Hello all,

So I got a bit sidetracked trying to fix BetPot, when I realised how some of the parts enable this to be done.

I have a tendancy to get really focused on an idea once it occurs to me, so unfortunately BetPot fixes are gonna have to wait until tomorrow

So, here is a real early version of my Party Planner clone for PokerStars - StarsPlanner

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

This script Mimics the automatic table resizing and positioning found in PartyPlanner, but for Poker Stars.

You can set desired table size, and a grid for tables sppecified by height and width. Tables will fill up from the top of leftmost column downward, starting a new column when specified.

Once tables are open, they may be dragged to another "slot", swapping with the table already there if there is one (like PartyPlanner)

I have included presets for 3 common table layouts:

<ul type="square">[*]12 mini-tables, on a 1920x1200 24" widescreen monitor (default) [*]8 normal size tables, across two 20" 1600x1200 monitors[*]4 slightly smaller tables, on a single 17" 1280x1024 standard monitor. [/list]

-----------------------------------------------------------------------


As always, let me know if you have any problems / find this useful etc.

Early version seems to work great, but (as demonstrated by latest BetPot) what works for me does not always work for others lol

Enjoy,

dave.

EDIT: Changed title to be a bit more descriptive

Thanks for this. I will be checking it out soon.

Hm, question. How do I create layouts for it to use [the grid you spoke of] and also how so I save those and select between them?

Right near the top of the script (open it in notepad) you will see a section looking like this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ideal_width := 475 ; &lt;-- THIS IS CLIENT AREA WIDTH (475 is the minimum)
tables_across := 4 ; This will get you 12 mini-tables
tables_down := 3 ; good for 1920x1200 monitor, eg dell 2405fpw
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These create a grid, starting from the top-left of your primary monitor, going down by "tables_down", and across by "tables_across", using table sizes of "ideal_width" (table height is calculated, depending upon specified width).


Change these numbers to your liking, save &amp; reload the script for changfes to take effect. It should resize any tables ytou have already open, but if for some reason it does not, just closa them all and open new tables to test a layout - you don't have to sit for it to work.



I will probably make a GUI to simplify this if there is much interest.


What Monitor size / number of tables / grid layout do you have in mind - I can give you some numbers if you want?


dave.

I'm not sure yet, was going to experiment. I hadn't glanced at the code for the script yet but I will play around with it. I have 2 Dell 2005 FPWs, but typically just use the left for poker. I will likely figure out a good 6 and 9 table setup.

this has a 1680x1050 resolution, yes?

a setup such as this:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ideal_width := 552
tables_across := 6
tables_down := 2
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

should give 6 tables per screen, in a 3x2 grid per monitor, utilising the full width of these panels.

The first 6 should appear on the left monitor, providing it is the primary display.

(These numbers are a (calculated) guess) - Poker computer off now, late at night )

dave.

wow this works great on my 1280x1024 flat panel. Thanks _dave_!!!

omfg I want to give you sweet sweet (non homosexual) loving!

Awesome. I will give it a shot tomorrow morning. Thanks much!

is it possible for it to be edited to fill slots in a different order. specifically for the 8 monitor set-up, can i have it start on top left of left monitor, then go to top right on LEFT monitor. Then bottom left left monitor etc..How would I do that?

also, this thing [censored] rocks, ty.

What's the difference between this script and letting PokerStars Tile the tables and using PokerStars' "remember table positioning" option?

Thanks a lot !! Great work !

Nice work. Are you gonna fancify this?

I have two monitors, but put 12 tables on one monitor. Thus, the interface of PP worked really good for me, cause I'd want the screen to fill up like:
_______
|_1_|_2_|
|_3_|_4_|

and then 5 going under 1, etc. The built in "keep lobby" feature was useful as well.

I'd be happy to shoot you a donation for this, I'm not sure what's standard.

Don't know if this is supposed to happen but sometimes when I double click a window it swaps spots with another one. Also a window seems to swap for no reason every once in awhile (although it's possible it's getting a double click event from a click being passed through when I click to activate it)

Edit: Ok it's definitely swapping without double clicks. If I double click a few times on a window it will swap with another as well. I've been playing 2 cash tables and one tournament table on the supplied 1280x1024 layout.

A GUI would be sweet.

Thanks

Dave you are a machine. Going to give this a try now.

Just took a look at it and I think it's going to be very difficult to get this working for my layout. Dave this is probably gonna be a huge pain in the ass so don't put much effort in advising me here but this is what my layout looks like while im playing on stars: (Sorry its black and white because it was a huge file)

Basically I have 9 re-sized tables on my 30" in the middle and another 4 full sized on a 21". Any ideas? :P Maybe best to wait for a gui version that can capture and save my table setup like pplanner could?

Jahaim, Wynton:

This script is similar, but acts more like Party Planner than the built in PokerStars "Remember Table Positioning" does.

In addition to auto-resize &amp; tile tables, this script will:
<ul type="square">[*]Create a table-sized grid your tables will "snap-to", when you move them. [*]New tables always open in the lowest numbered, unused area.[*]Table Positions can be swapped, by dragging over another area[*]Put a table back in it's place should you accidentaly move one a little bit[*]Resize a table back to what it should be, should you accidentaly resize one[/list]
Try it and you will see the difference.

dave.

Mason,

I will look in to (fix) this tonight. I think I know why this happens, but I'm away from my machine right now.

dave.

man lol =) it seems u are not sng player.
to Dave: Could u please add table sorting by blinds? If it's not hard, of course. I mean tables with higher blinds goes on top slots of primary (left) monitor, with lower blinds - on right monitor. Thanks anyway .

Dave, GUI would be great. Also I am not sure if its possible to set up tables with overlay (I like playing this way) like in PartyPlanner.

Awesome job man

Yep I see the light now.

Ty.

I'm only having one problem. It seems to "fight" with the little notification box that comes up when you get seated at a sng. It won't resize/move the table until i can close out of that, which proves to be difficult since I don't have control of the mouse. I've had decent luck mashing the space bar to close it, but if anything could be done about this that would be great. Also, I'm fairly new at stars so if there's anyway to turn off those notifications, please let me know.

This is MUCH better than stars' solution, thank you.

Just popped up with a new problem which someone else may have mentioned, I just thought I'd say I'm having it too. Whenever I slide the bar over to increase bet size it swaps that table with another =\
