OE12 and OEScore updates

This time I spent much efforts into improvements of the handling of teams in OE12. Now you have two new event options for teams: Teams: Everybody has to punch and max. difference. So you can define that every team mate must carry his own chip and he must punch the whole course himself. Optionally you can define the maximum punch difference, within all team mates must have punched at the same control. F.ex. the Czechian team championships are processed in this way. There is also a new report called Team punches which lists all violations against the rule which is defined by these settings.
For the team event types, I added a new report layout called Teams Single line in all reports where it looks useful. This will give a better overview in start list and result reports with up to 3 members per team.
The import of team entries has been improved. Normally the names of the team mates are entered shortly before the competition. Now you can download them from the entry portal and import just the names and new team mates if they appear.
One other main topic was that several users complained about a slow download of the chips in the finish. Actually not the download through the master station but the calculation of the split time sheet in extended format was the bottleneck. In most cases the reason were wrong network settings which slowed down the performance. Nevertheless I was able to optimize the code for an up to 45% better performance on slow computers.
There are also some other small but helpful improvements. As usual, all known bugs have been fixed.

OEScore V.12.1 has been updated accordingly. Especially the new Team Single line report layouts have been added there also.

 

OE12 and OEScore will detect this update automatically. You can also use the Check for updates function in all applications to download the new setup. Of course you could also click on the Downloads button to get it.
As usual, the download works as trial version as long as you don’t have a valid V12 license. Updates or new licenses can be ordered from the author directly.

Updates of OE12, OS12 and OEScore

A number of important improvements have been implemented in OE12.
The highlight is the new function Send online punches to the web result portal OResults.eu. It sends the punches from radio controls online in real time to OResults.eu. This is a great step to reduce the workload both on the local LAN and the OResults.eu server. This function can transfer the radio punches from the Online monitor – Server and the times from the Time taking function. This new feature will be used together with OResults.eu at the nextcoming IOF championships: EYOC in Poland, JWOC in Czechia and EOC in Hungary. They will also profit from the updated Speaker-Prewarning function, which distinguishes between official and inoffiicial times now, like this is the case with the Speaker support window. Also, the editing of additional chips (which must be used at IOF championships) has become safer to avoid unexpected consequences.
The OE12 Standard license allows courses up to 64 controls and chips with up to 64 punches only. Sometimes this lead to problems with SportIdent SIAC chips with low battery, which save multiple copies of each punch. The handling of this phenomen has been improved a lot especially when downloading such a chip. There will be clear hints issued for the competitor and the organiser.

OS12 and OEScore V.12.1 have been updated accordingly.

OEScore Update

At a Rogaining competition, normally a team is punished by not earning the points if its members have punched outside the maximum punch time difference. Now you can define an optional additional penalty for this case which will be subtracted from the overall points. This covers a new rule of FEDO (Spanish orienteering federation) for Rogaining competitions.
There is a new report under Competition day: Team punches. This report lists all team punches which exceeded the maximum punch time difference. Also some bugs have been fixed.
OEScore will detect this update automatically. You can also use the Check for updates function in OEScore to download the new setup. Of course you could also click on the Downloads button to get it. As usual, the download works as trial version as long as you don’t have a valid OEScore V12 license. Updates or new licenses can be ordered through the Online shop or from the author directly.

Updates of OE12, OS12, OEScore and OEHeats

This time many small but important functional user wishes for OE12 have been implemented. Many of them are basic features which are valid for all main applications.
Among others, there are improvements in working with Voided legs, the XML exports of teams, an extended space for the comment fields in Chip evaluation, new user definable competitor classifiers, a maximum time, start list draw and the automatic uploads to web services.
As usual, a number of small bugs have been fixed also.
This is a short summary of a long list which you can read in the release notes after you installed the update.

OS12, OEScore V.12.1 and OEHeats V.12.1 have been updated accordingly.
