Hi LikeAA,
I am impressed about the changes you made. Great work! With the hotkey I can change back and forth fast between 2x2 or 3x2 table lay out.
I (multi table sng player) tried 888Caption2 for a while now and checked all the functions from your program that are important to me. If I may I have several suggestions starting with the most important ones. Hopefully you have the time and skill to work some of the suggestions out. Just to be clear I like your program very much as it is but it could be even better
1) Starting with the table sorting. You have fixed this as mentioned above and it works much better now, but not perfectly yet. If tournament A starts and tournament B starts a few seconds later they switch back and forth a few times while playing. This happens when tournament A is in a hand and the blinds will go up the next hand but at the tournament B the blinds already went up because the hand finished earlier. When the next hand starts at tournament A the tournaments will switch again in position. This happens a few times within 10 minutes. The visual translucent transitions are costing energy.
Would it be possible that your sort function works the same as 888 tile function? Tournament that is running for the longest is always 1st in line (slot 1). The tournament that is running for the 2nd longest is always 2nd in line (slot 2) etc.. Perhaps you do not even need to sort based on blind level but only on tournament time run. This would work for me but in case this does not work for other players you can add this feature next to the current sorting method. So players can choose which works for him or her.
2) With sng registrator on the lobby cannot minimize to taskbar. You mentioned earlier it needs to be this way because it does update auto or something like that. Do you have a work around for this? I would like the lobby be minimized because even in the edge of my screen it is in the way because I have a table there. Every time sng registrator is registering for a tournament the lobby is showing in the edge because it is brought to the foreground on top of my table. Secondly when I have the lobby in the middle of the screen and I want to check which players registered to a tournament it is not showing right away because the lobby is brought to foreground again and it is blocking the view of the tournament table with the list of registered players. I have to manually select the tournament table on the taskbar to make it pop up to the foreground.
3) When deactivating (by removing the checkmark at active) sng registrator you cannot unregister the tournaments directly through the lobby. However, you can unregister when you open the lobby of the specific tournament and press the unregister button there. Is this a bug?
4) Can you please add at the sections dialogs the following ones:
'Cards will be dealt to you shortly good luck'
'You have been unregistered from tournament x'
I do not want to use the auto accept all messages because I want to see in which position I have ended.
5) When sng registrator is not active I get the message 'You succesfully registered to tournament x' . When sng registrator is active I do not get this message. Is this a bug? I have checked tournament registration in section dialogs. Believe this is only happening when you press the register button at the lobby of the specific tournament.
6) What is 'auto close tournament after x seconds when finished' ? I have this enabled but when I am out a tournament this is not closed after x seconds it remains visible unless I click the x in the upper right corner myself.
7) With 888caption on I am having trouble to see chip amount of a player that is sitting out. When I go over the player name the amount is showing for like 0.1 sec. To fast to read. Can you fix this?
8) I have set space as hotkey. When I am typing in player notes I cannot use space sometimes. Is there a work around for this?
9) Can you prevent messages from showing at all? Message like registration that are now auto pressed are still showing in the screen for a split second. Can you prevent these message from showing at all? Would be great if you could add such a feature.
10) What is attach delay in option? You can set it to x seconds. If it is set on 5 sec does this means when I press active at sng registrator it takes 5 seconds before it will start registering?
11) Noticed you have added the function pop up table when it is my turn. How is this function different from the one at the 888Poker software?

Hello LikeAA,
I am happy with your program 888Caption2 and I bought it a few days ago.
Look forward when you have time to look into question 1 and 2 above.
As for question 3 your program does not unregister at all. The unregister and stop all button does not work. Yes it stops registering new tournaments but does not unregister the current tournaments that are already registered. Even worse you cannot unregister yourself through the main lobby as it does not react. You can only unregister by opening the tournament lobby of every specific tournament you are registered for and press the unregister button there. Hope you understand what I mean this seems like a real problem especially for new customers that do not know about this.
Not sure if you have understood my question 4 because we are talking about two different things. In the beginning of every tournament it starts with a standard message 'Cards will be dealt to you good luck' . It would be very helpful for me and other users if you can add this in your program under section dialogs so your program will auto click it for us (if we choose to enable it). Currently you have a bunch of other dialogs there like 'tournament registration' and 'you have won x amount' etc. Please add it there as well as 'you have been unregistered from tournament x'.
After playing this week I also have three new questions/suggestions:
a) The auto click I am back now for tournaments works 9 out of 10 times. Somehow it does not work always. Any idea how to improve?
b) Every time I start your program it starts at the section betscript. It does not remember the last section I have been at before closing the program. I prefer it starts at the section SNG registrator because I have been there before last time existing the program. When I start your program I want it to start at section SNG registrator because last time used. Can you add such a remember feature?
3) The activation for tables works every time but not always until I have clicked something. Sometimes the activation stops (and does not come back) before I have pressed bet/fold etc.. Maybe it is interrupted by another table that has activation on it? Can you make sure the activation remains active until I have performed an action on the hand like bet or fold?
Like your program very much keep up the good work

Hi, rakegrinder
1. Ok, I'll try to do it.
2. I'm not sure that's possible. Sorry.
Maybe in the future I will be able to do something, but it is unlikely it will be soon.
3. When you click this button - are all registered tournaments displayed in the lobby at this point? If you switched to another tab, this button will not work.
All tournaments in which you are registered, should be displayed in the current tab of lobby when you click this button.
4.
AFAIK at the end of SnG you see this dialog:
It has two buttons, not one. And 'Auto accept all one-button dialog' will not close it, because it closes dialogs with only one button. So you can use this option.
a) I'll try to check it.
b) Ok I'll think about it.
3) What kind of activation are you using? Acitve table slots in table manager, or 'Options / Popup table whenever action is required', or 'Pop up the game window' in 888 settings"?
1. Ok, I'll try to do it.

Hello,
Using the 888caption2 for some time now and very happy. Now I am expanding a bit further than the basics and have a problem. I want to add some custom bet boxes. While on the table on sitout I am making them. All seems good, only then when I start playing the buttons dissapear?! And then when I unclick and click 'Hud: Active' they appear again? Only to leave again while still in preflop
Please assist
EDIT; RESOLVED; running as admin
