Question Download Beta: #7

[Darkwaltz4]

Kept here will be the revision log for each beta version. You can find the actual zip to download in your members area.
The date on the members area download may not be updated, but just keep up with the latest posts here and download accordingly.

This work is to be treated as any license would. It is non-transferable and non-distributable. Do not leak.

New Beta #1

Initial Install, upgrade from regular v1.3.0

Contains the admin management of tournaments (except deletion, and winner number is missing)
As well as the tournament playing experience proper.

**The main forum-display of active tournaments is coming soon. That means for right now, you will have to use the admincp to invite and confirm your own specific groups of players, as well as distribute to them the Play link. Sorry for the inconvenience, but at least isolates who is affected should there be problems **

Also, please poke around and make sure everything else seems to be functioning normally. Some things were switched around internally in terms of implementation, and want to make sure I didn't also accidentally break them.

New Beta #2 (download from member area, ignore any release dates)

Couple minor fixes mostly.

- jackpots and scores should obey the "record tournament match" setting (import the jackpot addon included in the beta copy if you were using it)
- current match highlighting fixed, added a vs. between names (if this looks bad, let me know)
- mochi scores can now load the tournament/scores tab when a score is submitted, without reloading the game (cant do this for v2 games though)
- you can now mass and individually delete tournaments. if you want a quick way to reset the tournaments (such as if match alerts get out of whack [which you should post about]) then run these: http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f179/tournament-deletion-7988/#post45361
- fixed number of wins winner has displayed in admincp
- fixed user links on a pending tournament
- adjusted wording for group tournaments
- manage tournaments includes the current and anticipated number of matches
- made user selection more random for group pairing
- made dual-forfeit matches randomly pick who advances

Also, it seems the file that handled global scores was deleted from dbtech in february... so theres been no new global scores accepted between then and yesterday. This has since been restored... but looks like the rate of receipt has dropped drastically :/ im going to build in a function to manually mass-upload existing scores to dbtech as a way to rectify the data loss, as well for lite->pro upgrades, off->on participation setting, and dbtech outages.

New Beta #3 (download from member area, ignore any release dates)

Thanks for waiting.

The mysterious page that the tournament alerts try to link you to is now in place.
This lists your current invites/active tournaments, and those that are completed for you to review who won.
It also lists the tournaments that you arent part of, with the same info, for you to join/quit.
Top champions and participants are also ranked, with some stats for yourself (and anyone you click on).

- fixed the notifications (please see link above to reset your tournaments, matches, and alerts or this may not be accurate from previously)
- fixed a function typo when editing a game

lots lots more still to come

Thanks for waiting.

-added pms sent when invited via admincp or challenge to a tournament
-on scoring games where allowed and outside of a tournament, there is a new Challenge tab, for entering a username to start a 2-person 1-round tournament (will soon list tournaments for that game as well). This will set the same invitations, notifications, etc.
-Setting to disallow "practicing" (that is, you cant play a game outside of a tournament, if you belong to a pending/active tournament for that game - and get redirected to it instead).
-alert previous high score champion if a guest beats their high score (previously only did that if new champion was a member)
-tournament winner will post a thread and/or post to the same place as game high scores
-reminder alerts sent when X number of hours left before auto forfeit (please test this!)
