With the example script_config.xml in place you can run the Water Coach by double clicking the WaterCoach.exe.
Try it!
Inspect the elements of the example and make modifications:
dataStart
, dataStop
, displayStart
What is the difference between dataStart
and displayStart
?
How can you use this?
How long does the example script run?
Extend the length of the game by changing the value of the dataStop
keyword. stories
are what the script revolves around-
forecastTable
and the foreastNote
are the objective of the Water Coach -
dictionaryFiles
can be used in many different ways
Below, we will take a closer look at stories
, forecastTable
and dictionaryFiles
You can run the Water Coach by double clicking the WaterCoach.exe. Select the scenario and script you have created.
Test your modifications!
Stories
There are two types of stories. Inspect the Stories of the example
Frames
Inspect the Frames of the example and make modifications:
-
title
is how the frame is presented to the trainee
Change the title to reflect the content of the frame -
start

Dictionary Files

word
s and their definition
A dictionary could be used to aid a less experienced trainee
Every time the dictionary is used, this is logged for after action review
Can you find the log file for this training session?
Connecting the dots
So far, alterations to the script have been made without referring to the scenario, i.e. the contents of the Delft-FEWS local data store. Start-up Delft-FEWS and inspect the data that is available.
Construct a simple script with events for a trainee in which he/she has to inspect the data in Delft-FEWS in order to be able to publish a forecast (for a location and parameter of your choice).
Give feedback at the end of the script about the forecast that he/she made.
