baztalkspoker, for now there is only one way to configure it - Table manager config with miniatures (see Stack 22 config there as an example). In this mode there is only one table on a screen (all other tables are behind the edge of screen so they have no chance to pop up). Options / Popup table whenever action is required works with this mode, so you can use it with auto activation.

Without auto activation there are two different modes - you can activate tables by click on miniature (Activate by click is enabled), and activate tables by hovering on miniature (and in this mode Activate time option works - table can be activated immediately or with some delay, and you can specify this delay here).

Thanks once again for your quick reply. Actually started trying out with miniatures today, and noticed a big improvement. It's still happening occasionally where my action goes on the wrong table.

What settings do you think work best?
At the moments I have all of the following checked
Popup table whenever action is required
Mouse jump to table
Forced reactivation
Table under mouse bring to foreground

When you say can be activate immediately or with some delay, where exactly can I set this delay? And might setting a delay prevent misclicks?

Is there any need to set up/turn off specific options on Party?

On stars caption - is there a setting so any stars popups on a table (labels, notes, background etc) are in front of the stars caption HUD?

I think this:
Popup table whenever action is required - on
Mouse jump to table - off
Forced reactivation - off
Table under mouse bring to foreground - off
Activate by click - on

As for delay - I mean Table manager / Activate time option. But if you will have Activate by click enabled, then this option will not work (it works with activate by hover mode only, but with auto activation you don't need to activate tables manually).

There is no way to do something on Aurora table higher than any HUD, because all these pop ups are not separate windows how it was in old graphics engine. It's the same as trying to do board cards or Fold button higher than HUD.

StarsCaption has an option for tooltips - Layout editor / Move elements / Show Aurora tooltip in HUD popup (PokerStars client must be configured to run as admin for this option). This option does as you need for tooltips, but in fact it hides an original Aurora tooltip and draws the same text in a separate window.

Maybe I'll do something like this for note selection dialog too, but this is a little more complicated. For now you can use Layout editor / Move elements / Table elements / Player note menu to move a menu to some predefined position (you can choose a table place without any HUDs, and this menu will appear there).

@LikeAA thanks once again, on the Activate time option, is that in seconds?

This got me thinking, is there any way to put a time gap between opening new tables. As I'm attempting to play 6 or more spins simultaneously now, I'd prefer if several were not opening one after the other, as it increases the possibility of a time-out. Is there some way to stagger the opening of new tables, and if not could you consider adding this option please?

Also, I'm noticing that the cursor doesn't always show up straight away when new table is activated when 'Table under mouse bring to foreground' is not checked.

Apologies all the posts, but can't edit the previous one after 30 minutes. I've played around with the settings but no matter what I seem to do, I still seem to misclick and that's usually costing me a lot of chips. The main reason seems to be that sometimes my action doesn't seem to work the first time on the table, so I do it more than once, unfortunately some times the click goes to the following table. How can I avoid this?

Hi,

I bought Stars Caption through Hand2Note Pro Tools on Thurs 11th and still haven't had my licence key. I emailed on Friday about it - any chance you can nudge whoever need to issue it so I can stop playing 10NL?

Cheers

baztalkspoker, Activate time is in milliseconds.
I'll try to think about delay between open of new tables.

If you mean a mouse cursor, then try to enable Options / Test options / Force muse cursor to show.

No, these hotkeys will not work in this mode.

How exactly does this happen?
Do you click action buttons by mouse or use hotkeys?
At what point does the table change? If you have configured everything correctly, then it should not change until the action is completed.

Hi
Oh sorry for this, I just found your email with License ID (it was not in the order on the site)
Your license has been activated, sorry for the problem.

Thanks for the info. Yes, I meant mouse cursor, I've tried so many different combination of settings, can't recall when it wasn't showing, I think I had Force mouse cursor show though, anyway, right now it's not an issue for me anymore.

I use a combination of buttons and hotkeys. The issue seems to occur less when I have fewer tables open. It's like sometimes there is a delay between the hotkey/button click working, sometimes it doesn't work at all, and I have to click a second time, but unfortunately some times, what results is the first click did actually work, and the second click goes to the table that follows. I have tried delaying my second click just in case the first one actually did work, but errors are still occuring.

I was wondering if it was a problem with my computer or my graphics card itself, and/or also my HUD. I had lots of panels on my HUD. I am now testing with a totally blank HUD and just using hotkeys, so far it looks hopeful, but I need to test it a bit more.

Is there anyway of delaying auto activating the following table for 1 or 2 second to prevent this, just in case going HUDLESS doesn't solve the problem?

I am now using an almost empty HUD and it greatly reduces the lag and resultant clicking on the wrong table as I outlined above. I haven't misclicked in the few hours since my last reply, and have only experienced the need to click more than once on a couple of occasions.

Any ideas why having a HUD with lots of panels might cause this issue, does it make the computer/graphics card work too hard or require a solid internet connection?

baztalkspoker, unfortunately I have no idea why it might be.

Enabling of Table under mouse bring to foreground does not affect it?

03-15-2021 , 07:39 PM
@LikeAA OK thanks, No whether that is checked or not, doesn't seem to make a difference. Having a minimal HUD seems to make a big difference though. I just have player nicks and time to act now, and use my gamepad for actions. Almost works perfectly.

@LikeAA, just so I'm clear, in the miniatures you don't get to see the actual action in the table unless it's the active table, right?

Right.
This showed up before, but after some changes in Windows or in the poker client (I'm not sure where exactly) it stopped working this way.

If I use enter as hotkey for bet/raise in StarsCaption I am unable to send messages in chat. Is there solution for this?

@LikeAA Thanks for your replies to my previous posts.

@PartyCaption. I've had a few timeouts while trying to multi table spins, was thinking it could be a good idea to pause the spins registrator when a table's remaining timebank drop belows some threshold, would you consider adding this option?

Is there any way to fire hotkeys without table under mouse? Just getting used to this software and haven't been able to finds this yet. Basically just want to be able to use hotkeys on active table without moving my mouse.

Also, is there a way for to focus bet box? So I just type number and it automatically types it in bet box? Thanks.

You can use Ctrl+Enter or Shift+Enter to send messages.
Or move mouse to any screen place without table under it, it disables all table hotkeys.

I'll try to think about it.
For now you can try to mark tables with low time bank by Mark the table 2 hotkey, and use the option Pause registrator when / One of tables marked by Mark the table 2 hotkey.

1. No, but you can use Options / Popup table whenever action is required + Mouse jump to table, and mouse will moved automatically to activated table, so you will be able to play without a mouse.

2. There are two options for this:
Options / NumPad input activates the bet box
Options / 0-9 keys activate the bet box
