Not to my knowledge.

Edit: I have acquired new knowledge:

Epic. Thanks tons Phil!

Where would I put my suffix, though?

Would it be something like:


by chance?

Probably the latter. Experiment and find something that does what you want!

If you are bolding every field because the font is too thin, you could also consider changing the font for the whole HUD.

Yeah, that's exactly the problem, unfortunately. My tables are so small that the default font is just incredibly hard to read. I wouldn't mind bolding them all, or at least the ones I deem important. In the case that I can't figure out how to bold each stat individually, how would I go about just setting the default HUD font? To something such as Verdana/Bold?

I'll try experimenting with it a bit, but if you've got an easy solution for just bolding the entire thing, I would be perfectly happy with doing that. Let me know.

Thank you Phil. I really appreciate your help.

Well, in the default config there's a couple of lines like this:

You can change the font and font size there and it should apply to your whole HUD. Some fonts have all-bold versions, I think? So you might be able to change it to something like if that is a font on your system. Or, you know, just find another font that you like better anyway.

When you say "default config," are you just referring to the standard HUD_Config?


By the way, you've been incrediblhy helpful, Phil, and I really appreciate it. I wish more devs were as willing to help their customers as you are. Feel free to toss me a "donate" link. I would like to help out, if possible.

When editing the HUD Aux's, I can't figure out the correct label to use for bold...

For example, "Font_Size="X"" is the label for Font Size. "Opacity="X"" for Opacity, etc...

What would be the label for bolding the text? Something like "Font_Style="Bold" or something to that extent? Or am I way off?

Yes. There's a default config in the distribution that is copied to your fpdb config folder the first time you run it. So I refer to that when trying to help people out.

A couple of people have offered me money, nobody has convinced me yet.

Really in my home PC Windows 7 and FPDB 40.5 option with font="Sans Bold" has been worked fine for two years already. On my Notebook Windows8 and FPDB 41.0-rc6 it doesn't work. Option font="Arial Bold" also doesn't work (I mean fonts still normal, not bold). And Arial is for sure in the system with Bold variant included.

You are way off. As far as I know (bearing in mind I've been wrong before) there's nothing like that. What you can do is look for fonts on your system called "Fontname Bold" or similar and put that in the font="Fontname" part. At least, that worked for me on OSX when I tested it just now. Cross-platform font wrangling is not the business I want to be in.

So I just tried this on win7 and had the same result. Arial Bold seems to produce the same result as "Arial" and "Arial Regular". But "Arial Black" works and is much better imo. Fonts, eh? Who the **** knows. Just try all the fonts you like until you find one that actually works, I guess?

Edit: I don't know what I did on OSX but it wasn't this. Ignore everything I said about putting " Bold" after fontnames. It doesn't work. Find a naturally thicker font, increase the font size, or employ the hudprefix/suffix trick I suggested above if you want bold fonts with the Qt version of FPDB.

Phil, while I've got you here... There's no stat for a player's current table money, right? I think the closest thing is total big blinds?

And if that's the case, what is the "stat_name" for a player's total big blinds? I can't seem to find it (or a list of HUD stats) anywhere.

I've only found: http://fpdb.wikidot.com/howto:hud ... In which the stat list is obviously VERY outdated.




Edit: Looks like Phil may have logged off for the night. If anybody else knows the "stat_name" for a player's current Big Blinds, please let me know. Thanks all!

Okay. I figured out the "stat_name" for a player's current big blinds and have incorporated it into my HUD setup. However, for some reason, it adds 2 extra unnecessary 0's to the end of everybody's stat.

E.g. On a 2NL (1 cent/2 cent) table, when I max buyin for $2, it shows me as having 10,000 big blinds, instead of 100. The guy next to me has $4.94, and it's showing 24,700 big blinds.

Why is this happening? And is there any way to correct it?

I'm still awake. You're talking about the 'bbstack' stat, maybe? I just did a couple of tests with it and cannot reproduce your issue. What version of FPDB are you running?

BTW a couple of years ago I wrote some letters to FPDB, quotes from letters are mainly still valid:
-------------
"I promise you to pay $100 (price for HM) as soon as positional stats would be incorporated in FPDB HUD

I am a recriational player so it's not a big money, sorry

For sure all preflop stats for each position would be great, but my main concern is Raise First in, which is more important than PFR. (But PFR is better than no position stats at all). Also I am very interested in limp stats, at least overall limp.
Agg as a postflop stat would be very interesting IP and OOP but it's just a dream.

I think that it's a great software. Frankly speaking I prefer it to be not free, but with more features and better support. And I am just a recreational player playing few tournaments per week. I am very sure that there are many pro- and semiproplayers who want the same, ready to pay just for new fitures to be implemented but just lazy to do anything.

I could post some fund-raising posts on the positional stats for HUD for example on 2+2 and a couple of FPDB threats on Russian poker forums but I know that it's much better to ask them to transfer money to PS or FT accounts of some player, not to the bank account and so on (laziness is the reason). If you somehow interesting in this fund-raising could you please post on 2+2 that "help is appreciated and we could do it by transfering money to user ххх on PS (and may be yyy on FT)"?
-------------------------
Really I think it's possible to make some vote here for example: "What features/stats do you miss most in FPDB and ready for small payment for them to be implemented?"

BTW as now I play mostly stud games I hope positional stats would work for them too despite without door cards analysis it's not so usefull.

While I'm poking around in the stats, turns out there is a stat for this! It's called 'game_abbr'. Here's the mapping from game type to abbreviation:

Great thanks for your support, really appreciated.

Yeah, you're right. It is the 'bbstack' stat. I'm running 0.40.5

I don't think anything should be different since then, but I can't be sure so you should grab my latest release if you want to try and figure it out.

Might as well give that a shot, eh? Does updating require any additional steps, or do you just simply replace the old files?

I wouldn't replace your old files, just unzip my thing in a new folder and run fpdb.exe.

If you add _0 in the stat_name, removes decimals. So, i tried that, bbstack_0 and got your problem, now shows 10000bb!! So maybe your whole HUD is set to _0 thing?Other stats how many decimals show?

Yeah, I've got that _0 added to all of my stats. I don't want any decimals showing simply because they take up too much room. Should I try removing the _0 from just the 'bbstack' stat only?

Yes, for me bbstack_0, caused the problem. Try bbstack and should show normal.

Wow, thanks for spotting this. It appears this is indeed a problem, and several other stats have the same issue. Writing a fix now.
