???? Help?

When you install autohotkey it's ask you if you want install the "script compiler".
After you just right click the ahk files and you have the option "compile script".

Do you have the latest version of autohotkey
http://www.autohotkey.com/download/

thanks

maybe in next version i'll include an exe as well

any ETA on this?

hey thanks, but do I need a degree in computer science to get this working?

cliff notes on how o get it going on FTP? It keeps talking about PS, even though i checked the FTP box. Thanks

how do set up the 'grid'?? thanks

it only uses the stars table to read the table size, it uses that size to automatically set up the grid (so make sure you use a stars table size that is same as your FTP tables), once that is complete, then it asks for FTP setup to grab the fold color. did you click setup and follow the directions? tell me where you are having problems

no sorry. it takes about 3 minutes to make the exe, but it takes the same time for you to download AHK. and then you'll also be able to run other scripts as well, so i dont understand the problem

i will be making some changes for easier setup (hopefully) and grid configuration, but it might take some time since my priorities are spending time with my gf over the holidays instead of working on this

i just dont use AHK script. seems pointless to have to download a program to run another program. and its confusing.

true fair enough, but let me tell you one reason to do it: running programs as .exe, you don't know what code they contain. if you follow internet poker, you will know that many people are getting hacked and having their passwords stolen. when you run .exes theres no way to know what kind of software you are running. using an open source program like an AHK script, you and others can view the code and confirm that its legit. i could make you an exe, and install a virus or keylogger or malware, and your passwords could be compromised

but ok, for people who are more trusting, i'll include the .exe in the next version

you could put one in a AHK and i would have no clue as far as looking at the code. but i guess people on here would find something like that. also i only play on fulltilt and i have a security key. i doubt a keylogger would do anything.

i could install a backdoor and that notifies me of your IP and then i could just take over your system or view your holecards, etc. there are many, many security issues, not only keyloggers, especially for poker players. even with your security key, if i get your email password, i am on my way to disabling the key on your account. we are a huge target because we have huge amounts of money online.

with open source, people can verify the legitimacy. with built exes you have to trust the source. if mozilla infected firefox, lots of people would be screwed. but mozilla is open source, and people trust mozilla. you have to place your trust somewhere. i surely dont trust random poker apps. tableninja has lots of users, what if the guy who made it is a hacker/scammer? he could lead people on and then in 6 months time when he has a big userbase, start doing malicious things. who knows. maybe you only have a few dollars online. security key is a step in the right direction though

Downloaded Autohotkey and StackAndTile-v1.15.ahk ,what next ?

installed the Athkey and the run script ,i didn't knew how to setup the grind, and i can't see if this is working or not,pls i need some guidence step bye step.

did you click the Setup Grid button? it walks you through what it needs

greg, any movement w/ the whole "new table pops up in random places" issue?


FWIW, I tested out a theory last night...

I have two different "layouts" that I have saved for FT tables. They look like the following:

7513 1357
8624 & 2468


I thought that since I had the first one setup, that was causing the tables to pop up on top of the stack and, basically, on the right monitor (vs just the next open slot). Well, I tried it w/ the latter one (in this case, the stack would be in the "5" spot, whereas in the first one, it would be in the "1" spot) and the same thing was happening, so what this tells me is that the issue has nothing to do w/ our saved layouts inside of FT. I was really hoping it would as simple as changing the layout you (the person using the ahk) use, but unfortunately, no dice. *sigh*

I really want to use this too, as I really think that I'd be able to get so many more hands in vs my current layout, but until that's fixed, no can do.

No rush, just asking if you've had any progress on this. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Yes i click that. So this is what is happening :

i start autohotkey then i run the script i downloaded from here .Previous to that i tiled 4 tables on my 22 inch monitor ( 12/34) ,i then close tables 2,3,4 and run setup grid on table 1 ,then i click start and i begin to open tables and manualy resize tables to fit the grid .Ok so after i open 7-8 tables ,the thing is that i always have the 4 slot grid full,even if i click the "F3" fold and re-stack it inserts another table in the specific slot even if i don't have action on that (midle of a hand where i folded) ,is this how this sdript works ?or i configure it wrong?




