Thanks for the interest, I've completed the first (and probably last as i am very lazy) version of this simple free mod. It converts table stack sizes and bets to Big Blinds. Very useful if you multitable multiple limits.
Here it is in action (note the new version no longer affixes 'bb' to the stack sizes)
There are few minor features I want to add and slight text alignment issues, but it is completely useable in its current form and should work on all ipoker clients.
FAQ
Q: How does this work?
A: Uses api hooks (Easyhook library) to detect when the poker client draws text to the pokerwindow, intercepts the function, checks if it drawing text that corresponds to money to a table, determines the value of the bigblind on that table and converts the money value to big blinds and passes this new text to the window before the client draws it. It is written to be as lightweight as possible and
only attaches to the pokerclient so only text drawn by the pokerclient is monitored.
Q:My antivirus says this is trying to do dodgy stuff! WTF man?
A: This is unsurprising as any software that tries to hook into another program will (rightfully) trigger alarms). The program only attaches to the ipoker client, and only detects command that draw to the window.
Q:How can i trust this program not to steal my monies / transmit hole cards or just generally screw me over?
A:If you just download the executable then you simply have trust me that nothing malicious is going on. Trust isn't easy over the internets, but I can assure you this software does nothing else but faithfully convert $$$ to bb's in ipoker clients.
Q:What if I still don't trust you?
A:
You are free to download the source code, check it and compile it yourself. (While impractical for most, it really is the only alternative)
It is written in C# very short and reasonbly well commented. It needs the Easyhook library (which is included) but can be downloaded seperately (just google Easyhook). Feel free to improve it, steal all ideas and make your own version or whatever it all fine by me.
How to use:
I just wanted this to be as simple a program as possible so it is unlikely i will add fancy features to it anytime soon, but if u find any bugs in it then let me know and I will fix them when i can.
Simply run the program with your poker client open and press start.
The first time you run it depending on your antivirus software you may have to OK a few things.
I advise you test it out on a few 2NL tables and play an orbit or two to make sure it is working properly on your PC. (It won't work on play money tables)
It works perfectly fine for me but I obviously cannot test every scenario.
Note if you use the textbox to type bets in then unfortunately you need to type the bets in
table amounts NOT Big blinds(which is obviously completely impractical).
If you use the scroll wheel or bet pot apps then you shouldnt have a problem, but again test first before you play your standard game as it may conflict with certain betpot functionality.
It is possible to improve the program to allow textbox input in big blinds and have the program convert it to the correct value but I never use the textbox to type bets so it isn't an issue for me and if there is enough requests I will look into it when i have time, but i cannot imagine multitable grinders typing in bets :/
Hope you find it useful
