HUD Free, open source poker tracking software: FPDB - (Version 0.40.5) - Nov 14, 2013 - Page 155 - Poker Software -- Two Plus Two Poker Forums

Hey guys, This is becoming a great project, congrats to FPDB team!

I am using fpdb-0.20.904anyCPU on Vista and it's running very smoothly, should i update?

.904 had some pretty serious bugs, but i'm not sure if .906 had an anyCPU version released. I'm sure .906 has some pretty serious bugs too, but hopefully it is becoming more stable and release worthy.

There were some database and config changes between those versions, so you would need to recreate your database, re-import hands, and potentially re-configure your setup again.

makes PFR green below 20 and orange above 35

hudcolor="#98FFB0" hudprefix="" hudsuffix="" popup="default" row="1" stat_name="playername"

I'm guessing hudcolor is the default color when not pat the HI/LOth value. There is no way to get more than 3 colors right?

From looking at [hudprefix="" hudsuffix=""] in something else it looks like it will just add whatever text you enter like PFR to label the stat.

This should be added to the wiki, along with whatever explanation of opacity. Maybe I will do it when I actually make sure how this works.

We agree. There have been a couple of attempts to put together this sort of information. It has been a moving target, but it should be documented.

http://****************/apps/mediawik...etting_Started

http://****************/apps/mediawik...itle=Howto_HUD

The second page is part of the information you are looking for, but recently a HUD configurator was also released, and useful stuff like changing opacity, foreground and background color is also missing from the page.

If you'd would like to post your experiences, i'll make sure that they are posted to the appropriate sections.

Edit:
- No there isn't a way to get more than 3 colours.
- loth = low threshold hith = high threshold
- hudprefix/suffix are for adding stat labels
- Opacity is the transparency of the stat windows a value between 0 and 1

Is there any sort of reward for doing translations?

Any users who want to contribute by adding to the wiki are welcome, especially on these pages like setting up the HUD. (The HUD colors thing could have its own page.)

So if you want to contribute to the wiki:

Make a free account on sourceforge.
PM me your sourceforge user name.
Wait a couple of hours (longer if I'm travelling).

I would like to open up the wiki to anyone who has a sourceforge account, but we would get spammed to death. Wiki is here, BTW.

I think draw games will import and that you can see stats in the stats viewer and graphs, etc. Some of us made an effort to get that much draw support going. You probably won't see some of the stats, like those related to stealing and you won't starting hand info.

I can't think of any reason that the HUD won't be OK with draw games, but I could be wrong about that. Let me know if it isn't coming up.

We're talking about draw on Stars, right. I'm pretty sure we don't have draw support for any other site.

If you have HHs that aren't importing or draw HHs from a site other than Stars and you're willing to share those HHs with us, send me a PM.

Stats and steals should work almost the same as holdem. HUD should work fine.

I can implement Draw support for any site, I just need hand histories.

Your explanation of most of the stuff in the hud stat field is correct.

Here's an example from my config

Code:

		<stat click="tog_decorate" col="0" hudcolor="#98FFB0" hudprefix="" hudsuffix="" popup="default" row="0" stat_name="playername" tip="tip1"> </stat>
		<stat click="tog_decorate" col="1" hudcolor="#009E9A" hudprefix="(" hudsuffix=")" popup="default" row="0" stat_name="n" tip="tip1"> </stat>
		<stat click="tog_decorate" col="2" hudprefix="" popup="default" row="0" stat_hicolor="#40F000" stat_hith="0" stat_locolor="#FF5000" stat_loth="0" stat_name="totalprofit" tip="tip1"> </stat>

click, popup, and tip are all as far as i know, not used, or if they are, there's nothing else to use them for besides their original setting currently.

hudcolor = normal foreground color, stat_hicolor = color to use when stat is above stat_hith, stat_locolor = color to use when stat is below stat_loth.

hudprefix = text to put in front of stat, hudsuffix = text to put behind stat

If I remember correctly, this is basically what the default HUD in PT3 looked like --

PlayerName (number hands) NetProfit
VPIP PFR AF

I found this other post by Era.. when I was trying to figure out the last thing, changing the number of decimal places. It covers a lot of the stuff just gone over.

I'll try to get around to updating the wiki, because it is a worthy cause, but I am fairly bad at programming and I have another proprietary formula thing I need to solve for my business ATM too...

