Cool, got it working. Thanks _dave_

Awesome

was it something particular to your setup or something that affects all newer Windows systems that I should code for?

Brian O'Nolan · 12-10-2010, 07:34 PM

I may have changed where the hh files etc are stored from the default location at some point for HEM compatibility... I vaguely remember doing something like that... but in any case my comp is a few years old and running Vista, so I couldn't really speak for newer systems.

my log file is under users/myname/appdata/local/pokerstars

I dont know how to edit the line in the script to that location. Would really appreciate your help

Change this line:

Code:

_FILE := A_ProgramFiles . "\PokerStars\PokerStars.log.0"

to

Code:

_FILE := C . "\Users\Myname\AppData\Local\PokerStars\PokerStars.log.0"

(or whatever the appropriate path is, if the hard drive is D change the A to a D)

As _dave_ mentioned, you can uncomment the first msgbox line and that will tell you as soon as you open the lobby if the script is reading the log file by popping up some message boxes.

If you don't care how the sitout occurs it's easy to make it auto-close tables, if you only want that to happen after a "sitout next BB" selection that'll take more thinking

ETA: actually it posts "sitOutNextBigBlindCheck set to 1" to the log file, it is possible to keep a list of windows with that option set and auto-close only them if need be.

For me it would be fine to auto close any table that i'm sitting out on, wouldn't necessarily have to be after next BB. Do you think it would be possible for you to make a version that does this? Would be very appreciated.

Hey... the tool is working fine with me and Im like super excited because I finally have autotimebank clicking as TN wouldnt do this for me.
However could it be that your tool has some sort of a "never sit out" option running the whole time? could you tell me how to disable that?

I used tableninja's free 30daytrial this year and it ran out so I'm looking for a timeouthelper. I went to autohotkey.com and downloaded it, copied dave's code from post 1, saved it to notepad, called it timeouthelper.ahk and have run into problems getting it to work. I have the green H icon in the system tray. I've clicked run as administrator and/or run script and it still doesn't work. I'm using a laptop with windows 7. I am clueless when it comes to computer codes. The only thing I really enjoyed of tableninja was the autoclicking the timebank. Can anyone help me out?

UrSoUnusual · 02-19-2011, 11:16 PM

This is great! Thanks, _dave_.

I can't seem to get this to work.

I use windows 7 64 bit professional, and I play on the smallest table size possible, and I use the new black theme.

Installed the PS software on the default folder it suggests during installation, or more specifically on C:Program Files (x86)/etc...

I didn't move any log file, but I did change the folder where the HH's saves at the C:.../Pokerstars/HandHistories.

Any help would be appreciated.

On Win7 I think it writes the log elsewhere, maybe users\appdata or similar. it needs finding, although it may not show up in a search unless you enable an option to search "view hidden files and folders"

Ok I enabled the "view hidden files and folders". Cant find it during search though. What am I suppose to type? I tried Pokerstars Log, and it shows nothing.

**_dave_** · 02-20-2011, 03:09 AM

PokerStars.log.0 is the file. it is constantly being written to while Stars is open. Actually, there may be a link in the help menu of the Stars client to show you the location.

Typed that on search bar, nothing comes up.

Where in the PS client can I find it? I tried looking but could'nt find it.
