Just downloaded StarsPlanner today. Been playing around with it. Ideally I'd like to use it for the buying in and for helping to layout tables. However, when attempting to create a layout and then have it be copied the tables come out all messed up(as others have mentioned). I'm pretty computer illiterate...what do I have to do to fix this?

you have to add the "f5redrawtable=1" line to the [options] section of PokerStars user.ini file.

do this while Stars is not running. more detailed instructions are a few posts back IIRC.

To find your User.INI -

go to the Stars Lobby > Help > Open My Settings Folder,

Then close stars so you can edit the INI

Sick tyvm...was having a hard time understanding where to find that file but found it after about 5 mins.

I just got an error from StarsPlanner saying "Too many tables" when I tried opening more than one table after adding that line. The first table comes out resized perfect though.

Add more tables to your layout than you will actually need. I would also set up a few layouts. Tiled, cascaded, cascaded-tile, etc.

I play 4 tables, and I use a '4+2 grid', with the '+2' tables being overlapped tables that I may be joining, waiting to join, or getting ready to leave from.

*Dave - any idea when you will be updating stars planner so i can quit using version d?

I set up a 12 table layout with them all tiled 3x4. Should I be getting this error when trying to open a 2nd table?

I fixed it I guess...only because I'm no longer trying to configure my own layout but just using the default. Makes no difference once all the tables are open though. So thanks for the help!

Hei!

Does it support OnGame also or has anybody tried it on Ongame network?

Cheers!

Yes. Only the layout arrangement. And you need to use stars (or notepad) to capture / create a layout.

After then, OnGame tables will snap to position like any other.

Thanks! Will try it out.

Nevermind, updated to 0.4F and it fixed it.
Thanks

omg oops I am mistaken

It is in the one on my computer, NOT in the 0.4f I uploaded to the overcards site, I somehow didn't include it.

I'll put up a new version later on tonight, sorry!

New version 0.4g is up
http://overcards.com/wiki/moin.cgi/StarsPlanner


I added OnGame layout like was supposed to be already in there, and a few settings to make things better. Hopefully fixed the errors in F.

Edit the script in notepad or something. Right at the top there is this:

There are a few other things too from before / experiments.

These should be self explanatory in name - 1 is on, 0 is off. edit them to your preference, save and load the script

Dave - I was setting up Stars Planner v0.4d (and other AHK) for a buddy on Vista remotely, and had an issue. The 'f5redraw..." error kept popping up, even after editing the proper INI, and restarting Stars. What could cause this? UAC is completely off.

Also, any reason why TheOpener wouldn't want to open up PokerStars.exe, or PokerStarsUpdate.EXE? And instead simply open up a Windows Explorer window to C\Program Files\PokerStars?

I just got the G version and checked the CPU use. Sitting idle with nothing else running, it is using between 0 & 2 with 544 memory. The F version was using MUCH more (6-8) CPU and `2500 memory.

I am done for the night, but am looking forward to using it tomorrow.

THANK YOU ... DAVE !!!

That is good to know, dunno what was the problem, guess it is fixed

Dave, I got the error for the "ismin != -1" at line 1576, what was the correct fix again?

Too late to edit but I tried changing it to ifmin = -1 and it still gave me the same error like it didn't even read my changes. I suppose just restarting my computer will work, trying now.

bugger - how the hell do I manage to do that exact same thing again... one of my scripts must be messing up I wonder why I don't get that error when I test, it is certainly wrong...

Line 1576 *should* read

I'll upload fixed version right now...

EDIT: upped new version and fixed the code on the page too.

Thanks dave

What do these options do?

ignore_min := 0
ignore_left_pos := 0

I gave v0.4g a test run and the new features work perfectly. The lobby now stays maximized even when max tables are open. I no longer have to confirm that I want to leave a table.

Stars Planner is now just about perfect for my needs. I play exclusively limit ring games, so I would also like an option to automatically buy in for the default amount when I am seated.

There is one minor issue. I am using a multimonitor setup with the lobby maximized on a 1600x1200 monitor. Sometimes the buyin window appears over the new table, then immediately shifts to the lobby monitor. This always seems to happen when my last mouse click was on the lobby monitor.

There is another feature which would be nice, but I don't know if this can be done with AHK.

It would be nice to have the option to automatically uncheck the wait for big blind box on fast tables or check the auto post blind box on normal tables if any of these conditions are true --

If the big blind is to my immediate right.

If the small blind is to my immediate right.

If the button is to my immediate right.

If button is on my seat.

Great work, Dave.

Finished a three hours session of 8 Tables on Stars and v0.4g worked VERY SMOOTHLY. AHK CPU use peaked at 6 a couple times, but was usually in the 1-4 range. Memory use semed pretty consistant at a little under 1700.

The next thing I expect to hear is that you really didn't make (m)any changes and that the script is virtually identical to what it was before.

Thanks for everything, ance again.

Thanks a lot, your script rocks
