NHL Season Countdown

[kempdawg20]

Here's my take on the Christmas board. I essentially changed some of the settings and colors and added my own images into it. The date itself is the first regular season game (October 12th). Below is the code for the Christmas.py I used. I've also attached the photos I used which you would put in assets -> images. To run this simply create a new Christmas.py file and replace it with the one that is currently on the board. Then in setup just select that you want to display the Christmas Countdown board.

Im going to tweak it and add it to beta either today or tomorrow.

I like how xmas in the code is season opening xD.

[kempdawg20]

hahahaha, I mean it's Christmas before Christmas!

[pjockey]

I've added the countdown code from the beta repo and it works great. I thought I'd tweak the christmas.py code and change it for Halloween. I went thru the code and changed all the xmas and christmas values to halloween, saved it and called it halloween.py and then added the board to the offday for my team and then added the board and enabled it.

Not sure what I did wrong, but the scoreboard will not load. If I remove the board from the offday, the scoreboard works fine.

Perhaps one can't just change things like that?

Think I figured it out. First I was getting an error that the config.json did not conform to the schema. So I added the Halloween board to the schema. I then ree-ran the ./nhl_setup file. Then, while running the nhl-led-scoarboard script, I was getting errors with led to the /hnl-led-scoreboard/src/boards/boards.py file.

    board = getattr(self, data.config.boards_off_day[bord_index])
AttributeError: 'Boards' object has no attribute 'halloween'

I then added the halloween attribute using the christmas one as a guide, saved the file and re-ran the script again. It then provided me with another error.

    Halloween(data, matrix, sleepEvent).draw()
NameError: name 'Halloween' is not defined

Went back into the boards.py file and add this line to the top section of the file from boards.halloween import Halloween. saved the file and re-ran the script. Then I was advised there was no font_halloween:

    self.font.scroll = data.config.layout.font_halloween
AttributeError: 'Layout' object has no attribute 'font_halloween'

Edited /nhl-led-scoreboard/src/data/layout.py to add the Halloween font, and used the same as the xmas.

Another thing is to ensure all of the "xmas" words have been changed to "halloween". LOL

Yeah I spent a few hours one night playing around with it. When I first built it out I just left everything as Christmas/XMAS. Then I went full out and changed everything. Had the same issues as you had, main thing is just playing around with it until it starts working the way you want it. But literally all the issues you had, I had the same ones for the original NHL season countdown haha.
