I enabled debugging and took a screen shot of a PS table for you to take a look at:

FTSC works perfect with my current table mod so I'm still holding out hope that once I fix the bet sizes issue with PS it will also fix it for FT as the problem seems to be the same for both.

I did recalibrate my FT table without any board cards after Fozzy suggested (and now the colors match the felt color), but that didn't help the bet sizing problem.

Thanks for the detailed picture! It was very helpful.

The software is not detecting your buttons (call=0, fold=0) and the call amount is wrong (which it reads off the call button). The only thing I can think of at the moment is that you don't have the TableTheme set to PSTableHyperSimple on the Setup tab. Please verify that for me.

I'm sure your FT table will have at least one problem, that is related to the problem we are seeing with your stars table... Your FT buttons are non-standard, and the software will not be able to read the call amount off of those buttons, as PSC uses image recognition to read the call amount. FTSC used a different method to read the call amount (that was incorrect in certain positions at the table, like when you were seated in the small blind). Fozzy may be able to tell you how to re-install the standard buttons on your table.

The only other issue I see is that you are not seated in seat 3 at the table. This doesn't cause much of a problem at ring game tables, but it will prevent the software from determining your stack size and the number of seats/players at the table... which of often needed for displaying info about tourney/sng tables.

Hey Respawn,

lol... you must I'm blind.

I was finally able to duplicate what you are seeing after trying many things. And it does looks like "flashing". It seems to only happen at some table sizes. I don't know what is causing it yet, but I'm working on it.

thanks for your persistence and testing!

How about "automatically click info tab" and "automatically refresh info tab" for tournaments?

I currently have an external script running that automatically clicks the info tab and refreshes it as soon as a table is activated.
TableNinja does this intermittently for all (visible?) tables, which is great. I'm not that experienced with AHK scripting so I haven't been able to do that yet, but you should be able to do that with ease?

(Maybe you could make it so that if the player manually clicks the "Chat" tab it overrides the "auto click Info" on that table or something until "Info" is clicked again manually by the player. Or do something similar so that you can read the chat box at a given table without info being clicked again on that table. It's not all that important but would probably be better than manually having to deactivate the "auto info / auto refresh" feature every time you have to / want to look at the chat box.)

I do have this feature request high on the wish list. Thanks for your thoughts on how this should work... Let's kick this around a little more.

So, PSC could have a checkbox that says: Auto click the Info-Refresh button when the Info-Refresh button is visible.

That way the user could click Chat and look at the chat area, and when he wanted to see the Info, he manually clicks the Info button, and then the software will then continually refresh it.

How important is it that the software clicks the Info button when the table is first opened?

Very important imo. When I load up a ton of tournaments, aside from having to act at all tables, clicking the info tab on every single table would be quite tedious.

Right now with my external script the "default" for every table is Info tab open + auto click refresh which is nice for mass tabling.

For me personally, a perfect setup would be that it opens the info tab and auto refreshes intermittently on all visible tables (would be 4 for me since I stack) if I click on Chat, however, it should override the "auto open info tab" on that table until I manually click on the Info tab on that table.

That sounds like it's a bit of work so if it takes too much time away from things that need your immediate attention you could just do something like this for now:

[x] Auto refresh Info tab on all visible tables
[x] Auto open Info tab on all visible tables

I have only tested it with PokerStars so far and there always seemed to be a strong bias towards one of the buyin levels. I had the lobby set up to show two types of sit and goes (same kind of tournament, two different buyin levels), had those specified as SnG 1 and 2, checked their checkboxes on SnG B.

In FTShortcuts it used to just register as soon as it "saw" the games in the lobby (and the criteria were met...). With Stars it doesn't seem to properly scan through all the games in the lobby or something. I had sessions were I manually loaded one type of SnG 2 and then started the session in Poker Shortcuts and it literally only opened tournaments of SnG 1's type.

It's also hard to open SnG's manually in the Stars lobby when a "session" is running because it seems like Poker Shortcuts forces the lowermost sit and go to be selected. Maybe that's also why it prefers to register those?!

I don't know if this is intended but I don't think there should be a bias towards any of the specified SnG's. It should just check the lobby if any of the ones with a checked checkbox on SnG B are visible and go ahead and register them as soon as they are like FTShortcuts used to do.

(Using Windows XP, Cleartype, Lobby text largest, Black lobby theme, Lobby visible on its own dedicated screen.)

The way PSC works for opening sngs is that it tries to open the first enabled Sng (checkboxes on the sngB tab), then the 2nd, and so forth. It starts by looking at the top of the PS lobby (for that particular enabled sng), and works it's way down (trying to find an image match).

There will be a bias toward opening sngs that are listed nearer the top of the lobby, but there shouldn't be a bias toward a particular sng that you have enabled.

The software will make one try to open the first enabled sng, and then it will try the second, and back to the first (if there are 2 enabled).

.

This part does not work the same as FTSC used to work. You now need to set up a HotKey to do the dirty work. On the DealMe page, set up a HotKey for "Active Table Mode Toggle Key..." (I use F1).

I found this irritating that I couldn't just uncheck autopost anymore. But then I changed the DealMeActiveTableOnly to MButton and I'm happy I had a spare mouse function so I don't have to use the keyboard for this.

Nevertheless, the bug I mentioned quoted above is still there.

I can confirm that I have PSTableHyperSimple entered in the Setup tab. Can you think of any other troublshooting steps to try and get the bet sizing working for PS?

This is a bummer. I like my current table mod and was hoping Pokershortcuts would work with it because FTSC does. I'll see if Fozzy has any suggestions for getting the "default" buttoms in with my table mod.

kk and Annuit: what are your settings on the Table1 tab?

Annuit: are your tables stacked, cascaded or tiled? What poker sites?

kk: what poker site are you having this problem with? Do you just have tables from one poker site in the cascade (you need to just have one poker site in a give cascade... make 2 cascades if you intermix FT and PS tables)? Can you email me a screen capture of your table layout?

Any other clues?

nanochip

I only checked on Table1 one "Auto-Activate the next table with pending action"
and
"Auto activate the table the mouse is over"
Only FTP 16 talbes stacked.
I upload my settings on RS maybe it helps you.

For some reason i am unable to calibrate the empty seats using certain backgrounds on FT. Jungle theme and beach theme produce all kinds of different colours after calibration. As a result, during game play, PSC is not calculating the # of remaining players properly as players get eliminated. All the other backgrounds calibtrate fine, so i know my settings are ok otherwise none of the background themes would calibrate properly. To confuse matters even further, none of the empty seats calibrate properly in the Beta version of Full Tilt. I get the following error message: "Problem occurred while calibrating table empty seat colours: The Full Tilt table appears to be covered at seat 1".

black background on hyper simple on stars doesn't work for me. It doesn't automatically put the street bet amount in the betting box, but is left at 0 instead.

plz get the program support the shiny theme on stars, thx!

It needs to be 'almost' black, but not pure black (hex# 000000). Here is one that is hex# 0F0F0F that seems to work fine. I tried hex# 050505 and was getting preset raise amounts of 0.00.

Tyler · 05-19-2009, 11:46 PM

that fixed it!

Tyler · 05-20-2009, 01:00 AM

There should be an option for PSC to automatically take a seat for you like table ninja has.

edit: are there any AHK's out there that can do this for u?