(sry for bad english)

ok so its set up correctly, its recognizing the correct table size, and set up 4 slots like you wanted. that much is good.

i think i know why tables are staying in the slots. when you manually resize the tables to fit the grid, they might be *slightly* different from the size you used during setup. and then if you are using "detect all in" setting, it will see the wrong pixel color. i will think about how to fix this table size problem in future version

for now, heres what you can do, step by step, to make sure all your stars tables are the same size. tile 4 tables on stars. close 3 of them. then click on "view menu in lobby, then click on "save custom layout". name it something like "mytablesize". then click the "help" menu in lobby, and then click "open my settings folder". find the "user.ini" file and open it. at the bottom you should these lines:

[Layout]
mytablesize=0,0,560,414

now your numbers will be different. thats ok. all you need to do now is copy those 4 numbers many times, with a space between each. so if i were to copy mine for 12 tables, it would look like this:

[Layout]
mytablesize=0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414 0,0,560,414

notice how after each copy there is a blank space 0,0,560,414_0,0,560,414_0,0,560,414

once you're done copying, save the file, and close pokerstars. then reopen it. go to "view" menu in lobby and make sure your "custom layout: mytablesize" is checked. what you've just done is make sure that all your tables will be the same size, and they will be on top of each other. thats ok. then run setup again, then try starting the program.

tyvm greg ! that helped alot.

sorry man, been busy with life. i appreciate your help, and your testing will help me once i get around to it. i have some more ideas planned to make this whole thing more user friendly.

i'm still not completely clear on the problem here. so you have ftp layouts that automatically put tables in slots, without the use of StackAndTile? if so, it sounds like ftp is just opening the table into your saved layout position. or is it opening at some random spot, and then StackAndTile is moving it into a slot on top of another table?

i'm not familiar with ftp layouts. if you have ftp layout:
1357
2468

then, (without StackAndTile, just plain old ftp), when you start opening tables, ftp will put them in those slots in order? first table opens upper left, second table opened underneath, etc? if so, you might be having conflicts with ftp layout and StackAndTile's grid.

what i mean is this. lets say you are using ftp layout i gave above, and StackAndTile grid:

7512
8634

and playing 4 tables, and you are on waitlist on two tables. all 4 tables there are no aciton so they are in the stack in slot 1 (in StackAndTile). you get a seat at the new table, ftp detects it as the 5th table open, and puts it in ftp layout 5 position (which is same as StackAndTile grid 1 - on top of your stack). then when you get a seat on the other table, ftp detects it as your 6th table open, moves it into ftp layout 6 position (same as StackAndTile grid 3)

that is, if i'm understanding this ftp layout thing correctly. to test this, open 8 tables and move them all on top of each other in the middle of one monitor, then save this as a third ftp layout. then run StackAndTile. play 4 tables and get on a waitlist, and see what happens when you get the seat

um, when I try to run it I get a message "error at line 397." what's going on?

i dont know whats going on

Greg, good news. That appears to be the issue. It's that the layout in FT was conflicting w/ S&T.

I went ahead and stacked at random 8 tables on my left monitor, then saved it as a test layout. Then closed those tables. Then joined 4 tables and started the ahk. I then joined a ton of waitlisted tables, and when I clicked "yes", they opened (at least the first 4) where the layout had them (ie. on the left monitor where I had the test layout). Obviously, once I had a total of 8 tables opened, then it started randomly placing the tables between the two monitors, but that is/was due to the layout that I saved being only for 8 tables. If I did it for 16, it'd be a non-issue.

Well, damn, I'm sorry I wasted your time, but at least we figured this out, next time someone has the same issue

The only thing left, then, imo, is that I'm playing around w/ whether I like it where the ahk kicks the tables out into slots preflop or on the flop. There is something I noticed when I have it set for kicking them out to slots on the FLOP.

Obviously, when it's preflop, the tables stay in the stack and I can just power thru my hotkey folding the majority of hands. But while doing this, the seems to be a moment of...well, I don't know how to describe it. It's like it flashes to another table for a split second after clicking the hotkey. Not a huge thing, just a graphical thing is all. Have you seen this?
