Got a problem. Tournament does not reflect as finished when the last player have been progressed.
Please see link: http://www.sgwargames.net/forum/comp...p?do=view&id=1

Or is there anyway to "finish" the tournament?

I've found the problem. It was due to there being only two rounds.

Umm so are you saying that it cannot support tournaments with 2 rounds? like a 1v1 challenge instead of a ladder?

It can; I've tested it here. Fixed files are attached

[andeelym]

Its working now. Thank you!

When are you going to combine all those "quick fixes" (that you've attached) into a whole new version?? I have 2.7.4 right now and I was thinking about upgrading, but I guess I'll wait for the next full release rather than upgrading to 2.7.6 and then applying those manual fixes....

Great mod, thanks
I am however having a few 'niggles' with it..
I have uploaded graphics for the teams, but they are not showing up..
The competitions button in the navbar is not formatted the same as the rest of the bar. i.e. the graphics are there for the other buttons but the Competitions one is just blue.
Can anyone help point me in the right direction to fix these minor issues please?

Thanks

I was planning to add more features before next release but I haven't had time. So I'll just upload file with all the fixes soon.
