Displaying a guest’s mug shot
You can display a guest’s mug shot on GateKeeper module. The mug_shot from a guest can be displayed on the GateKeeper screen. To activate this functionality, the region where the image is displayed is defined using .INI settings:
[Mug]
X1=.6
X2= 1
Y1=.6
Y2= 1
These settings put the image in the bottom right corner of the screen (from 60% to 100% of the screen for x and y). Additional guest information is retrieved: birth date, first name and last name. This information can be formatted and displayed using:
[GuestInfo]
Size=18
Font=Arial
X1=.5
X2=1
Y1=.45
Y2=.5
Text= Welcome *FNAME* *LNAME*and*FNAME2* *LANAME2* -Expires*Expires* *AGE*
In order for the pass expiration date to display, the following .INI setting is necessary to specify the format of the date:
[Preferences]
DateFormat=MM/DD/YYYY
These settings define the region to display the text. The Text setting is what to display and the *XXX* fields are replaced with the actual information.
In addition, you can use a different .bmp and a different sound for child guests.
[Preferences]
ChildAgeLimit=12.0
GoodBmpChild=aux_files\child.bmp
GoodSoundChild=aux_files\child.wav
When the response is good and online and the age is less than the threshold, the appropriate .bmp or wave file is used (if defined).
GateKeeper module displays the guest’s mug shot when a valid pass is scanned. GateKeeper module can display a designated .bmp file and sound a designated .wav file when a ticket is scanned with a specified DCI. The ability also exists to set multiple programs in GateKeeper module. This replaces the ChildAgeLimit, GoodBmpChild and GoodSoundChild settings (which can be replicated much more effectively using this new system). Each program needs settings similar to:
[Program1]
Name=Junior Ticket
GoodBmp=GoodChild.bmp
GoodSound=GoodChild.wav
DCI=TICKETS,ALLDAY,CHILD;TICKETS,HALFDAY,CHILD
[Program2]
Name=Senior Ticket
GoodBmp=GoodSenior.bmp
GoodSound=GoodSenior.wav
DCI=TICKETS,ALLDAY,SENIOR
The programs need to be numbered (1 to whatever) in order. The DCI is a list separated by semicolons. The department, category and item are separated by commas.
