thank you, i went to that directory and have the folder extracted on my desktop, but that is as far as i can get. i am running xp. when i click on the fpdb.7y link under the directory you mentioned, i get an error msg that says the archive is either an unknown format or damaged.

Sorrow,

Have you had a chance to look and see if you can fix the "All" or "T". I sure miss not having updated player stats. I'm just hoping it is some easy fix. I've continued to try various combos, nothing. It's not even giving me the correct "S" (24 hours). I even recreated my database to see if that would help. No good. It's just random hands, the most recent ones, that it accumulates. If I do nothing and go two or more days, it appears to retain all the hands played.

But, it never matches the database when I run a report for a short time period. Anyway, sorry to bother you as I'm sure you have a busy schedule. Just miss accurate stats...

I've been away for the weekend for a wedding, and i'm still suffering the aftermath...

The fpdb codebase has gone through a bit of turmoil recently with default config changes, and the window detection code getting a cleanup.

I also broke my repository pretty badly, so I need to start over and pull back in a few recent fixes so I can update.

I'm back and i'll try and review the last few posts in the coming days.

Sorrow

Great. Glad you had a good time. FWIW, I am getting an error when the command window first loads fpdb. The error is

"Import Error: No module named _backend_gdk"

Thought I'd throw that in for you to have more fun.

And in the config file it mentions two different numbers to accomplish multi levels. In one part, it says "use 2.1" to get from one half to double the blinds. In another part, it talks about using "2", so which is it, if it makes a difference?

Okie - first user experience here from software pro, poker amateur.

I'm following the wiki page for a windows based app.

1. No where on this page does it tell me to install Python. This is listed as a requirement off the front page. It appears some posters have come unstuck with this step.
2. The page for PyLab linked does not show clearly where I can download something called "PyLab". It lists "NumPy" and "SciPy".
3. The last step "Get and Run fpdb" seems superfluous. Alse, the text "here" is not a link...
4. There is a list of Python libraries on the front page that are not listed on this page? Examples are "Gtk windowing system" and "mysql database interface"

Yes, I can imagine there is a long list of "wants", but good tight install doco will mean fewer hours spent answering posts like mine.

Similarly, all the questions answered in this thread should be in the FAQ (assuming they are still relevant for the current version). Saves on answering things twice (coz I'll read the FAQ, but not 192 pages of a thread).

Long time lurker on this thread. I still dont have the HUD configured to my liking, but the install itself was fairly painless. (Maybe I was expecting worse after reading through post after post here!)

This page is out of date and I dont think the Wiki links it directly, but it spells out the steps pretty well.

http://fpdb.****************/docs-install-windows.php

replace default.conf with HUD_config.xml in this documentation.

Also a recent bug causes fpdb to mistakenly want to use HUD_config.xml.example for it's configurations. Copy HUD_config.xml to HUD_config.xml.example (or just edit the example file to reflect your SCREEN NAME and paths to poker software . Near the very end of HUD_config.xml.example is the section that needs to be edited to allow fpdb to connect to your database.

Can anyone point me towards some documentation on configuring for SQlite or anything on how to edit the HUD? I think we may finally have a replacement for my beloved RealtimeHUD!

The clever bug that would only use the HUD_config.xml.example file has been fixed in the git tree and will show up in the next snapshot or release.

You have probably already found this wiki page that outlines how to set up the HUD. That is the best doc we have on it so far.

I had SQLite working last week, but not now. If I can figure out how to reliably use it, I'll post here. There are 2 pretty severe errors that prevent it from being useful right now: 1) the Player Stats page doesn't load, apparently because SQLite has no standard deviation function. and 2) the HUD does not display opponents' stats, only hero's. I suspect these are fairly fixable.

im getting errors after i changed hud_config.xml. no gui even loads.
db_ip = localhost , dbname=fpdb dbpass=postgresql dbserver=plzibegugimmesigns dbtype=fpdb dbuser=fpdbuser

dunno what to do from here..

got it running, i thought dbserver=dbdescription which it isn't. whether or not i can get hud + wine running is another thing + not getting owned with bad linux security

Fair point hadn't noticed that.
We use matplotlib and numpy. I've just re-read the section and consider it to be pretty clear. I think the pylab comment is legacy from a previous version of the document.
Its not actually mentioned anywhere else in the document. you are right - the link should exist.
The env installer is supposed to install these automatically.
We dont have a tight install process for windows yet. And we are _really_ hoping someone is willing to pull something together.

Attempting to keep a 'tight' install document detailing exact versions of multiple different external install files and processes is time consuming - and unfortunately of no interest to people the moment they get fpdb installed.
We really should spend more time updating the faq page.

I accept the criticisms - and am willing to accept updates to documentation via pm.

Did you actually manage to get it installed?

Sorrow

I've added the variance function now - it requires numpy though.

The PlayerStats view is still broken on to_char() and floor right now.
Similar problem - its just a couple of query updates to do with function definitions.

Sorrow

No doco for sqlite yet, still a bit broken - we are hoping to make this the default at some point so we can remove mysql/postgres as a requirement for first time users.

You can import hands, graph and probably run the broken session stats viewer.
From the last snapshot should get you started with sqlite.

