Migrating From Dr. Neau's Tournament Manager, v2
Some assets from version 2 can be brought over into v4.
WARNING: DO NOT SIMPLY COPY
TOURNAMENTS OR LEAGUES INTO YOUR REPOSITORY. THE APPLICATION WILL NOT
UNDERSTAND THE FORMAT. ASSETS NEED TO BE IMPORTED THROUGH THE
APPLICATION.
The only assets that can be directly converted from version 2 are player databases and tournaments.
Importing v2 player databases
Follow the following process to import a v2 player database:
- Note the location of your v2 player database file on the filesystem
- Start v4 if you haven't already started it
- Go to the player database library panel
- Open the player database into which you will import your v2 player database (create a new database if needed)
- In the player database designer, click the "import" button and choose the v2 import option
- Navigate to your v2 database file
- Use the import dialog to verify the data you are importing and commit the import
Importing v2 tournaments
Follow the following process to import v2 tournaments into v4:
- Save your v2 tournaments as individual tournament files (if you have them all saved in a single league file)
- Start v4 if you haven't already started it
- Go to the tournament library panel
- Click the "import" button and choose the v2 import option
- Navigate to your v2 tournament file
- Verify the core attributes and associate the tournament with your preferred player database
- Use the player mapping dialog to map players from the v2 tournament to database players
- The mapper simply looks for first name/last name matches and maps players where it finds a match.
- The dialog displays the player database on the bottom and the
tournament players on the top. You need to ensure that all players on
top are mapped to database players.
- Players marked with a red box in the first column are not yet
mapped. For players that aren't mapped, you can either map them to an existing database player or create a new database player.
- To map a tournament player to a database player, select the two players you want to match up and then click the "Associate" button below the tournament player table.