These are my suggestions/feature requests for now though.

1. Fold to 3-bet stat.

2. Ability to set at least 5 colors for stat ranges. If I had these two, I wouldn't even use HEM most of the time, because I often play NLHE MTT's along with mixed game cash.

3. Change the ridiculously huge Menu square to something like a 16x16 icon, preferably with the option to move it to some area of wasted space. I'd be happy to design one.

I haven't played around with opacity at all yet, but I am praying that it works on the menu block. I'm going to try 0 opacity and the slick theme on a plain black background, to try to get everything fitting nicely. If I am satisfied with it I will put up a guide on the whole thing in wiki.

4. Fix the default mucked card positions. I pasted in the user-contributed code over my 9-man table settings, saved, killed HUD, restarted FPDB several times and have no clue why it is still off.

Last thing, I understand now how to chop the decimal places off stats, but is there any way to truncate the username "stat", like HEM does? I'm just going to drop it for now, but the second most unnerving thing "out of the box" was player names causing various box widths.

That's not going to work like you think. The opacity is not just for the background of the HUD stat windows, it is the entire stat window. So a opacity of zero will make everything, including the text, invisible.

You can change the text on the menu thingie in the config file in the hud_ui element. The default looks like this:

Code:

    <hud_ui 
    stat_range="A" 
    stat_days="90" 
    aggregate_ring_game_stats="False" 
    aggregate_tourney_stats="True" 
    aggregation_level_multiplier="3" 
 
    hero_stat_range="S" 
    hero_stat_days="30" 
    aggregate_hero_ring_game_stats="False" 
    aggregate_hero_tourney_stats="False" 
    hero_aggregation_level_multiplier="1" 
 
    label="FPDB Menu - Right-click 
Left-Drag to Move" 
    />

Just change it to label=" O " or something.

The layout info for the mucked cards is in the "Flop_Mucked" element near the bottom. Here's what mine looks like:

Code:

        <aw card_ht="42" card_wd="30" class="Flop_Mucked" deck="Cards01.png" module="Mucked" name="mucked" opacity="0.7" timeout="5">

The 6 and 9 handed layouts are for Full Tilt and the 10 handed for Stars (I think).

Are you looking for 5 levels of colour in stat ranges, or the ability to have different stat ranges for different gametypes?

Change it in config.

If i was to guess, i'd say you were editing the wrong config file.

Please note - one of the major issues at the moment is that the mucked card display uses the same positions for all sites

I thought we were already truncating the name. One of the devs def took the time tom implement it. I'll see if I can't revive it.

HEY guys i've been running FPDB for a month or so now and i really appreciate it and it works great for the vast majority of the time however ive encountered a few issues that i would like to tell you guys about.

First of all, i recently had trouble getting FPDB to open and run....after a month with zero problems, I would open the program up only for it to give me an error message before shutting down. I never saved it but it was something about HUDcache....i ended up just reinstalling the newer version you guys had just released in an attempt to fix the problem but to my suprise, i was getting the exact same error and message. after skimming through the thread, i decided to just delete my config file and VOILA it worked again...although i did have to reconfigure my preferred seats/hand directory and such again. if i get the error again, ill make sure to take a screen shot or post the exact error message!

the other issue i am experiencing may not be a problem but rather a preference issue....although the folded hand replay thing is pretty cool(the feature that shows what cards were dealt and mucked on your table instead of you having to go into hand replay to see), but i think it causes more headaches than its worth, atleast for me! it REALLY slows down the HUD and my computer feels like its freezing especially when i am multi tabling like 4+ tables....is there a way to disable this? its caused me to fold AA and stuff because it makes opening up tables impossible while its spazzing out!! i will do whatever is necessary even if i have to remove some files or lines of code or something....if not its OK but i figured i'd let you guys know and see what you think!

and last but not least, i am wondering if there is a problem with the HUD resizing or something?!?!? when im playing i usually multi table(usually 6-12 tables) and prefer to have my tables tiled so that i can see everything thats going on. however once i get past the 6 table mark, if i go to tile them they of course, automatically resize into a smaller size in order to fit on my screen....however, the HUD does not do so, and i will have random stat windows all over my screen on the wrong tables and such....the HUD stat windows are also too large even if i end up dragging them over into the proper location and it makes it near impossible to see opponents cards, stack size, etc....maybe i am missing something here?!?!

also i was reading above and saw something about being able to change the opacity of the HUD stat windows??? where and how do i do this? ive tried messing with it under the preferences tab and then going under pokerstars and i see Hudopacity?? what value would u guys recommend if this is the correct place to change it? i messed around with it before but never saw any changes?!?! right now its on 1,
thanks guys u have been a ton of help in the past and hopefully i can get these issues worked out as well!

