Download the program package from author's website. -2. Unpack it to the desired directory. -3. Configure appropriate database connection. -4. Run `butler.exe` in application directory. - -Program invocation ------------------- - -Program, in any order, accepts command line arguments which relate to actions conducted by the application: - - * `calculate` calculates normalized butler and writes it in the event database - * `generate` compiles HTML pages with all results present in the normalized butler database - * `send` transmits the pages to the FTP server via Goniec (if `generate` action is selected) - -Invoking the application without any of the above arguments is equivalent to providing all of them (`calculate`, `generate` and `send`). - -Additionally, the program by default waits for user input after finishing - this may be turned off, by providing `nowait` argument. - -Configuration files -------------------- - -The application relies on five configuration files, JSON-formatted, placed in the `config` subdirectory. - -`db.json` - -Defines event database connection parameters: - - * `user` - DB username - * `pass` - DB password - * `db` - event database name - * `host` - DB server location - -`butler.json` - -Defines butler calculation parameters. - -Normalized butler for the pair in a segment is calculated as follows: - - * raw butler for the pair is limited to the `cutoff_point` value - * results above `cutoff_point` are included only partially, as defined per `cutoff_rate` (e.g., by default: `32` and `0.1` mean that 10% of the result above 32 IMP counts) - * the result is normalized to IMP per board - * average score of the opponents (their raw butler score per board) is added, scaled to the `opponent_factor` parameter (e.g. the default `0.5` means half of the opponents' average is added) - * the result is recalculated as a score for the entire segment - * if the `only_current` is set, opponents' average is calculated only from segments up to the considered one - so that way normalized butler does not take into account opponents' results from the entire event, but consequent results do not change the calculation for previous segments - -All calculations are independent from the way raw butler is calculated for all the pairs. - -Finally, the `segments_in_table_limit` parameters defines how many latest segments are presented in detail in the summary table for the normalized butler (`PREFIXnormbutler.html`). All the previous segments are included in the table header, in compliance with JFR Teamy convention. - -`goniec.json` - -Defines standard parameters for Goniec transmission. - - * `enabled` turns the transmission on - * `host` and `port` point to the Goniec location - -`logoh.json` - -Sets the mapping for text strings used by the application within generated pages to the event database translation identifiers. Typically, doesn't need any adjustments. - -Every string should be present in the `logoh` table of the event database. - -**BEWARE**: in case the program raises `KeyError: NUMERIC_ID` error in lines responsible for translating strings, you should reload the correct `.language` into the JFR Teamy event database. - -`translation.json` - -Sets translations for the strings that are generated by the program, but are not present in the JFR Teamy event database. - -It consists of a dictionary of values including Polish (`pl`) and English (`en`) variations of the string. - -The application detects the language version used in the event database based on the string with ID 18 from the event database (`ROUND` for English, `RUNDA` for Polish). - -Page templates --------------- - -The `template` directory contains fully customizable page templates for the files generated by the program. - - * `table.html` is the template for the normalized butler summary table - `PREFIXnormbutler.html` file - * `frame.html` is the frame template for the normalized butler resutls of single segments - `PREFIXbutlerSEGMENT.htm` files - * `segment.html` is the template for the normalized butler pairs resutls of single segments - `PREFIXbutlerSEGMENT.html` files - * `macros.html` contains various partial templates used in multiple places of other templates - stuff like headers, separators, result table rows or page footer - -In most cases there's no need to modify these templates - they're compatible with the standard JFR Teamy formatting. - -Authors -------- - -The author of the application is MichaĆ Klichowicz (mkl). - -This was created for Polish Bridge Union, from the initiative of the Polish Open Team coach, Piotr Walczak. - -The method was adopted from the *normalized datum* calculated by the Australian Bridge Federation, according to the [2016 Australian National Championships supplementary regulations](http://www.abfevents.com.au/events/spnot/2016/include/2016_SN_Supp_Regs.pdf). - -License -------- - -The application is distributed under a [simplified 2-clause BSD license](LICENSE). - -~~~ - -`Breathe on, little sister, breathe on.` |
