We'd appreciate any testing of the latest development version.

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

Section 5 is the key stage.

Please note, the config file has changed between the last release and the current development version, so please take the example HUD_config and replace your existing one.

A more detailed page if you plan on helping out:
http://****************/apps/mediawik..****e=Developers

That lists more of the developer repositories, ekdikeo has the most bleeding edge changes at the moment.

Sorrow.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Yes, I'm trying to import FTP Razz files that were played on July 2009 or later. I have no problem importing those played in year 2008.

Other question
I have this in my HUD config file,
hhArchiveBase="~/.fpdb/HandHistories/"
from my experience in using FPDB, FPDB seems to never move files to any achieve folder.

also in the import section, site filter: passthrough...when I change to FTPtoFPDB, the import seems to fail.

I try to git from your repo dir
git clone git://git.assembla.com/fpdboz.git
but was unable to connect....I will try again tomorrow

Thanks again!

The git version will (should) fix that problem.
The 0.11.3 version of that file hasn't been updated since the update. The git version no longer has passthrough, and will add files to the directory above.

It will _not_ move imported files from their original directories, it will create a Stars like version of the file being imported in that directory.
Make sure you aren't firewalled. When trying to clone.

It handles multiple tables very well. I have sometimes played on 24 cash tables on Pokerstars with the HUD, and performance did not suffer noticeably; you could tell that the processor was quite busy, that was all. This was on a fairly weak laptop, too.

I am a Vista user. PostgreSQL is already installed on my computer.

Can anyone give me a step by step guide how to install fpdb on Vista?

Are you saying the new importer will fix that, or that AFTER you get the new importer working, you will work on some of the stats which are not... well... FUBAR might be the appropriate description.

I'll see if I can write something up. I'm using it on Vista, but I dropped Postgre and went to Mysql and have WAY less problems. That would be my first suggestion.

Once you get the whole package download and unzipped here's some tips (non techy stuff).

Vista prefers that Python2.6 be installed in the root directory c: so when you unzip it, be sure you already set up a directory c:\Python2.6

Assuming you will switch to Mysql (I can't even remember how to install Postgre) and that you have unzipped the fpdb program to its own directory such as c:\Programs\FPDB or something similar, here's what I did.

Go to each of the directories, FPDB, Mysql and Python... right click on them. Under properties there will be a tab for "Security" you should click on that and set ALL the people listed there with "full right" by checking that box. You do each person separately.

Then... you want to make sure that all the 'exe' files, 'py' files etc that you click on "run as administrator". Also, if you create any desktop shortcuts, check those properties to make sure they are all set "run as administrator". This should only have to be done once, but it settles all the permissions that Vista seems to require..

Next (someone will correct any mistakes I do here...i'm sure)

You have to go to the FPDB directory and change some of the obvious things such as file path to your HH's, which database (postgre or mysql) that you are using, as well as the password for that database. This should get you most of the way. I'll let one of the techies jump in and correct my mistakes or add things from here.

Thanks for the endorsement there, Eleatic. I also have just recently (like 10 minutes ago) fixed a bug that was causing higher than necessary CPU usage and some other issues, for people who have 2 or more sites configured. I think I'm the only person who has more than 2 sites configured, so I might be the only person who has noticed problems like that, though Also, if your hhArchiveBase is screwey, it'll figure that out, and allow you to create/select a new one.

For another glowing endorsement, someone on IRC just pointed out that FPDB is listed as "acceptable" software to use on the PokerStars acceptable software list. \o/

Thanks, yeah your git version solve the problem

Thanks.

Using your git version, in the Player Stat section, only Hands and Rake column has data. Other column likes PFR, VPIP etc are empty.

EDIT: There are no errors output to the log file and also the DOS prompt windows.

Another problem:
Graph cannot be shown(was working OK in 0.11.3)
No errors on log file. But the following msg shown in the DOS prompt windows
Error: <lambda><261>: float<> argument must be a string or a number

Hrm - should have mentioned this - you need to recreate the tables (Database menu) or things are going to be a bit screwed up.

Have you done that already?

very cool

Thanks a lot!

This indicates that you do not have pygtk installed. If you use XP you need to run the environment installer from the sourceforge download page. If you use vista, you need to download and install the files that ekdikeo has provided here.

All the stats are getting rewritten for the new importer. Fixing problems will be a lot easier with the new importer.

I did recreate the tables (database menu)
I have just dropped my database in phpmyadmin, and create new one and recreate table from database menu. but still in the player stat section, only hand column and rake column have data. all others column are empty.

thanks for your prompt reply considering this is open source voluntary project.
thanks a lot! appreciate it!

It looks like this is a known problem with the git version at the moment for stud games, it works properly for flop games I believe.

Eratosthenes tells me that he's getting stats in the hud, but not all of the mucked cards currently too.

Tracking here http://trac-git.assembla.com/free_poker_tools/ticket/28

Sorrow

Stud games don't currently store any of that data - that's what i was talking about when the "not null" errors started coming up when sqlcoder made big changes a while back, and stud was totally broken for a while.

Thanks for the information.

Does anyone have a working config.xml they could share? You can delete your name/pass, I just need something to compare with.

I could be wrong on that, but i'm pretty sure that stud is not storing any info aside from what is in the hud stats ...

yup, HUD_config.xml.example works perfectly as long as you put your sql username/password in it

That's the thing, it's not working for me.

How would anyone rate this software, when used on a Mac, as compared to Poker Copilot for the Mac?

You dont have 'funny' charaters in your db password perhaps? "\;&' and probably a couple of others will all cause problems.

This is the latest version of the hud config http://trac-git.assembla.com/free_po...ig.xml.example

If you are using 0.11.3 I dont have a handy link

There isn't anyone actually developing this for the Mac as yet - uncooper was looking at some stuff, but its difficult to set up for very few features currently. Most notably the HUD doesn't function on the Mac yet.

Hey guys,

I just wanted to say thank you for this really nice project! The installation was rather smooth (except for me being stubborn and trying to get FPDB to work with Postgres ). Pretty cool to have a tracker which supports Stud games. I was just wondering if it would make sense to switch to a git version because of some essential bug fixes or valuable new features, or if the hassle of working with untested versions is not worth the effort for an ordinary user like me. (For the record, I just want to play Stud, Stud H/L and Razz on FTP, and maybe also Stars.)

Cheers,
ExecDec
