Welcome to sns2ps - Create Practiscore competitor registration lists from Shoot 'n Score It
What does this do?
sns2ps (Shoot 'n Score It to Practiscore) allows you to create CSV files from Shoot 'n Score It that can be imported into Practiscore when creating matches.
It supports the following match types:
- Action Air
- Minirifle
- Shotgun
Support for handgun matches is coming soon.
It only supports single-firearm matches.
Where do I get it?
Visit the releases page, find the latest release (newest is higher up), and download the appropriate version for your operating system. In case you're not sure, the options are:
- darwin_arm64 - Fancy new Apple computers with Apple's own chip (2021 onwards)
- darwin_amd64 - Older Apple laptops with Intel chips
- linux_amd64 - Linux
- windows_amd64 - Windows computers
How do I use it?
When you download the release for your computer, you'll get a zip file. Unzip this with the tool of your choice, normally by double clicking it or running unzip <downloadedfilename>.zip
There should be a single file in the zip named sns2ps for Apple or Linux computers, or sns2ps.exe for Windows users. Put this file somewhere you can find it later, like your desktop.
Linux and Mac only - make the tool runnable
- Open a terminal application
- For Mac users, you'll want something like iTerm or the
Terminalunder Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app
- For Mac users, you'll want something like iTerm or the
- Change to the directory where you extracted the
sns2psfile from thezipfile you downloaded- If you dragged the
snsfile to your desktop, typecd ~/Desktopto get to the right place
- If you dragged the
- Execute the following command to make the file runnable as your user:
chmod 700 sns2ps
Running the tool
On Linux or Macs, you'll need to start with a terminal application like you did when making the file runnable. On Windows, you should run the Command Prompt. You can do this by pressing the Windows key on your keyboard or clicking the Windows button on the taskbar, then typing cmd. Select Command Prompt from the results.
Once you've got a terminal or command prompt running, you must change to the folder where you put the sns2ps file after you unzipped it. If you dragged this to your desktop on Windows, you would type cd Desktop
To run the tool, type ./sns2ps on Linux and Mac machines, or sns2ps.exe on Windows and press enter.
Feeding in your match details
If you just followed the instructions above, you will now be prompted for a number of things including your Match ID, your Shoot 'n Score It username, and your password for Shoot 'n Score It.
You can find your MatchID by visiting the main page of your match and looking at your URL. The URL in your browser will be something like https://shootnscoreit.com/event/22/19991/
The number after /event/22/ is your matchID - in the example above, it would be 19991
If you enter all of your details correctly, you'll see something like
Generating competitor list for "My Awesome Match"
Found X squads
Found Y competitorsCreating CSV named "My_Awesome_Match.csv"
Finished creating competitor csv - you can now import this to Practiscore
You'll now have a CSV in the same folder where you ran the command from that you can import into Practiscore. The file will be the name of your match with _ in place of spaces.
These questions are getting tedious - do I REALLY have to answer them every time?
Glad you asked - no, you do not. If you run ./sns2ps -v or sns2ps.exe -h you'll see some help. You can supply matchID, username and password on the commandline. If you only provide some of these, you'll be prompted for the rest.
An example would be ./sns2ps -m 19991 -u myshootnscoreitmail@example.com -p mypassword
Running the above would store your password in your computer history for other people to discover, so you may instead want to do ./sns2ps -m 19991 -u myshootnscoreitmail@example.com and let the application prompt you for your password - whatever you type there won't be stored anywhere.
Help - I'm stuck
I'm sorry to hear that - I really want this to be as simple to use as possible. If you're stuck, please raise an issue here with as much detail as possible.
