This is why I added player name to the stat list, because the player sitting in the seat this hand may not always be the same player as was sitting in the seat last hand. I don't think it's default to have player name in the display though.

I could potentially see down the road, maybe a multi-game HUD, where you can click on it, and it will flip through the stats for each game that it has processed for that table .. not something I'd have the knowledge or opportunity to do, though.

My half-baked plan for HORSE support in the HUD is this:

Put a true/false entry in the config file that would be check-mixed, or something.
If check-mixed is True then when a new hand comes in we'll check the title bar of the window to get the game being played. (using xlibs in Linux or hwnd in windows--these are pretty fast so it won't slow updating). People who don't play mixed games can set check-mixed to False and will have no slowdown at all from this.
So when we update the HUD display, we'll use the stats for the game in the title bar, not the game played in the last hand.

I don't like the idea of showing stats from the previous game because "good" stats are somewhat different in the different games.

comments always welcome

I would be happy to work with you on this. To get the HUD to support OS/X we'll need:

To have the gui working.
Some way to get the location of the poker table window.
Some way to read the title bar so you can get the table name, the game played, etc.
Preferrably some way to get the owner of the window (e. g., PokerStars.exe or whatever). We can program around this, probably.

One thing we do in Linux and Windows is nail the HUD to a particular poker table window so that the correct stat windows are showing when the windows are stacked. That is probably pretty optional.

edit to say that this might be helpful

One other thing on this. We will also need to have a routine to identify the pc as a Mac. We currently use the os.name string to tell Linux from Windows. I am pretty sure that both Linux and OS/X report os.name as "posix".

OK, those are my 5 demands. + a getaway car

This is an interesting idea to the question that plagued me of, how could the HUD recognize the game switch until after the 2nd hand. This is especially good when you get to the Razz/Stud/Stud8 stretch. Not having the right stats could easily get confusing.

We have also defined a whole bunch of foreign keys which are not supported by myISAM, so they would have to be dropped before you can alter the tables. There are also a ton of commit statements in the code. They would do nothing with myISAM tables (I'm pretty sure they don't cause an error.), but they would still take some time.

We drop the foreign keys at about line 133 in fpdb_simple.py. It is pretty simple. We currently don't use the foreign keys right now (but probably should with stuff like cascading deletes).

I'll try it out, then, proceeding very cautiously. MyISAM ought to be somewhat faster: the few minutes of research I did indicated that INNODB can be noticeably faster where there are multiple simultaneous insertions into the same table taking place, since it locks individual rows, not whole tables. Evidently INNODB is often faster in server applications. But Fpdb, I think, only updates or inserts one thing at a time, being strictly a single-user application.

At any rate, this is not something to be decided theoretically. I'll report back on results if I can get it to work.

The lack of support for foreign keys was one of the objections to SQLite. I think they would be dispensable if Fpdb were very careful with how it deletes records.

BandiChime · 03-18-2009, 04:31 AM

wow, fpdb is coming along nicely

Kris8400 · 03-18-2009, 11:31 AM

So I finally got things more or less working and I'm still deeply impressed by this app.

Some more questions that I couldn't answer by reading the thread:

-is there a definitive solution to make the HUD labels "stick" to a player? Right now they're all over my desktop/table

-does graphing work? I know it doesn't for me, I did install the necesary python libs

Also color in the HUD would be nice but I guess I'm not the first to come up with that brilliant plan

Kris8400 · 03-18-2009, 12:15 PM

Oh, also: the path to the HH files needs to be entered again at each startup.

Please tell me if I'm nagging and pointing out the obvious.

About the graphing: console displays error "Either 0 or more than 1 site matched-EEK"

Here's my error log:

Set HH_path in the config to make this persistent. Not being able to save this setting back to config is an old "bug"

We've had good intentions of writing a config dialog for a while now.

This should work - even with prefered seating (http://fpdb.wiki.sourceforge.net/Pre...+Seat+on+Stars)

FWIW i had a glich with this recently too.

For cash games yes, i see you have a post further on with an error message already.

This already works, but you have to add a couple of fields to the config file. I think the settings for this were in one of the release notes - ekdikeo?

Change the site name in the config file from 'Full Tilt' to 'Full Tilt Poker' and that should work.

Wow, those are some fast and clear answers, thank you.
If I'm right I could also enter the table size in pixels on that same row where preferred seat is? I'm using mini tables atm and the stats are a bit far apart.

That is usually a problem with the preferred seat thing. See here.

Graphs work. If you are using the recent (yesterday, fixed about 10 min ago) code from my repo, then you are using a silly bug I put in. Just pull again, reimport and graphing should be OK.

I am planning to rewrite the stats routines to support colorizing the stats based on their value. I have been thinking a lot about how to do that and how to support it in a configuration gui. There are still some speed/reliability/stability changes and features that I want to do first.

NEVER MIND sorrow answered your questions correctly.

Right now the table size in the config file is not used. My plan is to use that to move the stat windows when the user resizes the table.
