League Updater
« on: December 21, 2009, 02:47:02 pm »
Sadly, Thran, it's Windows-only.

Usage:
-Start LotRLeague.exe. It will run in your system tray. To quit, right-click the icon.
-Open the League post up for editing.
-Press CTRL-ALT-L (L for League) to have it grab the data.

Features:
-Names sorted alphabetically for easy selection.
-Option to add a new player.
-Option to put in multiple results before pasting.
-Automatically adjusts both points and number of games.
-Final results sorted by points.

The rest is self-explanatory, I think. Just don't switch to another window while you are working on results or your result may be pasted in the wrong spot.

Please test in the White Council test table a BUNCH before actual use!
I whipped it up in a few hours and didn't bug test too much. Seems to work. :p

Wouldn't it be a good idea to remove the draw column? It just seems to take up space (lots of 0's...) and I don't think anyone is really going to report draws. How CAN LotR draw, anyway? If time is out, perhaps, and the players declare undecided? Anyway, if so, let me know so I can edit the code.

Also, TJ, let me know if the window displays oddly (font sizes, buttons, etc). Looks fine for me with stock Windows XP, but it may be different for Vista, Win7, etc.

It's attached to the post. XD

EDIT: Apparently it's not showing up. Try this:

Bug time

When I added the latest 3 results, no matter how I altered the table (manually) the table got spaced out so it took up pages and pages...

Hi mr. Rabbit

My parents computer doesnt seem to accept the League updater. The use Vista, the window opens fine but there are no command buttons, so I can select winner and loser, but nothing else.

Perhaps it is related to their theme? I just tried it in W7 and it looks fine...

If they have some setting like "extra large buttons" or "extra large fonts" it could mess up the spacing... :-k

When I use it, I select a winner, then a loser, hit Enter and it pastes the new table to my CB and closes the updater.

It works, but differently to before :-?