I run my opacity at 0.8 I can still see it clearly, but I can see somewhat behind the cards. You may prefer 0.7

It's in this section in the config file... I like bigger font, so I went to "9" .... for what you want, "7" might be better and "Arial"

I was wondering on how to set this up with carbon poker they do not seem to allow you choose a folder to save your hand histories. When I link in the auto-import hud to carbon history folder the hud pops up but does not work properly. For example after say 50 hands all other players will have all 0% for every stat.

Is there a proper way to set this up so that this doesn't?

hey guys,

awesome that everyone is working so hard on this. i've just started playing 8game, and am really just looking for a way to track all of my results in one program. will this program do that for me?

I'm pretty computer ******ed...i have installed the program, and tried playing around with it a little bit, but im having issues finding everything i need. Would anyone be willing to help me set this up so its more functional for me?

Im on a pc, running windows7. really appreciate any help!!

OK, I've never actually seen Win7 in action, but you should be able to download the exe version, run the exe to install and be good to go. That works on the WinXP virtual machine that I have set up for testing. You will have the example configuration, but that is good enough to see if it is working.

After you have run the exe to install, start fpdb and just select Bulk import from the Import menu. Then navigate to the folder where you have some hand histories stored and bulk import a few. (Make sure you select the site filter that corresponds to the site you are importing.) Then you should be able to go the the ring player stats window and see some stats.

If that is OK, you should be able to get the HUD. If Carbon does something like puts the HHs in a different subfolder for every day, make sure you select the folder that contains those subfolders when you are selecting the folder to autoimport from.

It is also possible the HUD is not recognizing the client windows. If that is the case, we can fix it.

Just get rid of the aux="mucked" bit in the config file as shown below:

Code:

    <supported_games>

        <game aux="mucked" cols="3" db="fpdb" game_name="holdem" rows="2">

okay thanks so i should delete everything you've shown above from my config? making sure u didnt mean just that first part in red.

also i know it would be hard to say without u sitting at my computer, but does this sound more like a performance issue with my desktop or is this just a problem with using the HUD for multi tabling(again above 6 tables....6 or less and its not really much of an issue...). i'm using a REALLY old desktop from 2002 heres some of the stats lol:

Microsoft Windows XP
Home Edition
Version 2002
Service Pack 3

HP Pavillion
AMD Athlon XP 3000+
2.17 GHz, 512 MB of RAM

This is going to be a killer. I just cleaned up a friend of mine's HP running XP with 512 ram and that is just not enough memory. You can't have ANYTHING else running when you are playing poker or it will take you down to a crawl. If possible, it's probably running 2-256ram chips, upgrade it (probably the most the motherboard will handle) to 2-512ram chips, or bigger if it will take it... I doubt it will, but that will up your speed tremendously.

i fixed the opacity issue and changing the font size makes the HUD player stat windows smaller so if i can just take care of these memory problems.....

Eratosthenes had this covered, but it is a FAQ:

The HUD currently doesn't support resizing. It turns out this is a harder problem then you'd think. The resizing part is pretty easy, properly detecting when you should resize but not crash when the window disappears is harder. The PokerStars client doesn't actually resize under linux either.

I know there were a couple of patches for this around, but none has been included yet.

As Eratosthenes said - can you test bulk-import on a couple of cash files, then look to see if you have any data in the Player Stats view, or the Graph viewer.

During Bulk-Import FPDB can also consume large amounts of memory. There is often a trade-off between memory used and speed, and at the moment FPDB picks speed every time.

Databases are also notorious for consuming as much memory as they can.

Dog is also running the memory gobbler labeled 'Vista', so take his comments with a grain of salt.

Quite a while ago we had a report of successfully running 24 tables on a machine with 256Mb RAM. No mucked cards, and a minimalist Linux system, but that was still pretty impressive.
