CENTERSTAGE Preview Release # 2

This is a preview release of the FIRST Tech Challenge Scoring Software for CENTERSTAGE. THIS VERSION CANNOT BE USED FOR OFFICIAL EVENTS.

Reminder: The CENTERSTAGE scoring system has auto-updates. If you have already installed the scoring system this season, just open it while connected to the internet to download the latest version. (If it is already running you will need to exit it first.)

Notable changes:

  • Teams can now be marked as "no show" or "robot not present" (was in the first preview but not documented)
  • Overlay now supports "transparent" backgrounds
  • CENTERSTAGE inspection forms and scoresheets have been added
  • Head Referee features no longer require enabling on the Settings tab

The latest version of the scoring system can be downloaded from https://ftc-scoring.firstinspires.org/local/2024

Details

  • Teams can now be marked as "no show" or "robot not present" (was in the first preview but not documented)

    • A team marked as "no robot" cannot have robot-specific achievements scored but will earn RP/TBP the same as a team that is present: this should be used for teams that have a member present for the match but no robot on the field. This should reduce scoring errors where a team with no robot but a team member present is inadvertently marked as a "no show" (which does not earn RP/TBP).
  • Overlay now supports "transparent" backgrounds
    • image.png
    • If you select "transparent" for the overlay color, the layer underneath will be shown without needing to use a chroma/color key. This is only useful with OBS/other software-based switchers; if you are using a conventional video switcher you will need to continue using color-based keying. The overlay will default to transparent mode when opened inside OBS browser.
  • CENTERSTAGE inspection forms and scoresheets have been added
  • The randomization display now shows the Backdrop position in addition to the Spike Mark position
  • Head Referee features no longer require enabling on the Settings tab
    • Head Referee features are now always available without being separately enabled first. They are still optional, and all aspects of the event will work correctly without them.

Bug Fixes

  • The overlay color picker is now usable
  • "Very Late" for inspection status displays has been changed to be a different color from "not started"
  • Fixes typo in Alliance Selection script* Clicking the scoring system link in the launcher will now always open a single copy of the scoring system in a browser
  • n the launcher will now always open a single copy of the scoring system in a browsers
  • The "Drone Zone" inputs have been reorganized to make clearer that either team's drone can be entered into ether input
  • Referees can no longer submit scores at the end of the match if there is an error in their data. An error message will be shown indicating which field needs correcting.
  • Use of a Team Prop is more visibly indicated on audience displays
