Post subject: | When are some courses 3 instead of 2? |
Hey guys, So after months of complaining I wish there was a more automated tool to make schedules....I'm making one It's a python script, using information I enter into the command line to create entries in the schedule and featureRace files. I want to make it work for all the countries but I need to know under which conditions each course has to be a 3 instead of just the normal 2 for dirt. Then I can program in a rule that just typing "dirt" checks the conditions and puts the right one in. If you know them, can you add them to this post? Or if you know how I can find out the hard and fast rules, that's okay too (Also, once I have it done and have done an entire schedule and tested to make sure it does it all right, I'd be happy to post the script if anyone's interested) |

Okay, so I just checked the combined schedule to see how jumping courses are written and now I have even less of an idea Would a good general rule be that if it's a dirt variable or a jumping variable it will be [coursename]2 and pick the right surface based on the race type? |

Best Example is Lingfield which has all weather, Flat Turf and 2 Jump you can have more by changing the 1 to 2 . <NAME>Lingfield<SUBCOURSE>cc_flatTurf1 <CDIR>LH<DRAW>L3TO8<CDESC>UNDULATING<CPROFILE>SHARP<WORLDC>1769,203 <NAME>Lingfield<SUBCOURSE>cc_dirt1 <CDIR>LH<DRAW>L3TO8<CDESC>FLAT<WORLDC>1769,203 <NAME>Lingfield<SUBCOURSE>cc_jumps1 <CDIR>LH<CDESC>UNDULATING<WORLDC>1769,203 <NAME>Lingfield<SUBCOURSE>cc_hurdles1 <CDIR>LH<CDESC>UNDULATING<WORLDC>1769,203 Gray |

So if I was doing a race for Lingfield, how would I know which to use? If I have a dirt race as Lingfield2 in the same meet, does that mean my jump race would be a Lingfield3? I know in the AUS schedule there's only like one race that has a 3 and it's a South African race, which are all all-weather and flat, so is that because of distance using a different sub-course? |

In Your Feature Races they will have Course tags example <NAME>Hever Sprint Stakes<RACECOURSE>Lingfield:cc_dirt1 <MONTH>Mar<PRIZE>56250<DISTANCE>5.0<RACECATAG>LISTED<AGE>4YOUP In Your _sched_f it should show 3,19 Lingfield2 Hever Sprint Stakes You can remove the 2 after Lingfield as that is left over from old Version SO5 it wouldn't affect what track has the Tag in your Feature Races is Lingfield:cc_dirt1 and if you want to do another Dirt Track you would change the 1 to the 2 on that Tag Like this Lingfield:cc_dirt2 Gray |

Wait so the number isn't even important? Because yeah, I've seen those examples and written some myself for USA races, but I just assumed that 1 meant turf, 2 meant dirt and I wasn't seeing 3 because it was for jumps. If it's not needed, I'll leave it out. |

That's going to make the script I've written much easier to program for that - if it was going to be some sort of "if you've used this other tag, you have to use x number" it was going to be difficult, because the script is output-only and doesn't read the other races. Need to plan out some lower level races to add to my schedule and then I finally get to test writing a whole schedule with it I've even made a quick little script that will generate random races for me, so if I ask for 4 random lower races, it gives me this: 1m7f C6 3yo 5f C4 3yo 5f ListedHcp 3youp 1m6f C7 4youp |
