I've heard awesome things about this but have never been able to get the buddysearch to work via Vista...

For the programming illiterates / idiots like me who have Vista, can you clarify your comments below and lay out some step by step instructions?

Thanks!


quoted: If you got Vista, you may need to copy your user.ini file to the program files\pokerstars folder for preferred seating detection to work properly (or edit the paths in the script). If you got an awkward screenname (with spaces and/or unusual characters) you may need to do some editing also if it can't find your hand history files. Post if you are having difficulties.

I am having the same problem. I am not very tech-savy, but it seems that when the name of the "buddy" is entered into the Stars search function, the Stars software does not recognize that any information has been entered. In fact, when I attempt to do a search using this ahk, the "find" button is not activated on the Stars software.

When I tried to search for a buddy using this ahk, it brought up the search function and did nothing. I clicked on the name of the buddy, went to the end of his name, and hit the space button. The "find" button was then activated, I hit find, and it worked fine.

Does anyone know how to fix the script based on what I've said?

Isn't really working with me aswell, could you really look at the script? The old one was so great, so much better.


Get the old one updated imho

dave i know you're busy but don't neglect this ))))

Bump. This script brings up the stars search window, but then seems to get stuck.

I can't even get it to bring up the search window. is this working for anyone, or just not been updated in a while?

if the latter, please updated dave! I would definitely donate for a working version of this.

Is this working yet?

Hi.

I downloaded this script today and I just copied all the stuff from the old scripts folder (except the "StarsBuddyList.ahk") and it seems to work. Right click on the icon in the tray and select "Find Buddies".

Thanks Dave

You really get this working.....I tried copying/pasting from the old file but keep getting some error saying program will exit?
Specifically at line 832 "prefseat......"

Is anyone using this. I have downloaded it, I have AHK, and I created a list of buddies with notepad. But that's where it ends for me. It's confusing, does this require the Functions like the old StarsBuddies.

Please, if anyone has this working would you post the steps I need to take to make it work.

Thanks

Make sure you have StarsBuddylist-v0.1.ahk, layout.ahk and in the same directory.

DoubleClick on StarsBuddylist-v0.1.ahk to execute it.

That's all there is to it.

I have them both in the same folder/directory, but when I double click StarsBuddylist-v0.1.ahk I get an error popup that says
" #Include file "layout.ahk" cannot be opened. "

Any idea what that's about?

Thanks

FMP.

Thanks again, but I do have all three files in the one directory
(including buddies.txt), but I still get the same error message.

I even re-downloaded the zip file and started fresh, but same problem.

If I right-click the file for Run Script the same error comes up.

Update
For what ever reason I can make it work if I open explorer and go to the directory there and double-click. But just won't work from the toolbar, every other poker program I have works from there.

Now I have another issue, and I seem to recall some posts about it here but haven't found anything yet.
It seems for some reason some of the names in my buddies.txt file have a small square box at the end of the name. This is not visible in the text file itself, but I can see it in the Find Player box as StarsBuddyList is churning away.

The names that have this square do not get picked up even though I know some are online.

Anyone familiar with what I am referring to? Please let me know how to easily edit the text file to resolve this.

Thanks

Not sure what toolbar you are talking about, but AHK looks for files in the folder, where the script was started.

I get the squares too, but I'm fairly certain, that it has no effect on the search. Some players are simply blocked from search. You can try to manually search for them, to rule out faulty script behavior.

The toolbar is the quick launch bar in XP where you can have the icons stored for various apps. Keeps the desktop cleaner.

And you are right, the end of line character does not stop it from finding players. I just checked a player that I saw had that character and he is playing now and it found him.

Thanks for the help.

Maybe you accidentally created a copy of the script in the quick launch bar instead of a shortcut. That would explain the error message.

Does anyone know how to enable a hotkey for the "pause script" option which is available in the taskbar?

(for example, hitting F9 instead of selecting the command in the taskbar with the mouse)

thanks

stick this wherever. f9 to toggle

thank you, yet when I put that code in, F9 for whatever reason opens up the Omaha game filter. perhaps I'm putting it in the wrong place?

thanks again

Can someone, Dave, you around?, tell me how to make the function work to use the Ctrl-R button thing work to add a player to the buddies.txt file?

Thanks

is this still works?

Works fine, I just can't get the "add player" to work.
You do have to have AHK installed on your computer.
