When you click in the Criteria column the Selection Criteria boxes appear as shown above.
- You can select 3 conditions for the prize. Looking at the example above for the Techno 7,8 Girl prize:-
- The First Box is automatically populated with the Columns used in Sailwave
- Once you select a value the Second box is populated with the Valid values you can select
- Here we have select 2 prizes for Techno 7.8 Girls where the Division = T7.8 and Helmsex = F
- If you rename columns in sailwave the renamed values will appear in the Dropdown boxes but the true name will appear in the grid. This allows the same prize definition to be used when columns are renamed for different events
- In the rare occassion when more than 3 criteria are needed then it is recommended that you use a column in Sailwave to hold the conditions. This column can be populated within Sailwave using the Tool set Competitor fields. This is also safer as it allows you to check which competitors are affected
- To enable easier editing of the Grid - Right click on the boxes at the left of the grid and you can Copy, Paste, Insert or Delete Rows of the grid
When you have defined the prizes Click Publish and this will
- Save the prize definitions to a file in the same directory as the blw file with the same name but a .prz extention
- The Prizes are calculated and displayed in the Default Browser - similar to publishing results in Sailwave.
- The Same Style as was used by Sailwave for the results is used unless the checkbox to use the Blue blocks is checked
- A file Prizes.htm is stored in the same directory as the blw file.
- If the Combine prizes for the same competitor is checked - Then when a prize is displayed any other prizes that this competitor has won are displayed immediately following.
- The Columns display are semi intelligent in that it depends upon which ones are used in Sailwave. e.g. above the Nationality is not used but if it had been used in Sailwave then the Column would have been displayed
- You can use the Helm or Crew fields or both.
Installation
You can download the Program from
Download
V1.4
Updated to work with new versions of Sailwave 2.5 onwards.
V1.3
Download the SWPrize.zip file and extract the file SWPrize.exe to the location of your choice. It's all self contained in a single file.
V1.2
At this moment you have 2 choices:-
- Download and run the SWAddon program this will setup all the shortcuts etc but only install SWPrize 1.1 you can then download and overwrite the SWPrize.exe with version 1.2. Once I have had some feedback that everyone is happy with 1.2 then I will update the installer to use V1.2
- If you want to manually install SWPrize then the program consists of a single file SWPrize.exe. Download and extract it to a location on the same drive as Sailwave is installed. I suggest you put them in the "C:\Program Files\Sailwave directory". You may also want to create a short-cut to the SWPrize file to make it easy to run.
Pre V1.2
The program consists of two files SWPrize.exe MLG.DLL
Download and extract them to a location on the same drive as Sailwave is installed. I suggest you put them in the "C:\Program Files\Sailwave directory"
You may also want to create a shortcut to the SWPrize file to make it easy to run.
Then just double click the exe or your shortcut.
