So i have been absent from this whole shooting match for a while and i just started playing with the new software. All of the new functionality is blowing my mind, however, i have been running a weird version of opensprints these last six months up here in Vancouver and have fallen in love with the clock face race display, as well as auto sizing.

Is this too much to ask? you can say that it is, since i really don't know how hard it would be:) i'm running evan's (i think) beta version of shoes 3 and i feel like the version of the software i have is the only one that had a working clock face display.

once more, all of the new functions make me giddy.

oh and i can't seem to be able to get racers to move from one color to the other, even though there seems to be a button for it. Am i missing something?

It won't go full screen automatically, but everything resizes a lot more easily these days, so I would recommend following this guide to getting window that takes up your whole screen. That version of shoes I had with fullscreen got the axe and another version has come out which is much better in a lot of ways, but lacks automatic fullscreen.

As for the clock interface, it was definitely a victim of all the tumultuous changes that brought us better persistence, stats posting, graphic design, one-screen, etc. I know the folks in Lithuania have made a clock interface, but I haven't successfully managed to get the code from them to bring it into the mainstream. I'll ask again, if I can get some contributed code, we could have it a lot faster and better than if I do it alone.

Unfortunately packaging and firmware have been much higher priorities at the moment, but hopefully i can fit in the clock interface.

really? Could you maybe check your error console with alt-/ and tell me what you see ? i was using this feature just this afternoon (the "swap" button)

The batch of 42B races got Ryan hooked on running things with the tournament and organization functions of the software which I never bothered to work into the Emerald clock interface, so so sadly it's been dead in the water since the westside invite / metal sprints. My final incarnation was an improvement on the last youtube vid I posted though.

Maybe I'll dig into the new software one of these days and try to create something a little more scalable and compliant to share.

I just added the clock face to Goldsprints FX last night. I will finish it up this weekend. Video can be seen here http://www.goldsprintsfx.org/2010/01/22/goldsprints-fx-first-look-clock-race-display/

Hi, here you can download our opensprints edition with clock interface.

i've played around with egisat's version and i like it. I mean, it is the clockface i have been waiting for. not to be that guy, but is there any chance you can put up an English version?

Or i can just shut up and dig through the code, but i'm kind of pushing my skills as it is.

New feature added based on some feedback from Pete at COG Magazine. Now you can Fully skin the clock face. Check out the video here. http://www.goldsprintsfx.org/2010/02/01/goldsprints-fx-full-clock-face-skinning/
