was inspired by the work for Andrés Alañón Vázquez (Version 7.2.11.24) that allowed this in a “Merge Events” listing.
- J-Chip records are very similar to ChampionChip records so it is hard for
RunScore to tell which system is in use when loading files. There is no problem when the data come through TCP/IP since the user selects the system. In order that RunScore knows that the files being read in are J-chip files, a new control (J-Chip file loading) is added under Tools/Chip Options. Note: There is no problem with J-Chip records being read as ChampionChip records unless it is a race where the clock goes past midnight. J-Chip has taken over the ChampionChip “antenna” field and replaced it with a “day” field which keeps track of how many days you are into a race.
- Working with George Groome and Mark Hendley, made a fix to the External Timer
“Keyboard” device and made a change to the “Barcode” device so that it works with a keypad that terminates a line with either
<LF> or <CR>. Also set the default for the barcode to be bib mode instead of time mode.
- At request of George Groome, reinstitute “not found added” for an individual event. But,
instead of using a checkbox on the Edit Event dialog box, it is set in the entries.ini file. This allows you to turn on “not found bib number added to database” for an individual event. However, this is just for external timers such as the Time Machine. This has no bearing on chip/tag races since at the time a chip/tag record since the particular event is not known at the point a chip/tag record is being parsed. See “not found” in Help for details.
- New command, Select Event, allows you to select on an event. Previously, you could only select
on a field.This allows filtering. For example, you could select out only those who started after the gun. It is hoped that you clever users will find new and exciting things to do with this new command.
- Added support for MyLaps ProChip although this was just the addition of the name to Initialize
External Timers since it already worked by selecting ChampionChip when using the MyLaps Toolkit.
- In the past few days had two instances of team results reporting a team full of blanks ahead of the first place
team. In both cases, it was an event with a start event and, due to errors or people crossing mats, there were negative times. Made changes to catch errors like this.
- At request of Douglas Kirk, allow Message command in team results and, in
particular, allow an initial message that will display at beginning of line.
