So myboatisfull was kind enough to spend some time screen sharing with me to figure out the problems. I think the initial issue was that he ran the HUD directly as well as from FPDB auto-import (don't do that). After that we got down to some PKR issues:
- The default config has the HUD turned off in a non-obvious way for PKR and Cake. Search your HUD_config.xml for
Code:
aux_enabled="False"
and change it to for the relevant site definition. I'll change this in the default config but that only helps new users.
- PKR HHs don't say if a table is 6-max, 9-max, whatever. So FPDB assumes 10-max (or maybe 9-max? I forget) so you get incorrect layout + empty XXX hud boxes. You can fix it by right-clicking the FPDBMenu anchor and choosing "Force layout". Should resolve itself when the next hand comes in. Unfortunately you do have to do this once for each table.
- PKR's tournament tables don't have the tournament number in their titles. So FPDB can't possibly figure out which table to put the HUD on. We did a stupid workaround by making a notepad window with the tournament number in the title but this is obviously not a good long-term solution. I could envisage a system where we prompt the user to select the window each time a new HUD is created but even if possible, it seems like a lot of work for one site that doesn't play nice.
Just a couple of notes for anyone on PKR. If anyone has ideas to fix this stuff I am all ears.
