Application Settings

There are three classes of settings in Tempus:

Default Settings
Competition Settings
Server Data

Default Settings

Every competition is created with a default set of settings that are seeded from the settings.json file. Once the competition has been created, the settings are stored in the competition file and can only be changed within that file.

The default settings file is located in Assets\Settings.json.

NOTE: This file is automatically copied to the appropriate directories (e.g. wwwroot, chromely installer) during deployment. During development, however, changes to this file won’t be copied unless the regenerate utility is invoked from the command line.

Competition Settings

All settings for a competition are stored in the .meet file.

NOTE: Settings for a competition are not stored in the settings.json file. Those are the default settings for new competitions.

This is important to understand as it’s a change from the way Meet Manager worked where the settings file was separate from the .meet file. Because the operation of the meet is dependent upon specific settings for that meet, it makes sense to keep the data together in a single file. If the files are separate, it may not be possible to clone or simulate the race when it is loaded in the future of the original settings is lost.

Settings in a competition must be changed from within the application using the Settings screen. Alternatively, settings can be imported or exported from the application.
