How do you use the visualizer? what do you need to do to get pictures to show up?

thanks.

You need to download images off the Net first and save them to the MEDIA folder which resides inside your TNM 7 SE folder.

Then run the Image Wizard plugin and assign the image to the person(s) it belongs to.

For instance, if you have

toshiaki_kawada.jpg

in the MEDIA folder, you need to click "Wrestlers", then "T", then "Toshiaki Kawada". Then click "Add Image From MEDIA folder" and select toshiaki_kawada.jpg OR look for toshiaki_kawada.jpg in the Stray Images field and double-click it to assign it to Kawada.

Do you plan on releasing a pre-installed version of the Visualizer? I have the same problem here as in TNM SE. The program does not respond when I press 'q' when I've finished reading the license agreement.. so basically, I can't install it..

Please download http://www.tnm7.com/downloads/install.zip, unzip it to your TNM7SE folder and run INSTALL.BAT.

That'll patch things for you.

Can you also accomplish the same thing by editing the index.dat file in the media folder?  Looking at it, I see that the format is as follows:

Abdullah the Butcher
aj_abby.jpeg
Hiroshi Hase
aj_hase.jpeg
Kaz Hayashi
aj_hayashi.jpeg
And so on.  Would it therefore also work to find a picture, put it in the media folder, then (being very careful to copy both the name of the wrestler and the file name properly) just add the new ones at the end?

And, if so, what happens if I accidentally use a misspelled wrestler or picture name?  Will either of these create a serious error in TNM7, or would it simply not display an image?

I ask because, being a poor college student, I don't have much discretionary income if I want to eat.  And most of that has gone into a ticket to Wrestlemania already.

Thanks.

Of course, editing INDEX.DAT manually is possible as well.

The syntax you should is:

Singles Wrestlers:

Wrestler Name
imagefile.jpg|imagefile2.jpg|...|imagefilex.jpg

Tag Teams:

Tag Team Name (Wrestler 1/Wrestler 2)
imagefile.jpg|imagefile2.jpg|...|imagefilex.jpg

[Wrestlers have to be put in alphabetical order.]

Stables are tricky, though, and shouldn't have images assigned manually.

Managers:

Manager Name
imagefile.jpg|imagefile2.jpg|...|imagefilex.jpg

Titles:

Title Name
imagefile.jpg|imagefile2.jpg|...|imagefilex.jpg
