Hi there,
i have two questions.
First, what filetype or database is used in this video to get the gamedata from, excel, xml?
https://youtu.be/sFV5wR1gRIo
Second, i have several textfiles, with tab-delimited names and numbers, but all in the same positions in the rows and columns; names and shirtnumbers from 11 soccerplayers in a soccer team.
Like this:
1 Name Lastname
2 Another name
3 Name
4 Person
5 Someone
....
Et cetera, till 11.
In Xpression i have a tactical formation with player names and player shirtnumbers like in the supplied image.
These names and numbers are connected to a text file thats 'textfile datalinqed'.
Often in a broadcast i have to present up to 5 matches.
I'm currently in the process of building a new Xpression project.
For the 5 matches i will at least have to mouseclick my way through at least 10x22=220 Datalinqs to link the fields from 10 textfiles to 10 Scenes.
A sh*tload of work. Very error-sensitive.
Looking at the video i mentioned, this must be easier to achieve.
The question: can i create only one scene with the playnumber and playername fields and create datalinks in these fields, where then i can place the the scene several times in my sequence and fill the fields by choosing a textfield through for instance a dopdown menu?
I once tried this through an Excelsheet on a shared disk, but data doesnt always seam to update properly, so i went back to textfiles.