Sorrow.

I'll try to help by not installing it except through rigorous adherence to the documentation. Yell when that install page gets updated, and I'll put on my "stupid user" hat and try again.

I'm happy to swing it the other way, as I have a SourceForge login and you could get me to edit the wiki, but then we'd need another anal retentive tester to grind through the install process and point out the issues with the doco.

This is a great step forward IMHO. The ultimate goal will be to get it able to sit on a USB key so that I can stick it on any PC where I might play....

I'm happy to enable writing on the wiki for you - PM me your sourceforge id.

Sorrow.

This is something I want to do with my netbook, actually, so once I'm fairly confident that the bulk of the program is working properly, i'm going to update, and then get to work on that. I do so wish I had enough time to learn all the database and gui stuff .. but I've got about 8 thousand other projects that also need my time ... sigh.

I know you guys are all just waiting for more issues to fix..

I always have played limit since fpdb has been "out". today I decided to play some pot limit Omaha08. I played some .02 and some 0.05 for about a hundred hands or so. The auto import seemed to work fine, sending the data to the fpdb which I saw in the command window. I went to "player stats" when I got done, to see the results. Under the "limits" box it had created two boxes for "2pl" and "5pl" as expected. I ran a report... nothing.. it showed no hands. I checked the HH's and picked a few other players names. As I typed them it filled them just like it should have. Ran a report, same result, no data.

It seems to have stored them. The main page of player stats has their names in the "players name" section, but the report shows nothing for that level of play. I even did a "bulk import" on my PS hh file, it said they were all duplicates. Weird.. they are there, but they aren't there.

I have edited my HUD_config.xml for 9 seat ring games on PokerStars to show the mucked cards in better positions. Here is that section for anyone interested:

- <layout height="546" max="9" width="792">
<location seat="1" x="486" y="90" />
<location seat="2" x="574" y="146" />
<location seat="3" x="626" y="221" />
<location seat="4" x="518" y="280" />
<location seat="5" x="364" y="293" />
<location seat="6" x="201" y="270" />
<location seat="7" x="111" y="217" />
<location seat="8" x="167" y="143" />
<location seat="9" x="254" y="98" />
<location common="1" x="323" y="189" />

Good luck at the tables...

Thanks for this.

I've added this too: http://****************/apps/mediawik...itle=Howto_HUD - and i'm using it myself

At the moment the config file only supports 1 mucked window layout per max-seats. We are looking at how to fix that, but probably not before the next official release.

Sorrow

Hi all,

Once again, poker room where I'm playing (Partouche : Everleaf) change its HH, so once again, I'll send you an ugly hack :

in EverleafToFpdb.py line replace line 37 by :
in EverleafToFpdb.py line 107, add
just after
Have a nice day !

How close are we to fixing some of the bugs that have popped up in snapshot 0.12?

1] Hud only displays session stats (and not even the 24 hrs that are supposed to be included).

2] While the database does import pot limit hand histories, it won't recognize them (not counting the box showing they exist in Player Stats-Limits section). No reports include any PL games/hands.

I'm sure I can't be the only person who plays PL. And, while session stats are fine for "hero", it's not enough info on opponents. I know everyone is working hard on this project, and that IS appreciated. But it seems a step backward has occurred and what was a great working program in 0.11.3 seems to have broken. I tried going backwards and reinstalling 0.11.3 and for some reason there's a conflict. Can anyone suggest anything other than just deleting all references to FPDB and reinstalling the previous version? I did try that and it seems that didn't work either.

Wasn't there a snapshot released inbetween 11.3 and 12 by someone? Where can we find that on the wiki.. Thanks

Dog

Hi Dog--

There have been quite a few changes since the last snap. The session thing in the HUD stats has been fixed. I'm not sure about pot limit, but I'll make sure that is in before the next snap (unless it is really, really ugly).

I'm pretty sure that there wasn't a snap or release between release 0.11.3 and snapshot 12. I did put in some fixes to the git tree and suggested that people who were having trouble should pull from git.

It would be a nice feature if we could choose a filter by game in that screen as well. I can live without the PL till it's fixed. I didn't know the HUD stats was fixed. Should I just download the whole 0.12 again and drag n drop it over the existing? Or, are there just a few files needed.

I went to the wiki and it doesn't show any new files since Sorrow released 0.12 back on the 9th. Please point me in the direction of where to get the HUD corrected files. BTW, is it running off of the hud_config file, or should we still "save as" to the example config file?

Thanks

Dog

I've fixed the PL problems in Graph and Stats view as of about 30 minutes ago
http://****************/projects/fpdb/files/ - The snapshots directory still has all the files. I haven't uploaded anything new, but you should be able to use the old snapshot - pre sorting.

Looking to put another snapshot out by mid next week.

Sorrow

That's great.

If it's that close, I'll wait for the new snapshot. Just too anxious on my part and want to get back to having player stats in the hud. No use going backwards when it's so close.

BTW, when the time comes, or anytime, that you need HH's for Omaha08, feel free to ask and I can donate all you need.

Earlier "Jackpotimage" contributed a 9-table setup for the mucked cards. Here's a setup for the 10-table mucked cards for the config file.
